All day long, Meryl endured whispers and rumors. Everyone she encountered seemed to gossip about her alleged "plagiarism."

She ignored them and focused on practicing her cello, listening to music for inspiration.

After class, Meryl and Harvey left the room and ran into Hank Lopez, the violin instructor from the next class over.

Hank glanced at Meryl, then pulled Harvey aside, saying in a low voice, "Mr. Herty, may I have a word?"

Harvey wasn't much of an internet user and probably wasn't aware of the uproar on Twitter.

Hank kindly informed him, "Have you heard? People online are saying your new protégé plagiarized someone else's composition."

If the accusation was proven true, it wouldn't just harm Meryl; Harvey's own reputation as her mentor could also be tarnished.

The music world had zero tolerance for such things, and Hank, concerned for Harvey's reputation, wanted to warn him. Harvey raised an eyebrow. "Plagiarism?"

Waving Hank off, Harvey walked away.

Hank frowned at his retreating figure. "Mr. Herty, I'm just looking out for you. The evidence is right there! Did you even look closely?" He followed Harvey, still trying to make his point.

Curious, she pulled out her phone, as she hadn't checked social media all day.

Her notifications were flooded with mentions, and users were demanding her response to the plagiarism scandal.

"No wonder everyone in the orchestra was pointing fingers," she thought. "So it's already blown up this much?"
