choir boys [ septiplier]

Solo show

< jacks POV >

Today it's the day that I will humiliate myself in front of all my new friends. I am not looking forward to it. I knew my grade would be low. Grade 4.... no grade 3 the Highest, I will never get anywhere as close as mark. He was an amazing singer. Last night I watched him sing and he was amazing. No wonder he was a grade 8, the average of the group what a 4-6 grade singing and there was no way I could reach the same as mark at singing. I don't mind being low, I wouldn't have any solos or I could sit in the back of the class, I wouldn't have an excuse to sing in my room so my dad could beat me up again, that is not what I am afraid of. It's the embarrassment of failing, failing my new friends, failing the choir, failing mark. That is what scares me the most. I arrived at the door of the choir room. I had my crappy guitar I bought for $5, I brought it to show that I need another to play on, it does help me sometimes but it is mostly broken because of my dad breaking it to annoy me. The strings are itchy and the wood could give anyone a splinter. Compare to marks shiny nice one, it looks like pile of shit on the floor.

I walked in and everyone was setting up of my fucking performance, I get that they haven't done this for ages and the last person to join before me was minx and that was 2 years ago ! They have been really looking forward to me joining and i really don't want to disappoint them all.

" hey jack, are you ready" I hear Felix asking, I look to mark who was setting up the microphone and I looked back at Felix who had a massive smile on his face.

" s-s-sure ..." I said and mark heard my stutter and looked over to me, I could feel marks brown chocolate eye piercing through my skin and I tried not to blush. But without of my control, mark walked over to me with his award winning smile .  " you'll do great, ok ?" He said and for the first time for a long time, I smiled back.

" hey jack, we are all set up for you, we just need to know if you are playing any instrument or a soundtrack with it." I heard minx shouted from the other side of the room. I blinked , remembering I am going to have to use this shitty guitar. " urmmm yes I am using a guitar," I shouted back, and minx gave me a short thumbs up and went back to what she was doing.

I looked back at Felix who was still staring at me. " woah, you can play a guitar, when did you learn that" Felix asked. " well, I was In a band in Ireland and i was the drummer but sometimes our guitarist wouldn't show up for shows of practice so I had to full in sometimes, someone else did the drums whilst I had to play the guitar." I explained and Felix got more excited. " you can play drums ??" He asked again and this time I just gave him a little nod before he walked off the marzia.

I felt a warm hand on my shoulder only to realize that it was mark. " hey, I brought you something," he said and he walked out the room, I was confused until he came back in With some behind his back. He showed me what it was and I gasped, it was his nice, acoustic guitar that I saw the other night. "I thing you should have it, i can never be able to play it so I figured that you could have it because I know you would take care of it." He said I am smiled, he handed me the guitar and I hugged him in the processed and whispered a sweet " thank you" before being called up onto the small stage for my performance.

< marks POV >

He whispered a small " thank you" in my ear which made my heart skip a beat. HE IS TOOO CUUTEEE. He walked up to the poorly constructed stade to we put up and sat down with his new guitar on his lap. He really deserves that guitar, it s better than that price of shit that he has. I thought to myself. Jack was someone that would protect anything than himself. He would even jump in front  of a bullet to save someone, even me. I am just glad no one wants to shoot me.

" ok jack, we are just going to assess your performance skills, projection skills and your singing skills overall. What song are you singing" Mattpat asked jack, who was scared shitless from performing. " fix you by Coldplay" he said, he projected himself more, k owing that he will be assessed by it, i was the same when i did mine, however, jacks self esteem issues are the worst I have ever seen. " ok then jack, take it away" mattpad said and jack started playing the guitar.

I was amazing on how good he was on the guitar, his rhythm and technique was amazing to listen to. The thing that blew everyone away was his singing.

His voice was magnificent.

His tone and expression was pure and silky and he pitch was perfect. He hit every note perfectly and his projection was amazing, it was like it wasn't the same person.

I looked around the room only to find everyone else gobsmacked of how amazing jacks voice was. You could still could hear his Irish accent but it was so smooth and textured, it was like he completely changed. He was going to get a very high score.

When he finished everyone was stunned at how amazing he was! Everyone clapped and cheered like there football team just won the championship. It was quite a sight o see. I looked at jack who was blushing of embarrassment and he looked at me. I smiled a really big grin and clapped along with the others causing him to blush even more. Then I looked at matât who was looking confused on his board. After awhile everyone looked at Matpat because he was the only one not cheering, he looked back up at jack and back to his board many times. " what's wrong" bob asked eventually, matpat finally smiled and walked up to jack.

" according to the numbers of the grade sheet ? You have achieved a grade.... 10 !" Mat pat shouted holding out his hands for half to shake. Jack was shocked and so was everyone else, no one in anyone other choir got a grade 10 straight away !! This was huge. I looked at jack who looked like he was about to faint. Everyone ran up to jack hugging him and congratulating him. He couldn't speak a word and just let them Praise him. I looked at matpat who was staring at me.

" so, how does it feel to no longer be the top singer" matpat asked being a little cocky for no reason. " hey, jack deserves it !! He is amazing !!" I sad looking at him happily. And he smiled back.

" there's only one problem, mark" he said to me in a sad tone looking back at jack. "What is wrong?" I asked. Matpat sighed. "His confidence, it's lacking. You need to show him that he is amazing, give him the confidence to perform and then he will be more amazing, can you do that for me ?" Matpat asked in a scared tone, it was true, jack believes that he is terrible at singing when he is actually the best one here. " I will try my best " I said in all seriousness. He was so small and I couldn't help but protect him. He needs to believe in himself again, and I am going to fix him.
