“Maggie, you’re here, greeted Danielle Joyton, the teacher from the First Institute.

She was a woman in her thirties, with a great vibe that hinted at an artistic background.

“Hi, Ms. Joyton.” Maggie nodded in greeting, then exchanged nods with the other school representatives.

Sierra gave Maggie a cold glare and scoffed, “I can’t understand the school’s decision to allow anyone and everyone to join the competition. Seriously, does the piano contest only care about appearances? I wonder who’ll end up embarrassed when it’s all said and done!”

It was a blunt remark, without a hint of politeness.

The others knew a bit about the relationship between Maggie and Sierra, so they were completely caught off guard by how tense things got between them at the mere sight of each other.

Maggie’s expression remained calm as she glanced at her and said gently, “Well, thanks for the compliment on my looks. Let’s just hope the judges and audience go easy on me because of this face.”

Sierra chuckled scornfully, about to say more, but Danielle cut in.

“Okay, that’s enough. We’re all from the same school here. Maya, James, go get your makeup done. Your outfits have been sent over.

Danielle led a few people backstage at the First Institute’s spot and got everyone settled.

Except for Sierra and a girl named Maya Harper, who had their own makeup artists, the rest, including Maggie, relied on the stylists provided by the school.

Maya and James listened to Danielle’s instructions while they got their makeup done.
