CHAPTER 1
High school was a mess for people like Beca Mitchell, people thought of her as a social outcast, and she would agree with them. She was the type of person to sport all black clothes, huge and scary earrings, and a signature "don't-fuck-with-me" face. Even if she looked like the type of person to skip school, hide behind the bleachers, and smoke weed the whole time, she was very serious with her school work. She would get A's in every single class, regardless of the subject, she was an absolute nerd to her friends, or more like, friend. The only person that she seems to be friends with is a boy named Jesse, by the looks of it, Beca barely tolerates him, but in truth, she adores the kid. They have known each other for ages, they had first met each other in elementary school, and haven't separated since. Jesse was the complete opposite of Beca, outgoing, loves movies, and loves to meet new people. Beca, on the other hand, is shy, rude, hates movies, and hates people in general.
At home, everything changes for Beca, it is living hell for her. Her mom is a serious drug addict, never in the house, no one knowing where she goes or what she does. Her father, meanwhile, is constantly drunk, and loves to abuse her daughter, both physically and mentally. Both her parents are rarely together under the same roof, but when they happen to see each other in the hallway or in their room, it's like a tornado blows through the house. Things are thrown, and hurtful things are said, always leading to a slammed front door. It's always her mom that leaves, her dad going into the kitchen to grab alcohol.
When Beca arrives home, she hops the fence, into the backyard, and climbs into her room, using her window. Boy, was she lucky to have a room on the level floor of her house. As Beca jumps into her room, she hears the sound of glass breaking, followed by some yelling. Great, she thinks, mom's home. She winces when she hears a loud bang coming from the front door, signalling that her mother has gone out of the house, and she has approximately two hours before her father pounds on the door, demanding that she come out to receive a , all of that has stopped, for now, she has a job in two hours, so she might as well leave early and get there on time for work.
Beca works as a mechanic, she fixes cars and changes oils and whatnot. Luke, her manager, gave her the job because he saw her working on her car, fixing the parts. He needed new part time workers, as he had fired his last one. He asked her some questions, and Beca got a job on the same day. After she gets her things settled, Beca goes into her bathroom, and takes a shower, exhausted from the long day at school. After the shower, she starts on one of her mixes. Beca had always wanted to be a DJ, ever since she got her laptop from her grandfather. Whenever she's not at work, or doing homework, she loves to mix, she wants to make a career out of it, that's the only reason she's taking choir at school, so she could sing better. Maybe she'll sing well enough to make her own songs. She mixes for an hour and a half, before getting her things ready, and driving to work. When she gets there, she sees a note taped to her chair, by Luke. It's a note, saying that he's gone for the day because of a friend's wedding, so she has the whole shop to herself, and the profits to any cars that come in on the day. Beca reads the note, throws it away, and gets started on one of the cars from the previous night before.
