Beca was the new kid at school, it was her first day and she already hated it. People glared at her whenever she walked down a corridor, and some laughed. She had a horrible start in her life, her mum called her a 'mistake' and her dad walked out when she was 6.
Chloe, a red head, caught a glimpse of Beca. Knowing that she probably would've had a hard time in the past. Even though Chloe was pretty spoilt, she was caring and never looked down on others. Beca was on her way to her next class when a tall, brunette shoved past her, knocking everything out of her hands. This girl didn't even stop… Chloe stood there shocked. She ran over to Beca and quickly helped her pick up everything that had dropped. Chloe looked up, seeing a sad face in front of her.
"Thank you", Beca whispered as she took her things from Chloe.
Chloe was feeling sorry for Beca. "You shouldn't be walking around alone like that". Beca didn't respond, but she gave her a half smile in return.
Chloe quickly introduced herself. "Hey, I'm Chloe Beale, what class do you have right now?"
"Um, English", Beca replied quietly.
"Oh really? Me too, walk with me?", Chloe reached for Beca's hand, pulling her up from the ground.
Beca awkwardly took Chloe's hand. "Thanks" Beca whispered. Chloe was nice… Beca wondered why she would want to help her. Chloe smile at Beca. Not knowing why people would want to bully someone like her.
They entered the classroom and Beca immediately made her way to the back of the classroom and sat down. Chloe quickly ran towards Beca. Sitting down at the desk right beside hers. Beca saw Chloe sit down, she was grateful that someone actually acknowledged her, without making fun. Chloe smiled. She saw the boy in front of Beca turned around and give Beca a frown. Beca looked down and shifted awkwardly in her seat. Tears sprung to her eyes. The teacher had started the lesson ages ago, but Beca simply couldn't concentrate. Mainly because she knew the note everyone was passing around was about her. When Chloe received the note, she immediately stood up and walked to the teachers desk, handing it to her.
The teacher took a glimpse at it and took note… she ignored it for now, but she had a word with the people she knew had something to do with the note. Halfway through the class, they were told to get into partners.
Chloe stared at Beca and whispered, "partner?"
"Don't you wanna go with your friends?" Beca whispered back.
Chloe shook her head. "No, I can't leave you alone".
"That's how I usually am" Beca mumbled. "Alright" Beca moved up in her seat to make room for Chloe. Chloe stood up and dragged her chair over next to Beca's. Looking back at the board. "You deserve everything but being that lonely". Chloe whispered.
Beca heard every word and thought she had literally dreamed it. Beca smiled slightly. "I'm Beca by the way, I didn't tell you my name" Beca whispered awkwardly and her face went red almost immediately.
"Beca! Nice name!" Chloe turned and smiled.
"Thanks"
Chloe turned to see the teacher giving them instructions to what they were going to be doing. They had to analyse a piece of writing and prepare a short presentation some would be picked to present theirs. Chloe thought that Beca looked like a girl who would be really good at writing. Turned out she was right, she looked through the notes that Beca made a few minutes ago and it was really good.
Chloe was laughing. "I was just thinking about you being a good writer".
Beca looked awkwardly at the redhead and then smiled slightly. "Thanks…I guess" Beca said quietly.
Chloe ripped out a piece of paper from her book and started putting Beca's ideas into sentences. When Chloe was done, Beca sole a glance over the script and nodded. "Good", Beca said quietly.
The teacher called out to their group that they had to present first. Beca's heart literally rose into her mouth, she hated anything like this. She actually felt like she wanted to cry. Chloe already stood up, so Beca decided it wasn't fair on Chloe to do it alone, so she stood up with her and followed Chloe to the front of the class. Chloe could tell Beca was nervous.
"Just keep looking at the back wall".
It was going well, Beca thought, well Chloe was doing well. But when it was her turn, she received a lot of sniggers and people were whispering. Chloe looked over at the teacher. The teacher told everyone to keep quiet. The boy that glared at Beca when she first came in, threw a piece of paper at Beca when she dodged. Beca dashed out of the room and ran down the hall. Chloe ran after Beca, seeing her sitting there by herself crying made Chloe feel emotional. Chloe sat down next to Beca and gave her a hug. Beca turned.
"Why are you being so nice to me?", Chloe could hear Beca's sad voice.
"Why wouldn't I, your amazing!", Chloe was smiling.
Chloe hugged Beca again… This time Beca hugged Chloe back.
