I gingerly walk over to my new group where I catch Chloe staring at me with such an intensity it makes me shiver. I see determination in her eyes and something else I can't quite put my finger on. I give her an awkward smile and decide to sit down next the skinny blonde...Aubrey.
Me and Aubrey...well we go way back, in a friendly way obviously. Our relationship started off with us biting at each others nerves but it soon became a friendship. I have never been so close to anyone, not even my dad. We told each other everything, always together...laughing, being sarcastic brats and causing chaos from time to time. Aubrey...was(truthfully) the reason why I started questioning my sexuality. We never went out it was always something I could only dream about and now as I look at Aubrey, I know that the me from a couple years back wasn't all that stupid but also as I look at the pretty blonde I know that those feelings I had for her are gone.
Aubrey was one of those people that you were either best friends with or was your worst enemies and she definitely wasn't someone you wanted as an enemy. We connected together with our hatred for this one boy called William but now looking back, I have no idea why I hated him.
Then me and my mom had to move again. Me and Aubrey tried desperately to stay in contact but like most long distance relationship, we grew apart. Like most people I loved and connected with we had our own song and me being curious and wondering whether she remembered, I decided to sing.

Beca seemed comfortable as she de idea to sit next to Aubrey... Very comfortable in fact, to comfortable for them to just be acquaintances meaning they must know each other or used to know each other. If they did in fact have some sort of relationship then that would explain why Aubrey was being so protective of Beca when some girl called Jessica that was talking shit about Beca...and that was only one of many examples. Maybe Aubrey had feelings for the alt – girl which I find hard to believe because I'm pretty sure she's straight.
But when Beca decided to sit next to Aubrey, my heart sunk a bit. I was really hoping that she would sit next to me. ..and not because I like her for anything but to just get to know her and unravel her secrets: to figure out the anomaly that Is Beca Mitchell.
As always I was surprised when Beca started to sing .
If you ever leave me, baby,
Leave some morphine at my door
'Cause it would take a whole lot of medication
To realize what we used to have,
We don't have it anymore.
There's no religion that could save me
No matter how long my knees are on the floor (Ooh)
So keep in mind all the sacrifices I'm makin'
To keep you by my side
To keep you from walkin' out the door.
'Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same, if you walk away
Everyday it'll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain
Aubrey started to smile after realising what the song was. A very pleased expression. But how did Beca know that this is her favourite song. ..the song that is no.1 for most played on her phone. Aubrey joined in during the chorus and then they took turns singing lines at a time or joining together to emphasise the meaning and beauty of the song. Two beautiful voices joining as one.
I'll never be your mother's favourite
Your daddy can't even look me in the eye
Ooh, if I was in their shoes, I'd be doing the same thing
Sayin' "There goes my little girl
Walkin' with that troublesome guy"
But they're just afraid of something they can't understand
Ooh, but little darlin' watch me change their minds
Yeah for you I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try
I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding
If that'll make you mine
'Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same, if you walk away
Everyday it'll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain
Oh, don't you say (don't you say) goodbye (goodbye),
Don't you say (don't you say) goodbye (goodbye)
I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding
If that'll make it right
'Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
And just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same, if you walk away
Everyday it'll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain
" Hey big Buddy " said Beca
" Hey little buddy "
The two hugged, Beca muttering something about already getting picked on by her size during there first conversation in years, whilst the rest of the class started cat calling and professor Mitchell smiled proudly at his daughter and the blonde that were still hugging. Me...I just thought that having her in our group would somehow change things for the better and maybe we could all get closer. That was the day I set myself a new goal. ..to not just think of Beca as a study but to befriend her because Beca made me feel different in a good way and I didn't want that feeling to go.
Ever...

A couple days earlier
The bell rung signifying the end of school. I all but sprinted to the parking lot where my Suzuki RMZ250 (motorbike) was parked. During the beginning of school I would have hate letters taped to it or it would be covered with eggs and once even graffiti, then it changed the next week as my motorbike was plastered with love letters and sometimes even roses, yet now all was normal, to the point where it was beyond boring.
Today was the first day that I would be heading to the house behind the forest, in the hills, on a hill. I had no idea how tricky the route would be and whether I could possibly even get there so I decided to look for some sort of dirt road leading in that direction even if it was right through the forest.
Sooner or later I found what I was searching for and sped down the gravel path, branches hanging over above flowers and bushes everywhere. It was beautiful and so I told myself that if I never managed to get there that just going down this so called road would be good enough just looking at the beauty of unchanged, natural surroundings.
The journey was dragging on a bit so I occupied myself on the road singing songs.
Me and all my friends
We're all misunderstood
They say we stand for nothing and
There's no way we ever could
Now we see everything that's going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don't have the means
To rise above and beat it
So we keep waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
It's hard to beat the system
When we're standing at a distance
So we keep waiting
Waiting on the world to change
Now if we had the power
To bring our neighbours' home from war
They would have never missed a Christmas
No more ribbons on their door
And when you trust your television
What you get is what you got
Cause when they own the information, oh
They can bend it all they want
That's why we're waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
It's not that we don't care,
We just know that the fight ain't fair
So we keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
And we're still waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting waiting on the world to change
One day our generation
Is gonna rule the population
So we keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
As I sang that song it made me realise. ..there is no point in waiting for it to change but to act on it start to change it.
I slammed the breaks , I had spaced out and nearly rode into the gate of the house. I looked up at the house, creaky cracked features not very inviting but I Loved it. I smiled up at it. A full on smile and I knew things where gonna be good . everything was gonna be alright.
