Woo! Reviews, that's what I like to see guys! Keep 'em coming! As I said you have a very ill writer on your hands who couldn't go into sixth form today, so that means updates for you guys. (Believe me they are not going to be this regular normally, but this is like my new toy and I want to keep playing with it).
The group all live in a suburban type area, they attend a private school. I don't know if you have them in America, but artistic licence if not.
Also, I don't know how they subject system works in America, here In England once you finish your GCSE's at 16 you pick new A levels, you only have 4 subjects all together. I'll be using that system as I know how it works.

Beca had set her alarm on snooze 4 times before her father eventually came in screaming at Beca to get up. She dragged herself out of bed throwing on a pair of jeans, red vest and her leather jacket before putting on her makeup and doing her hair. She was nursing a cup of tea when she got a text from Jesse telling her he was outside. She left the house without saying goodbye to her dad but gave a wave to Molly when she walked past the sleepy girl in the lounge.
'Good morning my little ray of sunshine'
Jesse just got an eye role and a grunt from Beca in response.
'Not a morning person then huh?'
They started walking towards the school.
'Wait are we not getting any of the others?'
'They won't be leaving for another 15 minutes or so, but I assume you have to fill out paperwork when you arrive, so we're leaving early'.
'Guess I'm stuck with you then'
'Don't act like you don't love it' Jesse shot back whilst flinging his arm around her shoulder pulling her into some awkward walking hug. He didn't take his arm off her shoulder after though. Beca didn't know how to take it, did friends normally do this? She hadn't had any before. So many things were running through Beca's head, does she like this boy? No don't be silly, you only met him a week ago. Beca Mitchell does not have time for relationships. But he does smell kinda good, and is really quite cu- No. Stop Beca, you do not have feelings for this boy.
'You okay there midget' Beca was stunned by the argument she was having with herself, she just looked at Jesse and gave him a smile, not sure what to say.
'Are you nervous about starting this school?'
He gave her an excuse for her unexplained silence.
'Uh, yeah'
'Well you've already made all your friends, you don't even have to have the awkward first day on your own'
Jesse let out a comforting chuckle and pulled Beca into him more. They finished the rest of the short journey in comfortable silence.
'Holy shit, is this the school?' Beca let slip in shock.
The school was huge; it was incredibly modern with a huge fence surrounding the premises. She could see an outdoors eating area which lead onto two caged sports areas and had a surrounding field. Her old school had one indoors sports hall, this school had a sign that directed her to a gym.
'It's big, I know, I started in year 9 and it was crazy, you'll get used to it though, plus you have my help'
Jesse led Beca into the reception and waited for her to fill in her paperwork before taking her to their tutor. By the time Beca and Jesse arrived in tutor the rest of the group had already sat down around a large table. It was weird that they were all in the same tutor, maybe they got to choose?
An old man stood before the class and announced that tutor would last 25 minutes in the morning, and then 15 minutes after lunch. Today however as it was the first day, first period had been cancelled and they must stay in tutor instead to fill in admin, get used to their timetables etc.
Beca and Jesse made their way to the group and joined into their conversation, Jesse still had his arm around Beca when she sat down, she didn't remove it. Just because she couldn't like him doesn't mean she couldn't get a little affection every once in a while was her reasoning for not making him move.
'Awh Jesse, is this your wittle girlfriend?'
Jesse turned his head to the sight of his brother pulling up a chair beside Beca.
'Bec, this is my brother, Bumper.'
'Sup babe' Is how he greeted her.
She rolled her eyes in response and tried to turn her concentration back towards the group.
'Look, if little Jesse doesn't want to be your boyfriend, you could always ride the bumper train, free of commitment of course'.
'Shut up' Beca and Jesse said simultaneously.
Jesse and Beca actually had a free period second and as they hadn't had a lesson yet, they had no work so they decided to go out and sit on the field. There was a common room for their year but they assumed it would be full so decided to leave it.
As they walked towards the field Beca pulled out her ipod and placed one headphone bud in her ear. Jesse stole the other.
'Wow Beca, who is this?'
'I erm, I made the mix and erm, it's me singing Titanium' Beca replied keeping her eyes locked to her feet. She didn't really share her mixes with anyone but Molly. Why was she being so open with this boy she had just met?
'It's really good Bec, like amazing'
Beca gave an awkward smile in return. She wasn't used to getting complements and this boy threw them out everywhere like they were gifts for all.
Jesse pulled out his laptop from his bag, two juice pouches and a handful of DVD's, chucking a juice pouch at Beca before setting the DVD's below them.
'What do you want to watch then?'
'Can we do something else, we could visit a gynaecologist, or relive my parents' divorce' Did she really just say that? What was wrong with her? She just told they boy she had only just met that her parents were divorced.
'What do you not like movies or something?'
Beca took a sip from her juice pouch, avoiding Jessie's eyes.
'You don't!? Not liking movies is like not liking puppies Beca!'
'They're predictable, and I never make it to the end'.
'You need a movie education Beca, you need a moviecation'.
'A what?'
'A moviecation, I need to show you what you're missing out on. I have the perfect idea on what your first movie should be. You're coming over to mine after school'.
'Do I have a choice?'
'Nope, or I will cut off your juice pouch supply, I know you're loving the one I just gave you.'
The rest of the day went pretty quickly, she had music and English Language with Jesse and some of the others. Ashley and Jessica were in Beca's art class. Unfortunately Bumper was the only person she knew in her philosophy class and he just HAD to sit next to her. She managed to drown out his god awful pickup lines by putting her ipod on once they started working.
Jesse and Beca had another free period fifth so decided to go home early to start Beca's Moviecation.
They arrived at his house and he left Beca on the sofa whilst he went to collect his Teaching equipment, ie, his dvd and popcorn.
He placed the dvd into the television bringing the remote over with him. After getting comfy he hit play introducing the movie as the opening credits rolled.
'The breakfast club. Best feel good movie of all time. This song launched simple minds in the US, could have been a Billy Idol song but he turned it down. Idiot'
'That is fascinating, and tell me what does Judd Nelson eat for breakfast?' Beca replied back sarcastically, not looking away from the screen.
'Like all misunderstood rebels, he feeds on hypocrisy and black coffee to help with his morning dumps.'
'You're an idiot'
'It's true, I'm full of fun facts'
'You should let other people tell you different'.
Beca had managed to make it to the final scene of the movie (with the assistance of Jesse's 'fun facts' throughout the film to keep her engaged) She knew if she was home alone she would probably be crying right now. But she was with Jesse and she would not embarrass herself with him.
She looked over to Jesse when the final scene was playing only to see him mouthing along with the words. She couldn't help but think how incredibly cute he looked, even if he was nerding out right now.
'You're missing the ending'
'Sorry' She snapped back sarcastically, looking back at the screen, this time she could feel his eyes burning the side of her head. She turned around to face him. He just stared into her eyes for a while before he started to lean closer, Beca knew what was coming and to start with she leant in towards Jesse too, but then she remembered the deal she had made with herself relationships were a waste of time, they only lead to heartbreak. This deal was encouraged by her mother and was the only morals Beca ever knew. She pulled away, grabbing the remote from the TV and pausing the end credits, she continued to look at the unmoving television screen when Jesse spoke.
'Beca'
'I'm sorry'
'For what?'
'For not kissing you.'
'Did you want to kiss me?'
'I don't know, yes, no, maybe'.
'Bec, I don't want to force you into anything, just know, that I really do like you. I may have been drunk when I said it, but I mean it, I want to be together.'
'Look Jesse, I'm not the relationship type. I'm the make stupid mistakes with boys type'.
'I don't care about your past Bec.'
'A relationship just wouldn't work Jesse.'
'Why?'
'Just because Jess'
'Give me one good reason'.
'Because I'm too messed up.'
Beca couldn't stop tears falling when she said the last sentence, she stood up grabbed her bag and walked out of Jesse's front door, only to be met with the sight of Jesses brother.
'Wow midget, I know I said you could ride the Bumper train, but stalking my house is a little cray-zee'.
'Fuck off' is all she managed to stutter out before rushing down the path, she was desperate to get home.
Ah, I hope you liked it, I'm going to start the next chapter now, considering I'm bed-bound, so it should be up later today. Tell me what you thought guys!
