*Friday Night*
*Chloe's P.O.V*
We were in Barden High; I hoped that Beca could make it. I knew she wouldn't let me down and I knew she wanted to come. The riff off was about to start when Jesse came with preoccupation in his face. "Hey girls, Beca isn't here yet?" And preoccupation in his voice too. "No, I don't know if she's going to come." I said sadly. "I think Sebastian is going to convince her. He said he'll take her here." Suddenly, Jesse's face changed. "WHAT?!"
"Oh my god is something wrong?" I asked scared. "Sebastian is going on the bus, the line 56. You know what line is it, right?" I nodded, and my nodded was transformed to a shook. "Imagine this, an old line of busses, late at night with a girl that is…" He felt his phone buzz and looked for it. When he read the text he just got, his eyes were bigger than normal. His breath started to shake and getting faster. "It's Beca." What?! Beca texted him? I thought she was mad at him, well she was until yesterday "What says?"I asked. And suddenly, everything he said was in slow motion.
Chapter 18
*Thursday, Beca's P.O.V*
"Beca" My dad said from behind the door "Beca, open up. You're late for school." His voice is so annoying at the morning. I growled in response. I took my clothes and most important thing, my phone. There was a few texts. Some from the girls, others from Jesse and one from Sebastian. I decided to read Sebastian's first.
6:30 AM
Sebastian
-Morning Beauty ;)
Cheese things annoys me, they're so dense. It sounds horrible to me. What are you supposed to text back when a cheesy text comes to you? Thanks? You too? I doubted for a few minutes until I decided to text. "Thanks, same to you." Pretty dry, I know, but I didn't feel comfortable being cheesy. Anyways, after all, we aren't a couple. So I don't have to be that cheesy with him. I opened the other texts.
Yesterday 11:8PM
Chlo
-Becs I'm sorry. I shouldn't have told them that we were going… I'm not gonna change my mind about jeca :(
-But our names are already there ;)
And finally, Jesse's one.
3:27AM
Swanson.
-I miss my work buddy at the radio station. Can we talk?
4:05AM
-At least I'll get to see you at the riff off tomorrow
Why was he awake that late? Fixing things via text never worked for me. If a person needed me, then that person has to do what that person has to if it wants to see me, but I can't be angry forever with him. Why was I angry anyways? It's not my business if he has a girlfriend or not. I don't have to care about it. He's my friend after all. And one of the closest I've ever had. I stared at the screen asking what I had to answer. "BECA, YOU'RE ALREADY LATE." Shit. I forgot to change. "JEEZ, I'm coming." I said walking (running) downstairs untangling my headphone's cord.
I was kinda annoyed for the fact that Chloe still tried to make me change my mind, or because she was forcing me to go to the damn Riff Off. I couldn't act like if it didn't bother me, besides it would look weird if someone is mad with you one day and then, that person loves you again. No, at least that's not how I do it.
I spent the whole day like I used to do it back to freshman year. Alone, like a loner. At the lunch I tried to don't make eye contact. Even though Chloe saw me and waved me to sit with them I turned around and ate my lunch mixing music. Only my headphones and I.
I was leaving school when Stacie took me by surprise. "Beca, right? You still remember us?" She said taking me by the arm. "Of course I do" I said rolling the eyes. "I'm not as stupid as you think." Behind Stacie, Chloe was standing. She had the "I'm a kicked puppy face". "Well, you know how's Ms. Beale. She feels guilty because you are mad with us." Stacie whispered to me. "Okay, I'm not mad I'm just…" I couldn't find a word to justify that I wasn't mad. "Annoyed?" Chloe asked. "Yeah. Annoyed. I see that Jesse already know about my presence in the Riff Off. Its gonna be harder to say No to him"
"Even though you are mad?" Stacie asked in a confused tone. "I can't be mad at him. I shouldn't. It's not normal when…" I realized what I was about to say and shut my mouth. I was not going to open to somebody else, not even the girls. "I have to, Go" I said as a excuse to leave. "She's gonna meet with Sebastian, right?" Chloe asked. "She's gonna meet with Sebastian." Stacie said taking out her phone.
*Jesse's P.O.V*
Luke told me that Beca changed her shift on the radio station. I felt so lonely; I had this space that one she can fill it. I needed to talk to her, I wasn't gonna be okay knowing that she was mad with me. Unfortunately, she starts her shift at 4PM, when I'm at school. So I'm gonna wait her at the end of her shift.
It was almost half past seven when I entered the Radio. "Swanson, you are early. It's about to rain right?" Luke joked with his British accent. I saw Beca's eyes get bigger when Luke said my name, she was about to turn her head to my direction but somehow, she knew I was watching her. "Ha ha ha, so funny."
"Look Luke, half past seven, shift is over. Bye" Beca said waling past us as fast as her short legs could. "What about the mixes for the Friday Becky?" Luke asked taking her by the wrist. I hold my laughter at the image of Beca counting to 100 to not to kill Luke, she was coursing him under her breathe. "BECA will give you the mixes tomorrow." She said emphasizing the word BECA. "Beca, wait." I said following her steps going outside. "Beca." I said taking her backpack making her lost her balance, I caught her just in time.
*Beca's P.O.V*
What day is today? The "Everybody grabs Beca by somewhere" day? Jesse followed me outside and took me by my backpack, I almost fell, but Jesse caught me. I crashed on his chest, his arms hugging my waist and my arms protecting my boobs from a painfully crash. "Oh hey, I didn't see you." I said obviously lying. "You did see me." He said. "You are pulling down your hair, that's what you do when you're nervous. And when you lie, you are nervous." This asshole knows a part of me very well. "What? Pf. I'm not nervous." I said looking at mi hands and putting them down. "Tell it to your red cheeks. Or is that that you're uncomfortable because we are this close?" He said releasing his arms. Neither of us realized the short distance. "Why are you mad?" He suddenly asked. "Are you serious?" I asked. "It seems like someone forgot what happened. Ask Jason, maybe he noticed it better than his big brother." Then I remembered why I was mad, and I also remembered that I told him that I had a crush on him. "Look, people say things they don't have to say. I do to, and I regret most of the things I said. Especially when I'm angry." My phone started ringing. It was Sebastian. "Bye." I said to Jesse before answering to Sebastian.
WE ARE SO CLOSE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO BECA ON FRIDAY. It took forever to write this short chapter and im really sorry guys. I'll try to be more active. Hopefully the chapter 19 will be out tomorrow. ALL MISTAKES GO FOR ME
