Beca took a deep breath and tried to compose herself before knocking on the door of her dads office. She had been thinking about nothing other than this for the past 2 days, she had researched it and she had found what she needed, but now she needed her dads help.
She knocked.
'Come in.' The man's voice called. Beca timidly entered the room and stood at the door. 'Beca, you don't usually see me at work, come in.' Beca slowly walked to the chair her dads eyes following her the whole way.
'I um, need to ask you something.' She began.
'Please don't tell me you're pregnant.'
'What, fuck no. Nice to know that's the first thing that comes to mind when you think of me needing help though, really, thanks.'
'Well you did go out looking like a prostitute the other day.'
'Gee, okay.' She took a deep breath through her nose and tried again. 'I need help getting into college.'
'College?'
'No, I'm kidding.' She deadpanned.
'You've never wanted to go to college before.'
'Well I do now. Sheesh, will you help me or not?'
'Okay, sure, I'm just shocked is all, where were you thinking of going?'
'Barden, they have a music production and technology course there.'
'I'm not paying all of that money for you to only study music.'
'Well that's what I want to do, it's either that or I move to LA right after school.'
'No, at least college would look slightly better, but you'll minor in something productive, philosophy?'
'No fucking way. I hate philosophy.'
'You'll do what I say if you want my help, and my money at that.'
'Fine, but not philosophy.'
'Okay. How about leadership, they offer that at Barden and can lead into other careers when your music career doesn't work out.'
She chose to ignore the comment from her father as she really needed his help. Besides she wouldn't actually have to attend all the classes, her dad couldn't stop her once she was already there, so she nodded along and tried her best to listen as he spoke her through the application.
She nodded along and acted interested whilst her dad wrote her personal statement (Apparently it had to be her own work so he wouldn't let her just leave and him complete it, not that she really needed to be there, he wasn't asking her opinion on anything.)
Two hours later her application was complete, she had missed both of her free periods and most of lunch, she had left her phone with Jesse that day so he was probably confused as to where she was. She printed off the confirmation of the application and darted outside to find her friends in their regular spot on the field.
Jesse spotted her before she spotted him and he ran up to her causing a much bigger scene that was needed considering it had only been about 4 hours since tutor where he saw her. He picked her up and spun her around causing some incredibly non-Beca-like girlish screams to appear. She took his hand and led him away from the group slightly and he followed suit, she could see her friends watching in the corner of her eye, they were probably still concerned over the happenings at the party. Of course they forgave them both right away and didn't hold a grudge against their stupid mistakes, and after Jesse had boasted about Beca telling him she loved him they were just as excited and interested in their relationship as they usually were.
'I have to show you something!' Beca giggled whilst handing him (the now crumpled) piece of paper. Jesse stared at it for a while clearly working out what it was, he was taking a while to process it, Beca chewed on her thumbnail whilst she waited.
Finally a slight smile started to grow across Jesses face getting bigger each second until it was his usual beam.
'Is this for real?'
'Yep, and they have a music composition course, so you're coming with me.'
'I haven't sent off an application yet!'
'Well better get too it, deadlines soon!'
'You're amazing.'
'I know.'
'No, really Bec, you are amazing.'
Not sure how to respond Beca just giggled, Jesse took the hint and leant down into a kiss, it's intention was just to be a light kiss, but somehow, and neither of them would take responsibility for it, the kiss became much deeper and was only stopped when Beca's arm was literally tugged away from her by Aubrey complaining of way to much excessive PDA.
Aubrey started to pull a very red in the face Beca back to her friends leaving Jesse there on his own, he called over the distance between them.
'You may stop our kissing, but you can't stop our love!'
Beca laughed behind her and flipped him off whilst Aubrey continued to pull her away.
'Shut up nerd!'
'I love you!'
'Go and sort out your ucas idiot.'
Jesse laughed and walked into the main building into the library to send off his application, knowing Jesse he had probably had his application set up since he was 14 .

Aubrey finally let Beca go once they had arrived at the group but Beca's now free arm was only to be pulled again by Chloe pulling her onto the floor.
'Fuck dude, that hurt.'
'Man up. What was that with you and Jesse.'
'It was me being the most amazing girlfriend ever.'
'Well we could see you were practically about to suck him off in the middle of the field.' Amy pitched in causing the rest of the group to laugh, Beca just rolled her eyes and flipped off the Australian.
'No, it was about college.'
'Are you going to college?'
I'm applying.'
'Oh my god Bec, we can all totally apply together, please say you applied to Barden!'
'Uh yeah.'
'They have this Awesome Aca-Pella group there, we have to join!' Chloe squealed.
'There is no way I'm singing, that's lame.'
'Jesse told us about you singing in the car the other day.' Chloe smirked.
The red that had only just left Beca's face was suddenly back.
'He's dead.'
This clearly was not as threatening as Beca had intended considering it just made the group laugh and start singing god awful show tunes.
