Alright guys… here is the update that I Once Upon A Time promised on October 31st, and then continuously pushed back. I am truly sorry, but with tests, essays, and so much more, it's hard to find time to write. I think I rambled on a little bit… oh well.
Don't forget to review!

Announcer: The Barden Bellas!
Beca: Dude, what's wrong with you! That's not for another few chapters!
Announcer: Ummm
Fat Amy: Seriously dude, I wrestled-
Chloe: Ummm Amy, that also in another chapter.
Fat Amy: Oh.
Alice: *rolls her eyes* shadowx and shadex does not own Pitch Perfect or the character, or the plot… or really any thing. Just the little quirks and twists, I guess you could say.
shadowx and shadex: gee thanks Alice, you're so generous.
Alice: I try!
Chapter 8: Movies, Radio Station… and Jesse Being an Ass
A few days later, Beca goes into work at the radio station. Lo and behold! Who does she end up with on this shift? None other than the man-boy Jesse…Whatever-his-lastname-may-be-son. He annoys her to no end. She's trying to do work… or at least the 'work' that Luke assigns, and he's… he's mocking some of the best (ok, not the best, but some of the more interesting album covers) music around. Or atleast what's in this dingy old shack.
Jesse thinks he's so cool, pretending, mocking 'the alphabet blend', Adam Lambert, and others. I mean, he can't even do a proper face. The least he could do is look at the cover, before trying to imitate it.
Beca can't help but smirk at his childishness.
Luke sees' Jesse's attempts to flirt with her, and comes to her aid. "Hey Jesse, I'm starving. So could you…?"
And then Jesse, the ass, goes and says "Oh? You want me to get you lunch? You should lay off the burgers… I mean, you're not going to be 22 for ever, you know."
Jesse must be an idiot. First, Luke never said he wanted a burger, only that he wanted lunch. Second, Luke is a skateboarder- he has abs, for Pete's sake!
Luke lifts his shirt and looks at his abs. "I think I'm good," he says, with a shrug and a smug look.
Beca can't help but smile her thanks, "He's good, you're good." Beca smirks at Jesse, trying and purposely failing at smiling sympathetically at the idiot.
"And the chess match continues." Thank heavens, the idiot finally wandered off.
Beca sees another opportunity to get her music on the air, so she goes to give Luke another of her USB's, that she unfortunalty is sure that he just tosses them on a pile for dust to collect.
BECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOE
"What's up weirdo?" Beca looks up to see the idiot Jesse, again. What? Does this guy not get the hint? Is she not rude enough to him? How can he think that he has any chance with her, much less a friendship with her. I mean, who goes around calling aquaintances 'weirdo'?
The falling juice pack stops her mental ramble, and she tries to avoid getting hit in the chest by it.
And of course, the boy just has to go and make himself right at home. Geez…. Ever head of personal space dude? And then he starts unpacking his bag, unloading shit that makes him look like he's either prepared for the apocalypse, a zombie invasion, or intends to stay next to her for a long time. Beca has a feeling it's the latter of the three.
And then to her horror, he brings out the movies. Rocky, Jaws, ET, the Breatkfast Club, Star Wars.. all movies that she at one point in her life loved, but now she really hates with a passion. They're just all so predictable. (And yes, Beca already did know that those movies had some of the greatest sound tracks)
"I want to score movies when I grow up," Jesse says. Beca can't help but stare at him thinking 'dude, you're already grown up. What better way than to sound like a 5 year old kid with big dreams. I want to be a teacher, I want to be a policeman, I want to be a firefighter, I want to be a CEO, I want freaking score movies! And if you want to score movies, then why the hell is your major philosophy/literature of the 19th century?'
"Wow, you must really sweep your girlfriend off her feet," Beca says sarcastically. "Oh no, I don't have a girlfrind." He says it so seriously, like he doesn't get the hint, or the sarcasm. Maybe he'll get this, "What? But you have juice pouches and Rocky!" Any more sarcasm and the quad would be a pond full of it.
Course he ignoes her point, like it personally offended him, and goes straigt to movies. "What do you want to watch first?" 'Why didn't you ask me if she wanted to watch anything at all with you?' Beca wonders.
"Gee, can we do something else? We could relive my parents' divore, or visit a gynechologist." She can't help but smirk at the small shudder that ran through his body, and look of disbelief on his stupid face.
"What do you not like movies?" Beca just gives him a pointed look and sips her juice. "Like any movies?" Yes, why do you have to drive the point home?
"What the hell's wrong with you? Not liking movies is like not liking puppies!" Well that's fine, since I also don't like puppies, Beca reasons.
Beca explains her reasons, yet he's convinced of movie endings being the best. Stupid. And then he declares that he will foster a love of movies in her. Dude…. This is AMERICA! I have the total freedom the hate movies, and the right to not have you force your opinion onto me.
And ge goes on to insult the language German. WTF dude? Just cuz Hitler, one person decided to take over the world, and you blame all things German and declare them 'unfun'?
Better not let Alice hear that… or mum… they'd both be furious. Beca smirks at the thought.
The riff-off comment throws her. And then she's saved by Chloe, texting her to swing by her and Aubrey's appartment. Beca texts back, and then flees Jesse. She is so tired of that boy.
BECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOEBECHLOE
Chloe looks across the quad and sees Jesse sit next to Beca, who does not look pleased to see him. Chloe can't help but feel the surge of jealousy when Beca doesn't chase the boy off. Chloe debates whether to go over and save Beca, when Aubrey texts her, telling her to come to their apartment. Alice just called and, Aubrey wants the three of them to discuss ways to improve the Bella's routine. Evne though Chloe knows it's hopeless until they change the routine completely, Chloe gives one last longing look in Beca's direction, before wandering off.
Chloe gets another text from her best friend, who she curses at, texts back, and then texts Beca to come over to her and Aubrey's apartment in 10. Of course when she gets there, she'll just have to suffer through trying to 'improve' the routine, and try not to punch Aubrey in the face... but maybe she will nail Bree's arm.
Alrighty, slave-reader-monkeys! Go ahead and tell me what you think! Yes, click that nice little reivew button! That's it.
PS. Please tell me if you guys like the way I do the disclaimers. Cuz if not, I can change them in future chapters. Just saying.
