I was tackled and pushed up against a nearby tree, before I even realized what was happening. I tried to fight back but-
"It's too late Bec. By now you would have been dead or taken."
"Jesus Kayla! You scared the living shit out of me!" She let me down, and looked at me disapprovingly.
"Good. Maybe now you will pay attention to your surroundings. What if it hadn't have been me? You could have been hurt before I could have even gotten here. You need to be more careful Beca."
"Yeah, Yeah I know Kayla. I'm sorry I was just a little distracted."
"Clearly." She crossed her arms across her chest. "Alright I'm sorry. What's got you so distracted?"
I looked down. How was I supposed to tell her what was distracting me when I didn't even know myself? I couldn't get Aubrey and that red head out of my mind. I didn't even know what the red head's name was. She looked so excited at the prospect of me joining her singing group, even though we had just met. Aubrey looked like she was going to kill me if I joined her singing group. I knew there was no way I could pull off joining a club with that much of a time demand. I can't risk it.
"Uh Beca?" My head snapped up.
"What?"
"What's up with you? You were just staring at the ground, grinning your ass off. Don't lie to me Bec. I can read you like an open book." She grinned.
"I... uh... I just was thinking. You know I went to the activities fair?"
"Yeah. Spit it out Bec."
"I was stopped by two girls asking me to join their a capella group." I looked down again.
"And you wanted to join? A capella doesn't seem like your thing."
"No I don't want to join. I just couldn't get our meeting out of my head. And before you ask I don't know why. I just can't stop thinking about it."
"Uh huh. Okay, I guess you will just have to keep thinking about it until you figure that out then now won't you?" She smirked. "Let's get you back to your dorm shall we?"
We turn and head back to my room. We traveled in silence, both of us lost in our own thoughts. I knew Kayla could see something I couldn't, but I also knew she wasn't going to outright tell me what she thought. She was going to make me figure it out by myself. I had a sudden realization, and it hit me so hard that I didn't realize I had spoken out loud.
"I want to get to know her better."
"Get to know who better?" She never misses a beat. It's almost as if she could read my mind.
"Aubrey. One of the girls at the a capella booth. I think I want to get to know her better."
"You think?" She was grinning now.
"Don't push me Kay." I stuck my tongue out at her. Suddenly, I was in a head lock.
"I knew you would figure it out baby sister. I am soo proud of you." She practically oozed sarcasm.
"Yeah, yeah shut up." I slapped her arm away, grinning.
"Come on, we better get you back to Kimmy Jin. You know she is probably worried sick about you." We entered my building and headed up to my floor. My thoughts drifted back to the blonde. Something about her held me in front of that booth, and I was determined to figure out what it was. Wait! What if-
"Kayla, how do you know if you're gay?"
"Uh what?" That seemed to catch her off guard, which was a rare sight. The confused look on her face was one I had only seen a handful of times. It was quite rewarding.
"How. Do. You. Know. If. You. Are. Gay."
"Don't talk to me like I am stupid Bec. I heard what you said. I'm just curious as to what brought this on?"
"I was just thinking-"
"About this Aubrey person." She interrupted.
"Yeah. And I was thinking about what-"
"Held you there and made you want to stick around and listen to that a capella pitch they were spouting?" I stopped in front of my door, shot a glare at Kayla and crossed my arms across my chest.
"Why do you ask me questions you already know the answer to?"
"Because it's interesting to see your face when you try to act pissed at me." She smirked and placed her hands on her hips. "By all means continue with your explanation."
"Well, what if what held me there was... an attraction... or something to her? What if I am into her?" Kayla leaned against the wall next to my door.
"Well it seems to me your question has changed Bec." I looked down.
"Kayla, don't patronize me."
"Okay look, if you are into her I want you to go for it. But you need to realize the kind of danger you would be putting her in."
"So basically you want me to go for it, but not go for it as well." I said, defeated.
"Hey, I don't want to keep you out of having a normal relationship." She grabbed my chin and made me look at her. "Go for it Bec. I will do everything in my power to make sure you and her stay safe. I promise." She released my chin and smiled. "There's nothing I want more than for you to be happy."
"Thanks Kay." I grinned.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't mention it. Look go in there," she gestured at the door, "and make friends with your new roommate. I can't have her trying to kill you too." I hit her shoulder.
"You really know how to ruin a bonding moment don't you?"
"What can I say?" She shrugged. "I like to keep it real. Now look I need to go set up a place for me to stay for the year. Just go in there, make some friends, and I'll be close by if you need me." She kissed the top of my head, and was off.
I opened the door and was immediately met with a glare. Well, this was going to be one great year. I sighed, sat down at my computer, and put on my headphones, effectively shutting out the world. I continued mixing until early morning, and passed out.
A/N I hope no Bechloe shippers out there totally hate me right now. Don't worry for this story Bechloe is endgame. Leave me a review and let me know what you think so far :)
