When their class took to the stage, Thomaz looked at some of his friends who were talking to each other and nodded, when he received a non-verbal confirmation from the others, an evil smile formed on his face.
He wouldn't let this rookie off for free after he beat him in the corner competition, but he couldn't let the others know that he was doing it on purpose.
Aatrox, who was still oblivious to all this, was talking happily with his group mates. Violet had brought the costume they had planned. She had a friend who was a seamstress and during the planning time they ordered clothes of the time for them to wear.
For Aatrox it would be a completely white outfit, since he would be the lead singer. The white outfit according to her, would attract more attention during the performance. Thomaz would wear a completely black outfit to make contrast, while the others would wear red, blue, and yellow. With these colors, depending on how they organized themselves on stage, it would be possible to form both the colors of the U.S. flag and the German flag.
But to the unhappiness of the group, Thomaz protested.
"As I was decided to be the second voice, I demand that the white costume be mine. After all, this is not a solo show by our friend Benjamin." He said with a critical eye as he looked at Aatrox from top to bottom.
"Thomaz, we decided this a long time ago, you know that the clothes were made to measure for all of us. If you keep Ben's clothes, the clothes won't fit you well." Violet said while feeling a headache was coming.
Thomaz looked at Aatrox's body, which had clothes that were a little loose at the time and said. "Look at our bodies, we're practically the same thing. Maybe my muscles will make his clothes a little loose, but it won't be a problem, what do you say, Benjamin?"
Aatrox felt that something was wrong, but he didn't care, from what he saw of Thomaz's body, the difference between their body wasn't really that big, but not the way Thomaz was thinking. "Honestly, it doesn't matter to me." Aatrox answered as he shrugged his shoulders.
"You see? Even Benjamin agreed, let me get the white clothes." Thomaz said with a proud smile.
Violet who had measured the two to pass on to her sewing friend knew how the two clothes would look on each, but since Thomaz was so determined, she decided not to care and gave him the white clothes.
It was decided that the first group to present would be Annie's group. Their presentation was very simple, since the only extrovert person in the group was Annie herself, no one else drew attention other than her.
The audience was impressed with her and started to pay more attention, since the vocalist was the actress of the series that was being talked about a lot on the internet.
All the groups that were presenting were from the same class, which made a lot of the audience disengaged with the performances, after all it was a school presentation, the content was very boring and amateurish.
Until one group that was coming in caught the attention of everyone who was watching.
On stage, a handsome boy dressed in a white shirt that was a little loose and keeping a forced smile on his face came in. Following him was a handsome boy with long black hair dressed in black clothing that was a little smaller than is should be, which enhanced the muscles that most of the time remained hidden. The serious look on his face next to the black set made him look like a black knight searching for his queen. The girls in the crowd gasped when they looked at his abdomen that, even with a black shirt, left a perfectly sculpted six-pack, making them wish they were the queen he was looking for. Behind him, two beautiful girls and a shy boy were coming to the center of the stage.
Thomaz was frustrated to see that Aatrox's clothes had become a little loose in him, while his own had fit the boy perfectly.
The whole audience was silent when they saw who the man in black was. It was the person they were most excited to see singing today, the swordsman! Some people wanted to see him fail, others wanted him to make the best presentation of the evening, to brag to those who weren't there.
"Good evening, everyone, tonight we'll sing a song about World War II. I imagine you're already tired of so many people presenting about boring world facts, so to brighten the mood a little, we chose the theme from a series that most people like and we'll sing our parody." Aatrox said calmly as he picked up the guitar and started to play.
The rest of the members accompanied him and the music began. Thomaz with a forced smile on his face sang trying to make the second voice and looking to see if there was someone paying attention to him in the audience, but almost all the looks were directed at the boy in black.
Angry, Thomaz looked at his friends and winked with his left eye. They quickly understood the message.
Aatrox was singing happily as he saw the smile forming on the audience's face, they were enjoying it!
Suddenly, all the light on the stage went out.
"What happened?" A random person said.
"I don't know, it's a little hard to see the swordsman in the dark," said a little girl while trying her hardest to see Aatrox.
"Was it a technical problem?" Someone else asked.
...
The group had stopped singing, that's what Thomaz wanted! Now in the dark, no one else would pay attention to Aatrox and everyone would just look at him. Without losing the chance, he played the song again as if nothing had happened and waited for his group mates to accompany him.
The others didn't lose time and started to play together, this time Thomaz didn't make the second voice anymore and started to sing louder and louder. But to his unhappiness, when the audience was beginning to pay attention to him, everyone's eyes were drawn to his side again.
When Thomaz saw what was happening on his side, the anger he held for so long began to gush out.
