“Landon, I want you to join in on the part that goes, ‘It’s love. It’s love. That’s how I’m feeling. It’s great. It’s great. My heart is reeling.’ Okay?”

Behind her, Zee heard a loud crash. Jasper’s music stand had fallen to the floor.

“So sorry,” Jasper said, bending down to collect the scattered papers. “I must have knocked it with my bow.”

Jasper wasn’t the only one out of sorts. Just the thought of singing those words with Landon made Zee’s head spin—until they started singing. The song was definitely romantic, but Landon sang like a robot. And Zee wasn’t much better. She expected to be nervous about the duet, but she wasn’t. And no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t turn the words into feelings.

To make matters worse, Jasper kept losing his place—and hitting the wrong notes.

Ms. Vardolis threw her arms in the air. “Wow!” she said when they finished. She wore a concerned expression.

“Did you like it?” Conrad asked.

“I don’t think that’s what she’s saying,” Missy told him.

“You’ll need to practice that one extra-hard on your own, or it will definitely not be ready by Saturday,” Ms. Vardolis explained.

“I have an idea!” Kathi blurted out. “Everyone can come to my house tonight to practice. We can order pizza for dinner.”

Ms. Vardolis smiled for the first time since they’d started the song. “What a great idea, Kathi. I’m sure knowing how you’re helping out would make your parents very proud.”

Kathi turned to Zee and smirked.

Zee ignored her. She couldn’t worry about Kathi at that moment. She grabbed her guitar and walked offstage before Landon could say anything to her about the romantic duet. A jumble of thoughts bounced around in her head. Instead of being excited about singing with Landon, she wasn’t sure she wanted to at all. Before Ms. Vardolis suggested their duet, The Beans sounded fantastic. But now the song was closer to being a disaster.
