Taming Beca Mitchell- Chapter 1
Beca Mitchell was Barden University's resident badass. A junior and the leader of the Barden Bella's alongside her good friend Fat Amy. Beca was the girl who had a scary-ass ear spike and always wore dark, tight clothing. Some girls were scared of her but most just wanted to be her because the boys drooled whenever she walked by. Beca Mitchell had it all. The astonishing good looks, the husky voice and the killer confidence. Her walls were up and she was a total flirt... Then she met Chloe Beale.
Chloe Beale was a very shy starting freshman when she first saw Beca Mitchell. Like everyone else, she was immediately torn between fear and admiration. She watched the Bella's float by the group of freshman she was with, oozing power and sex appeal. She straight away noticed the slightly short brunette leading the group of girls. Her eyes were emphasised with smoky eye shadow and heavy eye liner, and were scanning her surroundings seemingly uninterested. To her right was a big blonde girl who walked with so much swagger and arm flails, it was almost amusing. Behind them was a taller brunette who was wearing some very revealing clothing and she was chatting with a dark girl who had flaming red dyed hair wearing a plaid shirt. Trailing behind was a timid girl who had blonde hair pulled into a pony tail, a tall dimply girl with short dark brown curly hair and another round-faced brunette with long wavy hair. As they disappeared towards the dormitories, Chloe took a look at her fellow newbies. Everyone was still turned in the direction the Bella's had gone, their jaws hanging wide open. Chloe shook her head, her own wavy red hair cascading below her shoulders. She had to focus and not get intimidated. Of course she wanted to audition for the Bellas. The all-female acapella group was one of the reasons she had applied to Barden. Not only because they were campus/national royalty (in the acapella world) but because she loved to sing.
"..." Chloe's head snapped around to what she thought was the sound of a bee. She was very taken back when she saw an Asian girl with wide eyes and straight black hair that nearly fell to her waist.
"I'm sorry? Did you say something?" Chloe cocked her head at the strange girl.
"..."
Chloe could've sworn she saw the girls lips move but she heard nothing. Zip. Zilch.
"I'm sorry. One more time?" Chloe leaned a tiny bit closer to the girl and strained her ears.
"You're on my bag strap."
Chloe looked down and saw her ballet flat covered foot was indeed on the girl's bag strap.
"Oh, I am so sorry!" Chloe stepped off and smiled at the girl who only moved her lips in a fish like motion. Feeling a bit weirded out by the strange girl, Chloe stepped away from her and turned to the front waiting for instructions.
"Hi there everyone and welcome to Barden University." A loud chirpy voice came from the front and everybody perked up to listen. A very pale girl with the widest smile Chloe had ever seen was waving one arm around in a welcome, with the other cradling a clipboard. "Half of you guys and gals will be staying in the Broad Square dorm, and the other in Madison Way. Another bus arrived earlier this morning so someone from that group will be your roomie! I'm Jill your dorm director and now we're gonna head on over so follow me!"
Everyone grabbed their suitcases and backpacks and sluggishly moved off behind Jill. Chloe took the time to look around at the clean buildings and other students roaming around the wide open space of Barden. It looked like they were setting up some stalls and Chloe was sure it was for the activities fair that she'd read about in the pamphlet.
"Alright kids, here we are. Welcome to Broad Square! And right across from us is the Madison Way dorm! There are five different dorms here. Grand Avenue, Union Town, Madison Way, Central Bridge and of course Broad Square. I have all your names so let's get this show on the road!" The overly enthusiastic Jill started reading out names and room numbers. Chloe listened out and learned that the weird Asian girl's name was Lilly and she was across the way in Madison Square.
"Chloe Beale! Room 22." Chloe moved forward, weaving through her fellow students to grab her keys.
"This is your official BU rape whistle," Jill said handing it over like the thing was made of glass. "Don't blow it unless it's actually happening!"
Chloe smiled awkwardly in thanks and took the whistle, slipped it around her wrist and walked off towards her dorm.
"Becaaaaaaahhhh!" Fat Amy was lying on the couch screeching for her roommate.
"What the fuck, Amy?" Beca came into view with her headphones around her neck frowning at her best friend.
Amy shot up from the couch at the sight of her friend. "Finally! I've been calling your name foreverrrr!"
"People usually do though... In bed. But like, a little more breathier" Beca smirked and winked at Fat Amy who cringed and fake gagged.
"Shut up, bitch. I don't need that this morning. I was just going to ask how many members we're looking for at auditions and shouldn't we be at the stall for the activities fair?" Fat Amy stretched her neck to see out the window into the courtyard.
"Yeah... I was thinking maybe three or four new girlies. And as co-leaders we are meant to be there but we'll show up in about twenty minutes because we're not that eager. Besides, Stacie and Cynthia are gonna be there to set up." Beca shrugged her shoulders and grinned at Amy.
"Awww but Beca... I'm like super good at recruiting new members! Can we please go?" Fat Amy grabbed Beca by her tank top and looked at her with a mega watt smile.
"Ughh, fine! Give me two seconds. I need to save my mix." Beca walked back to her room missing the fist pump Fat Amy did.
Chloe arrived at the oak door that had a big twenty-two painted on it.
"This is it. Don't freak." Chloe gave herself pep talk before unlocking the door and pushing inside.
"Hi, you must be Chloe Beale. I'm Aubrey Posen." A tall blonde wearing a cute pink halter dress stood before her with a dazzling smile.
"Hey, yeah. That's me." Chloe smiled at the blonde glad she had a roommate that wasn't a total freak. "That's a pretty dress by the way."
"Why thank you Chloe. I like yours too. It totally complements your eyes." Aubrey smiled and turned to her suitcase which was open on her bed. "Do you know when you're heading down to the activities fair?" Aubrey questioned, pulling out a poster of Madonna and walking over to the wall behind her desk to tack it up.
"I think I'll head down now actually. I'll unpack when I get back." Chloe shyly started to move towards the door.
"Well, wait for me! I'll come with you!" Aubrey grinned and linked arms with the red head and all but pulled her out of the room.
"Look! There are Cyn and Stacie." Fat Amy pointed over to the Barden Bella's stall, grinning. "Come on, Beca!"
"Right behind you." Beca smiled at Amy as the bigger girl skipped off to the table. Beca looked around at the other stalls and students. The Korean Student Union with their white and red decorations and the Barden DJ's whose misleading name tricked her but also led her to meet Amy. She looked over the courtyard to find the Treble Makers who were already jamming it out to a Michael Jackson classic, surrounded by eager boys and swooning girls. Beca scoffed and made her way to her own acapella group.
"Morning aca-bitches." Beca reached the table where she got a wave from Stacie who was talking to a potential new Bella and a "Wassup girlfriend!" from Cynthia Rose. Fat Amy was also with Stacie and was already questioning the terrified looking freshman about the art of mermaid dancing.
"Anyone look like they have Bella potential, Cyn?" Beca stood behind the table and observed the hundreds of students milling about.
"We've had alot of freshmen come up and just ask when YOU were going to show up and if they could get a signed picture." Cynthia rolled her eyes and scoffed at Beca's smirk.
"What can I say? All 'em bitches love me." Beca hip bumped Cynthia-Rose and laughed. "I am low-key looking for some new meat though. Brittany got boring over Summer. So did Adriana. And Christina. Even Hillary." Beca shook her head.
"Well it won't take long, I'm sure boss," Cynthia-Rose chuckled a little at her captain's flirty antics. "Ohhh! In coming!" The darker girl nodded her head in the direction of the approaching red head and blonde who were laughing whilst passing a male student clad only in swimwear.
"So Chloe, do you have any clubs in mind that you want to join?" Aubrey had her arm still linked with the smaller girl's and they were approaching the fair.
"Umm.. I like to sing." Chloe mumbled and stole a glance at the blonde who squealed and stopped to grab Chloe by the shoulders.
"Oh my gosh, me too! We should totally join the Bellas together." Aubrey continued walking towards the crowd of people. "Well, you ready?"
Chloe nodded and smiled at her new friend. "Let's do this."
"Hmm, looking good." Cynthia-Rose eyed the two girls heading towards them with a friendly smile.
"You wanna handle this? I'll distract Amy." Cynthia nodded as Beca ducked to grab Amy and start up a conversation about pirate dancing to not scare off the two very pretty potential Bellas.
"Good morning girlies. You interested in joining the Barden Bellas?" Cynthia turned to the two girls who stood fidgeting at the table.
"Yes, good morning. I'm Aubrey Posen." Aubrey straightened up and smiled at Cynthia-Rose. "This is my friend Chloe Beale, and she is also interested in joining."
"Great! We're only looking for about three girls this year so we'll just give a quick audition now and if you make the cut, then you can come back for our final audition. Stacie! Come here, girl!" Cynthia-Rose waved over the tall brunette who came with a sensual grin.
"Hey ladies, I'm Stacie. I'll just be listening in with Cynthia-Rose so go whenever you're ready." The two girls stood back and waited for the freshmen to start.
"Okay.. Anything I want?" Aubrey asked.
"Yeah, anything. Go for it."
Aubrey then launched into Madonna's 'Like a Prayer' with some very extensive riffs. Chloe just stood back looking very impressed while Cynthia-Rose and Stacie had joined in with some backing vocals. A small group had formed around the girls and when the chorus ended, there was a burst of applause. Fat Amy had charged forward and tightly hugged a proud Aubrey while Cynthia-Rose wrote the freshman's name down.
"That was really something" A short brunette with a very alarming ear spike had made her way through the crowd still clapping. "Hi, I'm Beca Mitchell, leader of the Bellas alongside Fat Amy."
"Hey girls, I am THE Fat Amy." Fat Amy grinned and let go of Aubrey who was a little flushed from the performance.
"Wait, you call yourself 'Fat Amy'?" Aubrey looked at the blonde with a curious expression.
"Yeah, so twig bitches like you don't do it behind my back." Fat Amy said and then smiled at Aubrey and Chloe who just nodded.
"Okay, so Aubrey is it?" Beca said, peeking at the sheet with at least a dozen girls names. "We will definitely see you at auditions."
Aubrey jumped up and down clapping her hands grinning.
"And you." Beca turned to Chloe with a bit of a smirk. "Your turn."
Beca's eyes trailed down from bright blue eyes down to the girl's shoes in an invasive once-over and nodded appreciatively. She grabbed the signup sheets and poised ready to listen.
"Um okay." Chloe looked down at her ballet flats and took a deep breath in.
It's going down fade to Blackstreets
The homies got at me collab creations, bump like acne;
No doubt, I put it down never slouch
As long as my credit could vouch
A dog couldn't catch me, straight up
Beca's head shot up to stare at the girl who was rapping her ultimate jam while looking insanely cute. To say she was impressed was an understatement. She was in awe of the freshman that was pulling the words out like magic. Before she could hold back, Beca jumped right in with the red head and they were rapping together.
Tell me who could stop when Dre making moves
Attracting honeys like a magnet
Giving them eargasms with my mellow accent
Still moving this flavour with homies Blackstreet and Teddy
The original rump shakers
Shorty get down, good Lord
Baby got them open up all over town
Strictly biz she don'tplayaround
Cover much ground got game by the pound
Beca held back to listen to Chloe's voice. Her jaw dropped when she heard the most incredible voice spill from the freshman's lips. It was amazing. She decided to once again sing with the red head and she grinned when the younger girl gave her a shy smile.
Getting paid is her forte
Each and every day true player way
I can't get her outta my mind
I think about the girl all the time
They sung together and when they'd finished the chorus, the cheers and cat calls were deafening.
"So it looks like we're definitely going to see you at auditions." Beca grinned at the girl whose face was as red as her hair. "What's your name, sweet cheeks?"
"Chloe.. Chloe Beale." The freshman went impossibly darker when she heard the pet name drop from Beca's lips. Beca snapped her fingers in Cynthia-Rose's direction and the darker girl scribbled Chloe's name down.
"Well, Chloe Beale. I look forward to seeing you very soon." Beca gave Chloe a sly wink and disappeared by a mob of eager girls asking if she'd sing with them too.
Chloe turned back to the table where Fat Amy and Stacie were whispering and looking at her, grinning. Cynthia-Rose was giving a sheet with all the details on it to Aubrey and shoved one to Chloe as well.
"We'll see you next Friday then girls." Cynthia-Rose smiled at the two freshmen who thanked her and said goodbye to Stacie and Fat Amy who waved and winked back.
"Better brush up on your mermaid dancing! We like diversity!" Fat Amy called out to the two as they turned to leave.
"That was great! You have an incredible voice, Chloe!" Aubrey had once again linked their arms and they headed away from the Bellas.
"Thanks, Aubrey. You do too." Chloe smiled at her new friend. "I can't wait until Friday!"
Let's get back into this lol
