Chapter 1: New neighbor

Beca is 15 years old. Not exactly 15 years, to be accurate she is 14 years 10 months 3days. Currently living in Georgia, Atlanta with her dad Harry Mitchell and her step mom Sheila Mitchell. It's a spring so she's spending her decent morning and here she goes.

" Beca ! Beca. Wake up. It's almost 9:00. You should be get ready and having breakfast with us right now." Her dad enters into her room and open the window curtains widely so morning rays can light her room.

"And what after then dad? You are gonna go for office. What should I suppose to do is lay here all time so please do not bother me." Beca says annoyingly.

"Come on beca. Go out make some friends. Enjoy your holidays. Do adventure with your friends." Harry said while seating on her bed and forcing her up into sitting position.

"Jesse's my friend." Beca says pointed out.

Yeah sure Jesse is her best friend rather than only friend. Beca is Not that type of person who made friends. She loves being alone. Exception is Jesse only. Jesse is her neighbor for last five years. Not that they were getting along from their first encounter. But Jesse pushes too hard her and when she realized that Jesse is not backing out then she decided to give him a chance. Letter she found herself like his company. He is smart, goofy, loves movie a lot and only one who can bear her sarcasm. Well his part of liking movie make her hate him but what else she could do now.

"Yeah. Yeah. I know. But you need more friends. And besides you and he always locked in this room never do anything else. I mean how you two don't get bore?" He says little bit confusingly not sure of himself.

"Uughhh... you know what I hate you." Unable to close her eyes again because of morning rays brighten her room completely. So late for sleeping again now. She have no other choice but only listen to her dad and of course her dad is not going to leave her alone until she wake up. After all it's not her first time though. Finally she caved.

"I am waiting for you. Please hurry up and get ready in 20 minutes" her dad says standing up and ready for leaving her room after satisfying she is fully woke up Now.

Beca gets ready and join Her parents for breakfast.

"So what are you going to do today?" Sheila asks with smiling brightly hoping she gets a straight answer.

"Well I don't know. Maybe if you are going to be home then I'll be in my bedroom cursing you probably Jesse will like to give me company." Beca muttered without looking at Sheila.

Sheila only shifts uncomfortably in her chair maybe she was hoping for to much. Before her dad can scold Beca door bell rings. Oh dear there is a God beca thoughts. She quickly shoves her plate and runs to open the door. She knows who could be other side of door Jesse of course. She grab his hand and quickly disappeared into her bedroom. Her parents only shook their heads. Within seconds they can heard door close.

"You save my butt there, Jesse. Thank you." Beca says catching her breath.

"Now what have you done?" Jesse says half glaring her tries to make his face neutral but only to fail.

"What I didn't do anything." Beca says with fake innocent face.

"If you say so." Jesse says knowing argue against her is useless and he is here for another reason."whatever I want your favour." Asking nervously.

"Are you okay? You look like you are going to vomit on my face" Beca worryingly says. Jesse never act like this way unless he wants something very badly.

"Do you know there are new neighbors are leaving. They just shift here two days ago.I have seen them they look nice peoples... I mean nice family husband and wife with daughter And I'm am wondering if you want to greet them. I mean we will get another company. Actually I've meet her just now when I was on my way here. She is awesome you know she loves music too and she is going to same school with ... What do you say?" Jesse says hesitantly.

Beca is caught off guard with this new information. Wow how she didn't know about new neighbors well it's not matter because she hardly leaves her room. She tried to remember who was her previous neighbors oh yeah Mr. Hudson. How could she forget. She and Jesse has broken their Windows like hundred times while playing baseball and they have been grounded from since NO allowed to play baseball.

"Well you know Jesse I don't like to make friends." Beca tried to reason.

"But you didn't try once. I mean look at me I'm your friend too. You give me chance. Give her chance too. Let's think about it we three can play whatever we want I mean it's quite boring to play between only two of us, no offense. Besides she seems really cool." Jesse counteracts.

"I don't know. I mean what I'm going to say ' hey, I'm your neighbor. Wanna join us we particularly do nothing other than just sit on our butt in our room all the day. So what do you say?' And then she is gonna kick our asses never ever going to speak with us again. " Beca rambles. Before she is going to continue they heard a knocks in door. She rolled her eyes and reaches to the door knob assumes it should be her dad saying goodbye before he goes for office. She swung opens a door." I told you dad you don't have to come here to check me and also you can go whenever you want don't do formalities like goodbye and hie whatever..." then silence filled the room because there is not her dad but her eyes meets the bluest pair of eyes. She forgets to breathe. Only one voice brings her back.

" why are you so silence bec?" He got up and stands behind the Beca to see them neighbor girl whom he met few minutes ago. He just stand there not knowing what to do. He is about to say something to break the silence he see girl's lips are moving. He is now thanking his lucky stars because he knew whatever he was going to say is only going to make it more awkward. So he just stay quiet and patiently listening to girl.

"Hie there, I am Chloe.. Chloe beale" stretching out her one hand for greeting but they didn't react so she just stand there awkwardly looking back and forth between both of them "umm.. your parents let me in and I'm here new so thought I should make some friends. So wanna be friends" hoping one of them could initiate.

Fortunately, Jesse make move comes forward and shakes Her hand gently, "hie, I know you we met outside. I'm Jesse I just leave one block away from your she is beca as you know she leaves here."

" ...Chloe?" Beca says awkwardly shakes her hands with Chloe's "come inside"

" Thank you,Beca." She enters in her room scanning room locates one chair and sits there.

"Yeah right make yourself comfortable. Sit wherever you want." Beca says rolling her eyes.

" so what do you do to spend the day?" Chloe says excitedly.

" we just sit here,sometimes watch movies but Beca don't like movies so we avoid it most of the time, our common interest is in music so we talk about it Beca meshes some songs with each other. That's what we do and survive." Jesse says proudly.

"Why you don't like movies. I like watching movies. We decided one night for movie night it's fun. And I also like music. Music is my remedy. I do wanna listen your mashups if you let me" facing to brunette. Why she is so silent. Is she going to say something or not.

After very long pause Beca finally opens her mouth, "yeah sure you can. And answer to your first question movies are predictable. I never make it till the end I usually sleep before the interval" Beca says casually.

"No way, endings are the best part." Chloe says

"Exactly what I say." Jesse says.

Beca just shrug it off. Opens her laptop and play one of her mesh up. As music plays mixture of ' titanium and I saw the sign' as it finished. Beca look in Chloe's eyes then then towards Jesse for getting some kind of response but they remain silent." So how is it? " she says finally.

"How is it? Seriously it's amazing. You know titanium is my lady jam." Chloe says excitedly

" it's really good one but you let her listen your mashup after 15 minutes of introduction where I have to wait for 2 months for listen your first mashup. No offense." Jesse says immediately after Chloe has finished.

" none taken, Jesse but make yourself habit of this as things are going to change here soon." Chloe winks at beca.

"Stop being baby, Jesse. So you are from?" Beca says while Jesse huffs and sits on edge of bed.

"I leave at tempa but my father gets transfer here. So here I am." Chloe says. She never thought about leaving her home,her grandparents, her friends. It makes her sad. Her eyes fills with tears sparkles her eyes.

"Hey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to." Beca says feeling guilty.

"Hey, we are here for you. Don't feel sad." Jesse tries to comforting her.

"Yeah thanks guys. I'm okay though. Umm.. I have to leave now. I have lots of things to do as we are just moved here 2 days ago.I'll see you around you two." Chloe wipes her tears and walk towards the also walks behind her towards the door to close it after redhead. Suddenly Chloe grab her by hands leans "we're gonna be really fast friends."Chloe says. Beca just nodded quickly and shut the door behind Chloe.

"Soo..." Jesse teases

"She is cool." Beca smiles widely.

"I told you so." Jesse says proudly.
