Chapter 3
I went to science class and of course there was Bumper sitting there, I walked over and started talking to Beca. Soon enough the teacher came in and told us about an easy science project that we would work on with partners. I instantly looked at Beca and she looked at me but the teacher said that he would choose partners; He decided that boy girl partners would be fun so I was paired with Bumper. Ugh this year is not starting off well I thought.
After class Bumper came up to me and started talking to me "So want to stop by my room after school so we can work on our "Project", I looked at him as he just stared at me waiting for an answer.
" I would but I am busy after school" I said.
"Ok but tomorrow, okay" he asked me.
" Yup" I smiled and left for my next class
After classes I went to my room to meet Beca, we practiced but the time to leave for the audition came way to fast. As we walked over there I was so nervous. I didn't tell Bumper about me auditioning because he would probably just laugh at me because he doesn't seem like the singing type.
When we got there I saw lots of people trying out, I was nervous but it was going down a bit.
"Next up is Brooke Stratton" I heard the voice say and that's when I knew there was no going back.
I walked out onto stage and who do I see sitting there in the crowd, BUMPER. This guy is like a stalker of some kind, I basically stood there staring at him while he sat there staring at me.
"When ever you're ready" Chloe said to me
I just closed my eyes and started singing
Gonna make a heart-throb out of me
Just a bit of minor surgery
These desperate times call for desperate measures
I'll give you something to cry about
Show some skin, and would be, caché
How could you let this get to desperate measures now?
For a first effort this,
Feels kinda last ditch
I guess this just
Got kinda drastic
Trust us you just fell off the bus, baby
I can't let this, I can't let this, I can't let this go
I can't let this, I can't let this go
(Desperate measures)
I can't let this, I can't let this go
When I got you right where I want you
I been pushing for this for so long
Kiss me, just once, for luck
These are desperate measures now
When I finished I just stood there looking and Chloe and Aubrey," Awesome" Aubrey said and I walked off stage. Before I walked off I caught a glimpse of Bumper. His jaw was wide open.
Bumper's POV
After class I asked Brooke if she would come to my room to work on the project but she said she was busy, I was sad but then I remembered I had to go to Auditions.
After all of my classes I went to my room, changed and headed off to auditions.
"Hey dirtball" Aubrey said when I walked into the auditorium.
"Hey beef cake, or should I say BARF cake" I said as I pretended to throw up.
Aubrey didn't say anything but she just huffed and turned away, 1 point for Bumper I thought to myself as I had a seat beside Donald with the other Trebles. I was waiting for someone good until I heard some guy named Jesse, he was good." Hey Donald I want him" I told Donald.
After Jesse I heard the announcer say Brooke, couldn't be my Brooke because she was busy I thought to myself.
I waited for this Brooke to come on but when she did it was my Brooke, I was confused. She said she was busy, oh maybe busy with this. Oh well lets see if she's any good.
After her audition I saw in shock, I knew she could shower sing but not like stage sing.
Brooke's POV
After I was done my audition Aubrey said that if we were chosen we would know it by tonight. I was walking back to my door when Beca ran up to me," Hey do you think you got in?" She asked me." I don't know" I said as I shrugged my shoulders.
We were walking back when all of a sudden Beca and I got bags on our heads and were being dragged somewhere, Must be Aubrey I thought to myself.
When they finally stopped dragging us they would call our name, what part we sang and then rip the bag off our head. I was an alto along with Beca and some other people.
We had to recite an oath and such and then we went to a party called Aca-initiation night.
When we got there I didn't know what to do because Aubrey and Chloe were off, Beca was with Jesse and everyone else was just everywhere. I walked around until I saw Bumper; I was going to talk to him but some blond chick by the name of Fat Amy got to him first. So I just sat down. Bumper was talking to Amy but he looked over her shoulder and I waved to him and smiled. A few minutes later he got rid of her and came to sit with me.
"So Fat Amy huh" I teased him
"Ya umm no" He laughed
We were talking for a while but eventually I had to ask him something.
"So why are you mean to everyone else except me?" I asked him
"Because you're special" He said without paying attention, I stared at him like "What" and he was obviously embarrassed. We sat there staring at each other for a while until he came in to kiss me. I was going to but I couldn't, I didn't know him well enough. So I just got up and left, it was mean but I had to do it. Besides kissing leads to other things and I am not supposed to fool around with Trebles.
