Hey guys. Hope you're enjoying this. Today I'm going to try to post two new chapters, since this one's a bit short. Becs, your review came in through my email, but apparently if you don't log in it won't count as a review. Anyways, I just did the exact same thing basically as the movie for the first two chapters, because I kind of just wanted to set up the story for now. So you're all comfortable :3
Btw I'm changing the rating to an M for later chapters, and I also changed the chapter names to correspond to song titles and song lyrics. This chapter's name is from Girls like Girls by Hayley Kiyoko. Feel free to suggest songs I should listen to, and possibly name my chapters after.
I'm basically collabing with socreativeitsreal but she just helps come up with ideas. I don't know why but the link to her story won't work so just search her up on fiction press, her story is called Beyond Control.
Anyways, I should stop blabbing and let you enjoy :D
Chapter 3: Tell me if you feel it too
Beca POV
"And I solemnly promise never to have sexual relations with a treblemaker, or may my vocal cords be ripped out by wolves." I rolled my eyes. With that big of a stick up her ass, how does she manage to do anything, let alone walk? I'm not even that into guys, especially after... No, I'm not going to think about that here. Barden is a new place, with new people, and if everyone is as nice or even half as nice as Chloe. Well, what's happened before shouldn't happen here. My ears were twitching uncomfortably under my beanie, and I sighed. Chloe was so open with being a Neko, so I guess Barden has to be okay with it. Still, I can't help but feel like the same things that happened to me before, people beating me up, calling me a pussy and thinking they're being hilarious, and... and that other thing, I shuddered. Maybe I'll be open about it some other day. Suddenly, cheers and screams burst out all around me, and my ears instinctively flattened on my head. I guess I missed the closing statement or something, but from the way the lights suddenly flashed on, and everyone was bouncing up and down that had to be it. The tiny sip of wine that I took from that massive goblet left a bittersweet taste on my tongue. Well, no backing out now I guess. We sped through the doors, well everyone else did I sort of just got sucked into the pull. I slowed down and let myself walk just behind them. Chloe whispered something to Aubrey, who sent a vicious side eye over at me. I smirked and gave a little wave, and her eyes narrowed even more. Chloe bounced over to me, I swear everywhere she goes she looks like a bouncing ray of sunlight. Especially with that fiery hair.
"Hey, what's up?" She purred. Well that's impressive, I'm not even sure if it's possible for me to do that.
"Uh, nothing much. I mean we're walking over to, actually I have no idea where we're going." Smooth Beca real smooth. Her smile seemed to light up the whole world, even though we were walking in the darkness. I couldn't help but feel an actual smile spreading across my own face. Ugh, what is this girl doing to me? First she invades my shower, then she gets me to actually smile? Who knows what's next? Suddenly the dirty part of my mind invaded my thoughts and I couldn't help but blush. Thank god for the darkness.
"Well, we're just going over to the Party Pit, as I call it." Chloe replied, and I realized that somehow while I was drifting into some weird part of my thoughts, she had linked her arm with mine, and had her beautiful ginger tail casually wrapped around my waist. My own tail twitched on my back, where I had stuck it on, and I could feel its yearning to wrap around Chloe's tail. I sighed and grimaced, and I could feel her tail unwrap from it's way around my waist, and her arm slowly leaving mine. Her smile flickered and dimmed down, and I could see the doubt in her blue eyes that flickered just like a cat's in the moonlight. My own eyes widened, and I immediately pressed closer to her, smiling widely to show that I didn't mean to scare her off. I bit my lip, and hoped that she got the hint that I wasn't annoyed at her. Her smile slowly flickered back across her face, and she held on tightly to my side, her body heat was keeping me warm in the cool night, and I couldn't help but feel safe by her side. I know that's really corny and all, but that's what Chloe makes me feel. Because really, behind this badass exterior and all, I do care about others, I have just seen too many people not care about me.
"Why are you hiding?" She suddenly whispered into my ear.
"What? What do you mean I'm-" Then I realized exactly what she was talking about and I couldn't help but look anywhere but at her.
"You're beautiful. So why are you hiding?" She glanced up at my head, and I could feel her tail lightly brush over mine through the thick material of my coat.
"I-I've been hurt. All my life, for being a Neko." I could feel an icy lump burning in my throat. Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, for the love of god do not fucking cry Beca Mitchell. I swallowed it down as best as I could, but I could still feel a tiny shard burning inside of me.
"What is to say I won't be hurt here?" I whispered, hoping that the wind would pull it away before Chloe could hear me. Of course, I forgot about her enhanced hearing. I could tell she heard loud and clear because she pulled me deep into a hug. I slowly relaxed in her arms, and hugged her back slightly. I am still not quite ready for a full on hug. When she pulled back I almost pouted from the loss of contact. Almost. Chloe has changed me for sure, but no way am I going to be longing for hugs.
"Hey, here at Barden. We don't discriminate. I mean, we're not the only ones out here that are different." She looked deep into my eyes, and then winked. My heart immediately stopped. God, what the hell is this girl doing to me? She bit her lip and looked at mine, fuck, I don't think my heart can deal with Chloe Beale being this close to my face. She leaned in closer, but I stood still, feeling my heart racing in my chest and a deep blush burning across my face that wasn't just because of the cold. Oh no, I'm a hella lot hotter now than I was before. There is no way I'm making the first move, so I just stood still. I'm probably misreading the whole thing anyways. But slowly, inch by inch, she leaned in closer until our faces were almost touching, and...
"Chloe Beale, you better come and lead the new Bella's with me. Or I swear to god I'm going to rip out your vocal cords myself." I stumbled backwards, and Chloe pulled back with a gasp. She shot me an apologetic look and sprinted off towards Aubrey. I couldn't help but feel cold.
