Chapter 4: That Feeling

Chloe opens her eyes as the sun shines bright the next day. She rubbed her eyes to remove the sleepiness from her system. She automatically looks for her phone under her pillow and checks the time, she also saw a text message from Beca that made her smile.

Beca: Good morning my dear redhead. Take care on your way to school. X

She bit her lip to control her smiling, because Beca was being extra sweet than ever. She typed her reply and got up to get her things ready.

Chloe: Now this is a phenomenon! Badass Beca Mitchell texts me in the morning. How sweet ;)

Chloe went to the kitchen while bringing her phone with her. Upon arriving in front the coffee mixer, her phone lights up.

Beca: I told you, I want to make it up to you Red. :P

She smiled again. She can't help but feel special because of how Beca treats her. She doesn't really know why, but Beca does things that make her feel like she's a very special person. She typed a reply again, and made her breakfast and went to get ready for school.

Chloe: I hope this isn't just to make it up to me. I'll see you later my DJ. xx

There was an extra skip on Chloe's walk as she makes her way to her locker. Clearly, everyone who notices her can see that she happy. Her bright smile, enough to light up the whole school. She doesn't really know why, but she knew her day started right. She was also fully aware that Beca was one of the reasons why she was happy. Well, she is happy and bubbly everyday…but this day seemed to be more…special. But what made her day was Beca's morning text. She can't get enough of it.

She reached her locker and opened it to put her things inside, only claiming the things she needed for her first class. As she was arranging her things, she felt familiar petite hands cover her eyes. She smiled again because she's pretty aware who's behind her…and how cute that person is right now.

"Guess who?" says a voice in a playful matter.

"Hm…let me guess. This person is brunette, with ocean blue eyes, pale skin, heavy eyeliner. This person is totally cute because her height is like a midget's." says Chloe, then the hands from her eyes were removed and she received a slap on the back of her shoulder.

"Ow!" Chloe laughs, while rubbing the back of her shoulder. "That was a joke Becs!"

"It's 9:15 in the morning, Beale! Too early for a height joke!" Beca crossed her arms and pouted. "Just because I'm pretty at your mercy right now, doesn't mean you should take advantage of it."

"Okay, okay." Chloe surrenders with her hands up. Then she smirked at Beca and pinched her cheek while saying, "You're so cute and adorable." Beca slaps them as she tries to free her face from Chloe's hands. "I am NOT cute and adorable! I am – "

"Badass. Yeah, I know." Chloe said with an eye-roll. "Anyway I gotta head to my class. I'll see you later?" Chloe asked as she looks at her watch. Beca smiled and nodded. But as Chloe was about to turn away, Beca grab hold of Chloe's arm and gave her a kiss on the cheek then hurriedly ran away. She's so weird, Chloe thought but she has no idea that she's blushing and smiling like a retard. She loves me so much, it's weird…but she's totally a sweet person.

As Chloe arrived in her first class, she noticed that the teacher is still not there so she went ahead to her seat. For some people, it would be totally weird because her smile is still on her face. Probably because of Beca.

"Well someone looks extra happy today." Stated a guy next to her. Chloe turns her head to see a charming guy, wearing a varsity jacket smiling at her. She gasped a little. It was unusual for this guy to talk to her. Surely this would be the first time that he spoke to her. One more thing, this person is no ordinary guy…this person sitting next to her, smiling at her is the very popular, Tom Daniels.

Tom Daniels is what most girls in school adore. He's the hottie who has nice abs, his charming smile that's quite irresistible, and his gentlemanliness that simply sweeps the girls off their feet. He's also a rich guy since his father is the town's mayor and his mother is a well-known fashion designer. Chloe was speechless to know the fact that Tom Daniels' speaking to her.

"H-hey." Chloe smiled awkwardly and nervously. Obviously, she doesn't know how to react to the current situation she's in. Oh my gosh, Tom Daniels is talking to me.

"You're Chloe Beale, am I right?" Tom asks, and Chloe nodded. She was sure that she couldn't trust her voice right now. "So what got you smiling so bright that it blinds?" he asked again with smirk on his face.

"I'm sorry?" Chloe said, confused.

"Oh…I just noticed that you always smile every time you enter the room…but today, your smile is like…more special. I'm sorry to be so nosy by the way; it's alright if you don't want to answer." Tom said, Chloe smiled and chuckled.

"A friend." She answered, Tom nodded slowly in understanding. "And also, I seemed to woke up at the right side of the bed, so…yeah." Chloe added.

"This friend of yours…someone special, I assume?" Tom asked curiously with a knowing smile.

"Yeah. Very special." Chloe answered. After a few moments, the teacher arrived and started the class immediately.

When the class ended, everyone started to leave the room. As Chloe left the room, Tom was there by the door way and was waiting for her.

"Hey Chloe!" called out Tom after her. She turned and saw Tom walking towards her. "Hey, what's up?" asked Chloe with her natural smile.

"Uhh…I was thinking if maybe…uhh…you wanna eat lunch together? I know that it's a little early for me to ask, but I like spending time with you." Tom said as he rubbed the back of his neck, that being an act of nervousness.

"I would love to…but uh…I actually hang out with my friends during lunch time, so I can't really bail out on them." Chloe explained. Tom's face fell a bit, but then Chloe had a better idea. "Oh! Maybe you can join us. I'll introduce you to my friends. If that's okay with you, of course."

Tom smiled and it was clear that he was excited about it. His eyes brighten up and he nodded, "Yeah! It'll be awesome to meet your friends. So, I'll see you later then?"

"Yup! See you later!" she waved at him as she made her way to her next class, not knowing that a certain someone was watching the whole interaction between her and Tom. While walking on the way there, she texted Aubrey.

Chloe: Tom Daniels joining us for lunch!

Aubrey: WHAT?! How did that happen?

Chloe: He asked me if I want to eat with him at lunch and I told him to join us instead.

Aubrey: What a rare occasion! I better tell the others.

Chloe then texted Beca.

Chloe: Becs! Tom Daniels is going to join us for lunch! OMG, I seriously can't wait!

She was holding her phone while smiling like a total idiot. Surely her day could get any better. Then she looks at her phone to see a message reply from Beca.

Beca: Yeah, Aubrey told me. Good for you.

Ouch. That wasn't the reply she was expecting. It seemed that there were thorns on Beca's reply. It seemed like Beca wasn't at all thrilled by the idea of Tom joining them, well Beca wasn't really into social elites…but it felt like Beca doesn't want Tom to join them. Chloe shrugged the thought out of her mind and head for her next class.

Lunch time came and Chloe met up with Tom by the cafeteria entrance. She led him to their table while pulling him by the wrist. When they arrived, they saw Beca, Stacie, Aubrey and Jesse at the table. Aubrey and Jesse raised their heads and smiled at them, Stacie waved at them, but Beca was finding the floor more interesting. Stacie found that Chloe was looking at Beca, so she turned her head and hit Beca on the arm with her elbow. Beca winced and said "Ouch!" in a hushed tone. She gave Stacie a death glare, when Stacie tilted her head towards Chloe and Tom's direction. Aubrey was looking at them; she cleared her throat to get the attention of the two brunettes. Beca and Stacie looked at Aubrey and she gave them a stare with wide eyes that fully says "STOP FUCKING AROUND." They seemed to get the message and quickly bowed their heads.

"So…that was a bit awkward…" Chloe laughed nervously which was followed by Tom. "Guys, this is Tom Daniels. He's a classmate in my Algebra class. "Chloe said, and Tom gave them a little wave of hand. "Tom, this is Beca, Stacie, Aubrey and Jesse."

"It's nice to meet you all; I hope I'm not a bother to join you guys." Tom said with a nervous laugh. Chloe took the seat beside Stacie, while Tom took the seat next to her. Tom and Jesse started a conversation while Chloe looked at a quiet Beca, and she was sure that Beca wasn't looking at her or anyone. She sat there, total mute and was playing with her food. And because Chloe was always curious, she couldn't help it anymore…she gave Beca a text. Seconds later, Beca felt her phone vibrated and took out her phone. Seeing that Chloe texted her, she looked at Chloe and found Chloe staring at her also. Beca broke the eye contact and looked at Chloe's message.

Chloe: Are you alright? You seem out of it.

Beca replied almost quickly.

Beca: I'm fine. Don't worry.

Chloe looked up from her phone and looked at Beca. Beca was back staring at the floor, then she heard Stacie starting a conversation.

"Chloe, you're going to my birthday right?" Stacie asked. Chloe returned the look at Stacie and smiled "Of course! It's on the week after next week, right?"

"Yup!" Stacie clapped her hands, then she saw Tom and she blurted out of the blue "Tom, you should come!" This made everybody look at Stacie. Aubrey and Jesse gave her a stare, Beca looked shocked but returned her gaze back at the floor immediately. Chloe on the other hand, brighten up at the idea. "Oh yeah! You should totes come because Stacie throws the best parties. EVER."

Tom shook his head and laughed nervously again while rubbing the back of his neck, "I…I don't know." Then Chloe held his arm with both of her arms and said "Please Tom? For me?"

Stacie, Aubrey and Jess looked at each other. It was a shock to hear Chloe say her 'irresistible begging' which she only use at Beca, to another person. Before Tom could answer though, Beca stood up that startled all of them. "Excuse me, I have to go and do some stuff. It was nice meeting you Tom." Beca said as she reached out her hand to Tom for a shake which Tom took gladly. Beca left without another word. Chloe followed Beca with her stare and stood up, "I'll be right back." She told them and then ran after Beca.

Chloe managed to catch up to Beca and grabbed her by the arm. "Becs, is there a problem?" Chloe asked with concern. Beca was an open book, so it's pretty much easy for Chloe to read her. Beca was obviously upset with something. "I'm fine." Beca muttered. Chloe crossed her arm and raised her eyebrow and said "Really? You're gonna stick with that?" Beca looked at her with an apologetic look. "I'm sorry…I just…need to do something important."

"You're doing it again, Becs…you're avoiding me again." Chloe stated, feeling a bit insulted. "You were different this morning, did something happen?" she asked. Beca sighed and looked at her intently with her eyes. "Chloe…" she began. "I'm sorry. I'm fine now. I assure you that I'm not avoiding you. It's just that I really need to go now. Forgive me?" Beca smiled sheepishly. Chloe rolled her eyes and smiled. "Alright…you're lucky you're my friend." Beca smirked and said, "Can I have a hug?" this made Chloe cheesily grin and surged forward to give Beca a bear hug. When they parted ways, Chloe looked back at Beca, and Beca was also looking back at her. They both waved at each other before fully walking away from each other.

When Chloe came back at the cafeteria, she saw four of her friends talking about something. When she took her seat, she had that same smile she had that morning again on her face. "Is Beca alright?" asked Aubrey. Chloe nodded with a goofy grin on her face.

"Oh yeah, Chloe! Tom's going to the party!" Stacie said excitedly. Chloe smiled wider and told Tom, "Trust me, it'll be a blast."
