"Alright nerds, let's go with 'Paradise' by Coldplay" Beca chuckled as she crossed her arms and rested back in her chair. This audition was going to be interesting to say the least. As the first potential made their way on stage, she prayed they wouldn't turn one of her favourite songs (not that she'd admit that to anyone), into garbage.
A young, blonde girl no taller than Beca stood at the centre of the stage with a nervous smile on her face. Looking into the audience, she eyed Beca, the rest of the Bella's and their ICCA Nationals trophy that was perched proudly on the table. She took a deep shaky breath before she started to sing the back beat. It was a complex song and she was struggling to keep the beat up. The young girl started singing the first verse and Beca wasn't blown away. She wasn't bad but she was no Aubrey or Chloe which is who Beca was trying to replace. There were at least 20 signed up for auditions so the new leader of the Bellas wasn't giving up hope just yet.
"Psst Shawshank" Fat Amy whispered as the young girl finished up a pale red headed boy took the stage ready to audition for the Trebles. Putting the read head and his screechy voice to the back of her mind, Beca turned to her friend "I've been meaning to ask you, what's going to happen to the Bella's oath now?"
"Can we talk about this later?"
"There's four more Treble nerds to go before our next one, this is important. Baby stealing dingo kind of important"
"Dingo baby what?" Beca fumbled confused as to what the hell Amy was talking about. She loved the Australian but was perplexed by just about everything she said. Just to stop Amy explaining what her last sentence meant in more slang Beca didn't understand, the brunette caved "What were you saying about the oath?"
"Will we have to change it now?"
"Why?"
"Now that you're getting Treble-boned by Popcorn boy over there, you're breaking Aubrey's number one rule"
"Oh my god" Beca sighed not realising how loudly until everyone in the auditorium was looking at her curiously. Another Treble hopeful had just finished his audition and Beca's outburst filled the silence before the next performer. As her cheeks flushed with colour, the sophomore slunk down in her seat as the auditions continued. Ignoring Amy's persistence on the subject, Beca tried her best to focus on the singers wanting to be a part of their acapella groups.
"Psst Shawshank, how is he in bed anyway?"
Beca groaned softly wishing Amy had a filter. Looking back toward the boy in question, she gave him a shy smile before turning back to the stage. Now that another girl walked on wanting to audition for the Bella's, all thoughts of the movie loving dork had to be pushed aside.
As the auditions continued, the Barden Bella's, Treblemakers and BU Harmonics all found talent they could take into their respective groups. Jesse and Benji, the two newest captains of the Trebles found three perfect guys to take over the empty spaces left behind by Donald, Bumper and Tim. Beca on the other hand picked three herself that weren't quite like what they'd lost but had potential. This was a new year and a new era for the Bella's so the new leader of the group had to be uncharacteristically optimistic.
"Can we talk about the crocodile in the room now, please?" Fat Amy insisted as the auditions came to a close and everyone was shuffling out of the auditorium. Heading to a diner just off campus, the Bella's needed to discuss who they'd picked and how to perform the initiation. Beca was determined not to have quite as many candles as Aubrey had the year before.
"Crocodile, what?" Stacie asked as she caught up to Beca and Amy. Like their leader, she too never quite understood what the Australian was talking about.
"The oath"
"Yeah and?"
"Are we going to change the oath now that Flatbutt over here is letting a Treble penetrate her?" the Australian asked curiously as she stopped the group "I just don't want Beca's vocal chords to be ripped out by wolves because we kinda need her to beat those Treble losers again"
"Ok one, that's not a good enough reason to use the word 'penetrate'" Beca began and wasn't surprised that she was backed by the rest of the group except for of course Amy and Stacie.
"There is never a good enough reason to use the word 'penetrate'" Jessica commented.
"Well…" Stacie smirked as she pointed toward her crotch. Amy agreed with a thrust of her hips that only caused Beca to vocalise her distaste once again for that word.
"And two, I clearly still have my vocal chords" she chuckled before trailing off hoping the group wouldn't hear the end of her sentence "Because I haven't broken the oath…"
"You haven't slept with Jesse yet?" Stacie and Fat Amy exclaimed loudly. The few people walking past on their way back to their dorms stopped to stare.
"Could you have said that any louder? China didn't hear you" Beca snapped as she pushed past her friends and began walking for the diner with Lily and Cynthia Rose. At least they weren't shouting about her sex life or lack thereof so the whole university could hear. Stacie and Fat Amy caught up as they reached the diner and while hesitant, they joined the quiet group at their usual table.
Stacie shifted in her seat as she looked across at Beca. The brunette was just itching to ask the big question "It's been six months since you kissed him at the ICCA's"
"Not everyone jumps into bed quite as fast as you do Stace" Beca growled knowing she'd dealt a low blow. They all knew Stacie liked to have a lot of sex but it wasn't something she shouted from the rooftops. She wasn't ashamed exactly, just not very vocal about it. "Sorry" the Bella's leader sighed softly after she'd rendered the entire table speechless.
"No, it's ok. I like sex, it's no secret. We were just curious because isn't one of the reasons we're here is to discuss aca-initiation and in turn the oath?"
Beca sighed softly knowing her fellow Bella had a point.
When it came to Beca's relationship it wasn't that she and Jesse didn't want to, it was a matter of timing. After ICCA Nationals earlier that year, there were only a few weeks until they all went their separate ways for the summer. While busy with finals, the radio station and packing their stuff to take home, Beca and Jesse tried to find as much time together as possible. Jesse was still determined to continue his girlfriend's movication now that her protests had become few and far between. That may have been because they tended to get preoccupied with other things by the end. When summer came the pair made use of Skype and texting. Jesse went back to Orlando to his family while Beca flew home to Chicago to spend time with her Mom. Coming back to Georgia a few weeks early to see her Dad, Beca was thankful that Jesse was a little eager to get back himself.
They had tried to be intimate but Sheila the Step-Monster and even Benji had horrible timing.
"I'll amend the oath" Beca finally spoke up knowing she was going to break Aubrey's rule eventually "Trebles aren't off limits, just be careful and Stacie? All I ask is one Treble at a time"
"I make no promises" Stacie smirked and once again made a gesture toward her crotch. Shaking her head, Beca just smiled. As much as her friends annoyed her sometimes she loved them all the same. The girls chatted away as the waitress came and took their orders. No-one strayed from their usual orders they had been having after every Bella rehearsal last year. Once they were settled with their drinks, Beca tapped her glass of coke with a spoon to get everyone's attention. Before the drama about the oath came up, she had planned to make a special announcement.
"I have some pretty amazing news regarding the Bella's" Beca began as everyone turned their attention to her "I was called into the Dean's office today"
"Oh no!" Fat Amy gasped "You getting kicked out of school is not amazing news for the Bella's. It would be disastrous like Aubrey puking on stage kind of disastrous"
"I'm not getting kicked out of school" Beca chuckled but Fat Amy continued to rhyme off how bad it would be to lose their leader and friend. After a rather obscene comment about a red-headed woman as Prime Minister, Beca repeated herself a little louder as to stop Fat Amy's rant. "I'm not going anywhere, I promise" she chuckled even though it was nice to hear how much Amy would miss her if she had left. "I was called into see the Dean today because Barden University, in honour of us winning the ICCA's, have given us our own Barden Bella's house".
The excitement from all eight girls sitting at that table was deafening. They were all amazed at the generosity of the university after their win. Dean Hammond was proud of their achievement and wasn't complaining about the recognition the school got for being home to the first all-girl acapella group to win the ICCA Nationals. As the Treblemakers newest neighbours, the Bella's had a brand new, just been built house ready for them.
"The freshmen Bella's won't be able to join us but they'll be able to enjoy the rehearsal room, fireplace, spa and flat screen big enough to rival a movie theatre whenever they like"
The girls continued to talk excitedly about their new house and how great it was going to be. Stacie coughed loudly to break through the chatter "One question, how many rooms does it have because I pity anyone who has to bunk with me. My roommate last year switched rooms three weeks in. Apparently the sex was distracting her from her assignments"
"I'm surprised she lasted that long" Jessica commented softly with a laugh.
"No-one has to bunk with anyone. We all get our own rooms" Beca smiled as the entire group erupted once again with excited banter. Their food was delivered a few minutes later but that couldn't damper the conversation. Beca gave them all the details of the house from the location to the design and that they could move in tomorrow.
To Jesse: Free tonight to celebrate my last night in the dorms? We can torture Kimmy Jin one last time with as many movies we can stay awake for.
To Beca: Last night? What are you talking about? Where are you going?
To Jesse: Just meet me at my dorm at 8.
To Beca: You're not going to tell me what this is about? I'm worried.
To Beca: Beca please.
To Beca: Beca!
To Jesse: Trust me, nerd
"Do these bedroom doors have locks because I don't want to be walking in on you doing the crocodile with two backs with Popcorn boy" Fat Amy chuckled as she watched Beca's smile grow with every beep of her phone.
"Oh my god, why am I friends with you?"
"Because you would be lost without my sexy, fat ass"
The brunette sighed softly knowing Fat Amy was right. If it wasn't for those girls she wouldn't have had such an amazing freshman year at Barden. It was the seven girls sitting beside her that made her realise that dreams can change. She still wanted to move to LA and become a music producer but she could see the benefit of getting a college education beforehand. Barden had a great music program and being involved with the Bella's would only help her later in her career.
The Bella's parted ways a short time later after discussing who from the auditions they liked and whether they approved Beca's first choices. They brainstormed ideas for aca-initiation with their leader determined not to use as many candles as her predecessor. Beca shot down any idea Fat Amy had that involved importing native Australian animals and any idea Cynthia Rose had that involved the new members stripping down to their underwear. With a couple days before aca-initiation, they were able to think about the few options they'd come up with.
Beca made her way back to her dorm to set up for her night with Jesse. With plans to move all her stuff into the new Bella house the next day, she wanted to leave a lasting memory for Kimmy Jin. The young Korean was far from happy when she opened the door to see the 'white girl' again. Their RA from the previous school year had never had any complaints so he didn't see why they couldn't room together again.
Rounding the corner toward her dorm, Beca laughed at the sight of Jesse sitting outside her door. It was still half an hour before he was meant to be there but the anxious expression couldn't be wiped from his face. Fearing Beca was leaving to go to LA like she'd always dreamed, Jesse was ready to talk her out of it. "How long have you been sitting there?" she chuckled as she held her hand out to help her boyfriend to his feet.
"Uhm about 45 minutes, just about as soon as you texted" he chuckled with a weak smile "I knocked but Kimmy Jin wouldn't let me in"
"It's a good thing you won't have to deal with her anymore"
"Can you just tell me what the hell is going on, please tell me you're not going to LA"
"What is it with everyone jumping to conclusions tonight?" the young brunette chuckled softly as she took her boyfriend's hands gently. As she told his about the new Barden Bella's house, Beca could see the relief wash over him. Breathing a lot easier, he couldn't be happier for all the Bella's. He definitely wasn't going to complain about having Beca across the street with her own room. "Now will you join me in torturing Kimmy Jin just once more for old time's sake?"
"With pleasure" he chuckled and pressed a quick kiss to his girlfriend's temple before she opened the door to her dorm.
The pair entered to find Kimmy Jin and a few of her friends playing videos games. The best vantage point was sitting on Beca's bed and didn't look like they were going to move any time soon.
"Uh, can you guys maybe get off my bed, please?" Beca asked nicely. When one shook his head and the rest of them ignored her, she wasn't going ask nicely again "Dude, get off my bed"
"Video game" Kimmy Jin deadpanned.
"Don't care" Beca chuckled and crossed her arms. Jesse, who was tall enough to block the tv on the wall stepped in front with a smirk. No matter how much they complained, he wasn't moving. This night of torture was going to be fun. The group eventually gave in and moved from Beca's bed. Without the view of the tv, Kimmy Jin's friends called it a night. With mutters of 'white girl' and 'him', Kimmy Jin bid her friends farewell before dramatically flopping onto her bed with a huff. She glared over at roommate as she picked up her laptop and resorted to working on an essay that was due soon.
Giggling softly, Beca straightened up her bed as Jesse set up her laptop. Finding the bag of candy Beca stashed in the top drawer of her desk before making himself comfortable on the bed. He'd had a habit of making himself at home in his girlfriend's dorm and wasn't going to stop any time soon.
"Is he staying long?" Kimmy Jin asked as she noticed Jesse get settled.
"We're going to watch some movies, it may be a while"
The young Korean let out another annoyed huff as she returned to her assignment. Holding back her laugh, Beca settled in next to her boyfriend cuddling close to his side. Jesse slipped a dvd into the laptop and wasn't surprised to hear a laugh come from the girl beside him as the opening credits ran across the screen.
"The Breakfast Club? Really?"
"It was the first movie we watched together in this dorm, I thought it could be the last" Jesse chuckled as he wrapped his arm around Beca's shoulder and pulled her closer. Admittedly they'd only watched the end but it was the start of an endless movication that Jesse planned to give his girlfriend. As long as she still wanted him around, he was going to educate her on the amazingness that was the art of film.
After 'The Breakfast Club' they moved onto 'Rocky' just to annoy Kimmy Jin. Her sighs just got louder as the night progressed but about halfway through 'Rocky' she finally gave up. Getting ready for bed, Kimmy Jin slipped on her eye mask silently praying that Rocky would keel over just so the movie would end. Tonight was not her lucky night because Rocky survived to the end of the movie and was quickly replaced by Toy Story, Jesse's all-time favourite Disney movie. Knowing the words off by heart, Jesse mouthed along with the movie for the most part. It wasn't long after they visited Pizza Planet that both he and Beca started to yawn softly. Peering over to the other side of the room, Beca saw Kimmy Jin with the covers pulled over her head asleep. Their mission to annoy her one last night had been successful. The pair decided they got bonus points because there was no way Kimmy Jin wasn't going to wake up with a sore neck by the awkward position she was in.
"I should probably head back to my room" Jesse yawned softly as he paused the movie. Neither of them were going to last til the end and they needed to get at least some sleep. They had a busy day tomorrow moving all of Beca's things into the new Bella house.
"Stay" the brunette insisted as she held her arms tight around her boyfriend's waist. Not wanting to lose the warmth, she snuggled in refusing to let him go.
"I'm not really allowed to…"
"Stay"
"Beca…" Jesse sighed as he pressed a soft kiss to his girlfriend's cheek.
"Stay"
"Kimmy Jin won't like waking up to see me still here"
Beca giggled softly "All the more reason to stay. Now shutup and sleep, nerd"
Giving in with a light sigh, Jesse, who had kicked his shoes off hours ago pulled the blanket over them both. Kissing Beca's cheek once again, he relaxed into his girlfriend's embrace "Goodnight weirdo"
