Voice Lessons

song above will be mentioned later. Please listen to it. I love this song so much.

Chapter 3

Your pov

I walked into Special Voice Lessons with Shawn. Since PCSA was a School of the Arts, we had 2 elective intensive Arts classes, which took up an entire afternoon. I took Drama on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Voice on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

Shawn took Voice Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and Guitar Tuesday, and Wednesday.

Since Shawn and I were both professionals, we had a special class, apart from the other kids. It used to be just me, but now that Shawn goes here, we have a class together, and it won't be so awkward for me.

Shawn and I had just finished lunch together, which was great, and not so great at the same time.

Shawn and I understood each other. I had never talked to some one as much as Shawn, except the directors for my movies and musicals. I was so shy that I'd never really had a friend before, and I think he was on his way to becoming my first real friend. We got along well, and we had barely just met each other.

The bad thing was though, that with both me and Shawn, there were twice as many fans crowding around our table in the cafeteria. Usually, I would just eat my lunch in the girls bathroom, but Shawn can't go in there, because he's not a girl. So we just signed pictures and doing fan stuff all lunch long, and I could barely catch a bite to eat.

Anyway, so, we walked into voice lessons, one of my favorite classes since I was little.

"Hi guys!" Miss Laura said.

She's the coolest, awesomest, bestest teacher in the entire school, and yes, I know that bestest and awesomest aren't words, but she's that cool. She and I are pretty close, since I had a class alone with her for 5 years.

"Hey Shawn. Thanks for joining us. We used to be the smallest class in the whole school. Now Y/n's Drama class is instead."

I laughed.

"And my Guitar Lessons." Shawn added.

"Well. Umm. Welcome to our small little class. We've been working on Y/n's song that she's doing for her audition next month. You want to hear it."

"Sure." He said, smiling.

"Let's warm up first." Miss Laura suggested.

Shawn's pov (bet you weren't expecting that)

We ran through our scales really quickly, and did some fast warm ups.

"Ok." Miss Laura said, "Ready Y/n."

She nodded.

"This is Waving through a Window, from the 'Musical Dear Evan Hansen'."

Mrs Laura went over to the piano, and started playing a slow, kind of sad tune.

Y/n took a deep breath, and started to sing a song.

I've learned to slam on the brake
Before I even turn the key
Before I make the mistake
Before I lead with the worst of me

Give them no reason to stare
No slipping up if you slip away
So I got nothing to share
No, I got nothing to say

Step out, step out of the sun
If you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun
Because you've learned, because you've learned

On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
I'm waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
I'm waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving back at me?

We start with stars in our eyes
We start believing that we belong
But every sun doesn't rise
And no one tells you where you went wrong

Step out, step out of the sun
If you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun
Because you've learned, because you've learned

On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
Waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
Waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving?

When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
Did I even make a sound?
Did I even make a sound?
It's like I never made a sound
Will I ever make a sound?

On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
Waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
Waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving back at me? (oh)

Is anybody waving?
Waving, waving, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

I clapped.

"Bravo! Bravo!"

Y/n took a bow.

"Thank you! Thank you!" She joked around, "Oh stop. You're too kind!"

"That was great!"

And I meant it. Her voice was so damn perfect. It sounded even better in real life than it did in movies and on recordings. It was so full of emotion. I could almost feel the world of Evan. I felt that he was never noticed. I felt his pain. I felt like I couldn't bring myself to say a word. I felt lost. Wow. Just wow. I was so blown away.

Miss Laura told her she was flat on a note, so she practiced that little part a little bit.

"Do you wanna try, Shawn?" y/n asked.

"Umm..." I didn't know the words or the tune. How was I supposed to sing it?

"Come on." She giggled, "I'll teach it to you!"

I sighed. I couldn't say no to her.

"Fine."

She handed me a couple pages of sheet music, and I read through it.

We marked it, and then, we got ready to do the real thing.

Miss Laura's pov (You definitely did not see that coming)

I sat down at the piano and played the intro.

After that, Shawn and Y/n came in.

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!! It was like heaven on earth. Their voices were so perfect together.

It was so beautiful. I almost forgot to play the notes. Wow. This was crazy. These guys should team up one day. I can't describe it. I felt kind of warm and good inside, but at the same time I felt a sadness. The sadness of Evan as he tried to fit in.

On the last verse, they had to sing a cappella, because I couldn't think well enough to play any notes.

By the time they finished, I was actually crying.

"Wow."
