Beca didn't know what happened one moment she's smiling and the next she's on the ground
She balled her fists and inhaled a big breath, of course, she's going to fall like an idiot in front of her crush! her day couldn't start any better...
"What a loser." Bumper said
"Hey, back the off bumper! I wouldn't hesitate to punch you straight in that big nose of yours if I heard that you even thought about bullying beca or anyone in this school got it?" Tom said after helping beca from the ground and dusting her shoulder
Bumper mumbled, "whatever..."
"You ok there?" Tom said with a warm smile
Beca's eyes widen in shock and opened her mouth and closed it a few times
"Thanks, tom I appreciate it dude" beca said
Tom smiled at her then gestured for her to sit in his now previous seat which was not so surprisingly next to Chloe she stood there awkwardly drumming her fingers on her thighs trying to ignore how fast her heart was beating when her eyes connected with the person who she has a minor crush on...
OK, BIG CRUSH.
"Hi" the softest voice came out of those pink plumb lips
Beca's breath hitched and she felt her face redden slowly, she cursed herself internally and reminded her self to keep her cool in front of her as she stared deeply into those blue pools.
"Hey" she said and gave her a tight shy smile
"Have a seat beca, god are you ok? That fall was-"
"Yeah I'm fine it's just whatever I'm okay thank you Chloe" she said with a shy smile
"Beca parker" Chloe said while shaking her head with a small smile
Boy she already love the way that her name rolls of Chloe's mouth
"That's my name" beca said with a smirk
Chloe's smile only grew larger then she turned her head to look out of the window.
"Midtown high seniors remember it's a privilege to be here" Mr Carson said then glanced at bumper who was playing with a tennis ball
"knock it off bumper " Mr. Carson said is he caught the ball bumper was throwing in the air and into his palm
Beca snickers quietly at the scene unfolding in front of her.
"Hey, beca how are you feeling? That fall in the bus was hard" tom said with a sympathetic smile
"I'm fine tom, why are you being so friendly to me so suddenly last time I checked we aren't friends anymore" beca said with a tight smile
Tom looked back for a second but nonetheless, he smiled again and he kind of reminded her of Chloe always so friendly and caring
"I'm sorry beca I wasn't the friend of the year I got caught up in life and my grades weren't fantastic and I had to focus being with my dad in the company you know how he gets" tom said while rolling his eyes a habit he caught from being with the short girl
"So.. I'm sorry Forgive me?" he said
"Huh... I don't know.. you knew I don't open up easily to people especially the ones who abandoned me."
Beca said as she glared at him and followed walked to catch up with the group that was nearing the gates of the museum
As she was walking she lifted her glasses higher and her eyes connected with bright blue eyes that made her forget about what the talk she had with tom earlier
She saw Chloe smiling at her and Beca's heart fluttered she felt a smile tugging at her lips and immediately Chloe lifted her nimble fingers and gave her a lazy small wave beca was grinning now as she lifted her hand and midway waving Stacie and Aubrey walked passed beca and joined Chloe the both gave her side hugs and linked elbows together
Beca rolled her eyes of course why would a girl like Chloe wave at me.
before she walked inside a rolls royce parked on before her eyes she saw a kid about her age with black hair and brown eyes arguing with a man who looked an older version of him she waited patiently as he walked outside and smiled at beca
"Hey, becaw! so glad you waited for me" Jesse said
"Not in a million years dork " she smirks
"Shut up jerk face" Jesse said as he pouted
Beca just rolled her eyes and picked up her skateboard
"Let's get inside shall we" she said in a British voice and stretched her arms towards Jesse to link it with her elbow
He laughed at her and pushes her inside
'They are around thirty-two thousand known species of spiders globally they around the order Araneae'
a middle-aged Asian woman says as she walks into a laboratory
Beca looked everywhere amazed
"Wow, that's amazing! Look that's the most advanced electron microscope on the eastern seaboard it's unreal" beca said as they walk
Yeah. Wow." Jesse said carelessly
Chloe was walking annoyed with how bumper was trying to put his arms around her shoulder while nuzzling her cheek she pushed him away without trying to make anyone's attention get to them she felt as if someone's hard gaze was burning a hole on the side of her face
she looked sideways and her eyes connected with Beca's, beca looked away immediately and Chloe kept staring at her then she walked behind her and went to the other side
Beca moved her attention to the professor in front of her and Jesse but she wasn't focused because all of the things she said she already knows
Jesse nudged her
"her hey beca take a picture that spider looks cool"
Beca looked at the professor
"school paper?"
The professor gave her a nod then beca lifted her camera to take a picture then Jesse. Nudged her and the spider was out of the picture when she clicked the button than she was nudged by students and she moved her legs to walk no she doesn't feel like falling again twice at the same day
She looked at the next spider and lifted her camera again than one of bumpers goons nudges her she glared at them
Jesse looked annoyed at them "yeah leave her alone jerk face" he said
"Or what? Huh?"
"or his father gonna fire your father" bumper said as he high fives his friends
Mr. Carson suddenly grabs tom and bumpers arms
" what is going on boys! The next person who talks will fail this course I kid you not"
She walked towards Jesse
"Thanks for backing me up dude" she said and punches his shoulder softly
"Any time Becky" he chuckled
"Okay we're done you're not my friend anymore," she says with unimpressed face
'...an imminent awareness of danger a spider sense..'
"Hey look at that spider" Jesse said
"some spiders change colors to blend into their environment, it's a defense mechanism" beca smirked at Jesse
He looked at her with squinted eyes
"you're to smart for this school you should be in Harvard or something"
'...over five years Columbia's genetic research facility has ...'
Jesse looked at Chloe who was walking alone than at beca
"Hey are you going to talk to her or what?" he said
Beca looked at Chloe than at Jesse
"eventually" she said
"Will eventually is taking forever go talk to her like now.. or else" Jesse said threatening lightly
Beca swallowed a lump that was forming
She walked and stood beside Chloe
"Disgusting," Chloe said with a grimace
"They are actually cool, you know spiders can change their colors to blend in with their environment" she said
"Oh really?" Chloe said
"Yeah it's a defense mechanism" beca said
"Cool" she said
"Yeah.."
beca looked beca and saw jesse give her a thumbs up
She smirked again and turned around and saw Chloe looking at her smirk vanished quickly and blushed as she pursed her lips together
'...to encode an entirely new genome... combining the genetic information from all three... into these fifteen genetically designed super spiders'
Chloe looked at closely at the spiders and looked confused when she said
"there is fourteen," the redhead said
"Excuse me?" The Asian professor said
"Ones missing," said the redhead
"Hmm yeah I guess the researchers are working on that one," the professor said
Beca also looked closely at the nests in front of her she looked behind her noticing that Mr. Carson was gripping jesses arms ushering him to keep moving with the group
beca looked back to Chloe and saw how beautiful she was and saw the opportunity to get a picture of her
"hey can I take picture it's for the uh school paper," she said
"Yeah of course don't make me ugly though," Chloe said
"That's impossible" beca smiles
she lifts her camera and points the lens towards Chloe Chloe poses puts one arm on the table and lifts her chin and smiles at the lens
Beca lowers the lens for a couple of seconds to appreciate the beauty in front of her and lifts up the camera again perfect as the snap of the picture was heard between them
A small spider was on the roof going down from his nest slowly towards the photographer beca kept taking pictures of Chloe while she laughs lightly at every pose Chloe was doing while muttering great and amazing and great again
The spider was tangling close from Beca's neck
Chloe turned her head towards Stacie and Aubrey calling her
Beca lifts her eyes from the camera view to look at Chloe waking away
The spider bit on Beca's neck she winces loudly making a couple of students look her way in confusion her hand immediately smacked the place she felt was pulsing fiercely
Her breathing was short and quick and her eyes were wide she shook her head and tried to calm down for a second then followed the rest
What became parker didn't know this was the beginning of a new life
