Backslide Intervention
A hand waved in front of Beca's face as she tried to stop herself from staring blankly at the senior who was a few mere meters away. She had been caught staring only once; and thank goodness it was just Jesse who saw.
"Nice move, Mitchell," Chloe said with a hint of frustration in her voice. "I only get to see my friends once or twice in a month and you act like you're not even interested in my stories."
"Well, the Medical College of Georgia is in Georgia so we're all practically neighbors. We bumped into each other last week, didn't we?" Beca replied, "Clingy Chloe," she managed to say in between snickers.
"I'm clingy? You're just too busy staring into space. I mean what are y-" she cut herself off as soon as she noticed Beca spacing out on her again. Thinking that using words would be futile; Chloe traced the direction to where the DJ's eyes wandered.
Beca was taken by surprise when Chloe screeched the f-bomb with a clenched jaw.
"Now she hears me," Chloe thought to herself while trying to recover from an irregular heartbeat caused by her discovery.
Beca, knowing that Chloe hardly ever swore, looked at her friend in confusion.
"I said duck," Chloe declared as she swung her left arm behind Beca's head, hitting her in the process.
"Chloe! What gives?" Beca demanded. Perplexity, exasperation, and annoyance hit her all at once which caused her voice to come out louder than expected.
"You have no idea what you're getting yourself into, Mitchell."
"Elaborate, then! What the hell, Chloe?"
Chloe's angered expression lightened, as it would whenever she was about to say the reason behind her rage.
"Why are you staring at Luke, Beca? What's going on?" She asked with a passive and beat look on her face.
Beca knew she couldn't deny it since the only thing behind Luke that she could've stared at was a filthy trash can – and Chloe knew her well enough to say that trash cans really didn't pick her interest.
"What? I.. well he's.." Beca tripped on her own words after finally speaking one whole sentence. "What's it to you anyway?" she asked.
"He's my ex, Beca," Chloe enounced in a swift statement.
"Your ex."
