In this story, Clara is a new student who is initially shy and struggles to fit in, especially in her choir class. Megan, who is used to being the center of attention and holding the lead solo spot, becomes insecure when she notices that Dustin, a boy she likes, shows interest in Clara. This leads Megan to act cruelly toward Clara by trying to humiliate her, both by undermining her in class and by giving her bad advice for the school showcase.

Despite Megan's attempts to sabotage her, Clara shines during the showcase, performing beautifully and winning the admiration of her classmates, including Dustin. Megan's plan to humiliate Clara backfires, and instead, Clara gains confidence and support from those around her. The story illustrates the message that kindness and talent prevail over jealousy and bullying, and that true friends and admirers will appreciate someone for who they are, not for superficial reasons.

It also highlights the importance of giving everyone a fair chance and not underestimating people based on first impressions.
