It's All About Finding Yourself - Chapter 2
"You guys don't believe how disappointed I am in the six of you for doing that. It was completely inappropriate." The performance of Toxic went really well in the teenagers' eyes, most if the students seemed to accept it pretty well although you do get the majority who still think the show choir sucks. Mr McKay on the other hand was more than annoyed with the group, bringing them back to the choir room immediately after the performance.
"As much as I hate being here we were pretty awesome" Beca admitted with a shrug, tossing the bowler hat up in the air repeatedly as she followed the rest of the group into the choir room.
"And sexy!" Stacie hollered across the room only earning herself a stern expression from Mr McKay.
"As little as I was involved in this I have to say we did well out there" Aubrey added as she took a seat along with everyone else.
"Bullshit. This started off as your idea" Beca scoffed.
"It wasn't my idea to sell our bodies off like that." Aubrey shot back, folding her arms across her chest as she turned away from the aggravating brunette.
"Oo shots fired." Donald was unfortunately sat between the two but couldn't help himself in the hilarious opportunity, his laughing didn't last long though as Beca kicked his leg making him wince in pain.
"Enough." Mr McKay stated sternly as he stood in front of everyone else with his arms folded in annoyance. "You guys disobeyed me, why is that?"
"Because disco sucks hot wet monkey ass" Donald said what everybody else was thinking.
"It's true sir, disco died years ago and if we performed it out there we would be an even bigger laughing stock of the school" Jesse explained honestly.
"We had fun" Benji tried "And isn't that what being in a glee club is all about?"
Mr McKay pinched the bridge of his nose with a laugh. "I'm sorry guys" He shook his head at his own stupidity. "I should really listen to you lot more, I mean I can't deny the smiles on your faces after your first real performance together. You all sounded great but there's still a lot more that you're all capable of, especially you Beca." He concluded, pointing at the said girl with a smile.
Beca looked at Mr McKay with a facial expression that was almost comical, it was a mixture of confusion and disbelief. "Is there anything I'm actually good at?" Beca asked, throwing her arms in the air with a huff.
"No no it's not like that I'm just saying I think if you really pushed yourself your belt could be one of the strongest aspects to this show choir" Beca was a little taken aback by his words.
"But how do you know that? You've never heard Beca belt, none of us have actually" Stacie asked with slight annoyance in her voice since her best friend was getting all the attention.
"That's why I'm giving her an assignment for tomorrow to prove my theory right"
"Dude no, I've got enough on my plate with stupid English tutoring tonight. Aubrey for the record you suck at being a tutor because the essay I handed in today sucked" Beca leaned forward in her seat to catch the blonde's eye and give her a sarcastic smile.
"Trust me Beca, it's not hard." Mr McKay assured "Turn up to rehearsal tomorrow ready to perform Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You."
"You've gotta be kidding me" Beca's arms dropped by her sides helplessly, sinking down further into her chair. "The song's too big"
"You need to believe in yourself more Beca, just give it a shot tomorrow so we can see how powerful your voice actually is-"
"Hey, sorry is this the show choir?" An unfamiliar redhead cautiously stepped into the room, cutting Mr McKay off and causing everybody else in the room to turn their heads.
Beca leaned back in her chair and whispered to everybody else "Anybody know who this is?"
"Not a clue."
"Nope."
"Never seen her before in my life."
"Yeah sure, are you interested?" Mr McKay greeted the girl with enthusiasm, leading her inside to stand with him in the middle of the floor in front of the other teenagers, who were kind of just staring at her in attempt to figure out who she was.
"Yeah I am" The redhead smiled brightly, rocking on her heels back and forth.
"Are you new here? Because I have no idea who you are." Beca was the one to speak up on behalf of the rest of the group.
"Yeah I am I just moved here from Florida. I'm Chloe by the way." She explained, giving everyone a small wave.
"Girl what the hell are you doing moving from Florida to here?" Stacie asked incredulously. Chloe just giggled at the brunette's tone.
"Right guys give Chloe a break, you can ask her your millions of questions later." Mr McKay rolled his eyes before turning back to the redhead "So Chloe, can you sing?"
"Well I should hope so since I'm here" She laughed, her sudden sass grabbed Beca's attention.
"Looks like I'm not the only one who's going to be giving you sass now Mr McKay" Beca voiced, giving a challenging glance towards Chloe.
"Well Chloe I think you'll get along great with our very own Beca but first let's get a little taster of that voice huh?"
"Oh right yeah. Uhm can anybody play piano here?" She asked, fondling with her fingers as she glanced over r her shoulder at the piano before back to everyone else. Beca, Aubrey, Jesse and Benji all raised their hands slightly before Beca stood up instead.
"You bitches ain't got nothing on my piano skills" Beca smirked as she sauntered over to the piano, sliding onto the bench before looking up at Chloe expectantly. "Name the song and I'll see what I can do."
"Titanium by David Guetta?" Chloe asked over her shoulder as she positioned herself in the middle of the floor.
"Ha. I can do that in my sleep" Beca replied smugly, taken aback from her sudden burst of confidence ever since Chloe entered the room.
"Take it away girls" Mr McKay motioned towards the two girls before stepping off to the side as Beca began to play the opening notes.
You shout it out
But I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud not saying much
I'm criticized
But all your bullets ricochet
Shoot me down, but I get up
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
Even though it was only a small section of the song everybody was impressed to say the least. They gave Chloe a round of applause including Beca as she turned herself around on the piano stool. "Well I think I can say on the behalf of everyone else and say welcome to the Barden Majors Chloe!" Mr McKay exclaimed.
"Unless you have my sheer awesomeness in your little club you guys are going nowhere!" A familiar voice sang and everyone bar Beca turned towards the door, the brunette placed her fingers to her temple and groaned.
"Please don't tell me that's who I think it is" Beca whined.
"Oh you're right Mitchell" Adam "Bumper" Allen placed his hands on Beca's shoulders and confirmed her worst nightmare.
"I can't be in here if he's here" Beca managed to shrug him off her shoulders so she could stand up and return to her original seat.
"Relax Beca, whoever wants to be in glee club gets to be in glee club" Mr McKay reminded, motioning for Bumper to stand next to him as Chloe took a seat beside everyone else. "Are you sure you want to join Adam?"
"Okay first of all its Bumper second of all I was actually on the run from all the dumb basketball guys because I had pissed them off after assembly but then I looked here and said to myself, oh crap these guys need my awesome voice or the club will plummet to its death"
"Hey! I'm one of those apparently dumb basketball guys" Jesse protested but no one seemed to listen.
"Even your face makes me want to drop kick you out the window" Beca deadpanned with narrow eyes which only earned herself one of Bumper's punchable grins.
Later on that afternoon Jesse and Beca decided that there was nothing better to do than play their newly aquired Grand Theft Auto Five video game for their Xbox. "You're such a reckless driver in this game Beca, remind me to never allow you to take lessons." Jesse chuckled.
"I don't criticize how you play it so get off my back" Beca took her hand off the controller for a second to point accusingly at Jesse and managed to crash the car on the game making Jesse burst out laughing. "That was your fault!" Beca playfully smacked Jesse before gripping the controller again, reversing the car out away from the wall she managed to crash into.
"It shouldn't even be your turn, you played the last mission!" Jesse protested, trying to grab the controller out of his cousin's hands. They both began to wrestle over the controller until Dr Mitchell entered the room.
"What's all the squabbling about?" Dr Mitchell asked with an amused expression on his face at the sight of his nephew and his daughter, both sets of hands gripped tightly on the controller, innocently looking up at him. "You kids need to see some daylight, that game is the only thing you've played for the whole weekend."
"In our defence you were the one that went out and bought it for us" Beca finally let go of the controller so Jesse could thrust it in the air triumphantly before taking over the game.
"The reason being because you both gave me the money and you're both too young to buy it yourselves"
"He can't but I can technically since I'm seventeen but you know you were already out" Beca shrugged.
"Shouldn't you be learning Whitney?" Jesse asked distractedly as his eyes were fixated on the screen.
"What do you need to learn?" Dr Mitchell asked curiously.
"Mr McKay's thinks my voice is more powerful than what I'm showing and is making me sing I Will Always Love You tomorrow" Beca rolled her eyes as she explained. "I know the lyrics anyway, I'll just wing it" She shrugged.
"Yeah, I was about to say you would probably have little time since Aubrey will be around pretty soon" He checked his watch for the time.
"Ugh. Aubrey" Beca groaned.
"Behave yourself Beca, Aubrey's a lovely girl" Beca scoffed at her father's words.
"Now remember Jesse, no hitting on my tutor" Beca playfully warned making her father chuckle.
"How many times do I need to tell you that I don't have a crush on her Beca, she's got a boyfriend for Christ sake!" Jesse dropped the controller in his lap and threw his arms up in frustration.
"Huh? Wait rewind a second, Aubrey has a boyfriend?" Beca asked incredulously.
"Yes, she's dating Luke"
"Well that's an odd pair, the theatre nerd with straight A's and the captain on the basketball team. Way to break the cliché."
"I should be captain." Jesse mumbled with a pout, folding his arms across his chest. "Luke is such a douchebag I don't even know what Aubrey sees in him."
"Maybe it's his god like body or his perfect bone structure?" Beca teased which made her father raise an eyebrow at her.
"I just want to let the both of you know that Sheila and Rachael are coming round tomorrow" Dr Mitchell slipped the information in knowing the way that Beca reacts every single time.
"They're here constantly anyways so why ruin my day by telling me in advance?" Sheila is Beca's father's fiancee, the wedding was fast approaching and the thought depressed Beca even more but what made it worse was Sheila's daughter Rachael, she's the head cheerleader at school and yes, she fits perfectly into the stereotype. Both were moving in straight after the wedding and Jesse and Beca were dreading it.
okay so we've finally met Chloe and Beca's new found confidence even though there wasn't a lot of her. Bumper is a new member of the group as well. I know the show choir rule is min of 12 I'm just making it 10 in this fic so there isn't too many characters to keep up with, 10 is enough! Haha
Leave me a review with your thoughts and ideas are welcome because I still struggle now an again. Thanks nerds ;)
