Author's Note: I saw this thing on Zooey Deschanel's site hellogiggles called 11 signs someone is in love with you. Looking through it I kinda liked it, and saw definite potential to make them into a story. So I decided I'd go Chaubrey because I do like the pairing and there just isn't enough. This starts their first year of college and will go on from there. There's only going to be ten chapters because there's one I find disgusting and refuse to do. Also I won't be doing it in the same order as the article because what I have planned flows better a certain way. Pretty much unbetaed though Smeg did glance over it and didn't hate it. I don't own Pitch Perfect or any of the characters originating from the movie. If anyone wants to see the article it's at hellogigles dot com slash 11-signs-someone-love
"I can't believe you're planning on studying on a Saturday night." Chloe said to her roommate as they made their way to the cafeteria after Bella practice.
"I need to keep my grades up." Aubrey explained. "In order to do that, you need to study."
"Yeah, but on a Saturday night?" Chloe asked, holding the door open for her blonde friend.
"Whenever you can." Aubrey said, giving the redhead a smile in thanks.
"This guy Howie in Dr. Mitchell's class told me his House, the one we performed at in the fall, is having a party and that I should come." Chloe said.
"That was nice of him." Aubrey said. "I hope you have fun."
"I'd have more fun if you came with me." Chloe said. "You need to let your hair down sometime."
"I'll let my hair down when I'm living on Pennsylvania Avenue." The blonde replied.
"Just come for a couple hours, you can study when you get back." Chloe offered. "It'll be fun."
"I suppose I can agree with that." Aubrey relented, knowing the redhead wouldn't let it go otherwise. And when it came down to it, she liked spending time with her fellow Bella.
"Hi, I'm Luke." the Englishman introduced himself
"Aubrey." The blonde said, curtly. Luke grinned, interpreting it as her playing hard to get.
"You having a good time?" He asked, moving closer.
"Good enough I suppose." Aubrey said with a shrug, nodding towards Chloe who was dancing nearby. "My roommate said I need to have fun, so here I am."
"Your roommate is a smart girl." Luke said, finishing his beer. "I'm going for a refill, can I get you one too?"
"I'm good for now thank you." Aubrey said, indicating her cup was still mostly full.
"Right. I'll be back and we can pick up where we left off." Luke said. making his way through the crowd.
"Oh my god Aubrey he's so hot." Chloe said coming up to the blonde after the Brit was out of earshot.
"I can see why you would say that." Aubrey said in an indifferent tone. "He's not really my type."
"How can you say that? I bet he's got killer abs." Chloe asked, looking her friend in the eyes. As she did, she saw a tall leggy brunette walk by wearing a skimpy halter top and a tight miniskirt that accentuated her toned ass. Chloe didn't miss Aubrey's eyes following after the girl. The redhead's next words caused the blonde's eyes to go wide. "Oh. I get it now."
"Yeah." Aubrey said, letting out a sigh. She knew she'd been caught. "Please don't judge me."
"Why would I judge you?" Chloe asked, concern rising for her friend. "I like girls too."
"Can we not talk about this here?" Aubrey asked, her eyes darting around to see if anyone had heard them.
"Sure, let's go back to our room, we can talk there." Chloe said, though shortly after the words were out of her mouth, Luke had returned with two beers in his hand.
"Got you one anyway." Luke offered the blonde, hopping she'd appreciate the gesture.
"Thank you, but we're leaving." Aubrey offered, finishing the beer she currently had in her hand.
"But we just met." Luke said, his voice heavy with disappointment.
"She needs to study." Chloe said with a polite smile as she and Aubrey headed off, walking in silence till they got back to their shared room.
"So, you're gay?" Chloe asked once the door was closed.
"I am." Aubrey nodded, moving to sit on her bed. She didn't like to talk about this, but the redhead's revelation made her a little more comfortable. "I don't want my parents to disown me."
"Hey, hey, it's ok." The redhead said, sitting next to Aubrey and pulling her into a hug. "Not everyone's family is like mine, I get it."
"It's not that I don't want to be out." Aubrey said, clearly on the verge of tears. "I've never even had a girlfriend or anything, or even kissed a girl. I'm pathetic."
"No, you're not. You're amazing Aubrey. You're smart, driven, have an amazing voice, you're gorgeous. You could have any girl you wanted." Chloe said, running a hand up and down her friend's back. "Is there anyone you have your eyes on?"
"Yeah, there is." Aubrey nodded, a tear finally escaping
"Don't cry." Choe said. "Tell me about her, maybe we can make it happen."
"She's amazing." Aubrey started, knowing it barely scratched the surface. "She's the sunniest, kindest, most caring person I've met. And she's gorgeous too. She's got these blue eyes I could get lost in."
Aubrey didn't get to go any further before Chloe's lips were on hers in a passionate kiss.
