I was going to think of an excuse to protest but Beca was smiling too sweetly. I nodded and went out, thinking that maybe Luke is Beca's ideal kind of guy. However, deep down, I still hoped Beca liked me, at least more than just friends. She should know by now that I have feelings for her, it should not take a very very bright person to see that.
Campus life is really fun, especially with the Treblemakers. The rehearsals, well, we don't rehearse, we basically just hang out at the Treble House. Now, I totally understand why Benji wanted to join the trebles so much. These dudes are cool. I've like most of them, most as in all except one. The one is Bumper. He has this stuck-up attitude and thinks he is better than us. Basically, he looks down on us. Donald, the rapper, is the nicest, to me at least. He is friendly and cheerful and will talk to me about our problems.
It became a routine. Everyday, I will take my classes, go and stack CDs with Beca (My favorite activity), then, I would go to the Treble House. Beca just seems not to take much interest in me. But I know better, I am sure deep in her, she likes me a lot. She's just those girls that did not want to show it. It is always the same until one day, I decided to take a huge step forward on Beca and me's relationship.
When she was sitting on the grass working something on her computer, her headphones on, she looked beautiful as always. I took a deep breath, if I succeed, maybe we could start dating; if I don't… Well, I think I would be back where I am now. I told myself to remain calm and walk towards her. "Hey weirdo!" I called out. Way to go, Jesse, look how you started. Not cool, man. I pushed the thoughts off my mind and walked towards her, placing a towel on the grass. Beca took off her headphones and replied with a hi. "Look Beca, I really enjoy stacking CDs with you, I really do. More than life," I began, taking a pile of movie DVDs out from my bag," So, I think we could do other fun thing that does not make us want to kill ourselves, right?" I then took two juice pouches out of my bag and threw one at her. "So, I brought some movies: Jaws, Rocky, The Breakfast Club… The best sound tracked movies of all time," I said with a smile, I just love movies," That is what I want to do. I want to score movies. So which one first?" At this moment, Beca was avoiding my gaze, sucking at her juice pouch silently. She turned and asked," How about we do something else?" Why? Does she not like movies or something? I asked her and to my big surprise, she answered," No, they are fine, they just bore me before it gets to the ending."
It turned out that Beca is skilled at predicting endings of movies. "But the ending is the best part!" I exclaimed. After a while, I knew this was my big chance. I said, "You need a movie education. A movie-cation, and I am going to give it to you." Beca muttered something about Bella's rehearsal. Something clicked in my mind, I asked her, "Are you guys getting ready for the riff-off?"
