The Barden Bella's. Barden University's only all women a capella group. They were successful and popular. Everybody wanted to be around them, because they looked like the tight close knit group they claimed to be.
But the reality was very different. The Bella's house where they all lived together resembled most of the time a war zone instead of a loving supporting sisterhood.
Ten girls with different personalities living together was asking for trouble. They hated each other. More then once a fight occurred. Pulling each others hair, scratching and biting each other. Only when they were in public they could behave themselves.
Beca Mitchell their captain was a short and tiny brunette. She was moody and distant and grumpy. She hated life and people in general. She was extremely into herself and hated talking or being around people.
The person she hated the most out of the Bella's was her co captain. Regularly the other girls were witnesses of their screaming matches.
Chloe Beale a fiery and bubbly redhead was not only the co captain but also the complete opposite of Beca. She was social and loved to cuddle with pretty much everyone. She didn't have any boundaries and didn't believe in personal space.
Most of the girls hated her for that. They were not happy when she barged in their rooms without knocking or asking. Or the fact that she borrowed their stuff without asking.
Then there was Fat Amy. A big blonde Australian women. She was loud and rude. She had absolute no filter and said everything she thought. She loved food and had no problems with stealing the rest of the girls food. Much to the rests irritation.
Lilly was the quiet and sometimes psychotic Asian girl. Most of the time the rest of the girls couldn't hear anything that she said. And when they could they were most of the times they were shocked. She scared the hell out of them by appearing when they didn't expect them. Nobody wanted to share a room with her and they avoided her most of the time.
Cynthia Rose was the only black girl of the group. She had a gambling problem that had almost spiralled out of control. She was gay and ogled the rest of the girls in the house openly. This made the girls feel uncomfortable around her. The repeatedly asked her to stop that but she refused to do so.
Flo was the most annoying foreign exchange student. She had always an answer that had something to do with her native country Guatemala. And most of the times her answers had nothing to do with the original questions that had been asked.
The sex addict of the group was Stacie. A tall brunette who had banged half of the campus. Although she was smart, she used her brains mainly to plan her next catch. She didn't care about who was around when she brought home her catch of the day. Her very active sex life kept the other girls awake more often then not.
Then there were Jessica and Ashley. Nobody cared about them. And no one bothered to learn who was who. Jessica the blonde one was energetic and neurotic. She drove most of the girls insane with her crazy questions. Ashley the brunette, was bossy as hell. She hadn't any problems with telling Jessica what to do. Or when to do it. Or how to do it. The fact that they shared a room didn't help.
The youngest member of the group was Emily. A tall clumsy girl who spent all her time writing songs. She wasn't the smartest of them and always messed up. She asked the most stupid and dumb questions.
The Bella's were supposed to be a supportive sisterhood, but they weren't none off that. They didn't support each other. They used every opportunity to tear each other down. They weren't afraid to use violence against each other.
The campus security had visited them many times after receiving complaints about almost everything. They had always had gotten away with warnings because they were the pride and joy of Barden. But this time they wouldn't get away with just a warning.
For the past few weeks the tension in the house had built up. And today a massive fight had broken out between the girls. There was screaming and shouting. They cursed at each other. They pulled each others hair. And they had actually been hitting each other.
It all started when Chloe found out there was money missing. Money from their collective household account. She was paying the bills when she noticed it. She had called the girls together to discuss it. They had accused each other and from there it had spiralled out of control.
They first had pointed at Cynthia Rose. She was the addict. Cynthia Rose didn't take it well and had punched Flo who was the closest to her. Flo had pulled her hair. Stacie and Jessica tried to stop the fight. But when they got punched they joined the fight.
When a chair went through the window, their neighbours had called campus security. They arrived ten minutes after the call. By then the front yard of the Bella's house was covered in clothes, furniture and personal stuff.
The five security guys struggled to break the ten women apart. And after an hour they finally managed to get the situation under control. They were tired to respond on these calls. It was the third time this week that's they had to come here. So they gave the Bella's two options.
The first option was that would work on their internal communication. And that they learned to live with each other in peace. The second option was that they would kicked out of their house if they didn't chose the first option.
They realised they had a problem. They needed to work on their team spirit. And maybe it wasn't a bad idea to bond. So they choose the first option.
They booked a weekend away at a retreat. And they were in for a big surprise. When they arrived they were greeted by nobody else than their former captain Aubrey Posen. Chloe who had booked the retreat neglected to mention that Aubrey runned it.
And that led to another fight before they even knew what was expected of them this weekend. The sound of a whistle followed by a warning shot stopped them.
Aubrey yelled at the girls. Making them feel guilty. They were not the Bella's she had left behind. When she was the captain, she regularly planned in bonding nights. And other activities. She told them how disappointed she was in them.
After Aubrey's rant they learned that the had to do together this weekend. None of them looked forward to it. Normally they got at each others throat easily. Let alone if they had to spend a weekend together. But Aubrey refused to listen to their complaints.
She led them to a field. Their first task was to build two tents. And they needed to be standing before the sun would be gone. Aubrey showed them the materials. She left them but not before warning them for the bear traps.
