It's All About Finding Yourself - Chapter 4
The Next Monday.
"Aubrey? You don't seem like the type of girl that sits alone in the bleachers of a sweaty gym." Jesse was already changed into his basketball kit, ready for practice as he climbed up the bleachers to sit next to the blonde.
"I didn't think there was a certain type of girl that did this." She teased. "Wait, why are you here? Practice doesn't start for another fifteen minutes." She pushed her hair behind her ear and placed the sheet music she had in her hand down beside her.
"I like fifteen minutes extra to practice since I'm trying to push your boyfriend off of the captain spot." Jesse explained, spinning the ball on his finger which only balanced for a few seconds which made Aubrey laugh. "Trust me, I'm awesome!" He slapped his hand to his chest with a laugh.
"I've seen you play, Jesse. You should get captain instead of Luke." Aubrey looked down at her hands. "Actually that's the reason I'm here." She lifted her head and glanced at the ceiling. "I think Luke's cheating on me with Rachael." She shrugged her shoulders helplessly as Jesse placed a careful hand on her back.
"I know what'll take your mind of things." Jesse placed the basketball down at his feet. "Can I borrow your guitar?" He asked cautiously opening the case and Aubrey gave him a nod. He brought the instrument out of it's case and threw the strap over his shoulder before resting it on his lap as he made sure it was tuned properly. "This never fails to make a girl smile." Aubrey smiled down at her hands before back up at Jesse.
Heeey heeeey heeeeey
Your lipstick stains on the front lobe of my left side brains
I knew I wouldn't forget you
And so I went and let you blow my mind
Your sweet moonbeam
The smell of you in every single dream I dream
I knew when we collided you're the one I have decided
Who's one of my kind
Hey soul sister, ain't that mister mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight
Heeey heeeey heeeey
Just in time, I'm so glad you have a one track mind like me
You gave my life direction
A game show love connection, we can't deny I I-I-I-I
I'm so obsessed
My heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest
I believe in you, like a virgin, you're Madonna
And I'm always gonna wanna blow your mind
Hey soul sister, ain't that Mister Mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight
The way you can't cut a rug
Watching you's the only drug I need
So gangster, I'm so thug
You're the only one I'm dreaming of
You see I can be myself now finally
In fact there's nothing I can't be
I want the world to see you'll be with me
Hey soul sister, ain't that mister mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight
Heeey heeeey heeeeey (tonight)
Heeey heeeey heeeeey (tonight)
"Told you it would make you smile." Jesse smirked, placing Aubrey's guitar back in it's case. "You don't deserve to be cheated on Bree, I don't even know why you're wasting your time with him. If I were you I'd dump his ass." He said with a laugh. "Remember when we all used to play basketball when we were kids?" He asked, quickly changing the subject.
"Yeah, why?"
"I wanna see if your skills are up to standards." Jesse stood up, picking up the ball in the progress. He motioned with his hand for her to follow him as he began to make his way down. Aubrey placed her sheet music into her bag before slinging it over her shoulder and grabbing her guitar case before making her way down to the court. "Let's see what you got, Posen." As soon as Aubrey dropped her bag, Jesse passed her the ball. "What do you think of this week's glee assignment?" Monday had became the day where they were set their weekly assignment, they didn't have rehearsal after school on a Monday so they decided Monday lunchtime would be the best time where they could get together and discuss the assignment. Aubrey walked towards Jesse, dribbling the ball by her side.
"Britney Spears? She's not really my thing." Aubrey shrugged, passing the ball back to Jesse.
"Same with me but she did help us get two new members. Any idea on what you're gonna sing?" Jesse asked as he took a shot, successfully making a basket. He smiled smugly as Aubrey.
"I might just do an acoustic version of U Drive Me Crazy."
"That'd be cool. Beca hasn't said anything about what she's doing but I know Stacie's singing Hold It Against Me with one of her sexy dance routines." Jesse rolled his eyes with a laugh as he grabbed the ball once again.
"Find Stacie sexy, huh?" Aubrey teased, snatching the ball out of Jesse's hands with a giggle.
"She's one of my best friends, that's weird." Jesse shuddered, pretending to gag. "Hey, what do you think about Chloe?"
"She seems really nice." Aubrey said with a nod, making a shot at the basket but the ball bounced off the backboard right into Jesse's hands.
"Tough luck." Jesse said with a smirk, earning himself a shove. "Yeah, Chloe seems great. She's got an awesome voice and she's really pretty too."
"Are you trying to sleep with this entire glee club? First Stacie now Chloe?" Aubrey asked with a laugh.
"What? I can't say a girl's pretty?" Jesse protested. "You and Beca are really pretty too but it doesn't mean I want to sleep with you. I'm not a player like that asshole boyfriend of yours." He smirked, dribbling the ball up to the basket before jumping up to dunk it. "I like to put a smile on someone's face, it's what I live for."
"You're a weirdo." She giggled, shaking her head.
"So are you but you suck at basketball so come here." Aubrey's jaw dropped incredulously.
"I do not suck."
"Okay." Jesse placed his hands behind his back and took a step to the side. "Go ahead and take a shot and show me how much you don't suck." Aubrey once again tried to shoot a basket but miserably failed which made Jesse laugh. "Hate to say I told you so."
"You're so confusing. You can be pretty mean sometimes." Aubrey pouted. With a laugh, Jesse stepped behind Aubrey and placed his hands over her's which were planted onto the ball.
"Tuck your elbow in." He nudged her elbow in with his own. Aubrey would be more focused if it wasn't for Jesse's head leaning over her shoulder. Damn he had good aftershave. "Okay, now shoot." She followed his command and successfully made a basket. "See? I'm awesome."
"Don't forget modest." Aubrey said with an eye roll. Their conversation came to a halt as the gym doors opened and the rest of the basketball team filed in but then came the sight that made Aubrey's heart drop to the pit of her stomach. Her theory had been true. In walked Luke with his arm draped over Rachael's shoulder, their lips attached as they walked.
"Aubrey..." Jesse's hands were still covering Aubrey's and his fingers had managed to intertwine with her's but she quickly pulled her hands away, grabbing her bag and guitar from the sidelines. "Aubrey wait!" She didn't listen though, she stormed past Luke, bashing his shoulder on the passing.
"We're so over, Luke." Luke was taken aback since everything happened so quickly, for one he didn't even realise Aubrey was in the gym.
"Hey, Aubrey wait!" Luke tried to protest but Aubrey had already left the hall with tears stinging her eyes. Once he realised that she wasn't coming back, Luke just shrugged and went back to playing tonsil hockey with Rachael. This made Jesse furious.
"What the fuck dude?! You have no respect for girls whatsoever it's disgusting!" Jesse shoved Luke's shoulder hard enough that Rachael let go.
"Who said you get a say in the girls I date?!" Luke asked, shoving Jesse back with equal force.
"Boys! Cut it out!" The boys heads snapped around once they heard the booming voice of their coach.
"Aubrey deserves way better than you anyways." Jesse spat, turning around and walking away because even looking at Luke at that moment was making him want to punch the living daylights out of him.
On the other side of the school, things were much more mellow between Beca and Chloe as the two sat at a table in the library. Beca rarely visited the library because her and literature didn't have a good record but it seemed like the perfect place to tutor Chloe. That's right, the tables had turned. Beca had been asked by her math teacher to tutor the redhead in the subject since it was revealed from her old school that she struggled with math.
"You're staring again." Beca chuckled as she scanned down the textbook.
"Sorry, your eyes are just a really pretty shade of blue." Beca cocked an eyebrow as she slowly lifted her head.
"Uh, thanks but if you don't mind me asking do you know, play for the other team?" Beca asked in a quiet voice, trying not to offend Chloe.
"Well I'm halfway there if you will." Chloe shrugged. Beca ran her tongue along her bottom lip with a furrowed brow.
"So you're bi?"
Chloe nodded. "That doesn't make you uncomfortable does it, I totally wasn't flirting with you, I just do this thing where I over compliment people." She rambled which made Beca smile.
"Don't worry about it." Beca brushed it off and went back to the textbook.
"I was the openly bi girl at my old school, nobody really cared about it but you did get get the odd homophobic asshole that would claim he could "straighten me out"
"What a dick. I'd be careful at this school, trust me it's crawling with homophobes. Our show choir has been called gay various times already and Jesse and Donald have had it pretty tight from their basketball team mates even though they're not even gay." Beca warned. "Did you ever date a girl?" She asked curiously.
"A couple of times." Chloe shrugged with a smile. "What about you, are you dating...someone?"
"Guys. I'm into guys." Beca clarified with a laugh after hearing Chloe's uncertainty. "No, my dad doesn't let me date during school since my English grade sucked."
"Fair enough, I guess. So what's the deal with you and Aubrey? You both seem to be biting each other's heads off constantly." Chloe asked in amusement intertwined with curiosity.
"It's just mine and Aubrey's thing really, we've known each other since we were kids and it's always been the same." Beca shrugged with a chuckle. Beca didn't know what it was about Chloe, she just seemed to radiate positive energy that made Beca smile around her or maybe was her infectious smile or her beautiful blue eyes...
Remember to leave a review guys, I need to know if what I'm doing is good.
