Since Beca and Chloe were dubbed as High School Royalty, everyone wanted to be around them. They became instantly the schools most popular girls.
The fact that they were both beautiful helped a lot. They were every school boys fantasy. And a lot of the girls dreamed about a date with them too.
They had hoped that people would be bored with them soon. They didn't have so much luck. Their Facebook page became more popular every day.
Aubrey and Stacie were both well known at the school. As captain of the chess team, Stacie was considered the high schools Chess Princess. Aubrey who was in the debate club, was known as the ice queen. She earned that nickname because of her deathly glares.
Beca and Chloe didn't hide the fact that they were a thing. There were numerous of pictures of them where they were caught kissing.
The one thing that took the focus from them was a picture of the hug between Aubrey and Stacie. As best friends of the high school royals, people soon assumed they were a thing to. Someone took the picture of them hugging and posted it on Facebook. That's how the four girls soon were dubbed "Double Royalty" by the rest of the students.
But it didn't make it true. Beca and Chloe did have an relationship with each other. Stacie and Aubrey were just good friends. The picture was token at a wrong moment. It was the only time Stacie was vulnerable and had needed a friend.
The tall brunette didn't care about the rumours that were going around. She didn't do anything to stop the rumours about them.
But Aubrey was more like Beca and didn't like all the attention. Or see pictures of herself and Stacie on Facebook. The fact that the two girls were seen together a lot didn't help their case.
The four of them were eating lunch when Emily approached them. She kept a safe distance as she was a little scared of the blonde girl.
"I uh need to show you something" the junior stuttered.
Chloe smiled at the junior.
"Well show us" the redhead answered.
Aubrey wasn't amused when she saw what Emily showed them. Her own mother had posted a photo of her and Stacie on the Facebook page. It had been a innocent photo of them sleeping on Aubrey's bed. Mrs. Posen had took it when she had found them asleep that day. They were both fully clothed in the picture, but in combination with the already existing rumours, people were convinced they were a thing now too.
Apparently their parents were well aware of the new social statuses of their daughters. And clearly they felt the need to support them.
Stacie took the phone from Emily to take a closer look at the photo.
"It could be worse" Stacie said as she handed Emily her phone back.
"What do you mean by that? The whole school things we are a thing. And God knows how many other people think that too" the blonde said.
"So what? Let them think what they want. We know the truth and that's what matters" Stacie said.
"Stacie is right. There are going to be rumours no matter what. At least the two of you are now seen as the next hot couple of Barden" Chloe said brightly.
"Chloe, Stacie and I aren't a couple. We're just good friends" the blonde said angry.
Beca was the only one who didn't say anything. She could understand how Aubrey felt about this. But if she was honest, she had to admit that the two of them looked good together.
"As I see it you have two options" she said to them.
Her friends looked curious at her.
"Option one is go along with it. You take some photos and upload it yourself. Make up some juicy story of how you fell in love or something like that. Option two is release a statement about you two not being together. That this is a misunderstanding that you want to correct" she continued.
"That's a brilliant idea actually" Chloe said.
"If you really want to stop this rumours, just go to the school paper. Release a statement and everybody will know the truth. Even if you decide to go for option one. Just let Jessica take some pictures. She is a really good photographer" the redhead said.
They finished their lunch in relative peace before going to their next classes. None of them had the same class so they agreed to meet after school. They all would think about what was the best thing to say for the statement. Because there would be a statement.
After class they had a discussion. Chloe and Stacie wanted to go for option one. They liked the idea of a series of photos and a romantic love story. Even if it wasn't true.
Beca and Aubrey thought option two was better. Just a simple and short statement to put an end to the rumours. That way people would get bored with them and they could continue living their lives.
They really needed to think about their next actions. The only thing they agreed on was to already go to the school papers office to make an appointment. That way they had some time to think about what they were going to say.
When the four girls entered the school papers office they were shocked at what they saw there. They never expected to find Jessica and Ashley half naked in a heavy make out session.
