"Y-ya of course." Beca said with a reassuring grin.
"Okay great." Chloe replied with a shy smile.
There was a small awkward silence between the two before the bell rung and Chloe was the first to speak.
"Oh well I got to go to class, I guess I'll see you around?"
"I'm sure of it." Beca smirked in response. As Chloe turned around and walked away, Beca just watched as the redhead never failed to stand out.
Friday Afternoon
Beca had been sitting outside for a while in just black jeans and a white tank top. She had decided to skip school with the gang but was planning to go pick the redhead up. She had been throwing rocks in the creek but now sat on a tall rock by it.
"Hey Beca!" Jesse screamed from across the creek.
Beca looked up and spotted Jesse yelling.
"What do you want?!" Beca screamed back.
"What are you doing?! We're all about to play some football!"
Beca replied irritated. "I'll pass Jesse!"
"Come on, you're the best quarterback on my team!" Jesse groaned.
He trudged his way down a small hill over to the creek making a small jump across it to walk towards Beca.
"Did you not hear me? Just to be clear I said no." Beca said amused.
"I heard you fine alright, but I am here to persuade you."
"And what exactly are you going to do to persuade me?"
"Hmmm well I don't know but how about….. THIS!" Jesse got a hold of Beca and started tickling her.
"JESSE!" Beca screamed with laughter.
"What are you going to do about it?!"
In response Beca managed to punch Jesse in the stomach letting Beca go.
"Hah! I win Jesse!"
"You suck you know that?" Jesse said while rubbing his stomach.
"Ya well you're the one who can't take a punch." Beca stated.
"Whatever." Jesse mumbled.
"But because I'm the best, I'll be qua-"
"YES!" Jesse exclaimed while grabbing Beca by the arm.
I totally change my mind Beca said to herself.
There was about 20 minutes until school was going to end so Beca had decided to start heading there. They were all at a small abandoned house a couple miles away but she liked taking her time.
"Hey guys I'm gonna start heading back."
"Oh c'mon Beca, we were just going to start some poker." Cynthia Rose complained.
"Look I really got to go."
"Boooooo!" Amy was over exaggerating but it was because she was already drunk.
Before Beca could begin to laugh though Amy threw her beer bottle at Beca. It had just missed her but some of pieces shattered and a small gash formed on her left shoulder.
"AMY! WHAT THE HELL?!" Beca yelled.
Amy just began to laugh as she sat down in her chair again.
"Okay well I'm leaving now." Beca said annoyed. She got into her cheap silver Sedan and looked in the mirror. It wasn't that bad but the blood was obvious. Beca grabbed her black leather jacket from the back seat and put it on to cover it. She just tried to ignore the slight pain on her way to pick up Chloe.
Beca had been standing outside her car for just a couple a minutes until she spotted the redhead.
"Hey!" Beca greeted first.
"Hey Beca!"
Chloe had expected that she had bailed on plans considering that she wasn't at school today and was happily surprised to have seen that she showed up.
Beca just stood there looking at the redhead as she got closer thinking about what she was going to say next.
"So are you ready to go work on our project?" Chloe asked.
"Well yes of course I am! What else would I rather be doing" Beca responded sarcastically.
Chloe laughed. "Yes I can see you totally are."
"Look, I just thought we can do something before working."
"And what do you have in mind?"
"Well are you hungry?"
"Not particularly but if you have a place in mind then I don't mind." Chloe said.
"Are you sure? I mean I know this cool joint but-"
"Yes Beca, just drive." Chloe said with a smile, buckling her seatbelt.
They arrived at a place called "Outsiders Burgers" and sat down in a booth near the window. The place was pretty new but Beca and her friends had made the place a regular hang out. The people who worked there were always pretty chill and didn't annoy Beca with a fake peppy attitude.
Soon enough, Beca's friend Michael came to their booth to take their orders.
"Hey Beca! Welcome back and I see you brought a friend." He said with a wink.
"Hey Michael, yeah this is my friend Chloe. Chloe this is Michael."
Chloe greeted Michael with her usual bright smile.
"Hi Michael, it's nice to meet you."
"And it's nice to meet you too Miss Chloe. Now I did come here to take your orders or at least what you'd like to drink?"
Both Beca and Chloe ordered a root beer and looked over the menu. Chloe got a regular hamburger and Beca got one with cheese. Right away they seemed to have a few common interests but a lot more competitive opinions. This however wasn't a bad thing because they only laughed and bantered much more naturally. Although Beca was a lot more defensive than Chloe was. Chloe wasn't so sure about Beca at first but she somehow felt comfortable around her. She knew Beca's reputation and all but it didn't bother her like how much her friends did.
After a while their food finally came to their table. Chloe took her first bite.
"This tastes really good" said the redhead with some food in her mouth.
"That's good to hear" the brunette replied with a small smile.
They continued their meal with more silence than small talk but soon enough the worse was about to come.
"Shit" Beca muttered.
"Why what's wrong?"
"It's The West 6" she told Chloe.
"The what?"
The W-6 walked into the place laughing and the leader Bumper spotted Beca almost immediately.
"Well well well isn't this a surprise. Look guys its Beca Mitchell!" Bumper yelled.
"Shut up dickhead" the brunette responded while standing up from her seat.
"No need to swear in front of this lovely young lady" he said pointing at Chloe.
"Oh no it's fine" the redhead responded with an unsure voice.
"Well aren't you a sweet thing." He put out his hand for her to shake it. "I'm Bum-"
"Get lost Bumper" Beca said with an annoyed tone while pushing his hand away from Chloe.
"Huh I'm just trying to be polite you shit"
"How about you go be polite somewhere else then, c'mon Chloe lets go"
Beca put out her hand for the redhead to grab. Chloe automatically the offer and was out of there in a blink of an eye. Beca held onto Chloe's hand until they got to the car and she immediately began to drive off.
"What was that all about?"
