Chapter 21: Bittersweet Victory

Abner Musk was enraged. He was just strolling around with Isabel when Shane suddenly decided to slap him out of the blue. He was one of the wealthier first year students at Sommerset, so he never had someone stand up to him like Shane just did. He was so used to getting his way, so it came as a surprise to him that someone didn’t fear him. Did Shane even know who he was?“You have some nerve lifting your hand to me. You must be afraid of living!” he roared. He snapped his fingers and suddenly a group of ten students, all clad in black suits, surrounded Shane. He was going to teach Shane a lesson, even if it was the last thing he did. Just then, David and a group of his friends, passed by where Shane was. When he saw what was happening, he immediately rushed to Shane’s aid.

He received a text message on his phone which informed him about the time and place he should be as well as when it was his turn to perform.

Once Shane arrived backstage of the talent show, he was surrounded by dozens of other contestants. He could see some of them biting their nails with how nervous they were, while others were laughing and chatting with one another. Everyone had a slightly different demeanour. Shane was part of the group who were quite nervous since he saw the huge turnout of people earlier in the crowd. He just hoped that he wouldn’t make a fool of himself when he performed on stage. It wasn’t usually a problem for him to perform in front of a large audience, since he always had Andrew who would watch his back, but now he was all alone. This was a path that he had to walk on his lonesome if he wanted to become a man. “Fancy meeting you here,” a voice said. The voice sounded very familiar so Shane was pleasantly surprised when he saw Melissa calling out to him. She had a huge grin on her face as she looked at him.
