When Chloe got through the door that night, she quietly went upstairs hoping her mother wouldn't wake up but as she was walking down the hallway towards her room, the lights turned on and there stood her mother with a stern yet worried look on her face.

"Chloe, where were you and why didn't you call?"

"I'm sorry, I was going to but then I got caught up in something else."

"I was waiting up for you and now its 2am, no call, no text, no nothing, I didn't hear back from you at all, do you know how worried I was?"

"Mom, I'm sorry I wont do it again, I promise. I'm tired and I've had a long night, so can you please forgive me and let me rest."

"Alright, next time you need to keep in touch with me."

"Yes, I promise I will. Goodnight, I love you."

"Love you too, sweetie. See you in the morning."

When she got in her room she changed in her pajamas and finished up the last sheet of homework she had for calculous. She took of her makeup, brushed her teeth and washed her face before climbing into bed to finally fall asleep. Then her phone lit up when she got a text from a number she didn't recognize.

[5558827175 2:18AM]

"Hey stranger"

"Hmmm, I think its you who's the stranger"

[5558827175 2:22AM]

"You're right, guess who"

"Man, I'm not sure. Did you happen to punch someone for me tonight? ;)"

[5558827175 2:25AM]

"Sounds like whoever did that is a badass"

"Oh, she is."

[5558827175 2:28AM]

"Correct answer ;) How are you? How is your arm? Is your Mom mad at how late your home?

She then definitely knew who it was and added her name in her phone.

"Wow, so concerned. My arm is okay, just a little red it doesn't hurt that much anymore. My mom was kind of mad at how late I got home but then again I was the one who didn't call or text her at all tonight."

[Beca 2:32AM]

"Of course I'm concerned; you didn't deserve to be handled like that. I hope your moms not too mad, next time you come to one of our parties ill make sure you're not home too late"

Chloe couldn't help but smile at that message.

"Thanks for looking out for me."

[Beca 2:35AM]

"Anytime :) I guess ill let you go to sleep now, we still have school tomorrow and getting up is not going to be fun. See you tomorrow Chloe."

"Technically you'll see me in a few hours but goodnight Beca. Thank you for everything."

[Beca 2:38AM]

"Oh wow, excuse my mistake then, see you then ;)"

Chloe went to bed with a smile on her face that night, she's happy she made friends today, even more she's happy that she could call Beca Mitchell her friend. It almost felt like she was asleep for a few minutes when her alarm went off at 6:30. She groaned when her mother came in and repeated the process of yesterday morning pulling the covers off her and opening the curtains.

"Time to get up sweetie!"

"Mom, I am capable of getting myself up you don't need to come in here again."

"Its not my fault you decided to stay out super late last night."

"Again, I'm sorry, lesson learned, now please shut my curtains and give me a couple minutes."

"Okay, ill be back to check on you in ten minutes."

"Is that really necessary?"

And just like that her mother was out the door. She stayed in bed for at least another seven minutes when she finally convinced herself its time to get up. She went straight to the bathroom trying to wipe the sleep from her eyes. "Okay, I'm never going to a party on a Monday night ever again." She said to herself while splashing cold water on her face to completely wake her senses up. Soon after that Aubrey texted her asking if she wanted a ride to school, she accepted, finished getting ready and went downstairs.

"Okay mom, I'm going."

"Wait, don't you need me to drive you?"

"No that's okay Aubrey is picking me up. I'll see you later mom, love you!"

Aubrey pulled up and she went outside and headed to the car, once inside Aubrey spoke up.

"Chlo! Where did you go last night? I looked everywhere for you then someone told me you got a ride home, what happened?

"Nothing. It just got late and I didn't want to bother you guys so I got a ride."

"It wouldn't have been bothering us, we came with you, I feel bad you felt the need to ask someone else."

"Its okay she offered and it was too late for me to stay."

"Who drove you?"

"Beca."

"Mitchell?!" she asked surprised

"Yeah, why?"

"No reason, I just didn't know you two were friends."

"Yeah, well, we just started becoming friends. She's in two of my classes."

"Interesting."

"Why interesting?"

"Well, Beca Mitchell doesn't just go out of her way to talk to anybody. She's kind of, private, does her own thing, she's pretty up there on the well known list just like Jesse. I'm just surprised she's making new friends."

"Why is she private?"

"I'm not sure, she just likes to make music and be alone other than Jesse, Benji or Emily (Benji's girlfriend). She doesn't really let anyone in, she never notices anyone except evidently you."

Chloe let what Aubrey said sink in, was Beca really always closed off? And if so then why did she randomly start talking to her? She wanted to know but was wasn't going to ask until Beca was comfortable with her but she really for some reason couldn't wait to get to class and see her.

They got to school, talked a little, walked the halls then soon enough they had to go their separate ways to their lockers and start the day. She got to calculous and recognized some of the people in there now from the party last night but still didn't know their names. They continued the lesson from yesterday learning more about it. When the bell rang signaling second period she was off to find Aubrey. They met up near her locker and talked about how first period went. They got into History and saw they had a sub so the class ended up watching a movie 'Gladiator' which it was Chloe's first time seeing it and she thought it was awesome. When class was over she suddenly got really nervous to go to third period knowing she was going to see Beca, she's not sure why she keeps feeling this way when it comes to her she's just a person, she doesn't get nervous with Aubrey, why Beca?

When she got to the class she was surprised to see Beca already there and sitting next to the seat she sat yesterday, she sat down next to her.

"Someone's on time today." Chloe said smirking.

"Was I late yesterday?"

"No, but you barley made it."

"Jesse's fault, he walks as slow as molasses, hence the reason he still isn't here."

"Yeah, I'm surprised you guys are usually joined at the hip."

"Whoa, how did you know we were actually conjoined twins who got separated at birth?!"

"You're funny."

"Thanks, I want to be a comedian when I graduate."

"Really?"

"No." she laughed

"What do you want to do when you graduate?"

"I want to be a music producer."

"Wow, do you DJ?"

"Yeah, I like to make mixes."

"That's really cool Bec. You have to let me listen sometime!"

Beca smiled at the nickname the redhead called her. She usually didn't let anybody call her Bec unless they knew her well enough but she liked the way it sounded on Chloe's tongue.

"Yeah, maybe sometime." She smiled at the redhead

"Oh hey, here comes Jesse the turtle. Chloe said humorously.

Beca laughed. She liked how Chloe joked along with her about how slow Jesse was. He sat down next to Beca.

"Hey did we get new seats?" he said

"No." Beca said "She doesn't do assigned seats but I figured we could sit here and hang out with our new pal." She nudged Chloe.

"I'm so honored."

"We could become the three musketeers!" Jesse said with excitement "Seriously, and then for Halloween because seniors get to dress up, we could literally be the three musketeers."

Beca and Chloe shared a look that they both knew there's no way they would dress up with him as the three musketeers for Halloween.

"Good one Jess, maybe do that with Benji and Emily." Beca responded

"Ah, come on, it will be fun."

"No Jesse we're not dressing as the three musketeers." Chloe chuckled with her 'Plus, your street cred would go down the toilet."

"It would be worth it." He grinned

As class began the three of them kept talking quietly, laughing and becoming closer as friends. At one point Mrs. Murphy was walking up the isle handing out papers and her skirt got caught in the desk between Beca and Chloe and she stumbled a little, Beca and Chloe burst out laughing eventually too much she told them to go recollect them selves in the hall because they were being distracting to the other students, unfortunately Jesse missed the skirt situation so he had no idea why they were laughing. They went out into the hallway and tried to calm themselves down. They were sitting against the lockers and eventually calmed down.

"Is this the first time you got kicked out of class." Beca asked

"No, this one time in eighth grade we had a substitute and it was small class of twelve and I was in a weird mood and started taping forks everywhere. God knows why my teacher had a box of forks at his desk, maybe he didn't want to go through the stress of bring his own forks everyday, anyway, I just started taping them everywhere, the wall, the desks, the chairs, the computers, it was making the whole class laugh so I guess that's why I kept taping so many. Anyway long story short she kicked me out when I didn't stop. That was the first time I ever gotten written up. It was really funny the referral read "Taped forks to the walls even though she was continuously told to stop." I don't get in trouble often but when I do its probably for something I found funny but the teachers did not."

"That's so funny, I would have helped you till every inch of that room was covered in forks."

"That would be a good prank. Add that to the list of senior pranks we could do."

"You have a list?"

"Now I do."

Beca smiled. "You know Chloe, I'm pretty fond of you." Now it was Chloe's turn to smile.

"I'm pretty fond of you too Mitchell."

Next thing you know Mrs. Murphy is coming out in the hall. "Girls, if you are ready to behave now you can come back in." "Yes ma'am, we are." Chloe said as they got up to go back in the classroom. Soon after that the bell rang and all three of them were out the door together. "So, did I miss something?" Jesse said. "You had to see it, ill fill you in on it later." Beca said.

"Where you off to next?" She asked Chloe

"Gourmet Foods."

"Who do you have? Mrs. Cav? She's such a bitch." Jesse said

"That would be her and yeah I figured that out already on day one."

"I could walk you." Beca said "Its on the way."

"That's okay, I usually meet up with Aubrey since we have that class together."

"Oh alright, I guess ill see you seventh then."

"Looking forward to it."

"Me too, later red." Beca said nudging her shoulder.

Chloe had a great third period she really likes those two, they are different from Aubrey and the others, she liked having the variety of personalities.

She met up with Aubrey at the class right next to her third period. They walked to foods together and sat down with their group. They had to work on packets today, good thing is you can work with a partner so they all worked together to finish this packet on foods from Germany. After class was over, Stacie and Beca headed to English one of her favorite classes. Not only was she good at English but Mr. Bates was awesome, he was always joking around with everyone, super nice, always was telling them stories and is such a good teacher in general, Chloe understands everything he says, he explains it in so much detail so that you can really get what the lesson is about.

As lunch came around Stacie and I made our way to the cafeteria. On todays menu, there was pizza and tater tots which was not that bad but not that great considering it was cafeteria food. Stacie got into talking about how she thinks we should have different cafeteria stations sort of like a food court, which I can agree. After lunch I was really looking forward to seeing Beca in Anatomy, I got there earlier than usual. A little before the late bell rang signaling everyone should be in class by now, Beca came through the door. she walked back to our seats and smiled over at me.

"Hey you." She said as she took the seat next to me.

"Hey yourself. Did you get into anymore trouble today?" She winked

"Surprisingly no, I was a good girl for the rest of the day. Its YOU who bring out my rebellious self."

"We were just laughing, its her fault for not paying attention to where her skirt could get caught, I saw it coming when she was walking over to us."

"Well you should warn her next time."

"Great idea. That's gonna be my first priority from now on when she walks over. Skirt duty."

Beca grinned at her. "You're cute." Chloe's face shot at Beca, a little blush creeping on it.

"I mean the way you act, its cute." Chloe didn't say anything she just kept her head straight so Beca didn't notice the blush getting redder. Mrs. Stark then went on to assign us our first lab. "Alright everyone, the person sitting next to you is your permeant lab partner for the year." Chloe surprisingly had no problem with that, in fact, she was thrilled. And with the response Beca gave her, she was too.

"Lucky me." The brunette smiled.
