I saw this prompt on tumblr somewhere (sorry, I don't remember where) and decided to write a fic for it.

Chloe walked into her chemistry class, being one of the first people in the room–as always. As the class filed in and the late bell rang, every chair was filled except for the third seat in the second row. Chloe wasn't surprised, the freshman who sat there was always late… or she just didn't show up other times.

Chloe tried not to focus on other people though, it was last year of high school and she had already gotten into Barden University. She didn't want to do anything to mess that up her last year. Just as Chloe had gotten interested in what her teacher was saying the freshman walked in, sitting down.

Their teacher sighed, "Why are you late Ms. Mitchell?"

The girl shrugged, "Just give me the detention; it's whatever at this point."

The teacher wrote her up and continued the class, "Okay, so you guys will be doing a lab with partners that I will assign."

The class groaned, as the teacher passed out a handout with the lab instructions on it, returning to the front to read off the list of pairs. "Alyssa and Jason, Philip and Samantha, Brooklyn and Jacliana, Aubrey and Joseph, Chloe and Rebecca–"

"But Mrs. Sommers–" Chloe started.

"I'm not changing anything Chloe," she said as she finished the list.

Chloe sighed and got up when the teacher finished to sit next to the girl in the second row. She had dark hair and she always wore a lot of dark eyeliner… she just had that badass vibe to her. Chloe wasn't sure if she liked it or not, she just knew she would have to do this whole lab herself.

"Hey, I'm Chlo-"

"Yeah, I know. You're like the… smartest one in the room," she said. "You can call me Beca."

Chloe smiled, immediately returning to the straight face she had on before she walked over.

"Okay everyone," Mrs. Sommers started, "This is a simple lab so I'm not giving you time in class other than today, get it done on your own time. All you have to do is make two bars of soap. They have to be different scents. Whatever group has the best scented and shaped soap is getting ten extra points. The requirements are on the sheet of paper Alejandro is passing around."

Chloe turned to Beca, "I have no idea how to make soap."

"We can make it out of glycerin and add something to give it scent…" Beca said with a shrug.

The redhead smiled, "That's a great idea."

Beca looked at the paper with the lab requirements on it, "We need to make a list of materials and the steps used to make each bar."

"That should be simple enough. What scents do you wanna make them?"

"Well I can pick one and you can pick one."

"Sounds good… I kinda want it to smell like oranges," Chloe said with a small smile.

"Okay, we can put the peel in a food processor and put it in the glycerin and if we get clear glycerin it would look cool with the peel in it."

"Yeah, okay. So we need a glycerin soap base, an orange, and…"

"Strawberries."

"And strawberries. So you wanna work on it tonight or…?"

"You don't have plans on a Friday night?"

"Do you?"

"No."

"Well now you do, and so do I," Chloe said with a slight smirk.

Beca smiled and nodded, "Okay."

"I'll pick you up at five so we can go to the store to get our materials."

"We can go to my house after to make the soap."

"Sounds like a plan, here," Chloe handed Beca her notebook and a pen. "Give me your number and address."

Beca finished writing and the bell rang. Chloe stood up and smiled, "See you later Beca."

As Chloe walked out of the room her best friend Aubrey ran up to her, "Damn, you got Beca as your partner?"

"She's actually pretty smart," the redhead admitted.

"... Okay, whatever you say. See you at lunch," the blonde said, leaving Chloe's side.

Beca sat on her couch, fiddling with her ring as she waited for Chloe. She checked the time; it was only 4:47. She took a deep breath and decided to do something to pass the time. Beca got off the couch and walked to the stereo in the kitchen. She turned it on and put her phone in the jack, playing one of her favorite playlists. Beca turned up the volume and started singing along.

Before she knew it, her ring tone started playing through the stereo speakers. It was Chloe.

"Hello?"

"I'm outside," Chloe said.

"Alright, I'll be right there."

Beca grabbed her purse and left the house. A blue Nissan sat outside so Beca got in.

"Hey," the redhead smiled.

"Hey. What store we headed to?" Beca asked.

"Well I wanted to go to the grocery store first and get the fruit and then the craft store, that cool?"

"Yeah."

Chloe pulled away from the house and drove to the supermarket, the two of them walking into the store together.

"So… What is a freshman doing in a chemistry class full of juniors and seniors?" Chloe asked.

"I already took physics and I rather not take biology right now so I made the school change my schedule," Beca replied.

Chloe laughed, "What do you mean you made them?"

"My schedule was really stupid in the beginning of the year; all my classes were like super low level. I made them give me harder classes because I would've been bored… I'm still bored now but it's whatever."

"Why don't show up to class then?" Chloe asked.

Beca shrugged, "I still maintain a B+ average in all my classes… I would have As but I cut all the time."

"How do you even have a B then?"

"I hand in my work; I'm just a no show."

"Don't you want the A over the B?"

Beca laughed, "You ask a lot of questions."

The brunette picked up and orange and pint of strawberries and put them in the basket. They started to walk to the checkout when Chloe stopped.

"I love these," she said, looking at the table of black and white cookies.

Beca picked up a box and put it in the basket.

"Beca, you don't ha-"

"We can eat them while we're making soaps," the brunette winked, continuing to walk towards the checkout lines.

Chloe smiled and followed the girl. Beca paid for their stuff and they got back into Chloe's car. The ride to the craft store was silent but once they got into the store Chloe spoke up again.

"Do you not like school?"

"No, why would I?" Beca asked.

"I don't know… friends and learning."

Beca raised an eyebrow and laughed, "Well I really don't have a lot of friends and… I guess I'm too busy thinking about getting out of this place to focus of school and friends."

Chloe nodded and picked up some clear glycerin, going back to the front of the store to pay.

The ride back to Beca's house wasn't as awkward as the first two rides; they actually had a legitimate conversation in the car that came to an end when Chloe parked outside Beca's house.

When they walked in, Beca led Chloe to the kitchen and put her phone back onto the dock, continuing the playlist where she left off before she left. Chloe put the stuff on the table and Beca got a bowl, two knives, a cutting board, and a food processor.

"Okay, so what do we do first?" Chloe asked.

"Well you melt the glycerin and I'll cut the fruit."

Chloe nodded and put the glycerin on the cutting board, grabbing a knife and cutting it up into small cubes.

"So uhm... Where are your parents?" Chloe asked.

"My mom... she uh, doesn't live here, and my dad... I have no idea actually. He's probably at his stupid girlfriend's house or something," Beca shrugged, throwing the orange peels in the food processor.

"Oh..."

Beca laughed, "I don't know why I'm telling you all of this. It's not your problem."

"I asked," Chloe reminded.

"I guess."

Beca turned on the food processor and Chloe put half the cubes in the bowl then into the microwave.

"Wait," Beca started, "Put plastic wrap over it."

She tore a piece off and covered the bowl with it, then turning off the food processor. Chloe put it in for thirty seconds and stirred, repeating it until the glycerin was completely melted.

"Shit, what are we using as a mold?" Beca asked.

"Uhm... Do you have those fruit cups?"

"Yeah, good idea," she smiled, getting a cup of peaches and dumping them in a bowl, washing out the cup.

Beca poured the orange in the glycerin and Chloe stirred them together, then pouring the substance into the fruit cup.

Chloe smiled, "One down, one to go."

Beca nodded, "What should we use for the other mold?"

"Uhm… we could use another fruit cup, I don't think it matters."

"Okay," she said, dumping another cup of fruit into the bowl and rinsing it out.

They started the process over again, making the strawberry scented bar. It turned completely pink and Beca wasn't sure if it was supposed to look the way it did but Chloe assured her it was fine.

"Cookie?" Chloe asked, holding out a black and white cookie from the container.

"Thanks," she smiled, taking it from her.

The girls sat eating the cookies when Chloe suddenly started smacking the table.

"What's wrong?" Beca asked.

"I love this song!" Chloe smiled.

Beca smiled and turned the music up.

"You shout it loud, but I can't hear a word you say," Chloe sang.

"You know David Guetta?"

"Of course, have I been living under a rock? This song is my jam… my lady jam," the redhead winked.

"Oh, okay."

"Sing!"

"Chloe, I-"

"Beca!"

The brunette sighed and began to sing along, "I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose, fire away, fire away. Ricochet, you take your aim, fire away, fire away."

Chloe was surprised at how well the brunette could sing but continued to sing as well, "You shoot me down, but I won't fall. I am titanium. You shoot me down but I won't fall. I am titanium."

When the song was over Beca turned the music back down and the redhead spoke up, "I didn't know you could sing."

"I don't sing for people… but you sing really well too. I already knew that though."

"What do you mean?" Chloe asked.

"I saw you in the school's musical. You were really good," Beca smiled.

"Thanks… I can tell by this playlist that you're into music."

Beca nodded, "It's kinda all I focus on. I wanna be a music producer when I get out of high school."

"That's cool, you have any work you'd be okay with sharing?"

Beca sighed, "I guess, yeah. Hold on, let me get my laptop."

She left the kitchen and returned minutes later with her laptop. She sat next to Chloe and opened her music program and iTunes.

"Here's one I recently made," Beca said, playing a mashup of Bulletproof and Release Me.

"That's so cool. How do you do that?"

Beca showed her the music program and an example of how to mix two songs.

"I said it like a hundred times already, but that is so freaking cool," Chloe smiled.

Beca laughed and closed her laptop, "Thanks… I always thought you were pretty cool too."

Chloe had to swallow the ball that appeared in her throat to reply, "Uhm… How long do you think it'll take to harden?"

Beca shrugged, "Probably overnight…"

"You're really smart, you know that? And pretty and amazing, and I know I really don't know you but…"

"But what?"

"I used to think you were like those kids who skipped school and did drugs and thought you were so cool… You're totally not. You're really sweet, and drop-dead gorgeous," Chloe admitted.

Beca smirked, "I always thought you were nice, and I definitely always thought you were beautiful. From the first day of class with you I thought that."

Chloe smiled, "Well now that we have that established, you wanna go out sometime?"

"I would love that," the brunette laughed. "Strawberry?"

"Thanks," Chloe said, taking the strawberry from her and eating it. "I should probably go."

Beca sighed, "Okay."

They got up and Chloe followed Beca to the front door as she opened it. Chloe stood in the doorway and turned to Beca. She didn't say anything; she just stared for a while until she couldn't stand the urge. Chloe leaned in and placed her lips on Beca's, Beca putting her hands on the redhead's waist.

The kiss escalated quickly, Chloe moving her hands down Beca's back and Beca running her hands up the redhead's shirt. Beca pulled away from the kiss and closed the front door, pulling Chloe over to the couch. Chloe reattached their lips and straddled Beca on the couch. The brunette's hands cupped Chloe's face, pulling her deeper into the kiss. The redhead moved her mouth from the brunette's lips down to her neck, trailing kisses from her ear to the base of her neck then pulled away.

"I have to go," Chloe said. "My mom is going to kill me."

"Okay..." Beca said with a frown.

"I'll be back tomorrow to check on the soap," the redhead winked, getting off the brunette.

Beca smiled and got up to walk Chloe to the door for the second time.

"I'll text you when I get home, and you better not be one of those people who falls asleep mid-conversation," Chloe smirked.

Beca laughed, "I'm not. I'll talk to you until I see you again tomorrow if that's what you want."

Chloe gave Beca a kiss on the cheek, "See you tomorrow."

Beca closed the door behind Chloe and smiled. Maybe high school wouldn't be as bad as she thought.
