Ariel: Chapter 2
My mind was racing. We'd been given free time in first hour and Eric sits right behind me. I could've easily turned around and started a conversation. I could've taken Aurora's advice and just said hi. But my throat was tight and dry. I don't think I could've talk if I had tried. I felt a light tap on my shoulder and my whole body froze up.
"Excuse me," Eric said. I turned to him. He smiled at me and said, "It's Ariel right?" I nodded quickly, still unsure of my voice.
"I'm Eric," he said, "um, I was just wondering if you could help me with something." I nodded again and I knew I probably looked crazy. "Well, I, huh, sometimes stand outside the choir room and I've noticed that you're in choir. There's this voice, that stands out to me. It's so pretty. I just want to get to know the person who's singing. So I was wondering if you could get it so I could hear each singer on their own. So I would know," he said.
I nodded to let him know I'd help him out. His smile grew big.
"Thanks so much, Ariel. You have no clue how much this means to me," Eric said. I gave a smile then turned back around in my seat. I felt my heart sinking in my chest. He probably had a crush on whoever it was singing in the choir room and he seemed pretty convinced it wasn't me. I mean, why would he? He probably thought I was quiet in choir, too quiet for it to me that was the voice that stood out to him.
