A short time before
Where was the other shoe?
Chloe was desperately searching the lost shoe and put it quickly. Knows it was running late, and the worst of all was the picture of Alice scolding to her. She took the Barden Bella´s handkerchief and start to run, luckily arrived a few seconds before the performance.
What most disappointed to Chloe wasn't the Alice glance and her reproachful speech, it was to know that she was wrong from the beginning. She believed have seen that fool wish in that nice girl, who always was singing and dancing, and all the time was sweet. But Alice wasn't that kind of girl, at least not the full time.
One advice who someone recibes before start the university experience is: enjoy and have new memories. And the second choice usually is interpreted by many forms. To Chloe that means something more of being a part of an group of ladies. It also means, grabs that new experience who anyone lives on university campus. One experience she never forgotten, but she has chosen the wrong person. Because Alice wasn't that lovely women, and when Chloe felt offended by she, searched the protective eye of her friend, Aubrey, and check if she wasn't the only who thinks that. Chloe was starting to think "this is my last try, maybe not going to happen". One experience she wasn't to live because Alice was pretty and nothing more. She wasn't helpful or hid any secret behind her eyes. Alice is a mean girl and not just by her look. That´s why Chloe was wrong: almost fall in a secret tenderness who nobody see, because theres nothing else to show.
After lose the championship, she thought on give up with the Barden Bellas, but when she saw to Aubrey she decided to stay, to try it one more time. She promised to help Aubrey to return the confidence of her friendship, for the little secret she kept. Maybe on the new group could be found the lost talent to win. Maybe this will be the last chance to prove she wasn't wrong, and that university experience never will happen.
But she was nerve and could remember: "one last try, even if i fall". If this year doesn't going to find her only exception, then she will give up. Maybe this year isn't going to find that bad girl (on appearance) with a lovely personality hidden. And maybe she have to return to her appearance of a normal girl: to keep a performance for all the world. Pretending she is a girl of regular girl.
At the insistence of her father, Beca is going to start the university, only to prove how wrong he was because her place is on LA, and creating music with the hands on the remix box. But she prepared her suitcases, more equipment than clothes, and looking forward and remember one crazy thing of when she was nine. She blushed and decided wait the taxi outside.
With that memory on her thoughts started to create a new song. The letter reminds to Beca that secret wish she hid on her childhood. "If you wanna, you got it". Over and over on her mind because the taxi travel was very quiet and forced her to think everything before to arrive the Barden University. She still think isn't on that campus to creating experiences, she prefers create music. Suddenly feel the glance of the taxi man over her piercings, tattoos and clothes. She snorted and look out the window. The scenery of bags and people makes she returns to land.
She unpack her bags, doesn´t need help of the men who saw her like a weird thing. Even if she was that. Not because she tries to be a normal person, just because she didn´t wanted.
Beca starts to look outside, and between all those people, she only can focus on a red head. Moving with a distinguished beat. Unlucky choice of song for her mix... the wishes was confused on her mind. All what she believed to know, she thinks was the right thing... all was it wrong. She keeps the look on that sweet silhoutte until it stop on a boys group. Was stupid to look on that place, standing quiet in a moving crowd. She decides go to her new room to met her roomie, but first she have to fight with that feeling who forces to stay watching that girl. She needs to remember the face behind that beautiful shadow. Suddenly she turns around, the time necessary to record the colour of her eyes and the charming smile.
She returns to reality and gives an snort, again. Surely she is one of that kind of girls who only cares herself, a leader of the classic band who see the girls like Beca like a freak, a weird bug. But...
What if... she it really was?
