love on stage - spacerap

the choir

Ricky Pov:

Walking into the classroom, the smell of polish and freshly painted walls fill my nose. I take a step back, my crutches behind me, as everyone stares at me.. they all so up tight, almost like robots.. a ginger haired girl shoots up, a large obnoxious smile on her face 

"Ricky Potts! Welcome to the choir! Please, introduce yourself!".. 

Everyone falls silent. It takes a while before another kid stands up.. He has dark brown hair that is slicked over to one side and definitely had too much gel in it.. 

"He can't talk you imbecile!" 

He says, obviously trying to hold back laughter. His voice sounded slightly feminine.. I remember him from somewhere.. Of course! It's Noel! The only gay boy in school! Or.. At least to only openly gay man in school. I hear snickering from the back of the room. I have to move my head to the side a bit just to see him.. He had fluffy brown hair with a backwards cap sitting nicely on it.. He had dark brown eyes and a sinister smile. 

"You can't make the mute kid talk, orphan a-hole" 

he says, a smile still lingering on his lips. He had a strong Ukrainian accent that fitted quite well with his appearance. A girl sitting at the front with black and purple space buns begins to speak.

 "She didn't know that! Don't be rude, Mischa!" 

She says, trying to defend the loud ginger. 

"Right! I apologize for my behavior! You could uh- sign language? No, no one knows that hear.. Write it? No you probably can't read or write.." 

My jaw drops in shock as she says that. What was that supposed to mean!? I hear someone burst out it laughter in the back.. I move slightly to see who it was. It was the Ukrainian kid.. Mischa I think his name was. I soon notice another person that's sitting not near the front but not nearly the back.. Directly in the middle. She had long black hair that she styled into braids, pale white skin that had freckles dotted around her face, plain black glasses that sat on her nose. She was reading a book.. The book called "the wizard of once".. The wizard of once!? I loved that book! She must be awesome. I soon snap back into reality, still hearing the annoying girl rambling on wondering how I will introduce myself. She stops and sighs.. She doesn't seem interested any more.

 " sorry, just find a way" 

she mumbles before sitting back down next to a larger girl. I don't know what to do so I just wave and smile. I was about to find a seat to sit down in, until I hear the ginger make a hurtful comment to her friend.. 

"How long he's got if we feed him through a tube?" 

She whispers to her 'best friend'. My heart drops  but I quickly brush it off and sit down next to the girl with braided black hair. I place my crutches on the side of the desk I sat at. I wave hello to her and she waves back. She seems quiet.. Not social.. Like me. I point at her book before putting a thumbs up. I see her smile become large and wide. She must really love it. She quickly nods and gives me a soft, thankful smile. I give her one back. 

"I'm Penny" 

she says.. Her voice sounding sweet, almost like a child. I sign her name out of instinct, not knowing why.. But I seemed to make her really happy. She copies off me, spelling her name in sign language as well. It brings a smile to my face as I watch this. I point at myself before signing my name out. 

"R-I-C-K-Y".. 

And she repeats. I smile once again, this time it was genuine. I soon hear a chuckle from the corner of the room.. I turn around to see Mischa smiling at me and Penny.. Was he finding this stupid? I roll my eyes and turn around, taking his smile as an insult although I didn't know if it was. I look at penny and subtly point at Mischa so he doesn't know. Penny understood and replied 

"don't worry, he won't do harm. It's just a disguise." 

Mischa overheard this and flipped off penny. She chuckled softly as she knew he wasn't serious.. Until Mischa stood up and began to walk over to us.. 

"Oi, what are you doing"

 he angrily says, rage dripping from his voice.. Yet he seemed more angry at penny than me. She begins to talk..

 "We were just-" 

"I didn't ask what you were doing, I asked what you are doing." 

He rudely interrupts.. Penny was surprised by his response, not expecting him to snap at her like that. 

"H-he just asked why you were smiling at us.."

 She says, stuttering as she explains. 

"That's non of your damn business, ok? Go hug your doll or something, loser."

 He spits out before walking back to his chair. I could tell she was upset when he mentioned a.. Doll? I tilt my head at her to ask what he meant. She understands and begins to take something out her bag. She sits a doll with short blond hair and emerald green eyes onto the desk. My eyes widen slightly as I look at it. A smile spreads across my face as I sign

 "awesome sauce" 

even though she can't understand it. She signs it back, confused. I take a piece of paper out and write

 "awesome sauce" 

she chuckles softly 

"thank you, Ricky"

 she says with a smile.
