Chapter 2- Arrival

Finally, after three long stressful days Beca and Stacie arrived at Barden University and immediately started on their room.

"What do you think Becs?" Stacie ask while wrapping an arm around Beca's neck and placing a kiss on her head

Glancing around the room and taking in their handiwork Beca couldn't help but smile at the fact that Stacie was really going to be her roommate and how well it turned it. Hugging Stacie back "Home sweet home, we did a good job" Beca replied and walk towards her bed. Beca had the left side while Stacie had the right, both girls had very similar taste so their sides complemented the other. Beca had a lot of black and dark shades of blue where as Stacie had a lot of neutral colors such as cream, white and bit off red. Beca had some posters, pictures of her mom and of Stacie and herself plus a collection of CDs on her side while Stacie had pictures, collection of movies and a whole shelf of science books that Beca couldn't help but smile at.

One reason the two got along so well is because they knew the real person and not the one that everyone sees. Beca knew the real Stacie, the genius scientist who had more feelings than people assume, where as people see Stacie as a busty sex fiend who can't have a real relationship. Stacie also knew the real Beca, the most kind and humble loving girl who has the biggest heart and an undying passion for music, not the weird little cold and heartless alt-girl who had no friends. When it came to school both were always at the top of there class but no one ever really noticed.

Grabbing her bag which contained her mixing equipment, Beca started to clear space on her desk to set it all up when the inevitable happened. Her father came into the room and saw her setting her equipment up.

"Are you serious right now Beca? you're already on that crap" Warren said in a deep voice.

Rolling her eyes and taking a deep breath she turns around to face him "Hello father. Sheila"

"You need to stop trying to be Diddy and start taking your studies serious Beca enough with this music crap" He said in an agitated tone.

Beca stood up and laughed "First off I do take my studies serious ok? I got As and Bs all through High School but of course you didn't know. Secondly this "music crap" is my dream and my passion" By the end she was face to face with her dad.

Warren shook his head "This isn't High School Beca ok? things are different here just ask Stacie look at her" he points at Stacie who has a book in her hand "She'll tell you, look she already has her book open, maybe sharing a room you'll follow in her footsteps and purse a real career and actually make something of yourself and not become a failure"

After hearing this Stacie immediately looks at Beca and knows she's doing her absolute best not to blow her top off.

Beca just stares at her dad in disbelief and that voice in her head starts up. Of course he wants me to be more like Stacie! GOD I'm sick of hearing this shit. This is all I've heard the past year from him plus him constantly putting down my dream to be in the music industry. I need out of here.

Shaking her head "Whatever I'm not doing this shit, I'm out" She pushed past her father and walked out her room. 20 minutes, 20 fucking minutes it took him to piss her off and once again question her life. A life that he never showed any care for unless it concerned his reputation. She really wished that she didn't care but deep down the constant belittling from him always hurt her. What hurt most was when her dad would say she was a failure or disappointing, maybe he was right she thought.

Stacie was shocked to say the least, she knew Beca and her dad didn't get along but this was different. They weren't this bad when she left and couldn't imagine where this came or how long this has actually been going on. Shaking out of her shock she abruptly stood up and approached Warren.

"Warren that was bit much Beca is actually extremely bright and always does great in school and her music talent is beyond this world. She is no where near being a failure and absolutely doesn't need to follow my footsteps, she's fine just how she is." Stacie says before quickly running out the door to find Beca.

Stacie sprinted towards the quad where she knew the activities fair was occurring and started her search. The quad was absolutely packed with students and what looked liked endless booths. She started navigating through the crowd and booths but was having no luck till she came to a clearing. Perks of being 5'8 and wearing mid-top Air Forces giving her an extra height boost, is that she can clearly see over people. Eyes scanning the crowd rapidly she spots her across the lawn.

Stacies takes off in a full sprint once again "BECA!" she shouts out finally catching up to her and placing a hand on her shoulder.

Beca turns around looking as her best friend in amusement and arching her eye brow "What's up Stace" Beca chuckles.

"I... Was... I was.." Pausing taking a deep breath and standing straight "I was fucking sprinting from our room looking for YOU".

Smirking at her best friends state "You need to lay off them cookies legs, I was just here".

Giving Beca a light shove "Well I know that NOW, it's just I got worried when you took off" Stacie said in soft tone.

"I'm sorry Stace, it's just he really pisses me off" Beca looked downward while talking.

"Hey I know, but no worries I may have told him off a bit after you left and he most likely won't be there when get back" She smiled and patted Beca on the head ruffling her hair.

"Thanks Stace" Beca looked up and smiled at her.

"Alright!" Exclaimed Stacie causing Beca to jump startled "Let's get this party started" She shouted causing people to look at them.

"Great I'm rooming with a weirdo" She said earning a slap on her shoulder "OW dude"

"Come on Becs lets join a club" Stacie said while pulling the smaller girl's arm.

"Stace it'll be lame and I don't want to" Beca grumbled.

"Come on Beeee" Stacie whined "Let's see if something involves music".

Hearing the whiny voice "Fine but only cuz you mentioned music" Beca says.

Stacie grabs her hand and happily starts dragging Beca around while smiling. "Here we go" Beca said to herself knowing Stacie was undoubtedly going to get her to join something.
