Chapter Text
Avi POV
"Whyyyyyyyy?" I asked Kevin as we walked down the hall to the choir room, already late.
"Because you have a great bass voice and that choir needs one, trust me. Most of them are tenors and sopranos, with the few altos and baritones here and there" answered Kevin.
Kevin had managed to persuade me to join choir. I mean all my best friends go, and I don't have too bad a voice if I do say myself, being classically trained and all. Anyway Kevin heard me singing to myself last week, and wouldn't stop going on about it. He told Kirstie that I had a great voice and she kept casually mentioning it whenever we were talking, because I knew she really wanted to hear me sing. I finally gave in to Kevin today and decided to join choir.
"Fine I'll go then." I said with a sigh. "But if I don't like it today I'm leaving"
"Deal" replied Kevin, and we shook on it.
I walked into the choir room, and Mitch, Kirstie and Scott were already there, looking very surprised to see me there. I was surprised that I actually agreed to go.
What if they all hate my voice? What if what if...
I was trying to get all these negative thoughts out of my head. I just worry too much I guess.
I walked over and stood beside Kirstie.
Damn, Kirstie's looking really cute today!
No, I need to get these thoughts out of my head, she doesn't like me, and she's dating Jeremy of course.
"Hi" Kirstie said to me, with her ADORABLE little side smirk. "What made you join choir?"
"Kevin" I replied with a slight sigh. "He finally persuaded me to join, after hearing me sing"
"Well I really can't wait to hear you then" she said with a smile.
I think I might have a crush on her. I know it's wrong but I can't help myself. She's just so beautiful and kind and-
"Avi Kaplan?" My thoughts were interrupted when the choir director, Mr. Carrol called my name. "Welcome to the choir! As a tradition, everybody new who joins choir has to sing in front of the class, so I can see what your tone is and how you sing"
I almost fainted when he said that.
"I- I don't really, um, want to." I mumbled
"C'mon, it won't be hard just a chorus of a song"
I sighed and walked to the front of the class. I had decided to sing Rolling in the Deep by Adele.
I took a deep breath
"We could have had it all"
"Rolling in the deep"
I finished the chorus and nobody said a word. Not even Mitch.
Everybody body looked in awe, or shocked, couldn't really tell.
After the awkward silence, Mr. Carroll said "I think you're a bass"
Then I went and stood back beside Kirstie. "That was amazing". She smiled and gave me a hug. I never wanted to let go...
