Helloooooo all you lovely lovely people reading this little thing I got going on. I really hoped you liked the last chapter. I would love to see what you guys think so don't hesitate to PM me or leave a review. ANYWAY ON TO THE NEXT CHAPTER. Oh and when Julie is singing the bold text is going to be her male register
(Julie's POV)
I wasn't ready for today. Today has been total bullshit! I completely forgot about a quiz in my German class, I forgot my homework on my desk for my World Literature class, and my laptop with all my essays and research projects crashed. When I finally reached my dorm I realized I had left my keys on my bed this morning. I groaned and kicked the door before sitting on the floor. I hit the back of my head on the door.
"Fucking bullshit"
I sighed and pulled out my school laptop. I knew my way around computers so I wanted to see if I could back it up without having to store everything on disks and loading them back on. Because that process took hours. After about 30 minutes of trying to back my laptop up I gave up. Goddamit! Well at least I have the weekend to fix it. I grabbed my 3DS out of my bag and started up Fire Emblem:Awakening.
"Julie? What are you are you doing in front of our dorm?"
I looked up from my soon to die 3DS and saw Jay. She had her track stuff in one hand and some books in the other.
"Ya see what had happened was…..I kinda…..sorta…..left my keys on my bed this morning."
She sighed and shook her head. This had happened once before and I was waiting outside the dorm for 2 hours. Since then I've made it a point to always always check my pockets for 3 things: my phone, my wallet, and my keys. This morning I was running out the dorm because I had woken up late so I didn't have the time. Jay pulled out her keys and opened the door and went in. I followed then after I plunked down my bag, I flopped onto my bed. I couldn't wait for this day to be over!
I felt my phone go off in my pocket, reached in a pulled it out. It was a text from an unknown number. I raised an eyebrow and unlocked my phone to check the new message.
Where are you? We're all waiting for you. Oh its Beca by the way."SHIT!"
I jumped out of bed, brushed my hair real quick, patted my pockets and ran out the room. Leaving Jay gaping at the door. I felt my phone go off in my pocket, I managed to read and respond to Jay's wtf? text while running down the stairs. Without faceplanting I might add which is quite a feat for me. Normally if I try to text while walking I either trip on something or bump into someone and fall on top of them or on my ass. I stopped in the middle of the quad. I texted Beca where the hell am I supposed to meet you?
While waiting for her reply I decided to walk around. I soon found my way to the theater and it was deathly silent. I pulled out my phone to see that Beca hadn't replied yet. I sighed and made my way to the stage, I sat on the edge and decided to test the acoustics. I had music from the movie Chicago stuck in my head.
The name on everybody's lips is gonna be….Roxie~
The lady rakin' in the chips is gonna be…..Roxie~
I'm gonna be a celebrity, that means somebody everyone knows.
They're gonna recognise my eyes, my hair, my cheek, my boobs, my nose
As I sang the instrumental part I looked around making sure there was no one else around. I grinned and slowly got into the character of Roxie Hart.
From just some dumb mechanic's wife I'm gonna be…..Roxie
Who says that murder's not an art~
And who in case she doesn't hang, can say she started with a BANG
Roxie Hart!
I got further and further into character flipping my hair, flashing sexy smiles, and running my hands down my body. This song could make anyone feel like a sexy femme fatale and I loved it. Thanking my lucky stars that no one was there to watch me.
(Beca's POV)
I had already told the Bella's about Julie and how she was coming. But she wasn't here! I sighed and grabbed my phone and texted her, I smirked at how I got her number. While I was watching her play I snuck a peek at her phone. She had unlocked it after her phone going off mid-game and scaring the crap out of her. I checked and saw that her phone was still unlocked. I found her number and entered it on my phone and slide hers back to where it was originally.
"Why you smirkin' over there shawshank?"
"Ya whats goin' on short stack?"
Fat Amy and Rose pulled me out of my thoughts.
"Nothing guys just texted Julie." I bit my lower lip, why isn't she here?
Amy opened her mouth to say something but then my phone went off. And my palm met my face with an audible smack after reading the message. I completely forgot to tell her we were meeting behind the theater!
The group stared at me with raised eyebrows and just as I was going to explain why I facepalmed. I heard a voice echoing from the theater. I turned to the doors that lead out to the theater. Everyone else looked at the door and the whole room went quiet.
The name on everybody's lips is gonna be…...Roxie~
Half the room looked at the door with confused faces. I saw the questions in their eyes, who's singing and what song is she singing?
I saw Rose's eyes light up and she walked over to the door quietly. She motioned for us to follow and we did. We peered out the doorway and I saw Julie walking and swaying and acting absolutely sexy. I did my best to focus on her voice.
I'm gonna be a celebrity that means somebody everyone knows.
They're gonna recognise my eyes, my hair, my teeth, my boobs, my nose.
She sang what I assumed was the instrumental part of the song. She had the perfect voice for jazz and songs of that nature. I felt my phone buzz in my pocket to see a text from Rose. All the Bellas got the text: She's singing Roxie from the movie Chicago. Another text from her, And she's getting into Roxie's character.
From just some dumb mechanic's wife I'm gonna be….Roxie~ Who says that murder's not an art~
And who can in case she doesn't hang, can say she started with a BANG.
Roxie Hart~
I had heard vibrato in all the long notes and again she was making some notes slightly breathy but in the context of the song it just make it sexy. I saw the other girls stare at Julie as she slowly started dancing a bit more seductively. I saw everybody's eyes follow that swaying ass. Damn she has a nice ass….wait what? Beca get your head out of the gutter!I was surprised she could dance despite having a brace on her thigh. I saw Cynthia-Rose's eyebrows furrow in confusion. It had been about a month in a half since her femur poke out of her leg. How was she healing so quickly?
She sang the instrumental part then her voice dropped to a male register.
They're gonna wait outside in line to get to see….She went back up to her female register.
Roxie
Think of those of those autographs I'll sign "Good luck to ya"
Roxie
Her register was changing as she switched from the lead voice to the back-up and I saw the other Bellas jaws drop. They saw why I wanted her to join our group, she was able to switch back and forth effortlessly. I saw Amy try to go up to her but we all pulled her back. We wanted to see the rest of the performance.
And I'll appear in a lavalier that goes all the way down to my waist.
Here a ring there a ring everywhere a ring-a-ling
But always in the best of taste~
She was about to keep going then the theater kids burst in and she stopped in the middle of the song and ran to the dark part of the stage. All the Bellas muttered a curse or two. Damn it I wanted to see and hear the rest of that!
Woooo end of chapter 7 I hope you guys liked it and as you know the song Julie was singing is called Roxie I highly recommend you listen to it or watch the movie its really good. See you guys next time. :3
