"I don't wanna go!" A little girl with long brown hair screamed, hanging onto her mother's leg for dear life.
"Beca, let go! It's your first day of school, you'll make friends! The Posen's little girl, Aubrey, will be there! You know her," her mother tried to convince her, but the 5 year old was having none of it.
"But she's mean to me mommy!"
"Beca, I swear if you don't let go right now I will march you into that classroom," her mother warned, making Beca slowly shrink away, sniffling.
"Now take my hand, we're going inside."
Beca scowled, looking as dangerous as a five year could possibly look whilst crossing her arms and digging her heels into playground floor.
"Rebecca Louise Mitchell!"
"I'm not going!"
"Right, that's it." Rowan picked her daughter up and stomped to the classroom, all the while the poor child screamed and flailed her arms. Setting her down on the floor, Rowan ignored the glare her daughter was giving her and knocked on the bright red door, which had a plate indicating it was classroom 7.
A teacher, wearing her long blonde hair in a side ponytail, opened the door with a bright smile.
"You must be Miss Mitchell! I'm Miss Abby,"
Rowan smiled at her, holding Beca firmly by the shoulders stop her from running away. "Please, call me Rowan,"
"And who might this be?" Abby asked, bending down to the little girl's level whilst feigning innocence, as she knew far too well who the girl in question was.
Beca muttered something incomprehensible, looking down at her shoes.
"I'm sorry? I didn't quite catch that,"
"Beca," She said louder, fidgeting with her hands as she stared into the welcoming face of her new teacher.
"Oh, that's a lovely name, Beca, I'm Miss Abby and I'll be your teacher this year. Why don't you come with me, I have the perfect table waiting for you," Abby said warmly, extending her hand for the little girl.
Beca only shook her head shyly, stepping back to hide behind her mother.
"Oh, go on, Beca, it will only be for a few hours," Rowan said, slowly manoeuvring her daughter from behind her legs.
Beca looked up at her mother with an unmistakeable frown, one saying that she wasn't at all happy with her, before reluctantly taking the hand of her teacher.
"There you go! I'll be back at one, okay? Have fun sweetie," Rowan said, bending down to kiss her forehead. Beca said nothing, only scowled as Rowan muttered a short apology to the blonde before walking away.
"So, Beca, how old are you?"
"Five." Beca replied, holding up six fingers.
Abby chuckled. "That's six, dear,"
"No it isn't! The thumb isn't a finger!" Beca argued indignantly, quite proud that she knew such information.
Abby raised her eyebrows, but nodded in agreement. She had quite a smart little girl on her hands. "You're absolutely right, Beca. Now, I have the perfect space for you. Come on,"
Beca allowed herself to be dragged to a green table. Sitting at it were three other little girls; a tall blonde (who Beca almost immediately recognised as Aubrey, her neighbour, especially after she glared at her), another tall girl was sitting next to her, but she was a brunette. And a redhead. A redhead with strikingly blue eyes. There was an empty seat next to the redheaded girl Beca had dubbed 'Red', for the time being, where she supposed she would be sitting.
"Beca, this is your seat. Class doesn't start for another six minutes, so feel free to sit down and chat, okay?"
Beca nodded, taking her seat next to Red with a slight sigh. As soon as Abby walked away to another table, where a chubby blonde with an accent Beca couldn't quite place was poking a boy with brown hair, Red turned to Beca with a bright smile, her bluer-than-blue eyes sparkling.
"Hi, I'm Chloe!" Red ('Chloe.' Beca thought, 'not Red.') Announced excitedly, already bounding in her seat.
Beca thought she looked nice, but she was far too bubbly at first glance.
"I'm Beca." She replied shyly,
"Are you new?"
Beca thought this was a rather stupid question, as it was far too obvious that she was new, but she nodded anyway.
"Do you know anyone?" Chloe asked.
Beca nodded, looking towards Aubrey. "I know Aubrey,"
Aubrey only frowned back at her, narrowing her eyes briefly before going back to the book she was reading.
"Me and Aubrey are best friends!" Chloe said, eager to share the information as she shot a smile to the blonde, who smiled back. "Do you know anyone else?"
Beca briefly looked around the room, the only familiar face was a brown haired boy who had smiled at her through a car window. She hadn't smiled back.
"No."
"Let me introduce you!" Chloe bubbled, jumping up and grabbing Beca's arm to pull her to the other end of the table.
"This is Stacie,"
Stacie briefly smiled, before going back to inspecting her nails, which had been coloured in with…crayons? Felt tips? Beca wasn't exactly sure. Chloe dragged the small girl off to the next table.
"This is Lilly, she's quiet. Lilly this is Beca,"
Lilly whispered something barely audible. Beca smiled slightly at her, but the girl didn't smile back, only stared with wide eyes. She looked like a porcelain doll.
Beca found her creepy.
"This is Ci…Cynf…Cynthia Rose," Chloe said, struggling with pronunciation of her name.
Beca looked at her. She had pink and black hair. She looked quite cool, so Beca allowed her a smile and a small wave. Cynthia Rose nodded back, leaning onto her char.
"This is Jessica and Ashley. They're best friends," Red ('Chloe!') explained.
Beca blinked. She had no idea which was which, but they were both smiling identically at her, even saying hello at the small time. Beca smiled anyway, before letting herself get steered to the next table.
"This is Amy. She's from Australia,"
"You're short! I'm calling you shorty!" Amy announced loudly.
Beca didn't appreciate the sudden nickname, and glared at the blonde, who grinned back.
"That's Bumper," Chloe said, pointing to the short boy Beca had seen fighting with Amy earlier. She then turned to Beca and whispered, "He's kind of mean to me and Aubrey,"
Somehow affected by this new piece of information, Beca narrowed her eyes at him. He must act just like his name suggests; like the rear end of a car.
"This is Jesse,"
"I know you!" Jesse said with a toothy grin, pointing at Beca.
"No you don't, he doesn't," Beca confirmed, shaking her head. She really didn't want to be associated with anyone in this classroom, it was bad enough she already knew Aubrey.
"I do! I smiled at you on my way to school,"
"That doesn't count. Knowing me would be knowing my name, at least," Beca said with a roll of her eyes.
"Um, this is Benji…" Chloe said, trying to move along as they only had a minute left.
The curly haired boy pulled out a deck of card and started shuffling with an excited grin on his face. Beca didn't like magic, but she grinned back anyway; Benji seemed nice enough.
"Settle down, everyone, settle down," Miss Abby said, standing up in front of the whiteboard.
Beca and Chloe ran to their seats. Well, Chloe ran, Beca just walked quickly. Miss Abby started to talk, but Beca quickly zoned out. Instead she looked around at her new classmates. They all seemed nice enough, except for that Bumper kid. And Lilly was creepy. And Aubrey was mean. She looked at the redhead next to her, who was listening intently with a wide smile on her face. The smile must be permanently etched onto her face, because nobody else was smiling. She was bubbly and happy, and her eyes were a baby blue. Too blue, almost. But she was cute, pretty even.
Beca liked her.
A/N: So that was kind of like a little filler chapter, introducing you all to the characters. The real fun will start in the next chapter haha! So this is basically a collection of oneshots of the pitch perfect characters as 12 and under, friendship, humour and romance(?) I'll probably include some cute little Bechloe or Staubrey in there at some point ;:)
ANYWAYS so I hope you liked that chapter, I must admit it wasn't thank thrilling haha, but the next few definitely will be! Leave a review if you like the idea?
It's not like a literal prompts fanfic, but I will take them if you want :)
