Fearless
Chapter 1
"Beca you have to go."
"What, no. since when do you and dad even agree on anything?"
"Beca, don't be like that. It will be a wonderful experience. You'll get to meet other people who are just like you."
"Mom, I don't need to go to some stupid school. I want to go to LA and make music."
"But you need to learn how to control yourself. If your powers get out of hand again…. I don't know what we'll do."
Beca sighed. It was like this almost every night. Her mom would practically beg her to go to this school, but she always refused. The brunette stood up and walked upstairs to her room, ignoring the pleading looks her mother sent. Once in her room, she sat down at her desk. It was nights like these that she created her best mixes. She would slip her headphones on and drown out the world. Or at least drown it out until her mother knocked on her door, telling her that dinner was ready. Beca saved her program and headed down stairs. She was about to enter the dining room when she heard a voice. His voice. Stopping dead in her tracks, she listened closely.
"Warren, she won't go."
"Look this is all very new to her. Maybe she'll listen if I tell her what I've seen." A male voice said.
"I don't know. I would feel better knowing she would be with people like her but… she's not going to budge."
"I'll help try to convince her."
Beca shook her head. Really? This guy? After what, ten years he finally decides to speak to me face to face? And of course it would be over this lame school. Taking in a deep breath, the brunette walked into the dining room. She saw her father, a tall man with thinning hair and a tweed jacket, sitting at the table. He smiled at her as she took a seat.
"Hey Beca, how've you been?" he asked.
"Oh I've been good over these last few years. Although it's not like you should care since you left." She replied coldly.
"Beca, your mother and I had our differences. We went our separate ways. I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you when you needed me but I want to be there for you now." He said hopefully.
"How do you expect to be there for me now?"
"Well, if you go to Barden, I can spend more time with you." He suggested.
Beca shook her head in disgust. "So all of this was just another way to try to get me to go to that damn school?"
"No Beca. We're worried about you. We feel like the only way we can help you is by sending you to Barden. It'll help you understand and control your powers. It'll also help you use them in the real world." Her father said. Beca sat and stared at the man. She looked at him, taking in all of his features. He looked older. He had a few more wrinkles and his hair was starting to show some grey. He had a concerned look. Funny, he didn't seem concerned when he left me and my mom. Beca then took in the appearance of her mother. Her mom had the same look in her eyes. Do they really want me to go that bad? Do they think I really need it? Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if I went. If things go wrong I could always run away. Beca sighed.
"Fine."
"What?" her parents said at the same time.
"Fine. I'll go. But I have one rule. You have to let me move to LA after I finish." She bargained.
Her parents looked at her, then at each other.
"Okay, deal." They said at the same time.
Beca grinned. Her mother then served dinner. Afterwards, Beca headed to her room. She had just opened her previous mix when there was a knock on her door.
"Come in." She said.
The door opened and her father walked in. He sat down on the end of her bed. The brunette turned her chair around to face him.
"Look Beca. I know I'm not the best dad but I really want to rebuild our relationship." He looked at his daughter for a reaction. All he received was an eye roll. He sighed.
"Well I know you'll really enjoy Barden. It's a great place to learn how to control your powers and it's also a great college. It's like a two for one deal. Besides, there are also a lot of groups you could join."
Beca nodded and turned back to her computer. Her father sighed and stood up.
"I'll be back in three days to take you to school." He said as he left her room.
"Alright Becs, got everything you need?" her father asked.
"Yep." She replied.
"Okay, let's go!"
Beca hugged her mother goodbye and got into the car. It would be a seven hour drive to Barden. Beca waved to her mother as they pulled away from the curb. It would be a long drive.
Seven hours later, they pulled up into the parking lot of Baker Hall, her new home for the year. Beca got out of the car and helped her dad unload her luggage. She took in her surroundings. Barden had a fairly large campus. All around her, Beca could see people just like her. Well not exactly like her, but they all had powers. She saw people fly high above her, people zoom past her, and people lifting things ten times their weight. Beca grinned, maybe it wouldn't be so bad here after all. She walked over to her father and helped him carry the luggage to her dorm. They entered to find that one side of the room had already been claimed.
"Okay Becs, I'll let you get unpacked while I go grab you schedule and paperwork from the administration building." He said as he left the room. Beca turned her attention to her roommate.
"Hi, you must be Kimmy-Jin, I'm Beca." the brunette said. The Asian girl turned her head to face Beca.
"Um do you speak English?" Beca asked. Kimmy-Jin just turned around and went back to her work.
"O…..kay." Beca said. She turned around to her luggage. She lifted the bag carrying her DJ equipment up onto her bed. She opened it and put the pieces on the desk in the corner. Eventually, all her things where set up and put away. Beca sighed and sat down at her desk. Beca had a new idea for a mix. She started up her computer and opened the software. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Beca looked at Kimmy-Jin, who shrugged. Beca stood up and made her way to the door. She opened it and found her father.
"Here you go Becs. I got all your paperwork filled out. Here's your schedule. Hey why don't we go do something together?" he asked hopefully.
"Ummm dad I have som-"
"I'm going to the activities fair." Kimmy-Jin interrupted.
"Yea, I'm going to the activities fair with my super cool friend Kimmy-Jin." Beca said as she followed the other girl out of her dorm. Warren stood and watched his daughter leave. He smiled, "At least she's made a friend."
Kimmy-Jin ditched Beca the first chance she got. She went to go hang out with the Korean students club. Beca sighed and made her way through the booths. She saw one that said Barden DJ's but it turned out to be deaf Jews. Okay well at least theirs clubs for everyone. She continued to walk until she was stopped by a flyer being shoved in her face. She turned to see a gorgeous woman at the other end.
"Hi! Are you interested in joining our a capella group?" she asked. Oh crap her voice is beautiful.
"Oh yea this is like, a thing now." Beca responded.
"Oh yea totes. Since one of Barden's main goals is to help people like us transition into the normal world, we need to start communicating with them. So why not start with the universal language, music?" the redhead replied. Beca contemplated the pros and cons of joining this group. Most of the pros might've involved a certain redhead but that didn't matter.
"Wow, um." Beca said.
"We're a talented group of ladies." The redhead reasoned.
"I don't know it sounds kinda lame." Beca replied.
"Excuse me? We've preformed at the Cobb preforming arts center you bitch." The blonde standing next to the redhead shot back. Beca smirked at the blonde, who glared in return.
"What Aubrey means to say is that we've preformed on stages all over the world. Help us turn our dreams into a reality?"
"Um I'm sorry, I don't even sing. But it was nice meeting you…"
"Chloe." the redhead replied.
"Chloe." Beca repeated. The brunette gave a small wave and headed back to her dorm. Chloe, perfect name for a perfect girl. Wait, what? Since when am I into people I just met. Whatever. Beca walked back to her dorm. She laid down on her bed and sighed. The brunette held her hand in front of her face. Slowly, she snapped her fingers. Her finger burst into flames. She put all of her concentration into the flame. It began to grow. It slowly engulfed her whole hand. From there, she made the flame rise to where it almost touched the ceiling. Beca then waved her hand and the flame vanished. She smiled, her thoughts returning to a certain redhead. It was going to be a long year.
