Chapitre 12: A Performance

The news about Queena that had caused a stir among the students finally subsided. Currently, the students were more occupied discussing the upcoming art performance scheduled for 3 days later. However, a different story unfolded for Viona, who was intercepted by her dance instructor as she was about to leave the dance room.

"Can I help you with something, Mr. Ryanto?" Viona asked curiously.

"I want to express my gratitude. Thanks to you, I didn't fall into Queena's trap. And thanks to you as well, I still have my job as an instructor in this school. This job is the only way I can support my mother in the hospital," the man said with a face full of appreciation.

Viona blinked, okay, she didn't know that Mr. Ryanto had a mother who was in the hospital. As far as she remembered when she was in jail, Mr. Ryanto didn't mention anything about it. Oh, besides, it had been years since that incident. Perhaps Mr. Ryanto's mother had passed away while he was in prison? So... it was reasonable.

Viona nodded, touched by Mr. Ryanto's gratitude. "I'm glad I could help, Mr. Ryanto. I didn't want to see anyone else fall victim to Queena's schemes."

Mr. Ryanto smiled warmly. "You're a remarkable young woman, Viona. Your integrity and courage saved not only me but potentially many others as well. It's not easy to stand up against someone like Queena."

Viona blushed slightly at the praise. "Thank you, Mr. Ryanto. I just couldn't stand by and watch someone manipulate and hurt others."

Mr. Ryanto's expression turned serious. "You know, Viona, sometimes doing the right thing comes with its challenges. But in the end, it's what defines our character. I'm sure your parents would be proud of the person you've become."

Viona's smile faded a bit as she thought about her parents. They had been supportive of her throughout her life, but they were no longer around to witness her actions. "I hope so, Mr. Ryanto."

"Just remember, Viona, life is filled with unexpected twists and turns. You never know how one action can create a ripple effect and change someone's life for the better," Mr. Ryanto said thoughtfully.

Viona nodded, absorbing his words. "I'll keep that in mind."

As Viona left the dance room, she couldn't help but reflect on the chain of events that had unfolded. She hadn't anticipated that standing up for what was right would have such a significant impact, not only on her life but on the lives of others as well. She felt a renewed sense of purpose and determination, knowing that even small actions could lead to positive change.

With the upcoming art performance just around the corner, Viona felt a mix of excitement and nerves. She was ready to pour her heart and soul into her dance, hoping to inspire others and continue spreading the message that standing up against injustice was worth it, no matter the challenges that came her way.

The long-awaited Arts Festival day had finally arrived. The entire school was filled with students and their parents. Various food, drink, and souvenir stands were set up by the 11th-grade students to provide a different experience beyond acting.

In the school auditorium, the new students and their parents/guardians were gathered to attend the arts festival, which they had known about since the beginning. Some 12th-grade students were in charge and responsible for the event.

"Thank you all for being here at our routine Arts Festival. For the first event, we'll have a performance by our juniors, the new students. Let's welcome Class X-A to kick off the event~," the MC announced with enthusiasm.

"But before that, let's warmly welcome... Mr. Gilang Amethyst representing Amethyst Entertainment!!"

Enthusiastic applause immediately resounded throughout the auditorium. Of course, everyone knew who Gilang Amethyst was. They also knew that if Gilang Amethyst was at the event, then there was a possibility he would select some individuals to become talents in his company! This, of course, made all participants excited when they saw Gilang sitting in a special seat accompanied by several other important figures.

The auditorium buzzed with anticipation as the students and parents turned their attention to the special guest, Gilang Amethyst. His presence added a layer of excitement and potential opportunities to the already vibrant atmosphere of the Arts Festival. As the applause died down, Mr. Gilang Amethyst stood up, acknowledging the crowd with a gracious smile.

"Thank you for having me here today," he began, his voice carrying a charismatic and confident tone. "I'm truly impressed by the talent and creativity that this school has nurtured. As someone who is passionate about the arts and entertainment industry, it's a pleasure to witness the performances that are about to unfold."

The students looked at each other with a mixture of excitement and nerves. To have the attention of someone as influential as Gilang Amethyst was a dream come true for many of them. It added a layer of pressure to their performances, but also a surge of motivation to showcase their best.

"Mr. Gilang is accompanied by... Mr. Raharda Dika and Mrs. Erna Miranda!!" the MC continued with great excitement. "And, of course, let's not forget, Mr. Alexander Ludwick and Mrs. Savanna Kent!" she added as the applause subsided.

For a few moments, the only sounds in the auditorium were enthusiastic claps and whistles.

"Now, without further ado, let's give a warm welcome to Class X-A as they take the stage for their performance!" the MC announced, signaling the start of the first performance.

The lights dimmed, and the stage came to life with vibrant colors and captivating music. The juniors of Class X-A showcased a mesmerizing dance and music performance that had been meticulously rehearsed for weeks. Their energy, synchronization, and passion were palpable, resonating with the audience and drawing them into the performance.

As the performance concluded, the auditorium erupted into applause and cheers. The students of Class X-A took their bow, clearly exhilarated by the response. The MC returned to the stage, microphone in hand.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's give another round of applause for Class X-A! What an incredible start to our Arts Festival!" The applause grew louder, and the students of Class X-A beamed with pride.

Mr. Gilang Amethyst stood up once again, a thoughtful expression on his face. He then turned to the other figures accompanying him, engaging in a brief conversation. The students held their breath, wondering if any of them would catch his eye.

The MC stepped forward, a glint of excitement in their eyes. "Ladies and gentlemen, it seems like Mr. Gilang Amethyst has an announcement to make!"

The audience hushed, and all eyes were on Mr. Gilang Amethyst as he took the microphone. "I've been thoroughly impressed by the talent displayed here today. Amethyst Entertainment is always on the lookout for fresh and passionate individuals who can contribute to the world of arts and entertainment. If any of you are interested in exploring opportunities in this industry, I encourage you to reach out to us. We believe in nurturing and supporting young talents."

The auditorium erupted into a mix of cheers and excited chatter. The students exchanged excited glances, whispering to each other about the possibilities that lay ahead. The Arts Festival had taken on an entirely new dimension, fueled by the potential doors that could open for those who dared to pursue their dreams.
