"Alright nerds," Beca began, "Let's go with, Katy Perry- 'The One That Got Away'."
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. Afterwards all of the freshmen who were auditioning turned in their information to Justin, and then lined up back stage.
The first one onstage was a tall, slender girl with deep red hair.
"Hi! My name is Kaylee, and"—
She paused when her eyes landed on the new front-man of the Treblemakers.
"Go on," Beca said shaking her head and waving her arm.
"Oh, sorry. My hobbies include movies, finding new music, and I was a performer in Cirque de Soleil in my freshman year of high school. So, I still got a few moves," She said as she did a near-perfect split, somehow without ripping her skinny jeans. She stood back up and began to imitate a piano.
Boy 1: imitating guitar
Boy 2: imitating drum
Kaylee: Summer after high school, when we first met
Short, cute, (slightly pitched) boy: We'd make out in your Mustang, to Radiohead
Nervous boy (from behind his hands): And on my 18th birthday, we bought matching tattoos.
Just then, a tall, blonde girl walked up on stage.
"Hi everybody! My name is Chelsea. I'm Kaylee's bud, and a total nerd. To be specific, DA member, and ComicCon goer."
Chelsea: Used to steal your parents' liquor, and climb to the roof.
Smiley girl: We'd talk about our future, like we had a clue
Hot boy: Never knew that one day, I'd be losing you.
Then a gothic looking girl with dirty-blonde hair walked up. She pulled down her hoodie, and then she spoke in a quiet voice.
"Hi. I'm Arlis. I'm skilled with a bow & arrow, and I like to walk on walls."
Arlis: But in another life…
Short, sweet girl: I would be your girl.
Kaylee: We keep all our promises
Black Guy: Be us against the world
Chelsea: In another life
Black Girl: I would make you stay
Hot boy: So I don't have to say
Arlis: You were the one that got away
Smiley girl: All this money can't buy me a time machine
Cute boy: No- o- o-oh
Nervous boy: I sh-should have told you what you m-meant t-to me
Cute girl: Whoa-oh-a-oh
Kaylee: 'cause now I pay the price.
She looked right at Jesse as she sang that line. His eyes widened.
All: but in another life…
About an hour later, Beca joined Jesse at their usual picnic spot for lunch. The second she sat down, Jesse tossed her the juice box, and immediately began speaking.
"Who did you pick?"
"You tell me first," She replied.
"Fine", he said. "I picked that short boy, Derek, I think, and that tall dude, uh, Kent .
"Good choices", Beca replied, "I picked Zoe, that short cute girl, that black lady, uh, Rachel, Morgan, ya' know that smiley girl, Arlis, Chelsea, and Kaylee."
"Hmm. I'm sorry, but Kaylee just bothers me. I swear, when she paused while introducing herself, she was staring right at me! And when she sang that last individual line!" Jesse screamed, causing those surrounding them to turn their heads.
Beca simply nodded her head in disbelief. "So what?"
"SO WHAT?!" This drew more onlookers. Jesse blushed.
"Honestly, you're overreacting. She could have been looking at someone next to you, or maybe she noticed that pimple on your fore head…"
"Oh really? Wait, what?!"
"Here, I'll pop it,"
"Gahh!" Even more decided to turn their heads.
"Look, I don't think she knows you or anything beyond the fact that you're the new front man of the treblemakers, now stop screaming, PLEASE!"
