CHAPTER 4
-o0o-o0o-o0o-
"Glad to see that you decided to join us." Stacie said as they approached the door.
It was currently - Beca looked at her watch - 7:36pm and here they where. Standing outside, in the - surprisingly - warm night, outside of the auditorium they were meant to enter at 7:45pm with Stacie.
(Chloe decides that being early was never a bad thing.)
"Hey, yeah. We are too." Beca said.
Stacie looks down at her watch and looks at the time, then she looks back up at the duo and nods.
"You're early." Stacie stats matter-of-factly.
"Yeah, well Chloe thought that we should be. Punctuality, and all that, so..." Beca nods, shoving her hands in the pockets of her tight skinny jeans.
"It's an admirable quality." A voice says from the doorway of the building. The blonde step further out in to the light of the street lamps that are placed around campus. "Hi, I'm Aubrey Posen." The blonde says. She approaches and shakes Chloe's hand - well try's to - before Chloe pulls her into a hug. It seems that she decides that she shouldn't move any closer to Beca, in fear of her doing the same thing, and decides to move closer to Stacie and nod in acknowledgment toward Beca. Beca returns the gesture, thankful that she didn't try to shake her hand. (She finds it awkward and annoying.)
"I'm Chloe Beale," she points at herself, then points at Beca, "and this is-" she's cut off before she can introduce her roommate.
"Beca Mitchell" Aubrey says. She looks at Beca. "You're wearing less ear monstrosities and eye liner than in your audition." Aubrey notices.
"Yeah, I ... uh ... I had a good feeling about today. About what would happen today. So I lightened up, I guess." Beca says awkwardly, hands still buried deep in her pockets.
As they where talking, more of the newcomers showed up and decide to talk amongst themselves.
"How many invites did you get?" Stacie asks both of the girls in front of her.
"3."
"6."
Beca an Chloe spoke at the same time, making it difficult to determine what was said.
"Sorry, I got 3 and Beca got 6." She nods. "Umm, why?"
"Just wondering." Stacie says.
"We want to know how many you got so we can see who else wanted you. Chloe, who else?" Aubrey says.
"Umm, The High Notes and The BU Harmonics." Chloe answered.
"And Beca?" Aubrey asks.
"The High Notes, The BU Harmonics, The Bass, Filharmonics and Clef Notes, I think. I think that's what they were called." Beca says, unsure if she got the names correct.
"No that's right. So everyone apart from The TrebleMakers." Aubrey mutters an 'okay' under her breath but then looks at her watch to see that it is now quarter to 8. "Ready." Gaining a nod from both of the newcomers, Aubrey head inside, motioning for them to follow.
Once inside they see that the test of the band is already there. Aubrey tells them to stand in a line and they do, Beca and Chloe standing next to each other at one end.
"Okay, so the seven of you have chosen to join LGBTQ. We are glad that you did and we can't wait to get to know you. I'll introduce you all to the members we already have. I'm Stacie." She points to herself. Pointing to the blonde Beca and Chloe know as Aubrey, Stacie introduce them all one by one the same way, all saying hello to the new recruits as they are looked at. They are introduced to Cynthia-Rose, aka CR, Denise, Fat Amy, Flo, Lily, Jade and Jake, Angel, Sabrina, Wyatt and Franklin.
Each of the new recruits had to say their name, if they sing, all - if any - instruments they play and what they identify as. Each new person did so.
"I'm Ashley Williams, I sing but don't play any instruments. I'm gay and taken."
"Hi I'm Jesse Swanson. I sing and also don't play any instruments and I am engaged to this guy right here."
"Hi I'm his fiancé, Benji Applebaum. I sing and play trumpet. And you already know that I'm engaged to Jesse."
"Hey, I'm Jessica and I sing. I don't play an instrument. And I am Ashley's girlfriend."
"Hi. Emily Junk. Umm, I play violin. I sing and Jessica and Ashley are my girlfriends."
"I'm Chloe, and I sing. I play piano and a little guitar. I am intersex and and bisexual." This shocked a few people.
"Uhh ... Hey, I'm Beca. I ... uh ... I sing and I'm also intersex but I'm just gay. And I play ... Wait, all of them?"
"Yes Beca! All of them." Aubrey said, a hint of impatience in her voice.
"Okay, might as well, you're all going to find out eventually. Umm, I play Guitar, Piano, Violin, Drums, Cello, Saxophone and Flute. I play a little Clarinet and Bass Guitar-" Beca was cut off by Chloe.
"You do?"
"Yeah, I just started learning before we moved here."
"Wait! You play what?" Aubrey asked, shocked.
"Do I really have to say it again?" Beca asked. At this point the only people that she had looked at where Chloe and Aubrey. She used the chance that was presented when Aubrey remained silent to look at everyone else. They all had shocked expressions on their face and they all had furrowed brows of confusion.
"Bec, you missed the DJ software." Chloe whispered, though, in the silence, everyone heard.
"Okay, correct me if I'm wrong but you play 10 instruments and you DJ?"
"I can almost play 10 instruments. I'm in the process of learning Clarinet and Bass Guitar." Everyone is silent before Beca's phone rings. She takes it out of her pocket and sees the caller. "Umm, can I take this? It's my mom." When she gets no answer, she answers and walks out of the auditorium.
"Hey mom." Beca says. "What's up?"
"Hey Becs. It's the twins. I got Eli down but Mar is being difficult. Do you think you could get here quick?" Beca's mom, Kimberly, asked.
"I don't know mom, It's initiation night and I'm in the middle of it."
"That's tonight? I'm so sorry, incompletely forgot. Wait why are you on the phone with me if you're in the middle of it?"
"I told them, I told them about all the instruments that I play and they all went silent. So when you called, I asked and they didn't answer, and I took the call." Beca explained.
"I thought that you weren't going to tell them. What changed?"
"Chloe." Beca says and she hears her mother hum in agreement.
"The eyes?" Kim asked, knowingly.
"Yeah."
Crying was heard in the background of the phone and Beca spoke once more.
"Put me on speaker and I'll sing to her." At her mother's go ahead, she began singing.
Looking like today is something good.
The sun is shining on me like it should.
Don't know what no tomorrow's gonna bring.
But whatever it is I'm gonna sing.
Oh, my, what a wonderful feeling.
Oh, I, gotta be dreaming.
Feels so good, all I can do is smile.
Feels so good, all I can do is smile.
By the end of the lullaby Maria was asleep and laid down in her bed.
Beca heats a door close and her mother whisper through the phone. "Thanks Beca. Umm, I'll call you tomorrow and-"
"Don't bother. I'm coming over tomorrow and I will see you then. I'll probably stay for dinner, and Chloe night come as well."
"Okay. Bye then."
"Yeah, see you tomorrow. Bye." Beca says and Jung's up the phone. She looks at her watch and sees that it's now 8:20pm. She makes her way back into the auditorium.
"Who was it?" Chloe asked.
"My mom. She called about Mar. Couldn't sleep." Beca explained before Chloe and the chance to ask.
"Okay, so you play 8, almost 10 instruments and you Mix and Chloe said that you write song?" Aubrey asked.
"Uhh. Yeah."
"How?" Stacie jumps in.
Beca turns to Chloe. "You didn't tell them?" Chloe shakes her heard.
"I thought that you might want to." Chloe says apologetically.
"Uh, well. Okay. Umm, I'm a musical prodigy? Um. It basically means that I excel in all thing music, at above average rates. So, like when I learn and instrument, it's easy because i can hear it once and play it." Beca explains.
"What's your IQ?"
"Umm, I think it's at 162, right?" She asks turning to Chloe.
"Uh yeah, I think so."
"162? That's ..." Stacie starts.
"Insane!" Aubrey finishes. "I am always top of my class and my IQ is 115!"
"Okay." Stacie interrupts. "We will talk about this tomorrow at our first meeting, for now, we have a party to get to. Initiation Night." Stacie says.
