The professor thought to herself, this girl, she''s got it all - the voice, the looks, the body, and even the acting talent.


    As long as she stays on track and works hard to improve her acting skills, her future is immeasurable!


    Hearing this, Stephanie breathed a sigh of relief and went back to her seat.


    Gillian hugged her shoulders, showing her concern.


    Stephanie just smiled and shook her head, signaling that she was okay.


    When ss ended, many ssmates came to ask Stephanie, "How''s your mom now?"


    "Have you gathered enough money for your mom''s medical bills? Do you need help? We can help you..."


    "Stephanie, I''m sorry for the way I acted before. I didn''t mean to target you, I just thought you got into our ss through some dirty ways."


    Stephanie was showered with sympathy and said, half smiling and half crying, "Thank you for your concern... My mom''s medical bills are taken care of, or else I wouldn''t be able to attend school now." "That''s good to hear! Stephanie, you were amazing during that performance just now!"


    "Totally!"


    "What''s the big deal? She was just recounting her own experience... It''s not that impressive." In the ssroom, a female ssmate said sarcastically.


    "Megan Palmer, why don''t you perform something you''ve experienced and see if you can act as realistically? How about that?" Gillian replied, annoyed. "Heh... I didn''t do anything wrong, and the teacher didn''t ask me to perform, so why should I waste my time to entertain you guys?"


    "Then stop talking trash here!"


    "Mind your own business!"


    Stephanie stopped Gillian and said, "Just let it go and don''t pay attention to what others say."


    Stephanie knew that she and Gillian were the same - they wouldn''t fuss when they were bullied, but would be furious if their friend was wronged.


    She wasn''t mad about the ssmate''sment.


    After all, it''s true.


    She was just beginning to learn acting, and she wasn''t that great... Only by tapping into her memory-induced emotions did she achieve that performance. But in the teacher''s eyes, Stephanie''s ability to immerse herself in the scene by using external triggers was a sign of a talented actor.


    For an actor, getting into character either by letting someone else direct you or by figuring it out yourself was not a big difference. As long as you could immerse yourself in the story and bond with the character you have talent. N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    The depth of one''s achievement depends on the level of immersion.


    Gillian humphed and ignored that ssmate.


    After going to the bathroom with Stephanie, they went back to the ssroom for more sses.


    When school was over in the afternoon, Maddie came to their ssroom to pick them up and invited them to her house.


    Since Maddie had informed her parents beforehand, they had finished their work early and returned home to entertain guests.


    Although the family had had some unpleasant experiences with Gillian and Stephanie before, everyone agreed to not bring up those events.


    During dinner, as a gesture, Mr.

    Stephanie happily clinked he
