Teach Me How To Sing

Summary:

Jesper takes musical theatre as an elective (yeah, we don't know why either), and part of taking musical theatre means you become very close to the music department and the music majors. On his first day of musical theatre, the class goes to meet the music department, and there, he sees the most gorgeous man he's ever laid his eyes on. He just needs to text his friends about it.

[Bad Bitch Club]

Jesper: why did I think doing an elective in musical theatre would be good?

Jesper: I’m a drama student I can’t do music

Jesper: I got a fucking D in music in secondary

Nina: plsss good luck babe

Nina: sing your heart out like you’re in the shower

Jesper: I need to dance 😭

Inej: I can help you I do gymnastics

Jesper: God knows I’ll need it

Jesper: pray for me I have my first class today

Nina: this is so funny

Jesper: it is not

Jesper: I will pass out

Jesper: my voice breaks whenever I try to sing

Nina: I know I’ve heard it

Jesper: rude

Nina: yup!

Jesper: I THINK I’VE DIED AND ASSENDED TO HEAVEN

Nina: you better tell us what’s going on

Jesper: okay

Jesper: so I arrived at the lecture hall for musical theatre

Jesper: and the professor told us that because obviously musical theatre involves music, we’re going to be heavily tied in with the music department and the music majors

Jesper: plus their going to be doing a module on musical theatre preforming

Jesper: so we went over to the music department to meet the music majors

Jesper: and there was like 100 of them or something to make up a full sized orchestra

Jesper: anyway, I was just looking around at all the majors since I’m probably going to get to know them a little bit while I do this stupid elective

Jesper: and when I tell you I saw THE MOST GORGEOUS BOY EVER

Jesper: like I know I have low standards, but I’m not kidding this guy was an angel

Jesper: and he plays the flute how cute is that

Nina: aww omg little Jesper is in love

Jesper: shut up its not love

Jesper: but he was so stunning

Nina: L, is for the way you look at me

Jesper: it’s lust at most

Kaz: please stop talking about this

Inej: do you know his name?

Jesper: no I didn’t even talk to him

Nina: pussy

Jesper: trust me I would have talked to him if I could have

Jesper: but there were so many people in the room and no time

Jesper: I’m just going to pray we get to work together at one point

Jesper: maybe I’ll ask for a one-on-one lesson 😉🍆
