And this was what she had done in this moment.

Lisa had continued playing for a moment longer until she saw Ollie stop. Huh? Did she notice how atrocious she was? “See? No way you can be as bad as me.” It took a certain level of talent... She tilted her head curiously. “I know what you’re going to play is much, much prettier than whatever that mashup was.”

She believed in her friend.

One thing that Ollie really liked about Lisa was the she could joke about her self. Ollie wasn't able to do that. If she made a mistake, it messed up her whole day, or if she knew she was bad at something it would embarrass her really bad... like flying. So, she was glad to have a friend who could joke about things they were bad at or didn't know, maybe Lisa could rub off on her.

It also made Ollie really happy that Lisa had confidence in her, even when Ollie had no confidence in herself. She knew what she wanted to play, The ‘Kreutzer’ Sonata No.9; Op. 47 in A Major by Beethoven, a piece she had down perfectly once upon a time ago. "Thanks Lisa. Sorry if it sounds really bad." She pulled her violin back to her shoulder and readied herself, closing her eyes and envisioning the sheet music in her head.

Annnnnndddd.... She began! It started off a little rocky, a few wrong notes her and there, but as she got further into the piece she started to sound much, much better. This was one of the pieces Ollie's dad made her learn when she wanted to sleepover at a friends house. She didn't get to, because she didn't have the piece perfect then, but she had practiced, and practiced to make it perfect.

She was a little more than halfway through the piece when her viola strings ripped completely. "GAH!"
