A/N: Hey everyone! I'm Bianca, you can call me B! This first chapter is just going to be the start of the movie basically just so the characters can meet and get situated. A lot of the story though will not be like the movie, and will be mostly different. Hope that is okay! :) Let me know if you have any questions, or comments. Would love to here from you. Beca and Chloe may take some time to get together but I think the build up makes it more exciting!

Talk to you soon.

B

Beca slammed shut the trunk of the taxi and rolled her suitcase to the side walk.

"That will be $20 miss!"

"Here, keep the change" She threw the money in the passenger seat and walked to a girl directing students.

"Well hello there! My name is Emily, and welcome to Barden University!"

"Hey, where is uh...Wright Hall?"

"Just walk past that building on the left and turn right it will be right in front of you!"

"Thanks" Beca was not in the mood to make conversation with someone way too happy this early in the morning

Room 303 was exactly how Beca expected it; white walls, ugly tile floor, and a weird roommate.

"You must be Kimmy Jin" Beca tried to seem enthusiastic

"Yeah" Kimmy Jin looked over rolled her eyes and walked out of the room

"Well okay."

At least Beca got to be in the upper class dorms because of her father being a professor at the university. She wouldn't have to deal with all the girls gushing over the frat guys, and talking about how excited they were to start college. Beca was grateful that this hallway already sounded quiet enough.

She started to set up her music gear, the only possessions she really brought with her. Music was her way to get out her emotions, to say what she was feeling and to blank out any bullshit in her life.

"Knock Knock, coming in whether you like it or not"

"Dad, what if I was naked?"

"Who changed you when you were 2?"

"Whatever. How's the stepmonster?"

"She is great, thank you for asking."

"Dad, why am I here? I should be in LA. I should be at a studio making music that people care about."

"Beca, you are going to this school for free, I'm not letting my little girl go out to LA without some sort of education."

"You're saying I can go to LA?"

"Only you actually try here Beca, I mean it. I know I can't hold you hostage here forever, but I need to know I at least tried to put you through college. Go to the activities fair, find something you can enjoy. Who knows you may even find something you like, or someone" He added with a wink.

"Dad, eww. That is your cue to get out."

"What!? When you came out to me two years ago, I thought you were doing it because you had found a good girl. I'm proud of you Beca, but sometimes I just think you are lonely. You haven't brought a girl home yet since you came out. I'm starting to think you told me you were gay just to see how I would react."

"Nope, 100% gay, dad. And, I'm not lonely. Don't worry about me."

"I always will. Just know, if you find someone, I'm going to support you and may even go running sround with a pride flag."

"Seriously? Can you get any more embarrassing?"

"Alright, I get it I'm leaving. Go to the activities fair! Try for me Beca!"

"Leave now." Beca laughed as she closed the door.

The activities fair sucked so far. There was no way she was joining any of the groups that she saw.

"What about her?" She overheard a girl say behind her.

"Are you talking to me?"

"Hey! I'm Chloe, thats Aubrey. We are part of the Barden Bellas, we sing and make music just with our mouths!"

"What?" Beca tried to hide her laugh

"We are an acapella group, and I must say we are pretty good. You should come audition for us on Monday."

"Sorry, I don't sing. Thanks though" She couldn't help but realize that Chloe was really attractive. She was totally a girly girl though and probably would drive her crazy but she was cute and Beca was allowed to look

"Well, think about it. We would love to see you."

Didn't she just tell the girl she couldn't sing? Attractive yes, smart? The girl had some work to do.

Putting her towel down and stepping into the shower, Beca felt herself relax for the first time since arriving at Barden. She started humming the song that had been stuck in her head for the last two days and had to urge to sing it out loud. A few lines later she heard the curtain being drawn and immediately turned around.

"Dude, what the hell are you doing?" She tried to cover up as much as she could

"You can sing! You totally lied!"

"Whatever! Why are you in my shower? Ever heard of some privacy?"

"Oh I have nothing to hide" She posed, showing Beca her perfectly toned body.

"I don't care, you don't just come into people's showers like that."

"I'm not leaving until you sing and tell me you coming to audition"

"No! Get out!"

"Sing. Please? I'll leave and let you be."

Beca rolled her eyes but started to sing that song she had already been singing. Chloe joined in and harmonized perfectly with every note Beca sang. They may have two different personalities, but their music was definitely in sync. Beca always found it attractive when girls could sing and Chloe was no different.

"See, you would fit perfectly." Chloe snapped her out of her gaze

"Fine, I MAY come to audition. But, don't hold you breath"

"I'll take that answer. Enjoy your shower Bec!"

Beca looked into the auditorium while other students were auditioning for the acapella groups. They were singing "Since U Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson. Beca was not ashamed to admit that song used to blare from her car speakers when she was younger. But, she definitely wasn't singing that song.

She walked out on stage when everyone was done, to be greeted with a smile from Chloe

"You came!"

"Uh, yeah. But, I didn't know you had to prepare something and I really rather not sing that song."

"Oh, sing whatever you want."

"Yeah, sing what you want I guess." Aubrey definitely didn't like her and she knew it

"Can I borrow that cup?"

"Yeah sure?" Chloe seemed confused but handed Beca the cup with a smile

Beca let out a deep breath and sang the song she had been practicing ever since she saw the video of it on youtube. She couldn't help but look up to Chloe before she was done and even gave a small smile.

When she finished she was surprised every one started clapping and even Aubrey had a slight smile on her face. Maybe, she wasn't that bad after all.

Well, she did it. She was a Barden Bella now. More importantly, she was part of big girl group, all probably wanting to be her friend. She never had friends like this and she was worried she made a mistake. She wanted to focus on L.A. and being surrounded by a bunch of girls gossiping about the next reality show on TV wouldn't help her with her dream. But, her dad told her to try and she knew she had to.

A beep from her phone startled her as she looked down at the screen.

Practice 10am tomorrow at the gym. See you there :)

Ah, so Chloe is the girl who uses smileys in each text. Beca was not one of those people. This may be harder than she thought to get used to.

Got it.

Was her response.
