Summary: The new girl has caught Beca's eye

The New Girl In Town

There's a new girl in town, or well, on campus. And normally Beca 'Whatever, dude' Mitchell couldn't give a crap about new students—she didn't care much about anything really, except her music—but there was something about this particular girl that had caught her eye.

Maybe it had been the red hair—since there aren't that many people on campus with that specific hair color—or maybe it had been the way the girl seemed to carry herself as she confidently strode across campus. Or maybe it had been the dazzling smile on her face when something had made her laugh. Beca just didn't know.

What she did know, however, is that the girl studied a lot. Beca mostly knew since she spent a lot of time in the library herself—for it was the only place she could quietly work on her new mixes without her two friends bothering her—and she often saw the redhead sitting in a corner at a table with multiple books open in front of her.

Beca had no clue when it really started. This weird thing, feeling, whatever it exactly was, that she got whenever she saw the girl around, or when she heard her laugh, or saw her smile at something. She swears she's not some creepy stalker, she was just noticing the girl, a lot.

It took a few weeks to notice how her body was physically reacting to simply seeing the girl that she realized that she was attracted to the redhead. Her stomach felt like it was flipping, her palms would get sweaty and she'd feel a weird tingle run up and down her spine. To say it freaked her out would be a complete understatement.

Yes, she could tell when a woman was beautiful, she does have eyes. But she had never felt attracted to someone of the same sex before, and she'd definitely never had such a strong physical reaction to someone before either. It was way too fast and unexpected.

Beca was really confused and felt a little out of control, and after her friends asked her why she had been behaving so strangely in the past few weeks, it all came out in a jumbled mess. And instead of getting an understanding or maybe advice-filled pep talk, she only received teasing comments.

"I think… I think I like her." Beca stutters out, tilting her head with a look of confusion clear on her face, before continuing, "I mean, she's obviously not hard to look at… And it's just…. I don't know, I just feel weird."

Jesse and Amy both look at each other with huge grins on their faces and a twinkle in their eyes as they continue to listen to Beca ramble about the new girl—someone she didn't even know the name of—and how strange she felt. It was clear to them what was going on with their friend.

After another quick moment of eye-contact, the two broke out into song, "Beca has a crush, Beca has a crush."

"Beca is in love." Jesse added with a teasing smirk, which was of course reciprocated by Amy. They both made a heart with their hands and moved their hands back and forth, making it look like it was beating.

"What?! No! I'm not!" Beca's eyes were wide and her body felt a little tingly at those words, but anger and annoyance quickly took over when her friends—though she was really questioning that—broke out into a new song.

"You want to hug her. You want to kiss her. You want to love her. You want to smooch her. You want to hug her." The two continued to sing, quoting that certain scene from Miss Congeniality but changing the last word in every sentence.

"What? N-no." Beca shook her head at the ridiculousness of her so-called friends, "Guys, cut it out. Ugh, I don't know why I even bother."

She mumbled the last part under her breath before she leaned down to grab her bag and turned around, needing to get far, far away from Jesse and Amy as they continued to yell teasing remarks at her. Her reply was a simple raise of a middle finger while she quickly walked away.

Talking, well, trying to talk, to her friends had clearly not worked out so well for her. In hindsight she really should've expected the childish behavior from the two. They were never really great with advice, or with simply being serious for more than two minutes, and took any opportunity to embarrass and tease her.

After that failed attempt at a serious conversation with her friends Beca had ended up going to the library and made herself comfortable in a corner were rarely anyone came, which she was glad about. She could think in peace there, and luckily, the redhead who had been making her feel these weird things, wasn't there that day to distract her, and to confuse her even more.

Beca had realized after thirty minutes of just sitting there in silence and going over things in her head, that her friends had been right about one thing. She definitely has a crush on the redhead. And while she thought about that, she made another realization that she didn't even know the girl's name. She really was a loser.

In the weeks—well, month—that followed, Beca had accepted her crush on the redhead and tried to come up with ways of how to approach her to start a conversation. She really wanted to know the girl's name, and a lot more things, but a name would be a good place to start.

She had walked up to the girl four or five times, but had chickened out before going through with it, quickly turning around again and getting away as fast as possible. It had probably been for the best since she would just make a huge fool out of herself.

What she needed was a plan, and to somehow find courage to actually go through with it when the moment arises. Little did she know what was going to happen just a week later...

Beca was walking around in the park, trying to come up with scenarios of when and how she could potentially strike up a conversation with her crush when someone suddenly walks into her and makes her stumble backwards with a gasp.

She braces herself for the fall but two strong hands quickly grip onto her upper arms, keeping her upright. She quickly grasps onto the person's elbows to steady herself. Her legs almost give out on her when her eyes make contact with the bluest eyes she's ever seen.

"Holy Blues!" She whispers out as she continues to stare straight into those eyes. A chuckle breaks the spell she had found herself in and she shakes her head a little as she takes in who's holding her. Shit! It was the redhead…

"Uhm…" Beca mumbles out as her eyes widen comically and her face starts to feel hot as a blush begins to form.

"You okay?" The redhead asks in a soft yet amused tone.

"Uh-huh." Beca can only dumbly nod before shaking her head at herself, she clears her throat and hopes she sounds normal, "Yea, I'm fine. Sorry."

Beca lets go of the redhead's elbows and frowns a little when she feels the girl's hands let go of her upper arms. The girl doesn't see the look as she bends down to pick up Beca's bag, that she'd apparently dropped, and hands it back to her.

"I should be the one apologizing. I was the one who almost completely waltzed you over." The girl says in the same soft voice before continuing, "I'm sorry for not looking and just walking into—Wait a minute! I know you!"

Beca's eyes widen again. How can she possibly know me?

"Uh…"

"Yea, you're always in the library, working on your laptop. I don't know what you do but you're always so focused on your screen with your tongue poking out. It's cute." The redhead tells her with a smile on her face and Beca can only continue to stare wide-eyed at her.

She knows me! Wait, how does she know I poke my tongue out when I'm concentrating on something… Oh god, she must have been looking at me… Hold on! She called me cute!

Beca shakes her head again as her brain tries to catch up with the information she's receiving. She notices the girl is still talking to her, with the same amused look on her face, when she catches the last part of her sentence.

"—Anyways, I'd like to get to know you, uhm… "

The frown on the girl's face might be the cutest thing Beca has ever seen and makes her forget to answer before a raise of an eyebrow catches her attention and she finally replies, "Uh, it's Beca. Mitchell—I'm Beca Mitchell."

She mentally facepalms herself. But the giggles spilling from the girl in front of her make her feel a little better. Hopefully that means she doesn't think I'm a complete idiot

"Well, Beca Mitchell… I'm Chloe Beale." She smiles again. "So, can I take you for a coffee or something… Like a date?"

'Chloe… Yea, that name fits' Beca thinks to herself before her eyes widen once again when she realizes what Chloe just asked her. She hopes she's not dreaming because it really sounded like she was just asked to go on a date. With her crush. She and her crush. On a date.

"Oh… Uhm." Beca mumbles again. Actual words would be really appreciated right about now… Her brain feels like its shortcutting. Chloe seems to take her frozen, confused state as a no.

"We don't have to—" Before the girl can backtrack, Beca quickly interrupts her. She's been waiting for this moment for over a month now, maybe even longer if she's being honest, and there's no way she's not accepting this offer.

"No! I mean, yea. Yes." Beca closes her eyes while Chloe chuckles at her sudden outburst. She takes a deep breath before opening her eyes, "I would like to go on a d-date with you."

Chloe's smile is mesmerizing and it works as a perfect distraction before Beca realizes that the girl has hooked her arm around hers and is pulling her with her. She stumbles forward before looking at their linked arms before looking at Chloe while they start walking together.

"Oh… You meant now."

"Yup. I—uh," The redhead stutters a little, before clearing her throat and sounding like her confident self again, "I actually wanted to ask you out a lot sooner. But this works too."

Beca almost trips over her feet but luckily the redhead has a strong grip on her and keeps her upright. The brunette looks up at Chloe with wide eyes, "You.. What?"

The redhead simply grins at her and continues to pull her along with her, "You're cute when you look all wide-eyed. Now, let's get a move on, I got questions to ask and a brownie that has my name on it waiting for me."
