I was so tired as I got ready for school. I felt like a zombie, probably looked like one too. And that because Chloe and I couldn't stop texting until late in the night. We just couldn't find an end to our conversation.

Anyway it was the day I was going back to school and I was nervous as hell. Just as I was thinking of places where I could hide at school during lunch I heard the doorbell.

I rushed, as much as you can imagine me rushing with a broken leg, down the stairs. Chloe was already waiting for me in the kitchen.

"Hey", she greeted me.

"Hi", I answered. "Can we go?", I asked.

"Don't you want to eat breakfast?", Chloe asked.

"No, it's fine, we can go."

"But breakfast is the most important meal. And you won't be able to concentrate or anything and-"

"Ok, fine", I interrupted her rambling and took a toast in my mouth, "Happy now?", I asked with a full mouth.

She nodded and had a ridiculous smile on her face. I just rolled my eyes. I mom just watched us smiling.

"Bye mom", I called.

"Bye, Helen, have a nice day", Chloe said.

Chloe sang the entire way we drove to school.

"How can you have so much energy in the morning? You couldn't have had more sleep than me."

"I don't know, I'm just in a good mood."

She parked at the parking lot and I got even more nervous seeing the school.

Suddenly I felt Chloe's hand on mine.

"Everything will be fine, Beca. They won't do anything, if they do, I'll kick their asses", Chloe assured me. I laughed.

We entered the school and I just waited for something to happen. We walked down the hall side by side and people looked at us or more they looked at Chloe and wondered what she's doing with the dyke.

I think Chloe noticed that I was very uncomfortable with people looking at us like that, so she got even closer to me and whispered: "Relax, they're just a bunch of nosy teens. It'll be over by lunch." She smiled at me and how could I not smile back?

We got to her locker and my was just five lockers away.

"How didn't I see you here before? We're almost locker neighbors. You were really good at hiding."

I smirked: "I am good at hiding, Red."

"You were, because you won't anymore. I won't let you", she told me.

I couldn't stop my face from smiling. My face dropped though as I turned to my right and saw Korofsky with his group of jocks coming. I quickly turned back around and tried to hide behind my locker. I glanced to see if he was coming directly at me, but what I saw shocked me. As he saw me, he ducked his head down and walked faster past me.

"He feels guilty", I almost jumped as Chloe sad that into my ear, "And I think he's also scared you'll tell the police."

"Good. So I hope he'll let me live in peace", I said and continued to take things I needed out of my locker.

"Give me your schedule", Chloe said as she stretched her hand for it.

She looked at it for a moment and then handed it back to me with a disappointed expression.

"We don't have any classes together", she said, "But I'll see you between classes and at lunch."

I had no chance to respond because of the school bell. She kissed my cheek and walked of to class. She kissed my cheek! What the fuck just happened?! Why did she do this? Does she want to kill me? Good there weren't any students in the hall anymore and didn't see me blush like a tomato. I stood there for a moment until I realized that I would be late for my first class if I didn't move my ass.

Chloe and I did see each other barely between the classes until lunch break.

We sat together in the cafeteria and I kept looking around me nervously.

"You know that no one is watching us anymore, right?", Chloe said.

I looked around me though. Chloe nudged me slightly and won my attention.

"They don't care, Beca. After the first "shock" seeing us together, they let it slide. Did anyone beside Katie and the jocks ever said anything to you?"

I thought about it for a minute and figured that only Korofsky, Katie and their minions bullied me.

I shook my head.

"See? I think you got scared as you were bullied by the jocks and the bitches so you hid from everyone else, but not everyone is homophobic, Beca. I bet that 90% of them doesn't even care."

Chloe was probably right. I closed myself off, so it was clear I couldn't have found any friends.

"And besides you're not the only lesbian here", she said and I looked at her shocked. She mentioned to a group a couple of tables away from us and said: "See that blonde and the brunette?" I nodded.

"That's Lexa and Clarke and they're a couple." I was shocked. I never noticed them. I knew Lexa, I had some classes with her, but I didn't know she was a lesbian too. I felt like I lived under a rock and didn't see anything around me.

"You don't have to be afraid being out and proud anymore. Korofsky won't do anything, because he's scared and I don't think Katie will dare to say anything after my outburst."

I laughed: "Yeah, you were very scary."

"Thank you very much", she said and flipped her hair.

We ate and talked until we went to our lockers. Then a jock came up to Chloe and whispered something in her ear. Jealously overcame me suddenly.

Chloe looked disgusted by what he said and I just heard her saying no to him, but he kept pushing.

I don't know where I got the confidence out of the sudden to approach them.

"Hey Chloe what's going on?", I asked and she looked relieved.

"Walk back where you came from with your crutches, we're talking here", the jock said to me.

He then kept touching Chloe while she uncomfortably tried to push his hands away. I got angry and saw just red for him. Who the fuck he thinks he is?

"I'll stick this crutches up your ass if you touch her again. She clearly doesn't want it", I said through my teeth.

He came directly in front of me and said: "If I were you I would be careful what I say."

I smirked: "Well, if I were you I would be careful as well, if I may remind you of what you and your friends did to me. My statement could very fast be on a desk of a police officer."

He got silent. We were face to face and he kept breathing heavily. Finally he gave up and walked away. I exhaled a relieved breath.

"That was amazing, Beca", Chloe said as she hugged me, "So you can stand up for yourself, huh turtle?"

I just shrugged, but I knew I wouldn't have done it if it wasn't for her. A mix of anger, jealousy and the urge to protect Chloe gave me the strength and confidence to say something. And I would stand up for her every single time again if I had to, even if it wouldn't end that smoothly like it did this time.

Some Clexa because they're cute as hell ;)

Did you expect what happened? Let me know either way :) And what do you expect to happen next?
