Chapter 11
For the first time Beca went to her classes and immediately regretted it. She was bored so she started texting Jesse. He didn't respond. "Of course not... Mister Nerdy is in class with his phone off..." Beca mumbled irritated.
"Are you also bored?" She heard a whispering voice. She looked in his direction and saw a guy with dark brown hair and blue eyes. Beca nodded and then tried to focus on her class again.
"My name is Phil, who are you?" Beca sighed, why were all the people so interested in her? When she walked into her class that morning all the people stared at her and some of them asked who she was.
"I'm Beca." She answered without looking at him.
"Well nice to meet you Beca, how are you today?"
"I regret coming to this class..." The guy was quite for a second.
"Want to get out of here?" Now he had Beca's attention. Beca looked at him and nodded. Phil held up his hand and waited for the teacher to respond.
"Yes mister Green?" Green... Beca thought as she thought of her dream.
"Uh Beca isn't feeling well is it okay if I walk her to the nurse?" Beca had to keep herself from rolling her eyes and from letting a scoff slip, it sounded like she was still in high school.
"Is that true miss Mitchell." Beca stared at her teacher and nodded.
"Okay, you can bring her Phil."
"Thank you sir." Phil stood up and pulled her towards the door. She tried to keep up with him but her leg didn't go faster. Again everyone stared at them...
"So, Beca Mitchell." Phil said with a smile as they sat in the little cafe on campus. "Why are you all mysterious?" Beca frowned. "Don't act like you don't know where I'm talking about..." he grinned sipping his coffee keeping his eyes on her.
"I really don't know where you're talking about?"
"Hey Phil!" Beca recognized the voice immediately. She saw Chloe coming their way looking surprised. She gave Phil a quick hug and sat down. "Oh sorry, is it okay if I sit with you guys?" she asked quickly a small blush on her cheeks combined with a sweet smile playing on her lips. Beca couldn't help herself but admire the redhead for a moment. She was wearing a low cut white tanktop showing off her blue bra and some light blue jeans that hugged her hips in the right way.
"Sure!" Phil had a huge smile in his face. Beca just nodded, she was glad Phil's attention was now on Chloe.
"Don't you guys have class right now?" Phil nodded with a smirk. "I'm heading to the stables, are you coming with me Beca?" Chloe continued turning towards Beca. There was a hint of begging in her eyes so Beca nodded.
"Uh yeah sure." Beca grabbed her bag and stood up. Chloe nodded and followed Beca to the exit without another word the left Phil behind.
"Isn't it rude to leave him like that?" Beca asked as they walked to the stables trying to keep up with Chloe. Thank god the stables were near campus so the walk to it wasn't that bad.
"No, he's a friend of Jack... Don't believe anything he says..." Beca nodded understandingly and followed Chloe into the stables. "I'm going training now, I'll see you later?" Chloe smiled before walking off.
"Uh yeah, see you later..." Beca said standing still for a moment. The way the redhead had pulled her away from Phil had taken her by surprise but seeing how much Chloe wanted to get her away from him made her give in immediately…
After her training Chloe walked past Beca who was cleaning a stable. She clearly didn't notice Chloe because she was softly singing. Chloe stopped for a moment and enjoyed the sound of Beca's voice. She really liked it when she was with Beca even though Beca wasn't the best company. Chloe walked over to Beca but didn't disturb her so she wouldn't stop singing. She was singing titanium again and instead of stopping her Chloe joined her. When Chloe joined her Beca turned around but didn't stop singing. Beca looked at Chloe who had a smile on her face. As the song ended Chloe's smile got even bigger. Beca noticed she smiled at Chloe but quickly looked serious again.
"Are you stalking me?" she asked trying to keep herself from grinning bur failing slightly.
"No! I just heard you singing and listened for a moment... Please, please, please join the Bellas... For me?" Chloe begged with a pout. Beca scoffed and shook her head before looking at Chloe again who was giving her the puppy eyes again.
"For you?" Chloe nodded and stepped into the stable.
"For me..."
"Your blonde friend doesn't even like me." Beca mumbled as she looked at the ground. Chloe stood really close to her and it made her feel really uncomfortable.
"Oh Aubrey is just... Okay she doesn't like you that's true..." Beca chuckled softly. "But I do like you and please join the Bellas..." Beca looked at Chloe as their eyes found each other.
"You like me..."
"Uh yes, as a friend you know..." Chloe suddenly looked really nervous.
"Thank you... I think you're okay too..." Chloe smiled.
"I take that as a compliment." She winked nudging the brunette playfully with her shoulder. Beca returned the smile. "You should smile more often... It looks good on you." Chloe said sincerely fighting the urge to brush the strand of hair that was in Beca's face behind her ear. Being this close to the petite girl and not kissing her was torture.
"I try..." Beca mumbled.
"I know you do. You try to look hard so everyone thinks you can't be hurt..." Beca sighed but didn't look away from Chloe. "It's okay, you can always try to talk about it." Chloe gently rubbed Beca arm and was glad Beca didn't flinch at the contact.
"Thank you Chloe." There was the army voice again, as Chloe named the serious tone of Beca. It was the way Chloe could tell Beca had shut her out again.
"Walls are not always the solution Beca..." Chloe kissed Beca's cheek softly and left the stable. Beca was alone again, shocked of what just happened...
