The choir girls who I barely recognize from math class nod vigorously. My heart gasps with a feeling somewhere between dread and anticipation. In preschool, I used to sing from the top of the playground watchtower because I knew everyone would be bewitched by it, and I sing in the bath all the time. But who am I kidding? Sophie grins. Stirred, Emma shakes her head to zone back in.
Sophie sings something from the Disney channel. Probably from Hannah Montana. Anyway, Sophie is singing and she is really good even though sometimes her pitch wobbles and she runs out of breath. This is going to be more competitive than I had thought. The choir girls smirk amongst themselves knowingly, as if they expected this, which I suppose they did.
Socks and gloves woven into translucence near the ends. Dainty socks and gloves. Opera gloves. And opera socks. This the moment everyone will understand what a beautiful and enigmatic person I am. My stomach turns. I pretend this is a good feeling. No one has heard of the song before. My parents are huge music buffs and over the course of my childhood I memorized hundreds of classic songs from their youth.
I finally started using Grooveshark in seventh grade, only to learn my taste had been corrupted and I could never fully embrace pop music. Yes, this makes me obnoxious. Emma looks the same as she always does. Just very misguided. I sing okay and they clap.
This is satisfactory. Maybe a little disappointing. Plus, they seem slightly unsettled by the lyrics. Anyone can learn how to sing. Yeah, actually, I am good at singing. I can work with that. Nobody looks surprised except me. You sing every day! Sophie gently offers an explanation.
My fingers fumble against the TV remote. Every time the cursor hovers over the letter I need, it slithers right past, like trying to catch a cockroach with a glass. Eventually, Sophie confiscates the machine and types the song herself. I only feel a bit humiliated by how little time it takes her. Once audible, her melody quakes like leaky faucet droplets plopping into water. Apps help us do so many extraordinary things that we can sometimes lose track of how much we use them.
