Chapter 4 "Dangerous Revelations"
Saphira's POV:
"Let it go, let it go! Can't hold it back anymore!" Myra and Tori belt out the lyrics to 'Let It Go,' following Indina Menzel's character, Elsa, as she prances around the ice.
Pluto runs out of the room with a high pitched whine, as if the sounds of the girls singing physically pains him. Me? I'm currently laughing so hard tears are forming in the corners of my eyes.
"Stop, it hurts!" I beg, wrapping an arm around my ribs. The dying whale sounds stop and the movie gets paused in the middle of the song.
"Well, we wouldn't look like complete and utter idiots if you two buzz kills were singing with us," Tori says, pointing a finger at Nate and I.
I blink at her before turning to Nate. We take one look at each other before falling into a fit of laughter. Myra and Tori wait for the two of us to sober up before compromising.
"You guys need to sing with us!" Tori whines, her bottom lip jutting out.
Bad compromising skills.
"Guys, you know I can't and don't sing," I sigh, letting the arm around my middle fall into my lap. They look at me sceptically and my brow furrows in confusion.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" I ask, shifting slightly so I don't have to crane my neck to peer up at them.
"Saph, you take music class," Myra says slowly, raising a perfectly sculpted eyebrow.
"I play the piano," I reply, my expression revealing a hidden, 'duh,' message.
"I heard you singing in the shower once when I secretly came over," Myra blurts suddenly and I blink at her, not quite believing what I'm hearing.
"One: when did you secretly come over? And two: what!?" I ask, studying her face for evidence of a lie.
"It was when Tori and I planned your surprise party last year," she says and my teeth clench a tad at the excluded name in that sentence. "I came over to grab something from your room, but you hadn't been picked up by Tori yet, so I had to sneak in and that was when I heard you singing."
My head automatically bends a little, twisting my eyes so they face downwards. I haven't sung since him.
"Myra, can I speak to you for a minute?" I say tightly, carefully pushing myself off of the floor and striding out into the empty hallway.
