(A/N – Sorry for the lowkey Haitus! My writer's block is a bitch so I'll always appreciate plot ideas! I've also recently changed my name as I didn't like my nickname being used as my author name. Happy Valentine's day!)

Today was the day, Chloe thought smiling to herself. She hadn't been able to contain herself for days. The Bellas didn't think she could be any more excited and worried she would explode.

The Bellas were getting a new housemate. Not a Bella, but a housemate. Due to the lack of space and overcrowd at Barden University, rooms were scarce. But thanks to a certain professor teaching at the school, he was able to reserve a spot for his daughter, though there was only a room at the Bella house which he took gratefully as he thought it would also be a faster way for his daughter to make friends if she were trapped in a house full of social girls.

"Is she here yet?" a bubbly redhead asked practically bouncing down the stairs and almost eating it on the last step earning her a concerned glance from Aubrey.

"How do we know she's not going to kill us in our sleep?" Jessica asked the girls in the room. Most of them were evidently not happy about this newcomer they knew nothing about.

Stacie then gave her input. "Oh please, if we were going to die, Lily would've killed us already."

Several heads turned to the direction of the said possible serial killer who only shrugged and went back to making a voodoo doll that looked like god knows who.

"I don't care who this girl is. I don't want her coming in here pretending she's one of us." Aubrey then mumbled "She already took over my room."

Chloe's eyes instantly largened in sadness enough to break hearts. "You don't want to share a room with me?" she asked offended to which Aubrey quickly rushed in.

"Of Course Chloe, it's just.. I'm the Bella Captain and I should have my own room," she said with a small huff. Aubrey had to move in with Chloe after the girls received the news of the new girl's arrival. Apparently her dad reserved one whole room. It was really to fulfil his side of the deal.


A hesitant but firm knock echoed throughout the household. The new girl waited.

And waited

She knocked again before her impatience consumed her and she opened the door herself finding it to be unlocked. Poking her head in she was prepared to see a dozen of eyes already staring back at her. She expected some screaming maybe. Maybe even a 'get out' or an object launched at her, but there was nothing. Making a beeline for the empty room she assumed was upstairs, she came to find no one was home. Maybe they heard I was coming and moved out she joked to herself with a smirk.

Finding the empty room, she pulled in the luggage she was dragging behind her and set to work making her new living space as alternative and dark as she could. The more it screamed 'leave me alone' the less people that would come in to bother her. She just needed to live here for ..well who knew how long. But her dad had told her as long as he saw her making an effort, he would help her move and make music. Music was everything to her, she'd be damned to let some egotistical crazy girls that sang, take that away from her.

Suddenly the door downstairs slammed closed, a chorus of different voices filling the silence seconds after.

Shit

The newbie sprinted to her bedroom door closing it quietly and locking it. She wasn't ready to deal with them yet if she didn't have to. She hoped they'd get the hint with the locked door and leave her be. Holding her breath she listened as several footsteps approached, only letting go of it when they walked passed her door.

"Maybe she's already a drop out," Stacie said walking to her room, a small pout on her face. They'd been waiting for the new girl all day until they lost hope and went to a late night Theater meeting as they tended to help the freshman drama kids out with stage props and directions.

"We all know you wanted to meet her Stace," Jessica said with a nod towards Chloe who looked sadder. "Especially Chloe. But maybe they got the dates wrong and she'll be here tomorrow."

Aubrey scoffed quietly but otherwise said nothing. She would've turned around right then and slept in her own room but there would be no point as all of her stuff had already been moved into Chloe's room.


The new girl awoke with a sweat. Her eyes darted around the unfamiliar setting around her before she remembered where she was and calmed down. New surroundings never did her good. Her phone screen showed it was almost 2am. She slipped out of bed cautiously making her way into the kitchen. She'd managed to hide out all night but she wasn't trying to die of starvation, that's lame.

Managing to locate the kitchen she looked through the cabinets and fridge. God watch there be nothing but vegan shit

"Are you hungry?" The new girl almost gave herself whiplash turning to the sound of the voice. She felt like she'd been caught doing something bad. "Cause me too girl," Flo said walking into the kitchen and turning on the lights as if this was any usual conversation with someone she knew. Newbie could only stare at her as Flo went to a specific cupboard. "Those hoes don't eat anything good," she said pulling out several snacks. "This is me and Amy's cabinet." She then dumped a couple food items into the confused girl's hands before letting her eyes officially take in the new girl. "I'm Flo." But there was no reply. "Are you mute?" Flo then asked bluntly. Usually by this point a person would say thank you or at least introduce herself but the new girl did neither.

The girl blinked at Flo and was about to snap back until she realized this could be her way out. The easy way. If she was mute, no one would expect her to talk. It would take more attention off of her. Coming to the decision, she didn't reply. Instead she shoved her free hand into her pocket where she usually carried a few dollars incase she bumped into vending machines. She hurriedly put the cash into Flo's hand before darting to her room, the sound of snack bags giving her away.


The girl's eyebrows furrowed in annoyance, sun hitting her face. That's weird she thought. She had put up light blocking curtains when she arrived. Quickly sitting up incase she needed to defend herself, her complaint caught in her throat at the sight of a very anxious yet excited looking ginger. If she were honest, she had never seen a more beautiful person, though she wouldn't admit it. Ah fuck I'm dreaming

However, that so called 'dream' was cut short when the ginger spoke.

"You must be the new girl! What's your name?"
