Chapter 96

• "And now, please welcome the talented senior from the Art Department, Alina, who will perform 'Tim McGraw' for us!" The host's voice had barely faded when Alina appeared on stage.
• She wore her hair in a ponytail, with a blue sweatshirt and a loose white skirt, holding a guitar as she sat in the center of the stage. She adjusted the microphone height, and as the lights dimmed, the spotlight focused solely on her.
