Beca Mitchell was always known as a loner, the dark mysterious kid that stuck to herself never letting anybody in to her little world, no one could keep track of the bruises she always had on her body, especially her face, a new black eye seemed to appear every few weeks, it had teachers concerned but not enough to say anything to the dark teen.
What no one knew was that Beca was actually training as a boxer, spending most of her time after school in the ring, punching it out with trainers or in actually fights, Beca won more than she lost these days, which seemed to surprise a lot of the people around her in the boxing community, but even here she was a quiet girl, not one to talk as much as the others.
Sadly what people didn't know was that Beca was doing this to help her mother out, you see she comes from a broken family, her father leaving when she was only 10, now at the ripe age of 18 Beca's mom still works her ass off to help support Beca, some weeks are harder then others, this is the reason Beca started fighting, to make a lot of money fast to help her mom relax more and stop worrying. Beca has had a few fights since she started all seemed to be pretty tame, but from what she hears her next opponent will be a challenge, learning from her coach that the girl that she was up against had something to prove and was a lot more stronger the the small brunette, that took her back a bit but Beca tried not to think about it for the rest of the week, opting to just train to keep her mind off of it.
Getting out of her car that she had just parked at school Beca grabs her back pack and heads towards the entrance, sunglasses covering her tired eyes and slowly healing black eye, her dark eyes scanning the lot as she strolls around the cars, she was almost at the entrance when Tom the school quarterback pulled her bag back with force, making Beca trip and fal onto her ass, she scowls at him as she gets up, their eyes locked in annoyance.
"Fuck off Tom" the small girl warns as she dusts her pants, today was not the day to start anything with her, she had to much to worry about then Tom the jerk.
"Oh I'm sorry Beca am I bothering you?" He says as he walks towards her, practically nose to nose as he looks down at her, stupid smirk on his very punchable face, you could hear his buddies cheering him on only causing his smirk to widen into a grin,
"I said fuck off Tomas" Beca warns again gently pushing him back, trying her hardest not to punch him in his face. From the side of her she can hear light but fast foot steps towards them,
"What are you gonna do huh?" He pokes her chest, "huh?" He pokes again making Beca grit her teeth,
"Tom stop it" a girl says from behind him, Beca recognises the voice, making her insides twist in knots, before Beca knew it the girl appears on her left grabbing onto Toms arm, eyes flicking between Beca and the jock, Beca can't help but smirk at this, and admire the beautiful girl, wild red locks, piercing blue eyes, she was stunning, it actually made Beca feel all weird inside, nothing changed there.
"Yea Tomas listen to Red over here stop it or you're going to regret it" as the words left Beca's mouth Tom pushes the cute redhead away roughly causing her to fall backwards, for some reason that caused Beca's blood to boil and before she knows it her fist has connected to Toms jaw, knocking him back.
He stumbles back looking at her with crazy eyes as he clutches his jaw,
"Your dead Mitchell" he says as he pounces towards the small girl, fist just missing Beca's jaw as she gently pushes his hand away, she then knees him in the stomach causing him to fall to his knees, by now he was fuming, if this was a carton you would probably see steam coming from his ears. He gets up and goes at Beca again, this time punching her shoulder, this caused the redhead to scream and grab the angry boy, he practically threw her to the side in anger as he goes for Beca's face, which she blocked again before connecting her fist to his face once more, causing the boy to fall to the floor, she smirks at this as she stalks over to him.
"I told you to fuck off Tomas" she quirks her eyebrow up as she laughs down at him, and before you know it she was on her back, Tom had pulled her leg from under her, and was now trying to pound into her face as he sits over her, he landed a few before teachers had finally gotten involved, tom being dragged off of Beca's small body.
In the nurses office Beca was being scolded by nurse Jenny as she sits on the bench as the older woman attends to the cut on her cheek,
"This is the second one this week Beca and it's only Wednesday!" She practically shouts, she's worried about the younger girl, every since Beca started getting into fights the two got closer, the nurse taking over the motherly role in Becas life. Beca smiles softly as the older woman stares into her eyes, she grabs Jenny's hands gently,
"I'm sorry I tried to stop Jen it's when he treated Chloe like nothing...that's when I lost it, I'm really sorry Jen" the nurse could see how much Beca meant it, she then decided to let the subject go, the two then sat in silence as the older woman finished up with Beca.

The day went on as usual, Beca going to classes late doing her work in silence, being scolded by Fat Amy and Stacey as they worried about the added bruises to the brunettes face, but in Mitchell fashion it was brushed off just like the rest of the school day.
When the last bell off the day signalled Beca practically zoomed out of the room to her dark blue Truck, but when she was getting closer to her car she noticed the girl from the fight, leaning against it nervously as she watched Beca getting closer. Beca was a few meters away before the older redhead beamed her beautiful smile the brunettes way.
"Hey Beca!" She said, her soft voice sending chills down the younger girls spine, Beca looked at her with a smirk,
"What are you doing Chloe" crossing her arms as she leans agains her car, looking at the senior with a pointed but mischievous look,
"I just wanted to thank you for this morning, Toms an ass and I'm sorry you had to deal with him" Chloe reaches out to place her hand on Beca's bicep as she talks, the smaller girl tenses but quickly feels herself unwillingly relax at the touch,
"Red it's fine he really shouldn't talk to a pretty lady like that" Chloe giggles at this, her hand going up to cover her mouth as a small blush covers her tanned cheeks, "especially if it's you" she looks directly at Beca as the words left the brunettes lips, shock seemed to go over her but she soon recovered and Beamed at Beca once again.
With out thinking Chloe reached up to cup Becas cheek, her fingers gently touching the bruised area,
"Why are you with him Chlo" the red head looks away, tears threatening to spill out, Beca takes this time to take her hand in hers, "you deserve a lot better then him" and with that Beca squeezed her hand gently before opening her cars passenger door.
Chloe looked over to Beca, her sad eyes piercing through the brunettes,
"You want a lift?" Beca can't help but smile when Chloe nods shyly before getting in the car, a small thank you was heard before Beca closed the door and headed for the drivers side.
