Dearest diary (or however you're supposed to start these things)
Do I introduce myself in these things? I have no idea how to use diaries, but I think I'll introduce myself.
My name is Chloe Beale and I'm a senior at Barden University as of today. I'm majoring in psychology, and the only club I'm in is the Barden Bellas, but that's okay because I think it's probably the best club on campus. Singing and dancing to chart toppers? Hello? Not to mention I'm one of the co-captains now because everyone's graduated and no one really wants to be in the club because of Aubrey, but we don't talk about that.
I haven't owned a diary since grade 7, and I didn't even really keep it up back then. I actually read through it a few days ago, and I think I primarily wrote about some guy named Brian who I had, like, this gigantic crush on, and about a week later, I scrawled "I hate my life no one loves me" all over the page, so I'm guessing Brian rejected me or something? I don't know. I wouldn't know because I never wrote in that diary again. But that's about the extent of my experience with diaries.
Aubrey told me that keeping a diary was supposed to be relaxing or releasing or something, but she's always stressed and she keeps a diary so who knows if this will actually work or not? And it's not even like I'm that stressed. School's pretty difficult sometimes, but honestly, it's more fun than not and I've met a lot of great people so far.
I'm rambling. Okay. So, speaking of meeting great people, today's the first day of school being in session, which means the activities fair was today. Aubrey's determined to build this perfect team of ladies who are thin and can sing and dance well, but in all honesty, I think the most important thing is them having good personalities and being able to sing. Last year, the Bellas were all thin and attractive, sure, but their personalities were about as thin as they were and I didn't have the greatest time ever because of it. Neither did Aubrey, as she proved in the ICCA's…but we don't talk about that.
This is going to sound pretty silly after I just made fun of my past self having a crush on someone, but I met someone today at the activities fair. I don't know her name or anything, but I'd like to? (If it wasn't evident enough, I suck at expressing my feelings through writing in diaries)
I mean, I'm pretty sure Aubrey hated her because she didn't fit into the whole "Bellas mold" she's been raving to me about for the past three weeks, but I'm pretty sure she's the coolest girl I've ever met. I mean, Aubrey called her a bitch, and she held her ground, which I think is pretty impressive because Aubrey can be kinda scary sometimes.
But my god, she was adorable. I was sort of freaking out in me and Aubrey's dorm room about her for about an hour (she said something about NASA being able to spot my toner from Saturn? I have no idea.) and I don't know why. I've had crushes before, and I probably sound like every girl ever, but this one's different. She's different. I hope she shows up for auditions next week. I'm not even sure if she can sing (or if she even swings my way) but I don't know how else I could contact her or see her because Barden's huge and there are way too many people here to be able to find someone like her.
I don't know what to write about otherwise. I guess I'm actually pretty worried about the Bellas right now (not as much as Aubrey, but still) but I'm fairly confident that we can find 8 girls who can sing and dance and hopefully don't know about Aubrey's incident at the ICCA's in this huge school.
Aubrey was right, writing in a diary is kind of releasing.
Love always,
Chloe
