Chapter 225 - 223: Music Final Evaluation IV

When they reached the stage, Charlton took a guitar and sat at the side. Kylo was having cold feet as he stood in the middle in front of the mic.

Serena and her friends all knew that Kylo was singing for Via. Gizel was still not convinced but with Serena saying some nice words about Kylo, they all decided to give him a chance. Besides, truth was, Via does like him obviously.

Anyway, Charlton started strumming the guitar, and Serena could not stop her eyes from mooning. Although Kylo was the star for their performance, her eyes could not help but be drawn towards Charlton. Even just sitting there, he was exuding so much appeal.

Then, Kylo started singing. Surprisingly, his slightly trembling voice at the beginning gave the song more charm. To be honest, with his hair that reached his chin tucked behind his ear, he looked and sounded so s.e.xy that moment.

"You're just too good to be true

Can't take my eyes off of you

You'd be like Heaven to touch

I wanna hold you so much

At long last, love has arrived

And I thank G.o.d I'm alive

You're just too good to be true

Can't take my eyes off of you."

Kylo was still nervous, but he was getting the hang of it. Having more courage, he looked up and there he saw Via smiling at him. Seeing her that way, he gained more confidence. As he also began to smile her way.

"Pardon the way that I stare

There's nothin' else to compare

The sight of you leaves me weak

There are no words left to speak

But if you feel like I feel

Please let me know that it's real

You're just too good to be true

Can't take my eyes off of you"

Singing the 'you' part, Kylo pointed his two index fingers at Via and even started swaying. Charlton continued playing the guitar and this time, the melody got more upbeat and Kylo started to dance while striking poses.

I love you, baby

And if it's quite alright

I need you, baby

To warm the lonely night

I love you, baby

Trust in me when I say

Oh, pretty baby

Don't bring me down, I pray

Oh, pretty baby

Now that I've found you, stay

And let me love you, baby

Let me love you"

Becoming more and more confident, he even winked at her, as he continued pointing his fingers at her as he sang. Everyone was not really surprised at Kylo's antics as that has always been his personality. So, they just cheered him on. While he sang.

"You're just too good to be true

Can't take my eyes off of you

You'd be like Heaven to touch

I wanna hold you so much

At long last, love has arrived

And I thank G.o.d I'm alive

You're just too good to be true

Can't take my eyes off you

I love you, baby

And if it's quite alright

I need you, baby

To warm the lonely night

I love you, baby

Trust in me when I say

Oh, pretty baby

Don't bring me down, I pray

Oh, pretty baby

Now that I've found you, stay

Oh, pretty baby

Trust in me when I say

Oh, pretty baby"

After Kylo finished singing, everyone started cheering like crazy, teasing him, exclaiming, 'Whoooo!!!! Kylo is in love!' 'Love is in the air!!!'

Via, well, she always thought Kylo was funny. Though at that moment, she could not help covering her reddened face with her hands because of some secondhand embarra.s.sment for him. That was not to say that she was not happy, because she was, and behind her palms, she was smiling. After Serena and Charlton got back together, he always tried to make his presence known. In the orphanage, he would go out of his way to sit with her group. She slowly noticed that he likes her, but she doubted if he was being serious. She was very much aware that they were not of equal social footing as he was a prince and she a mere daughter of an earl. Aside from that, they were from different kingdoms. However, she did like him and if he truly likes her that way, then she was willing to give it a try.

Kylo could see Via's reddened face as her hands did not cover her face completely. He could also sense that she did not take it negatively. Thus, he felt exhilarated.

"I never thought I would say this, but Kylo too could be quite charming. I couldn't believe that he just proclaimed that he's whipped in front of everyone." Milly commented.

Gizel gave an eyeroll, but she did somewhat feel happy for Via. Although she kept on insisting that Kylo's not good enough because he's a playboy and all, obviously he's still a prince. Besides, her cousin fancies him. So, fine. He does deserve a chance. Still, she gave him a warning glare, not that Kylo saw it. He was too focused on Via to look at anyone else.

Serena grinned as she looked at Via then Kylo. It was truly romantic if you were to ask her. Of course, it's only romantic because Via likes Kylo too. Anyway, meeting Charlton's eyes, they smiled at each other.

Leonard was not surprised. Kylo did frequently visit the archery club with the excuse of looking for him. At least now, he doesn't have to be worried with the thought that Kylo was bending that way and was able to connect the dots.

Geoffrey chuckled. He did feel happy for Kylo despite him overshadowing his performance. It was funny how he sang and danced, perhaps he should've partnered with Charlton instead. Then again, he could not imagine himself doing what Kylo did.

Finally, when the cheers died down a little, Felix coughed to garner everyone's attention. He was also smiling from ear to ear. Then he clapped his hands, "Bravo!!!! Kylo, bravo!!!! I am so proud of you. I never thought that you can sing in such a way. Very good! Charlton, again, you went over and beyond my expectations! Thank you to the both of you for giving such a wonderful performance."

Charlton smiled at Felix and thanked him as he stood up from his sitting position. Noticing that Kylo was still smiling like an idiot at Via's direction, he gave him a nudge.

Feeling Charlton's nudge, Kylo finally tore his eyes away from Via to turn his attention to Felix who just smiled at him. Still dazed, he went back to his seat, his grin not leaving his face as he was still on cloud nine.

Anyway, Felix went to the very front to congratulate everyone for their performances. He thanked them for taking this subject this year and with some tears he even said that he was so proud of them, and that this year's music cla.s.s was the best he ever handled. Of course, he said not to tell it to anyone though. To which all the students laughed and cheered. After that, he dismissed them all and everyone recalling Kylo's performance for Via teased them one more before leaving the cla.s.s.

"Come on, let's go..." Serena said convincing Gizel to let Via have some alone time with Kylo.

"But…" Gizel complained.

Still smiling, Milly shook her head as she grabbed Gizel's arm to pull her along.
