A/N: Heeeey, go me, three updates in three days XD
Chapter 10
"I'm telling you, we're all going to die. Kevin might seem like the nicest guy ever, and then there's the no swearing thing, but he cares way, way too much about school for this to have ever been a good idea." Avi says talking towards, Mitch and Esther who were to his left while Kirstie and Scott were on his right. They were all over at Avi and Kevin's apartment, waiting for Kevin to come back to break the news to him.
"So I see what you're saying, we need to learn all the songs without the beatboxing," Mitch raises a bored eyebrow.
"Yeah but we can't do that, we need to talk him into coming with us, we're not Pentatonix without him!" Scott panics.
"Calm down, I'll talk to him," Esther says. "I'll hand him this nicely organised schedule," she smiles down at it before she looks back up at them, "And I'll calmly talk to him, he'll appreciate that," she nods.
Avi breaks into a smile that he tries to hide, having to lift his hand up to cover his mouth.
"What's so funny?" Mitch asks Avi. Who just shakes his head.
Avi waves him off, "Don't worry about it."
"Tell me later," Kirstie whispers as she takes his hand in hers, resting it on her leg right before the door to the apartment opened.
Kevin stops short in the doorway, staring at all of them, "What's going on here? I'm pretty sure I don't need an intervention of any sort," he chuckles nervously.
"No but you might after you murder Esther," Scott says with a sheepish smile.
"HA!" Avi yells out as he starts laughing, making the other four jump, but Kevin casts him a glare. "Shutting up," Avi nods slowly, looking down with a smirk on his face.
"Why would I murder Esther?" Kevin asks as he shuts the door behind him.
"Because she's finished the touring schedule," Kirstie says slowly.
"Oh no, is it a couple days longer than we thought?" he asks with a sigh.
"Esther, you're about to break his heart," Avi says, with the same smile plastered on his face.
"I want to be here for this, but at the same time I don't think I could handle the snap," Mitch says as he leans forward in his seat a little.
"What are they talking about?" Kevin asks, his voice quickening, with worry starting to set in.
Esther stands up, "Kevin, a couple of days is an understatement," she hands him the schedule, and the other four band members watch on for his reaction as he reads over it.
"November!" His head snaps up, "This is a joke right? You can't be serious, we can't do this, there is no way!"
"Sorry Kev, no joke, this is the schedule," Esther says as she clasps her hands together nervously. "The last week of requests really blew it out, it's insane but…"
"This is- we can't miss this much class, this," he jabs the schedule, " This is bull…" his voice lowers, but they all hear what he says, "shit."
"That's the snap!" Avi jumps up from his spot, "Kevin swore! Kevin swore!" he exclaims practically jumping around until Kirstie pulls him back down onto the couch.
"We know he did babe," she laughs a little.
"I'm never letting you live this down Kevin," he smirks.
"Avi please shut up, I'm in no mood for jokes," Kevin sighs. "How is allowed to get this long, the school has to have a cut-off point right? What about our studies. This is my last year Esther, I am not okay with this!"
"Kevin I know you're not hon, but this is it, there's no loopholes, I checked. You have to perform for every school that makes the booking. And I promise you that I have squeezed this thing as tight as I can. Also as long as it's not during a performance we can stop and you can skype into class, there might be a couple of occasions where you can't, like when we're Arizona. But I promise you will have time to keep up with everything, okay," she nods once hoping she'd said what he needed to hear.
"Why do so many schools want to see us?" Kevin asks as he pulls out a chair from the small dining table.
"Obviously because we're awesome," Scott smiles.
"Oh by the way, I looked into that rule, we have it hold auditions if we want to be able to compete," Avi speaks up.
"Fuck," Scott drops his head into his hands.
"What kind of screw-ball rule is that?" Mitch asks with a disgusted look on his face.
"One that me and Avi talked about the other week, Hunter brought it to our attention. I hate it when that piece of crap is right," he rolls his eyes, leaning back in the arm chair he was sat in.
"Why were you talking to Hunter?" Kirstie turns to Avi.
"He came to me; he wanted to recruit me and Kevin for the Warblers. But it doesn't matter because there was never a chance in hell it was going to happen."
"Is that why you didn't tell me then?" Kirstie raises an eyebrow.
"I didn't tell you because it wasn't important," Avi shrugs before he stands up to avoid Kirstie's glare. "It's food time anyway, you guys want to order something?" he asks.
"What about Chinese?" Scott suggests.
"Oh Pizza!" Mitch chimes in.
"Nope, not Pizza, not after what happened last time," Kevin speaks up, and gets up to follow Scott and Mitch as they walk into the kitchen after Avi.
"What happened last time?" Esther asks Kirstie.
"Mitch ordered vegetarian and Avi threw it at him. Long story short there ended up being pizza everywhere and we had to order Chinese, because we can't think of anything else."
"I'm pretty sure there's a Mexican place that delivers," Esther suggests with a shrug.
Kirstie shoots up, "Guys shut up!" she yells over at them, "Mexican's on the table!" she says before running over to them.
And the loud debating started again.
A/N: And so they'll be leaving for tour in the next chapter then we get into the really good Kavi stuff, and we'll retouch on Scomiche, I'm basically saying it's gonna get way better since I'd always planned to have majority of the story take place while they were on tour. I hope you guys enjoy what I have to come!
