Ocean and Constance were sat by one of the desks, their lips pressed together in a gentle kiss; constance running her fingers through ocean's neatly brushed hair, with ocean's arm around constance's waist.
"WHAT. THE. FUCK." Noel shouted, his voice echoing through the tightly packed room.
Ocean quickly composed herself, standing up and pushing away constance, trying to forget what happened. Constance looked back at her, heartbroken.
ocean quickly whispered something into her ear, to which constance just nodded and seemed rather normal again.
"listen, what you all just saw there was just a badly timed moment okay-?"
"BADLY TIMED MOMENT?! OCEAN O'CONNELL ROSENBURG YOU WERE JUST MAKING OUT WITH HER. ON MY DESK."
mischa was just standing there laughing, just at noels sheer emotion of the situation.
"SHUT UUUUP" Ocean blushed furiously, taking her seat as Father Markus walked into the room.
A girl walked in from their year, Jane, holding a porcelain doll in her arms and taking a seat beside the lot of them. This was Penny, ofcourse, but due to the legalities of what happened with her parents, her social workers registered her into Saint Cassians with a new name.
"Hi jane!!" Constance said, though she was still slightly afraid of the girl.
Penny loved freaking Constance out. She used the dolls arm to wave at her, smiling slightly,.and not shifting eye contact with her.
"Guys, sit down," Father Markus stated calmly, as everyone took their seats, "who are you?" He continued.
"this is... someone. he's my friend, he wanted to join!"
"Amazing! we always need new applicants, can i have his name for the register?"
"no." Mischa jumped in.
"okay.. anyway," father markus continued chatting about the fall fair coming after the summer break, to which everyone seemed excited about, so mischa attempted to match their level of excitement.
"new student, can you sing?" Father Markus asked politely.
"no.."
"then why did you come to choir?"
"noel made me bec-" He was cut off by noel covering his mouth with his hand, so mischa just muffled random stuff.
"okay.. i have 3 songs to decide between and i need all of your opinions on which is best."
he began to hand out sheet music with names on the top,
'Uranium' the first one read, with some notes mischa understood for him to sing.
"can we all try this?" The choir conducter said to which the students agreed, and the music began to play.
"Uranium!" Ocean's strong voice belted out,
"Uranium!" The rest of the choir followed, "That's our town, our friendly town."
"Uranium!" The insufferable one belted again,
"Uranium!, That's our town, our highway town!" The others continued.
"The sky is almost blue here
Grain elevators too, here" Noels voice read out beautifully, mischa was impressed with his voice, he could listen to it for hours if he ever got the chance.
"The pride and joy of sweet Saskatchewan"
"We came here for the half-life
And stayed here for our whole life" Constance's sweet voice finished,
"To give the whole wide world plutonium!"
"Uranium!!"
"Uranium! Oh no, no we will never leave this town at all.."
ocean quickly said, "don't these lyrics seem a bit.. ominous?"
"Oh, its fine! It'll be near halloween, why not make it a bit creepy?"
Father Markus let an instrumental play, for a good minute, before the children all continued in a strangely perfect sync.
And then you're sailing through space, you don't know up or down, and you feel a little strange, from all that's spinning round, and everything you loved, and everything you dreamed and everything you feared, and everything that seems so, oh so terrifying. and its far behind on the ground. Like our far-from-the-city-little-itty-bitty-pretty hometown.
just a teeny tiny dot, on a wee blue ball, and we've all been spinning..
"all been spinning" the two boys harmonised,
round and round and round, and round and round, round and round and round and round and round, and round and round..
The boys took a deep breaths before holding the word 'uranium' for a few seconds whilst the girls sung;
"Empty streets of empty shops,
Shuttered rows of mom and pops,
Bow down to the mega shopping mall.."
before the boys then sung again;
"the smart ones all packed up and went; why stay if you can't pay the rent? we will never leave this town at all.."
Drink some brew,
join the choir!
build yourself a funeral pyre.
uranium, our dead end dive;
we'll never leave this town alive,
no we will never
leave
this
town
at
all...

"do i just stand there the whole time?" Jane asked.
"....maybe that song doesn't fit you in. There aren't many high parts, i'll try and get one where you atleast have one bit." Father markus stated again, feeling slightly guilty for leaving her out.
they tried other songs; eventually settling on 'waiting for the drop,' since it gave jane a part as well as everyone having at least one line.

after choir ended, noel walked out with mischa.
"why'd you lie?"
Mischa panicked.
Noel knew?
"about what..?"
"about being a bad singer!! You were amazing!!!"
No words could explain the feeling of relief that surged through mischa's body when Noel said that.
"Thanks... you were much better. You have beautiful voice."
