As the Professor's eyes stopped on Carmen, she groaned in ultimate irritation. "You look like a pretty girl, my dear princess!" Carmen leaned forward, her arched eyebrows clearly stating anger.

"Excuse me, Professor, but I am no pretty princess. And since I am what I recognise as a baglady and a sidekick, 'princess' is probably a harsh overstatement." Carmen simply uttered to the professor.

"Well, Miss Rosenrot, no royal heir should doubt their nobility for a second! Now quickly, pick your instrument. Perhaps a gentle harp or an enchanted bird choir?" the Professor spoke.

Carmen let out a ruptuous but tamed chuckle and replied, "Perhaps not. I'll go with the cello.", walking towards a glossy but nostalgic cello, without even listening to the teacher's opinion. As she slickly slid out the bow, she calmly but firmly turned to behind the cello. She started to play.

It was clear that Carmen's vivid rendition of the instrumental to 'Smooth Criminal' was a world away from the typical princess tune. Shaking her head fiercely with the tune, she weaved the bow across the strings, turning several times. If you listened very closely, you could make out her intense but melodious singing voice, very quietly. After entering into a higher pitch, she finished the piece with a short freestyled build-up and a final high note.

As the class casually stared, either at her or at their exercise books, she leaned against the cello and started to get up, as she placed the bow back in it's usual rest spot. After briefly smiling, she made her way back to her desk, not before pitching in. "Thank you for your consideration."
