Eternal Love - The Talented Sophomore Part 3

Jamie's mind was filled with anger as she limped towards the auditorium where Ken was performing. She was not bothered by the fact that the young man did not apologise to her, but was annoyed by the way the young man had treated her. Jamie hated to be called a loser, and she would not hesitate to confront the person who called her a loser.

The melodious and mesmerising tunes produced from the saxophone as well as the unwavering support by his fans in the form of screaming and shouting allowed Jamie to confirm, without doubt, that she was standing directly outside the auditorium.

The people in the auditorium were busy indulging themselves in romantic love ballads that they did not notice Jamie limping into the auditorium.

"Thanks for coming. I hope that all of you here will be my juniors at Kalton College. My performance has ended, but I would like to have someone, preferably a girl, to play this newly-composed love duet with me before you and I leave the auditorium. So I wonder who will have the privilege of playing this piece of music with me," Ken asked.

Everyone quietened down within a split second. After all, the majority of the people there do not know how to play the saxophone, and those who knew how to were indecisive. They were willing to seize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play with Ken, but on the other hand, they were worried that they would become a victim of jealous fans.

Jamie had spotted that young man and was approaching him when that young man suddenly exclaimed.

"Ken, I found a saxophonist who is able to play that piece romantically and would certainly complement your style of playing," exclaimed that young man as he pointed his finger to Jamie.

"You! What are you up to now?"

"Oh my, I guess you are being cynical here. Why? You doubt my intentions? I would not recommend you to play with him unless you are really that skilled on the saxophone," that young man said with a tinge of sarcasm as Jamie stared at him with blood-shot eyes.

"I will play with him, and I will show you what I am capable of with that saxophone."

"I am so scared. No point bragging, prove that you can play. If you are able to play the saxophone, I will go down on my knees and beg for your forgiveness. If you are not able to do so, you will go down on your knees and lick my shoe."

A calm and collected Jamie walked up on to the stage as Ken awaited the person who would muster the courage to come up on stage to play with him.

"Here you are," Ken said as he passed a soprano saxophone and a brand-new reed to Jamie. Jamie received the saxophone and reed from Ken and went into a soundproof room to warm-up.

Ken followed suit as the audience now faced an empty stage.

"Do not act as if you know how to play! I rather you lick my shoes now than play terribly on an instrument that you are not familiar with. Do not let these people here leave Kalton College with headaches," that young man mocked.

There were mixed reactions to that remark. The majority of the audience kept silent while the minority either chuckled, burst out laughing or mocked Jamie.
