Beca woke up feeling unrested. She knew she had Bellas rehearsals today and to be honest she was nervous. Not because she couldn't sing or the fact that she had no idea how to be in an acapella group but because she really didn't want this to be a mistake. The fact that Chloe texted her a simple "can't wait to see you" text in the middle of the night made Beca's mind go a million different places. This girl was really friendly and over stepped her boundaries but Beca was thankful that someone would welcome her at rehearsals today.

"Hey!" Chloe was running to Beca at full force and Beca didn't know if she should stand there or run the opposite way as fast as she could

"Wow okay, hi" Beca couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when Chloe hugged her. She honestly couldn't remember the last time she hugged...anyone. Was it her last "fling" with Kelly? No. Beca didn't hug her once, she was sure of that. She frowned for a split second thinking how sad it was she couldn't remember the last time someone hugged her.

"Sorry, I'm a hugger. Come, follow me. You have to meet everyone!" Chloe grabbed Beca's hand and led her to the group of girls waiting.

"This is Beca everyone, she's amazing!"

A collective "Hey" came from the group and Beca took the chance to look around the room at the faces staring at her. Her gaydar ringing when landing upon Cynthia Rose. Hey at least there would be someone to talk to about girls. But, from the looks of it, Stacie already had Cynthia Rose's attention. Then there was "Fat Amy" who immediately made Beca laugh throwing up some sort of gang sign to say hello to her.

"Beca, you can stand over there. We need to start running through choreography for our songs." There was Aubrey getting straight to it.

"You are going to love it here, I promise." Chloe winked as she walked to her spot.

Somehow Beca didn't believe her yet.


"NO! God, why are these moves so hard to understand!"

Beca's dislike for Aubrey had hit a maximum and it was taking all of her not to punch her right there

"Aubrey, it is a new group. Give them time." Chloe was obviously the peace maker of the two

"Cardio, now!"

"Cardio? No one told me there was cardio when I signed up." Fat Amy protested as Aubrey pushed her into the direction of the stairs

"Seriously cardio?" I whispered to Chloe who stayed behind with me as I moved slow to head to the stairs

"Trust me, you are going to need it. I know Aubrey makes it sound like death but we do need to be in good shape to do all the dances."

"Right, the dances." Beca was not the dancing type and had failed miserably so far today at rehearsals.

"Don't worry Bec, you'll get them down. That will come. Just keep singing with your pretty little voice and everything will be okay." Chloe squeezed her hand before running off into a light jog ahead of her

"Are we done yet?" Beca could hear Fat Amy yell across the room

"We just started a minute ago Amy!"

"I know, but I crushed that minute don't you think? I'm good to turn in now"

Beca couldn't help but laugh knowing Aubrey was probably about to kill Amy.


After rehearsals Beca ran to the radio station where she would be working. She was hoping that she would be able to play her music and gain some attention for it while working here.

"Luke?"

"You must be Becky. I've arranged some boxes over there, start stacking those CDs would you?"

"Uh sure, cool." Stacking CDs? This sucked.

"Hey! Sorry I'm late man, busy morning."

"Jesse? You're late. Help Becky stack CDs. Thanks." He closed the door and left Beca and Jesse alone

"It is actually Beca, nice to meet you."

"I'm Jesse in case you didn't hear. So, stacking CDs huh? I'm surprised people aren't fighting for this job. We were the lucky ones."

"Shut up, I really just wanted to play my music."

"Your music? You sing?"

"Well yeah, but I make beats and create mashups. I want to be a DJ."

"Sweet! I sing too, but I want to create scores for movies."

"Yikes movies? Not really into that."

"That is a joke right? A really not funny joke?"

"No, sorry to offend you but movies are just to cliche and the endings are too predictable "

"You just broke my heart. Congratulations, it only took you about 3 minutes. I thought I was at least going to be able to ask you out on a date or two before you did that."

"Sorry to burst your bubble. But, I'm gay."

"What?! Man, all the hot ones are."

"Don't start spreading that around either? I usually don't care what people think but I'm in the group the Barden Bellas and I'm not sure how well they would take it yet."

"You are a Bella? I'm a Treble."

"Great, even more reason not to say anything right now. That whole acapella world is weirdly close."

"Hey, you are apart of that acapella world now."

"Don't remind me."

"Well, since you are gay and all, can you hook me up with some girls in the Bellas?"

"First off, no. Second off, Aubrey would strangle you with her scarf if you and a Bella got together. Strict no Treble rules."

"Rules are meant for breaking." Jesse winked and Beca cringed just a little. Somehow it is just not as hot when a guy does it.

"No can do."

"Again, breaking my heart. You're killing me Becky."

"Beca."

"When I call you can I say BECAWWW"

"Stop that right now."

"You like it? BECAWWWW"


how was practice? I'm sorry Aubrey was a bit much today. She is just stressed because everything is still new and not working.

A text from Chloe.

It was good. Don't worry I can take Aubrey.

Wasn't worrying. You look like you can handle yourself ;)

Winky faces now? Beca didn't even know how to respond

what? do I look scary or something?

oh so you weren't trying to look like the hulk? This is embarrassing I totally thought that was what you were going for.

Why does it seem like she is flirting?

HA HA HA.

That was all Beca could manage to say to that. It was weird with Chloe. Beca never had a "friend" who was just so open and into every conversation they had. She was still too new at this girl group friendship thing to banter back and forth with Chloe right now.

Her phone lit up with one more text from the redhead.

P.S. there is going to be an acapella group party this friday. Sort of like a welcome to our world party. It is at one of the Treble's houses. It is kind of mandatory for you to be there, and look hott!

A party? Beca was really not ready for that.

I really have to go?

yes, no exceptions. You're one of us now.

Ugh, okay. Fineeeeeeee

I think your e key might be stuck.

Fuck you.

Crap, Beca didn't know if Chloe was offende by cursing. If she was, Beca probably would fall out of her good graces pretty quickly. Luckily another text from Chloe solved the issue.

Don't hate the playa hate the game.

Beca couldn't help but smile.
