After the events at the activities fair, Beca's life had went back to normal. Her not showing up to classes, her staying in bed making mixes, her bundling up with a mountain of blankets and munching on snacks. She had only gotten up to answer her phone when the station had called to tell her that she had gotten into the internship program. She would have to start that next week so until then it was totally okay to just chill in her blanket cave.
She threw her phone on her desk and turned around, stubbing her toe on the edge of the dorm bed, cursing under her breath and hobbling to the side of the bed. When she reached the side, she got up on the tips of her toes and dove back into the blankets, sighing happily as the warmth surrounded her body completely.
This whole college thing was way too easy. Yeah her dad may have forced her to come to the school but he couldn't actually force her to go to class. Unless he rented a forklift and lifted her out of this joint. Beca scoffed, picturing her dad trying to forklift her out of her bed. She then proceeded to giggling and then stuff a cheeto into her mouth.
She now had a job that could occupy her time until she could finally leave this god forsaken place and go to LA. However, there was one thing that kept itching at the back of Beca's head. Red hair and sea blue eyes that Beca wanted to just drown in. Chloe had been on the edge of her thoughts for the past month and Beca had yet to see her again. It's a small campus so Beca thought that they would have ran into each other by now, right? Wrong.
Beca had not seen the annoyingly perky redhead nor the annoying blonde. Maybe it is because she had said no to the stupid acapella group. Good going miss anti-social. Beca forcefully threw her head back into her numerous amount of pillows and just looked at the ceiling.
You're never gonna see her again, idiot.
Beca had shown up to her internship at the station and had messed up in the first five minutes. Luke, the station manager, still thought her name was Becky. The boy from the car who had been playing the air guitar had supposedly signed up for the internship too so that meant that she would have to deal with his all American boy charm for a while. Beca could definitely tell that he had been flirting with her the whole time and yeah it was kind of cute but she was not here to make friends or lovers. A flash of red popped into her head and she had to hit her temple to push the thoughts away. She could not have the redhead either.
Beca was not here to get close to anyone no matter what. Hell, she did not want to get close to anyone ever because they always end up leaving and destroying the tiny bits of soul she has left. She did not want to be completely soul less because that would mean she could not create music and that is just tragic.
As she was walking home from the station and trying to give herself a small pep talk about being a cold-hearted bitch, she ran straight into a tall blonde.
"Aca-scuse me!" The feminine voice screeched out.
Oh shit. Beca knew this judgmental voice and it sent shivers running down her spine.
The two sets of eyes met and both jumped back as far as possible. The blonde's curled hair had tangled into her raincoat as a result of the impact. The blonde tried fixing her hair while trying to keep an eye on Beca. Beca just awkwardly stood there waiting for the blonde to say something or just continue walking like she thought she would.
Aubrey just stood there eyeing Beca, causing the tension to immensely rise between the two. Beca was surprised the cops hadn't been called yet for public disturbance.
"Alt girl."
"Aca-Bitch."
Aubrey tried to hold a smirk back at Beca's retort. Aubrey smoother her hands over her raincoat, brushing away imaginary dust and dirt. Her eyes scanned the vicinity before falling back on Beca.
"Haven't seen you around. Auditions are coming up. Not like I want you there or anything. Just stating a fact."
"I've been busy, ya know. The fascinating life of a Barden Freshmen. Wasn't even considering your stupid offer about acapella. Totally not my thing."
The blonde drew her lips back in thought. Her eyes looked around again acting as if she was too good to even be standing near the brunette. This is the exact reason why she does not get close to people or even talk to them. That thought snapped Beca into reality. Why was she just sitting here taking Aubreys crap. It's not like she has to sit here and listen to her annoying voice tell her that she does not even want her at the stupid auditions.
"Okay well this has been fun but I'm gonna go be anywhere but here," she said.
Beca spun on her heels, hands clutching her backpack straps as tight as possible to the point of her knuckles turning white. She hates popular annoying girls and their stupid communication skills.
"I was just wondering because Chloe keeps asking about you, Alt Girl!" Aubrey's voice trailed from behind Beca.
She ignored the fact that her heart started doing some dubstep shit upon receival of that certain info and tried to practically run to the dorms as fast as her tiny little wiener dog legs would allow. Why would Chloe be asking about her? Just another freshmen? Chloe probably had met a million freshmen in her life, why was Beca any different.
No, no, no.
Beca could not afford to think this way. She can not be different. She can not be anyone's friend. She is just supposed to come, do here time, then get out forever and put this stupid town behind her.
God, why was Beca even thinking about this. Chloe probably thought Beca was annoying and was wanting to tell her to stay away forever and that she actually did not want her to join their acapella group. Chloe probably had not even thought about the brunette once since the activities fair and Aubrey had just made that up to mess with her. Yeah, that had to be it.
Beca tried to catch her breath as she slammed the door, leaning her forehead against the door, finally safe behind her dorm door. Her only safe place in this whole University.
"Oh no the white girls back."
Ok, yep time for a shower. Her other safe place.
