Shock

She got a shock, but he wasn't kidding. His face was serious.
'The Christmas event?', she asked.
'Yes, of course.'
'This Christmas event?', she asked again.
'Sure... why should I have told you to come here?', he replied.
'But, the entire school will be there!', she whispered.
'You have to start once. You'll learn it', he said standing up from the piano walking towards the door. The girl next to her just said 'Oh, the pupils from the WS frequently asked me when I'm going to sing next... the want me to sing again.'
He went out of the room saying 'See you on Thursday'.
She went downstairs to her English lesson.

This certain Christmas event is on Friday next week.
And this girl who has to sing there will be on stage in front of the whole school... and she is NOT in favour of that. She'd rather like to buy 30 more Christmas presents than standing there, singing 'Last Christmas' and 'The best side of life' (from an artist she really doesen't like).
Pitiful...
