# CHAPTER 8
A/N: I think, next 6-7 chapters happened in the same day. IT'S SO LONG and detailed (you'll only know if you done these 2 chapters) that I need to separate it to different chapters. Anyway. Happy reading!
Chloe's POV
It's first day of University Week and I'm here early in the morning at Cosmetic Clubroom. I gave all of the permission and decision to them. This is my schedule of dying my hair into blonde.
"We'll going to cut your hair but it will be below your shoulder. Is it okay?"
"It's all up to you now. Just don't make it worse." I said as I looked at myself in the big mirror. I'm wearing a robe right now when the girl that maybe going to cut my hair put a piece of long fabric over my chest to cover it so my hair won't stick to it. She prepare hee scissors before cutting my hair.
I can't help but to close my eyes as I felt she started to cut it with her scissors. Someone below me was putting pedicure on my toenails and two on my side was putting manicure on my fingernails. I felt so uncomfortable right now.
Beca and I since yesterday wasn't texting each other and I'm getting used to that. Maybe she's just busy preparing to her night shift that she told to me yesterday when we're inside the bus.
*flashback*
As we got in the bus we immediately drove off the area. Then we heard our moderator clapped, next by the students inside the bus.
"It's really a dangerous move but I'm so proud of what Miss Mitchell and Miss Fuentes did a while ago." She said as she clapped her hands together.
"I can't also believe I witnessed that kind of situation!" One of the students at the back beside Flo.
"She's not just a football player!"
"How did you do that Miss Fuentes?" Asked again by our professor.
"My dad taught me since I was 7." She lazily said and slightly smile. Everyone gasped. "My father was a soldier so.." Everyone got silent but our professor got recover soon.
"That's great and a little bit brutal teaching from a father. Anyway! Also Miss Mitchell. She's sneaking out here and telling me that she's dying to be Flo's bus mate so I let her but I didn't know you're Miss Beale's girlfriend." She giggled like a teenager that made me blushed. Beca who was beside me was just smiling from ear to ear. "Good job ladies, but please next time you did that please be careful. Me and the name of Barden will be the responsible if you got hurt so please next time, don't butt in. Prevention is better than cure. You can rest for the rest of the travel." She said and sat on her seat.
I looked outside the window. Ignoring the girl beside me. I know she's looking at me but I'm still mad at her.
Even she told everyone in this bus that I'm her girlfriend..
I don't care.
I know it's just part of her trick to make me not mad at her.
"My DJing tomorrow will be night shift and I want to give you a ride home." She blurted. "Or at least see you there if you're not busy. You know.." I didn't gave her attention. I know she turned to my side and stared at me for minutes before speaking again. "You look so worried earlier and attractive at the same time." Beca mumbled. I gave her a glance and I saw her grinning at me.
"Even the driver's worried about you." I retorted.
"I don't the driver was much attractive than you.." She replied that made me cringed. "You're still mad at me?"
"Isn't obvious?" I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms over my chest. I looked outside the window again and seconds later I felt Beca slammed herself onto me. She hugged me from the side.
"I really am sorry Chlo. Please forgive me." She said in lower voice.
"In your dreams." I mumbled that made her tightened her arms around me.
"What can I do to make it up to you?" She finally looked at me. Why she's often using her puppy dog eyes on me? I looked away.
"Tell me a joke." I grinned. Beca groaned.
"I suck on it Chlo. Is that mean you won't forgive me?"
"Yeah."
"Oh my god Chloe. I'm really sorry. Please forgive me." Beca fake cried.
"Just tell me a joke and if I laughed then we're cool." I smirked and pushed her away from me. She pouted.
"I love Jean." Beca said straight forwardly that made me frown. "Joke!" She grinned that made my poker face worse. She slammed herself to me again and fake cried. "See? I sucked. I'm so sorry." I fake iritated and pushed her again.
"You're worst." I scoffed and rolled my eyes again.
"Why you're making it so hard?" Beca mumbled sadly.
"You deserve it." I hissed. She made a face and crossed her arms too over her chest that reflected in the glass window.
It's almost silence overtook my soul when Beca spoke. I looked at her.
"Knock knock." She mumbled without looking at me.
"Seriously?" I asked and tried my best not to laugh.
"Knock knock." She repeated without looking at me. She's seriously looking at the back of her front.
"Okay. Fine. Please don't embarrass yourself to me. If you're not willing then don't do it."
"I'm serious. Knock knock."
"Seriously- fine. Who's there?" I asked and turned to her.
"My kiss."
"My kiss who?" I asked again and she cleared her throat before singing.
"Remember those walls I built? Well, baby they're tumbling down and they didn't even put up a fight, they didn't even make a sound.." She sang that made me look at her. She slightly slapping her thigh to make a beat, exact for me to hear it along with her beautiful voice. "I found a way to let you in but I never really had a doubt, standing in the light of your halo, I got my angel now." She smirked at me before continuing. "It's like I've been awakened, every rule I had you breakin', it's the risk that I'm taking, I ain't never gonna shut you out.." Slay it. "Everywhere I'm looking now, I'm surrounded by your embrace, baby, I can see your halo.. you know you're my saving grace.. you're everything I need and more.. It's written all over your face.. baby, I can feel your halo.. pray it won't fade away.." She ended that made me stun. She smiled at me that made me back in the reality.
Wait.
"Where's my kiss?"
She grinned and leaned on me.
To kiss me.
On the lips.
It's was not moving and more like of a soft touch in my lips with her lips but it felt good and relaxing but when she pulled away she stared at my eyes and lips seductively. "You want more?"
"Yeah- wait. WHAT?" I pulled back immediately and looked away. I got more attention from our side seat. I felt my cheek burning in embarrassment. "You're t-taking advantage on me." I whispered.
"If that's what you think it is." Beca mumbled and took her headphones.
*end of flashback*
"It's already done." She said that made me open my eyes. I looked at myself and.. I was like... Jesus.
"She's so gorgeous. Her skin will gonna suit on blonde. Her eyes screamed vulnerability." Said by the photographer who's already on my back. "Go dye her hair and do the make up and hairstyle I'm telling to you. I'm gonna call the dressmakers and production to ready the set up." She said and went out the room. The girl who cut my hair was not looking for an equipment to dye my hair.
"Am I the only one on shoot right now?" I asked in curiousness. "I felt like I'm the only person who's having shoot right now."
"Obviously no. Every model that we chose has one representative for each club. Like you, you represent us. 3 from us, 2 from dressmakers and 1 from photography. The model who got the most votes from students will be the highlight of the Friday Event and posters that we will make. For us, it's our promotion to handle the accreditation that we will going get from Barden for cultural events that will gonna happen outside the University."
"Wow. I didn't thought you can make that."
"Well, Barden is one of the biggest Universities here in America so expect that and also collaboration really works."
"That's nice." I said. "Do you think we'll going to get votes?"
"Of course Beale. We will not do extra effort if we're not believing in you and your gorgeousness." She stood up from the small cabinet and walked towards me. "You ready?"
I sighed.
"Yes."
Third Person's POV
Beca was with Fat Amy and Flo inside the coffee shop. They were eating breakfast while talking about last night's happening.
"You're lucky Flo was with you." Fat Amy remarked. They're sitting in the corner of the shop.
"Yeah. I thought I'm gonna die that time."
"Why weren't you fighting back on him?"
"I told you I'm wearing jeans." Beca said and drank her milk. They decided have a short jog this morning to talk about it. It's short coz Amy asked them immediately to have some break. They didn't thought it's breakfast.
"You can do your move in there!" Flo said again.
"And what? My clothes will be coated with blood? No. Also if I still told the police it's self defense, they will going to still suspect so hell no." Beca said and shook her head. "Chloe was also there so I better might get hurt in process than her witnessing me killing someone."
"You love her so much but you still cheating on her?" Amy asked skeptically. Beca frowned at her in confusion. "What? I constantly seeing you with Jean." Flo continued to eat her meal.
"You.. What?" Beca questioned.
"I saw you every morning with Jean, Beca. She's going out on your room every 4 am."
"Huh? But she's not going to my dorm!" Beca exclaimed. "To be honest we have that once when I called her for company and I'm drunk but it didn't happened again. I don't know what you're talking about."
"Huh? And who's that blondie walking out of your door every morning?" Amy asked and they widen their eyes. They looked at each other terrified.
"What the.. fuck." Beca cussed and took her phone out of her sweatpants. She checked on it.
"How did you tell us that it was Jean?" Flo asked.
"It's blondie and she has a same figure with Jean. I'm from my floor which was the 5th floor so in my angle, I couldn't see her face. She's wearing a cap and pajamas that looks like she's sleeping with Beca so I assumed that she's sleeping with her despite of them being suddenly close." Amy explained.
"Did you tell Chloe about it, huh?" Beca asked without looking at her. She's still scrolling her phone. Flo was beside her.
"No. Of course. Why would I? I told Emily about it but I'm sure she won't tell anyone about it."
"Oh. Now I got it why she talked to me like that yesterday." Beca said. "Wait. What's the meaning of this?" She gave the phone to Flo. Flo took it and looked intently to Beca's phone. She pressed the note.
NOTE:
"In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni"
[A/N: It's palindrome latin guys. And I'm still laughing at the impatient thingy of some readers. Ghad. I told you, stop reading if you're acting like a baby. This is a MATURE FIC. RATED M to be exact. XD Sorry if I made some characters bad but... where's the thrill if they are all angels?]
"It's a sentence." Flo sternly declared and gave it to Amy. "I know you know what it means."
Well, Amy is a omnilinguilism. She could translate every language she knew to pronounce.
Amy looked at it intently. "It's Latin sentence means, we go wandering at night and are consumed by.. fire."
"I think it's described a moth." Flo remarked. That made Ashley looked at her.
"Do you really think it discussed with moth-
"We can't talk about that here." Beca mumbled and took her phone from Amy's hand. "Let's finish this food first."
"Anyway, where's Ashley?"
After they eat, they headed to the Detective Club and saw Aubrey and Lilly there.
"Hello folks. What's up?" Aubrey approached as they sat on the couches. "We have a line up mission this weekend. Mafia reapers needs to accomplish within this weekend too."
"We? I thought small time mafia reapers are already doing that?" Fat Amy asked.
"They can't do this at this time. They don't have someone like Jessica and Beca."
"What it is all about?" Beca asked.
"This time we're doing a perfect crime in another country. Specifically... Japan. We're going to eliminate the traitor magician, Jewun Mishan also known as El Maco. He has a huge credit of thousands of millions to the Mafia and Mafia don't allow it. He couldn't pay that so he's currently hiding but we heard that he's planning to reveal the Mafia faces and we need to stop that."
"That's interesting. Please let's discuss it tonight." Beca grinned. "But before that.. I need all of you including the people who wasn't here to play subtle. We need to be low key for a week and have a vacation. I want to escape this shit I'm facing for months. I need to have a private vacation with Chloe."
"Oh no Beca. What if she suspected you?" Fat Amy blurted. "Yeah. That would be nice idea but what if she ask you why with her and sudden vacation with her? She knew that she moved out because Genesis is watching you and moving her out would be easier for them not to attack her. She has no idea of your little play Bec." Fat Amy better knew how to handle a situation when it comes leading Beca into the pathway but sometimes Beca's mind is close during the whole thing trust issues right now. Being in that situation makes her more bad.
But sometimes it's good to consider their suggestions coz at some point they are extremely right.
"Fine. We still can't have a fucking vacation because of fucking Genesis pricks. We need to hurry these things up." Beca paused as she crossed her legs. "What's new? Do you get something?"
"We got something, right?" Fat Amy asked. "We just need to guard up more to secure Beca's dorm. Someone getting in and out of her room without Beca noticing it and they're getting more wary!"
"Do you think it's the intruder?" Flo asked out of nowhere that made everyone looked at her. "I mean- if that's the intruder... why Beca's still here? Do you get what I mean?"
"Come on. Genesis is really up to something and like teasing that sum up with the mysteries and killing people and that's awful." Beca scoffs. "They want a silent war."
"And how will we going to fight back then?" Flo asked.
"To stop them from murdering." Beca purred.
"Their target are you and Chloe only. And knowing Genesis.. they knew you're still seeing each other.." Fat Amy said.
"How'd you know that?" Aubrey asked suspiciously. Fat Amy looked at her in shocked, she hadn't register yet what she've been said.
"Duh." Fat Amy replied back. "Genesis is just around. I just want to suggest that we should make our investigation in tucked. Like... investigating Matthew."
"Why Matthew?" Beca asked in awe. She knew Matthew very well- not that well but she knew him as Chloe's closest friend.
"He's suspicious." Flo declared that made Beca looked at her. "He's also transferee."
"Huh? Matthew's Chloe's bestfriend before we met. Chloe owe him a lot still he didn't take advantage to her and I trusted him over Chloe." Beca said sincerely. Well, she really doesn't like him. Like a lot. Cause he's a big threat to their relationship but if Chloe doesn't like him more than friends then Beca needs to breath calmly.
"He's still suspicious. He's staring at Chloe... like more than friends." Flo said in wonderment. Reminiscing the moment she took a glance of Matthew and she saw him staring... lustfully to Chloe especially during the game and spin the bottle.
"What do you mean?" Beca asked.
"I think he likes Chloe." Flo assumed.
"Okay. I know Chloe's really a hot chick but she doesn't like Matthew. Maybe he has a feeling for her but he can't change the fact that they're friends like best friends since then." Beca said and Aubrey finally spoke.
"I did a research about him, Jean and people around our circle." Aubrey blurted. "Matthew lives in Florida. Same with Chloe. They were in the same school before. Same with Alpha, Thomas Wilton.."
"Well, He's Chloe's ex." Beca said that made all of them gasped.
"What?!" Aubrey exclaimed. "You know what it means right?"
"Yeah. She's been abused by him. R-Raped by him. Fuck." Beca cussed in anger, her ears started to heat up as she vigorously form her hand into firm fist. "He almost killed her. Matthew helped her. She escaped on him as well as her aunt who he threatened. And I swear to god how I want to kill him with my bare hands before of that."
"And you believe in that?" Aubrey skeptically said.
"Yes. Coz she's having a constant nightmares at the beginning of our dating stat. And that's very impossible if you're gonna tell me it's an act coz everyone can't do fake sweats and fast heartbeats Bree."
"Let's say it's true-
"It's true Posen."
"Then Matthew continue his degree here at Barden. Last year. So he's graduating. Major in pharmaceuticals. Next is Jean. I found her suspicious coz she's sticking her ass on you."
"She likes me."
"Obviously." Fat Amy remarked as she chuckled.
"Since Jade died, she also disappeared. She moved into another country and escaped the reality because she's afraid to you and this year, she showed up like there's nothing happened. Isn't suspicious? Like after all? She'll tell you she likes you?"
"Beca already gave in to her." Fat Amy blurted. Beca glared to her.
"And you messed up of choosing you're bitch Beca. We all know how smartass Jean was and she would definitely blockmail you about that to get what she wants. Everyone knew she's a dick lover." Aubrey scoffed. "And can't do anything about it. Escleto's clan society will going to bug us up."
"I know. Dude. I couldn't help it that time.. s-she offered to be my-
"Oh stop." Aubrey interrupted. "You messed up. And if Chloe believes on her, ready yourself."
"Chloe will not going to believe on her. I'm blinding her with my love. That's it." Beca looked away. And her phone vibrated.
Someone texted her so she took her phone and see who's the messenger.
Emily: Holy shit Beca!
Beca frowned. She knew Emily and Jessica are now in their shoots that's ehy they are not with them to discuss thing so it's confusing why she texted her. Everyone in the room saw Beca's frowning.
Beca: what?
Emily: Chloe's fucking gorgeous! (but she's not my type) But Beca! Oh my fudging god.
Beca: huh? I know Chloe is definitely gorgeous and hot as fuck but why are you texting me?
Emily: Beca. You. Need. To. Go. Here. Now.
Beca: okay. you're weird?
Emily; Hurry up! Photography Club room #23
Beca looked up on them and spoke. "Okay guys, Emily's being weird again- hey." She frowned when she saw them staring at their own phones with mouth opened in 'o'. "What's that?"
"Oh. My. Goodness." Flo blurted as she stared at her phone. Lilly snatched her phone and looked at it.
Then Lilly immediately covered her mouth. Beca's now confused. If it's a murder or a snuff video they won't reacted like that.
Seriously.
"Okay. I'm out of place. I'm going. Emily's asking me to be in the Photography Club." Beca said and stood up.
"You should be Beca. Chloe's-
Fat Amy gagged Flo and said, "Go ahead Becs." while grinning.
Weird.
