Beca was in her dorm she had been working on a mix when she fell asleep, music blasting in her ears she woke up to someone poking her deciding whether or not to ignore it the culprit spoke.
"Beca wake up" Great Beca thought what does he want she thought as she sat up to face her dad. "Funny this doesn't look like your intro to philosophy" He said wanting to know why she was playing hooky.
"Well i'm posing a philosophical question if i go to that class will it still suck" She retorted walking over to her closet.
"Beca, I..why look I see people at college making memories everyday" He said trying to convince her to join in.
"You can make memories in other places as well dad" Beca bit back, earning a firm look in return Kimmy Jin slightly turned to look at the pair from her desk before turning back.
"Have you even made any friends" He asked, he knew she wasn't the most sociable person, but it was nice took make friends at college to share memories with.
"Yeah, Kimmy Jin is my friend" She said to which Kimmy Jin shook her head no, great Beca thought.
"Beca.." Darren said getting a little annoyed with his daughter.
"I got a job at the radio station" She said, hoping he'd be satisfied with this and leave her, alone.
"What, those three weirdos in a room who do what"? He said, at least she was joining in, in something even though he would prefer something else.
"Well four now" Beca retorted, gesturing to herself.
"Alright let's make a deal, you start going to your lessons join in one club keep this up for a month and i will help you get to LA" He said, Beca didn't know whether he was just trying to get her to do what he wanted, but she couldn't turn down this opportunity.
"Seriously" She asked, one month I can do that she thought as Darren nodded his head reassuringly then they shook on it.
Beca set about getting stuff ready for a shower, she hadn't had one since she arrived that was three days ago turning back round to see her father still there, looking up at him she knew what was coming.
"So, have you eaten today" He asked, making it sound casual which only made Beca more annoyed why couldn't he just lay off she thought, it was her body if she doesn't want to eat then why should she.
"Yes I have" Beca said, not keeping eye contact with him she wasn't lying to him she had eaten she just got sick afterwards.
"Beca, look at me now please" He said, with a hint of frustration.
Huffing in annoyance Beca looked up to her dad, keeping eye contact this time.
"Yes I have eaten today, happy" She said, hoping now he would lay off and leave her be even though she knew that would be a miracle.
"Thank you, and yes I am happy Beca what was it you ate" Probably pushing her a little too far but he was just curios to what it was.
"Urrghh, what is this 21 questions fine i had an egg muffin sandwich with water" With that she walked out the room to avoid any further questioning, she only managed half the sandwich then ended up sick because of it.
Beca walked into the showers having finally gotten away from her dad, Beca did love her dad and she knew he only wanted what's best for her but, she just wished he'd lay off and stop bugging her about if she had eaten or not, in her opinion she shouldn't eat much if not at all before coming to college she put weight on which annoyed her, she needed to get down to 72 lbs or less she was currently 90 lbs.
Walking into a stall, turning on the shower and letting the water run till it got warm she started to sing, she wouldn't really admit to anyone she sang she used to all the time but then stuff happened that she'd rather not think about, and she stopped she started singing again not long before college, but it was still a rare occasion.
"I'm bulletproof..." Sanf Beca before she was interrupted.
"YOU CAN SING!" Shouted someone, who turned out to be the red haired girl from the activities fair.
"Dude" Beca said, pulling the shower curtain close to cover her body.
"How high does your belt go" The girl asked, turning off the shower not bothering to cover her netherlands.
God she looks hot Beca thought, almost slipping on the floor.
"My what" Beca said, having just about recovered from her almost embarrassment.
"You were singing titanium" What, Beca thought did she just hear correctly.
"You know David Guetta" Beca asked, surprised that someone into accapella knew of him.
"Yeah, of course I know David Guetta have i been living under a rock" She replied, Beca smiled slightly. "That song is my jam, my lady jam" The girl winked at Beca.
"Thats gross" Beca said, pulling a face of too much information.
"Will you sing it for me" Asked the redhead, like she had not just given information beforehand.
"Dude no, get out" Beca said, as much as she would like to help this hot redhead she wasn't like that is she was her girlfriend then of course.
"Not for that reason, i'm not leaving until you sing" The girl said back, tapping her foot waiting patiently eventually Beca gave up and started to sing.
I'm bulletproof nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away.
Then the redhead joined in and it was perfect harmony.
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down
But i won't fall i am titanium
You shoot me down but i won't fall
I am titanium.
Finishing the song Beca smiled, wow she thought that sounded amazing.
"I'm Chloe, by the way" Chloe said having not introduced herself beforehand.
"Beca" Beca replied back, wonder if i'll see her again she thought.
"You have a lovely voice" A guy said, peeking out from behind the curtain.
What she has a boyfriend, Beca thought although she wasn't surprised who wouldn't want her she seemed nice looked nice all you could want she thought.
"Thanks" Beca said, not meaning for it to come out as sharp as it sounded. "I still need to shower" She said quietly, not meaning to be rude but she really did need to.
"Oh sorry, see you at auditions" Chloe said, and with that she walked off dragging the guy behind her.
Well that was interesting, thought Becca as she got back to her shower.
Great she thought just great, she was late to the auditions her dad wanted to have lunch but when she said she had something on he tried to get her to cancel but she refused so he decided to turn up early, which didn't help any as they had an argument because she only ate half of her sandwich, Beca just said she wasn't hungry which was the truth and she was on a diet.
Beca stood in the doorway watching everyone start to move, oh it's over I was rather looking forward to this she thought as she saw Chloe spot her and tell everyone there was one more, gesturing for Beca to come on stage.
Beca awkwardly walked on stage as everyone watched her, a group of boys sat at the top gave her weird looks what does this not look good oh is because I look fat i know i don't need reminding she thought.
"Uh, hi I didn't know we had to prepare anything" She said having heard someone singing Kelly Clarkson Since You've Been Gone as she neared the building.
"That's okay, sing anything you want" Chloe said, settling back into her chair eyes on the brunette on stage.
"Um can i borrow that" beca asked, gesturing to the cup on the desk holding some pens.
Chloe nodded her head in assurance, Beca took the cup emptying its contents and started making a beat with it then she sang.
I got my ticket for the long
Way round. Two bottles of
Whiskey for the way
Chloe watched in astonishment, wow she thought how this she do that and her voice is still amazing so i wasn't dreaming, Aubrey on the other hand was pretentious well her voice is amazing but those ear monstrosities are a no no they will have to go, she thought when Beca finished she smiled at the pair and walked off stage spotting Jesse sat next to Benji who she had met after their first shift at the station.
Beca was changing into her gym clothes, she hadn't hit the gym in a while so she intended to get some exercise, walking towards the room she spotted Luke in the gym lifting weights wow Beca thought those muscles and abs i would kill for those, Luke spotted her looking at him and smiled at her not a hello smile a knowing smile well he thought he knew she was gay so he was out of luck.
"Hey Becky, what brings you here" Luke asked, taking a swig of his water.
Wasn't it obvious Beca thought, she was in the gym so she was going to work out like he was well not exactly, she had no upper body strength atall so weights were a no no.
"Uhh, to work out" She replied, starting to do some stretches to warm up her body.
"You don't need to work out" Luke said, wondering why she did he guessed to stay healthy, but he thought she could eat some more.
"I do, part of my diet plan and exercising is good for you wou'd know" she replied, gesturing to his abs.
"Right fair enough, but please be careful you know what i mean" Luke said, not wanting to be rude but he didn't want this to turn into something unhealthy.
"What do you mean, i am careful i know how to do it safe i read the instructions on the diet plan it's a seafood diet, I eat salmon mostly I exercise only drink water" She said , leaving out the part where she would not eat for a day.
"Okay, okay well i've gotta get going see you for your shift" Luke said, and with that he left leaving Beca alone.
Walking over to the treadmill, she started it on a low speed to warm up before turning it up till she was struggling to keep up, after five minutes of running she moved over to the mats to do more stretching, ab, thigh and calf workouts finishing with some star jumps then heading to her dorm to get stuff to shower.
Returning from the showers beca was sat at her desk seeing what she could eat next she decided not to as she needed to lose weight faster and when she looked at herself in the mirror she saw a little too much fat there for her liking.
She was about to start work on a mix when a bag was placed over her head, Beca started to panic she wasn't a fan of the dark she hated not being able to see, for reasons she wouldn't voice.
After a while the bag was taken off her head, and Beca found herself in a room lit with lots of candles and other girls standing in a line. Aubrey had finished announcing who was a Soprano, Mezzo and an Alto Beca was an alto.
"Now for the Bella's oath repeat after me I sing your name" Aubrey said, silently hoping they would not actually say that.
All of the Bella's sang there name, or rather screeched her name.
"Promise to fulfill the duties and responsibilities of a Bella woman" Continued Aubrey, stopping so the Bella's could repeat.
"And I solemnly promise never to have sexual relations with a Treble Maker, or may my vocal cords be ripped out by wolves." Gee Beca thought, not that she would anyway.
"Now you will drink the blood, of the sister's before you" Aubrey said, as Chloe walked over with a glass full of red liquid standing in front of Beca first.
"What no" Beca said, I thought this was an accapella group not some cult she thought.
"Don't worry, it's boones farm" Chloe whispered, to which Beca took a sip as this was not in her diet plan.
"You are all Bella's now" Aubrey said, after everyone took a sip of the 'blood' everyone started cheering and the lights came on, the girl standing next to Beca was jumping up and down exactly Beca joined her in a more subtle way.
Aubrey and Chloe lead the girls to aca initiation night, a party for all the new acapella members Beca spotted Jesse as he walked over to her.
"Because, hiii" He said, swaying slightly.
"Hi, Jesse you're really drunk right now. She said, smiling at him as he smiled back.
"No i'm not, you're just blurry" He said, as he fell back slightly when Beca pushed him.
"Shame about Benji" Beca said, having heard that he didn't make it she already hated Bumper the leader of the Treblemakers that Jesse was a member of.
"I know, poor thing i'll go get you a drink" jesse said, starting to turn around to get Beca a drink.
"I'm okay thanks, I don't really drink" Beca said, so Jesse said he'd just get soda.
"Here, if it's spiked it wasn't me okay" Jesse said, and with that he walked off Beca was now a little tentative to drink it so she just decided to tip out it's contents, not that she'd drink it anyway.
Beca saw Chloe Dancing and smiled at her, CHloe saw Beca standing on her own and went over to her pulling her close.
"We are gonna be great friends" She said, Beca could tell she was drunk but that didn't bother her.
"Yeah" Beca said, almost getting lost in her eyes.
"Come dance with me" Chloe said, not waiting for a response as she dragged Beca down the steps to dance.
If Beca was honest, she was happy to be dancing mostly because a hot redhead was moving up against her. Beca stayed there most the night, leaving to help Aubrey get a drunk Chloe home, Aubrey said her thanks and to see her at practise.
Beca walked back to her dorm feeling exhausted, when she got there she didn't bother with her pj's she just took off her shoes, jacket, pants and bra and snuggled under the covers falling into a blissful sleep.
