The Story So Far | Chapter Four

Beca's POV

Waking up, I saw a note pasted on my forehead. It read:

Beca, we've been trying to wake you up since a while ago. I just wanna inform you that the auditions are today at 11 am.

The Guys

"Shit!" I cursed while my eyes darted to my alarm clock.

"10:50," it read while I quickly got up and got ready. I just wore a simple long sleeve, a pair of pants and boots.

You may be wondering how I slept until 10:50. I was dreaming this dream that was telling me to join the auditions and it was also showing me what if I was there already. I joined the Bellas? That's amazing, isn't it? The dream was so long though, I can't be distracted while I was dreaming that. I forgot the rest anyway.

Dashing to the auditorium, I think I was too late. I think I was, I managed to catch some of them singing while I walking to the auditorium. It was Kelly Clarkson's Since U Been Gone.

"Okay, that is everyone, really not that impressed this year guys.." the host told them.

I saw the redhead looking disappointed and then she spotted me instantly, "Oh wait, there's one more."

I nodded and I started walking, "Hi."

She beamed at me and gestured me to go there.

"Uh – I didn't know we had to prepare that song," I told her, partially embarrassed.

"Oh no, that's okay. Sing anything you want." The blonde girl, I think the redhead called her Aubrey but she was looking at me and she looks like she's mentally asking me, 'What are you doing here? After you called a Capella lame..'

I managed to ignore it off then sat down and got the cup from their table. "May I?"

The redhead nodded and smiled while I started my audition song.

I was practicing the Cups ever since I watched that video of a girl doing this and singing 'When I'm Gone'.

"I got my ticket for the long way 'round," I sang. "Two bottles of whiskey for the way."

Looking at their reactions, I feel flattered and embarrassed at the same time. The redhead was staring at me like there's no tomorrow while Aubrey was staring at me and the cup at the same time.

"When I'm Gone, When I'm Gone. You're gonna miss me when I'm gone. You're gonna miss me by my hair, you're gonna me everywhere. Oh I'm sure, you're gonna miss me when I'm gone." That's it.

The ginger gave me a smirk while she glanced at Aubrey to see her reaction to my audition song. Soon, I think she decided and they asked me to leave the auditorium. As soon as I walked out, I saw Gray running up to me.

"Beca!" he shouted.

"Dude, what the hell? Shut up!" I silently screamed. "What do you want?"

"Well – I think I have a new crush," he declared.

"You think?" I asked confusedly.

"Yeah well – She's actually the leader of the Barden Bellas." Is it Aubrey? Seriously, Graham?

"Aubrey? The blonde girl?" I guessed while he scratched his head and nodded.

"I guess you should totally ask her out," I suggested.

"Nah, I'm still waiting for the right time. I don't wanna rush things for the first time, I think I have to befriend her first."

"What has gotten into you, Gray?" He's not the usual Graham Anthony Monroe III I know.

"What?"

"All those befriending first things, that's not like you. In fact, you don't even befriend girls. I'm the only girl friend, you have."

"Because you're different, Beca!" he shouted. What does he mean by different?

"What do you mean?"

"Like.. You know you like guy stuff so you're kinda like a guy and girls like you are rare so I decided to befriend you not just to date you and break your little heart," he confessed. "I liked you before, Beca but now I just realized that I don't want to ruin our perfect friendship with the guys. We're a band, it's a bad idea to date your bandmates, right?" I nodded. "Look what happened to Paramore, Hayley dated her bandmate and then they broke up then look what happened. So I decided you know, I feel bad for telling you this now. I hope I didn't break our friendship."

"You didn't," I replied. "Don't worry, Gray. Nothing can ruin our friendship."

"Thanks Beck. Just remember that I don't like anymore that way, okay?" he chuckled while I nodded and chuckled back.

"Hey!" a bubbly voice called us from behind. I turned around and I saw the redhead again. I just waved awkwardly. "You have to come with me."

"I – I," I glanced at Gray who already walked away. "Uh, okay."

She grinned and grabbed my hand. "We never actually met properly though, I'm Chloe."

Finally, I get know her name. "Uh, I'm Beca."

"Nice to finally to properly meet you, Beca," she smiled at me as she guided me somewhere.

"Where are we going?" I asked while we two were walking.

"Just trust me," she told me while I rolled my eyes. Soon we arrived, I don't where so.. "Okay, do you trust me?"

"I don't know. I just found out your name like 5 minutes ago. You might be a serial killer," I winked.

"Well, I think you should trust me right now," she told me as she smiled. "Close your eyes."

I rolled my eyes and then closed it. I felt a light cloth touch my face which made my face twitch. I heard Chloe opened a door and she grabbed my hand and led me somewhere.

"Okay, stay here," she ordered while I obliged. I waited for like 5 minutes and my feet were getting weak. I felt that there's someone beside me, and like the carbon dioxide increased around me.

"The sopranos, Jessica, Mary Elise, Lilly," I heard a voice say. "The mezzos, Cynthia Rose, Stacie, Kori. And our altos, Fat Amy, Denise, Ashley and Beca." She said as Chloe removed the cloth from my face. I checked out the surroundings and they were candles all around. Woah, so much effort.

We were told to stand in the opposite side and then this recruiting thing continues. Also, we were given each one of us a scarf.

"Now place your scarves in your right hand," Chloe told us as she put her scarf on her right hand.

"I – Sing your name," Aubrey said.

"I," we said simultaneously as the others sang their names, I didn't even bother to sing mine. It sounds bad.

"Promise to fulfill the duties and responsibilities of a Bella woman," Aubrey said as we repeated the words she's speaking. "And I solemnly promise to never have sexual relations with a Treblemaker or may my vocal cords be ripped out by wolves."

That's kinda easy. After we repeated those words, "You are all Bellas now," Aubrey announced as some got crazy and cheered.

"Okay Bellas, we have to go outside and attend the hood night," Aubrey told us while we all nodded and went outside together.

Chloe walked beside me, "Your song is stuck in my head."

I smiled, "Seriously? That's awesome."

"Yeah, I'm serious. Can I hear some of your other songs?" she asked. Wow, I think I like this girl already.

"Never in my life I thought someone would ask that, but sure why not?" I grinned.

"So how do you write these songs?"

"Apparently, I'm in a band—"

"You're in a band?!" she interrupted.

"Mhmm."

"That's why, you think that a Capella is lame," she uttered while I just nodded. "What's the name of your band?"

"Turpitude."

"Turpitude? As in like the word Turpitude?" I nodded. "Wow."

We arrived at the destination, I don't know how you call it but it's like a party venue or something.

"I don't know what I'm doing here," I told myself.

"Just living the dream," the fat blonde girl said, I think her name was Fat Amy. "I still can't believe they let my sexy fat ass in."

"Beca!" I heard a familiar voice. It was Gray.

"Hey Gray! I'm glad you're part of the Trebles now! This is amazing," I complimented.

"Yep. And I see you are a Barden Bella now."

"No," I responded.

"Oh come on, Beca Mitchell from a pop punk band to an a Capella group? What an upside world, it is."

"Are you kidding me? Where did that came from?" I questioned him, he was clearly drunk.

"I'm just kidding. Do you want a drink?" he asked.

"Yeah sure, get some," while he nodded and walked away.

Chloe was walking to me, "Hi!"

"Woah!" she pulled my arms to her.

"I'm so glad I met you," she told me while she leaned in. Wait, is she gonna? Wait, no. Nevermind. "I think that we're gonna be really fast friends."

"Yeah, well you saw me naked so.." I winked.

"I want to check out your original music later."

"Yeah, sure come by in my room when you're not drunk but I think that you're drunk at all," I told her.

"No, I don't think I'm drunk," while she ruffled my hair. "I like your hair."

I shook her hand off, "Thanks, I guess? I like your hair too, especially your eyes, it reminds me of the sky."

She smiled, "Alright, I'm going to get a drink." She let go of me. "This ginger needs her jiggle juice." She shook her booty on front of me. Wow. "See you later." As she walked away.

"Make good choices," I told her. Soon Gray was walking to me and handed me a drink.

"Make sure, you won't drink too much, Beca. Remember the last hangover you had?" he told me as he handed me over the drink.

"I won't and please don't tell that story to anyone," I told him.

He laughed, "Oh my God. I'm imagining it again." I hit him playfully. "Ouch Beck! That hurt."

"Don't even mention it," I said gruffly while I took a sip from the drink.

"I'll see you later," he said as he went back to the party.

I drank all the juice and I was about to walk out until someone called me from behind.
