I'm sorry I didn't get to update yesterday! I tried my best but I kind of ran out of time with my first day of school and all that. I really appreciate the positive feedback and I thank you guys for that. It really brings a smile to my face and encourages me a lot. Anyways I hope you enjoy the chapter!
The Next Day….
Beca decided to make it on time for her Science and she was glad that she did. The class was being assigned partners for a project and Beca had been paired up with Chloe.
"Chloe, you can be with….. Beca." Mrs. Kingston nodded to herself assuring that she made a good choice.
Both Beca and Chloe smiled slightly at the pair up.
"Well it looks like you're stuck with me for a while." Beca told Chloe with a wink.
"I'm sure it'll be a wonderful challenge."
"And exactly what do you mean by that?!" Beca asked.
"Oh nothing, nothing at all." Chloe said while putting her glasses back in place.
Beca playfully rolled her eyes. "So what are we even doing?"
"Well that" Chloe responded as she slammed a sheet paper down in front of Beca. "Is written all on here so have fun. I hope it's not too much work for you."
Beca stared down at the paper and back at the redhead with a smile. This was going to be fun, she just hoped it wasn't as much work.
I must've tumbled out of a plane
Cause I free-fell all year
My chute is blooming out like spring
And I'm nowhere now, but here
But I've seen your long hair come down
It turned my head inside out
And I want you, I want you
I still do

"Beca!"
"What!" Beca exclaimed while quickly taking her headphones off.
"You haven't been paying attention to anything I've been saying!" Jesse complained.
"Sorry, you should know by now that I'm not going to listen with my headphones on."
"Well I thought I would be your exception."
"Well you thought wrong, but I'll listen to your stupid story for just 2 minutes. That's it." Beca answered.
The two of them had been sitting in the cafeteria with a few other friends. Beca had never really listened to what any of them said but she knew it wouldn't be anything interesting anyways.
"What? Are you gonna time me?" Jesse asked.
"Now that you brought it up, ya I am."
Jesse rolled his eyes. "Fine, but you better listen."
"Fair enough."
Jesse began to talk about what he had done with the boys yesterday night. "So Johnny, Dally and I were out at the new club down on West Street and…."
Right at that moment Beca started to tune out. It's not that she even wanted to it was just that she had spotted Chloe. Her red hair a couple tables away, it was something that she just couldn't miss. Beca didn't realize how much she loved watching from a far, she didn't even know why she felt the way she did. There was something just, different about her and not just the fact that she was one to just be into school.
"BECA!" Jesse screamed.
"WHAT OH MY GOD?" Beca said as she snapped out of her thoughts.
"You're not listening again! You're such a lil shit." Jesse replied annoyed.
"Look I'm sorry I was just….. thinking." Beca mumbled.
"Whatever, I got to go now though. See you later I guess." Jesse responded irritated.
Beca shook her head at how annoyed Jesse was.
Just suck it up Jesse my gosh. She thought to herself.
The other people at her table had also left and now she was there by herself. She looked around again and her eyes fell upon the redhead once more.
Okay Mitchell you can do it. Just go up to her and say hi.
Beca slowly stood up gaining some confidence and walked towards the redhead. Her back was towards Beca trying to get something out of her bag and Beca smiled at how cute she looked.
"He-"
Before Beca could even finish, Stacie had jumped right in front of Beca pushing Chloe out of the way.
"Hey Beca. How are you?" Stacie asked with a slight smile.
"Ummm fine I guess."
Stacie was the most spoiled girl in the entire school. She got everything she wanted, whenever she wanted and practically all the guys were in love with her. It would be a lie if Beca said she wasn't pretty but it just hadn't worked out before.
With a small chuckle Stacie replied. "That's good. You want to know something cool?"
Beca went on her tippy toes to swiftly look over Stacie's shoulder and the redhead wasn't there. She immediately rolled her eyes.
"No not really Stacie I'm not in the mood." Beca said as she slightly pushed Stacie out of the way.
Stacie being a bit angered and shocked just yelled back at her. "Okay! Talk to you soon Beca!"
Chloe was at her locker getting ready for class when Aubrey had come by.
"Hey Chloe" Aubrey greeted with a smile.
"Hi" Chloe said in an annoyed way.
"What's up with you?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well you seem kind of, off."
"I don't know what you're talking about but I have to get to class."
Aubrey tried to grab Chloe's arm but it failed to do a thing.
Chloe didn't even know why she was even acting this way. All she saw was Stacie flirting with Beca, that was it. She had no idea why she was feeling so jealous. They weren't dating and were barely even friends. Chloe decided that the feelings were just stupid and temporary.
What is the matter with me?!
Chloe shook her head in frustration walking down the hall with her books in hand until she collided and fell on her butt.
"Oh my gosh I'm sorry." Chloe apologized.
"No it's okay, I was looking for you anyways."
Right then Chloe looked up and immediately froze as she saw Beca looking down on her.
Beca held out her hand waiting for Chloe to take it but the redhead was having an overflow of feelings all at once that she could barely move.
"Um Chloe?"
"Ya?"
"I think you should get up, we're kind of in the middle of the hallway." Beca said as she smirked.
Chloe started to blush. "Oh right, I guess that would be a good idea."
She took Beca's hand and got up, trying her best to avoid direct eye contact.
"I've actually been wanting to talk to you Chloe."
Chloe just stood there with a smile tugging at her lips, looking down at her feet as the shorter brunette kept trying her best to make eye contact.
Beca couldn't help but smile as she saw how the redhead was being.
"I was just wondering if you'd want to hang out with me Thursday night. Work on our project and hang out?"
"Umm sorry I actually can't. I have a Book Club that night." Chloe answered sheepishly.
"Oh." Beca said without thought. That wasn't the answer she was expecting at all.
"But I am free Friday! If that works with you of course…"
