Chapter 1
The tears slowly made their way out of her eyes and down her cheeks, and she looked at herself in the mirror and said, "Nobody wants you, why be in a world that no one wants you in?" She looked over at where her roommate keeps her medication to help her sleep and remembers that she had some booze left over from a party...
Beca made her way up the elevator to move her things into her new dorm room and meet her new roommate. When she got into the room she saw that her roommate was Asian and prayed that she spoke any kind of English. After setting up her side of the room she spoke to her now glaring roommate, "Hi, my name is Beca." When she didn't get a response she spoke again, "Sorry. Ummmm... Do you speak any English?... Or just tell me where your at with English" And just when she thought she was going to get the name of her roommate her dad walked in.
"Hey Beca! When did you get here? How did you get here?" She chose to ignore the first question and answered his second question. "Took a cab. Didn't want to inconvenience you and Shelia." She had a bit more attitude in her voice when she said Sheila. She hated her step-mom. She's the one who took part in ripping apart her life at a young age. You see, Beca lived what she thought was a normal life, but soon realized that her parents yelling at each other every night wasn't normal. All the sudden her dad disappeared with a woman named Sheila and only spoke to her twice a month over the phone. So yeah you can say she wasn't the biggest fan of her.
Her roommate sighed loudly which brought her dads attention on her. "Hi, I'm Beca's dad, you must be her roommate." Her roommate spoke up in a monotone voice, "Yep that's me, the roommate. I'm Kimmy Jin." And with that she stood up and told Beca and her dad that she was going to go to the activities fair. Beca jumped at that idea just so she wouldn't have to talk to her dad, but just as she was going to walk out of her room her dad stopped her.
"Beca we need to talk."
Beca instantly knew what he was talking about, but decided to play dumb and not understand where he was going with the conversation. "What is there to talk about?" Her dad seemed to look at her and then at her laptop with her music mixing program still open and waiting to be used.
"Come on Beca you know what I'm talking about. You need to start being more serious about your future. This DJing thing isn't a profession its more like a hobby." And there it was. What she was trying to avoid.
"I'm not trying to be a DJ dad. I want to pursue a career in music, I want to be a music producer and college is only holding me back." She hated that her dad didn't understand what she wanted he only cared that she do what he wants and she is sick of it.
"Beca you do now your getting a free college tuition right? Why not take the opportunity to use college as an experience and see if you want to pursue something else more realistic." The fact that he put down her dream to be unrealistic pushed her over the edge and she just left the conversation and followed Kimmy Jin to the activities fair.
She walked around aimlessly for awhile deciding if she should actually join a club, then thought of how much time that would take away from her mixing and decided not to join a club. She continued to walk around anyways because she wasn't going to go back to her room and risk having to continue that conversation with her dad. When walking around she saw some weird things like deaf Jew club, the swim team that looked like they were wearing the bear minimum, and a few acapella groups that looked either stoned or too testosterone filled for her taste. When she began to become more bored by the second she was stopped when a flyer was shoved in her face by a red headed girl. The red head introduced herself as Chloe and Beca was immediately drawn to her and she didn't know why. Before Beca could get a word out a tall blonde chick that was standing next to Chloe stepped in front of her and asked to talk to Chloe privately for a quick second.
Beca swore she heard that blonde girl criticizing what Beca was wearing and her suspicions were confirmed when blondie turned around and glared at her. After their little conversation Chloe stared at Beca for what she thought was longer than necessary but then began to talk. "Do you want to join our acapella group? Its tons of fun and we sing cover songs without any instruments! Its all from our mouths." She was super bubbly and seemed to be really passionate about acapella but Beca didn't really have that much of an interest in acapella, she had more of an interest in Chloe. Her eyes were a startling blue and seemed to hypnotize Beca. She then thought she should stop staring and answer her.
- Chloe's POV -
Her and Aubrey thought they were never going to get any members by just standing idly by their both so she decided to take action. She saw a small brunette girl that had a rock like fashion sense and that intrigued her. She stepped in front of the girl and explained that they were an all girl acapella group. She couldn't seem to take her eyes off of the smaller girl and she didn't know why, she just had this feeling in her stomach. Just as she was going to explain a little more Aubrey stepped in front of the small brunette taking Chloe's view away and asked if she could talk to her.
"I know we are desperate for members but her? She just looks... too alternative for us" Aubrey then turned around and looked at the now scowling brunette.
"I think she looks fine for us and she looks like she can sing, plus she definitely has a bikini ready body." She noticed that she was staring at the small girl again but biting her lip at the same time.
"You better be right because I can already tell me and this girl are going to butt heads." With that she had Aubrey step aside so she could talk to the girl again and quickly realized that the girl was starting to stare. Just when she was about to speak again the girl shook her head seeming to snap out of some sort of trance and told her that she doesn't even sing. And with that she was gone. Chloe hoped she could run into her again because she wanted to see more of that girl and get to know her. Aubrey looked at her with confusion and asked, "What are you doing? Why are you smiling? We just lost another person we could have had on the team and your smiling?" That snapped Chloe out of her day dreaming and started to make a plan to find that girl.
