Monday morning came all too fast for the student body of Barden High. The hall was quieter than usual as everyone was trying to wake up from their weekend. Beca walked down the hall to her locker to get her books for her first class. She had spent her Sunday afternoon sleeping in and making mixes. Then she had to spend her evening watching movies with Jessie. It would have been worse if she and Chloe hadn't constantly been texting. They shamelessly flirted with each other throughout the night. Beca wasn't sure if Chloe was actually into her or just like messing with her. Either way Beca thoroughly enjoyed it so she figured she would just let it be and see what happened. She was on her way to English class when she saw Jessie coming towards her. They both had English and Biology together.
"Becaw!" He yelled making Beca roll her eyes. "So did you like any of the movies last night?"
Beca shrugged, "Wreck-It-Ralph was cute."
"Of course the only kid movie we watch was your favorite, never mind the other two with awesome scores."
"Says the guy that cried at the end of the movie."
"It was cute." Jessie said as they entered the classroom taking their seats and Beca laughed. "Shut up."
Chloe and Aubrey were walking to class on the other side of the campus heading to Pre-Calculus. "So what's with you and Beca? You two seemed to be quite cozy Saturday night." Aubrey asked.
Chloe smiled just hearing Beca's name. "Nothing, she's just a really cool person and we're getting to know each other."
"Please," Aubrey scoffed. "You two couldn't keep your eyes off each other in the pool. Plus there was that whole conversation about your ass. She likes you, doesn't she?"
"I don't know…I mean we tease and flirt with each other. But I don't really know for sure if she's into me. She hasn't come right out and said it."
"So what are you going to do?"
"Nothing, I just want to continue to get to know her and what happens," Chloe shrugged, "happens."
Beca and Chloe didn't any of classes together so other than the few minutes in between classes they really didn't have a chance to talk. So at lunch Chloe hunted Beca down making her sit with her, Stacey, and Aubrey. Amy, Ashley, and Cynthia Rose also joined the table. They were all talking amongst each other until Fat Amy noticed a black eyed Tom walking over.
"Dickhead approaching." She feigned whispered.
"Hey Chloe, can I talk to you for a minute?" He asked and Beca's jaw tightened at the sight of him trying to act all sweet...How dare he even fucking speak to her after what he did!
Chloe sighed and looked at him. "No." She simply said she swore the guy didn't have a clue.
"Come on Chloe, I just want to say I'm sorry about Friday."
"Tom just leave her alone, she's not interested in hearing anything you have to say." Aubrey stated sticking up for her best friend.
"Yeah dude, just give it up." CR also added, but he ignored them.
"I just want a chance, Chloe." He said walking over in front of her. "I know you'll like me if you just get to know me."
"No Tom, I don't know how many different ways to tell you before you actually get it!" Chloe started getting agitated. This had been an ongoing problem since last year, him asking her out every week. He started to get anger as well.
"Why the hell not? Damn it Chloe, just come talk to me for five minutes." He grabbed her arm and tried to pull her out of the seat.
"Don't fucking touch her!" Beca yelled standing so abruptly her chair flew out from under her. She yanked his arm away from Chloe and stood in between Tom and a now standing Chloe.
"You again?" He glared at her.
"You need to leave before I kick your ass all over again." She threatened and Chloe spoke up.
"Beca don't." Chloe grabbed her arm just in case. Most eyes were on them at this point and the rest of the girls at the table were also standing.
"Seriously Tom you need to leave her the fuck alone." Aubrey said and one of Tom's buddies came to his side pulling him by the arm.
"Dude, come on." The guy said. "Tom lets go." He tried again when Tom didn't listen. Finally Tom let himself be pulled away. The rest of the girls sat back down and Chloe grabbed Beca's chair setting it up right. She made the angry brunette sit down.
"Why didn't you let me kick his ass?" Beca said still glaring at Tom and Chloe made her look at her.
"I'm sorry, I just didn't want you getting in trouble. You're first game is next week and I really want to see you play." Chloe said making Beca shake her head.
"No, I'm sorry. You're right, I wasn't thinking. And I didn't mean to sound-"
"It's ok." Chloe interrupted grabbed Beca's hand. "Thanks for sticking up for me again." She smiled.
"Yeah you were pretty scary for being a short stack." Amy cut in, "Wouldn't want to meet you in a dark ally." Everyone laughed and just then the bell rang. Beca wanted to walk Chloe to class knowing Tom would be so close but they had classes on the opposite sides of campus again.
"Are you walking with Aubrey to your next class? I really don't trust douchebag, he's likely to hiding in the bushes for you or something."
"Don't worry Beca, she'll be with me." Aubrey answered, Beca nodded. Aubrey waited while Chloe gave Beca a hug. Stacey gave Aubrey a kiss on the cheek offered to walk with Beca since they were both going to Chemistry. Aubrey and Chloe walked the opposite direction going to their history class. "That may have been the cutest thing I've ever seen."
"What?" Chloe asked linking arms with Aubrey.
"The way she stood up for you. I thought she was going to hulk out." Chloe chuckled she could totally imagine that. "She's into you."
"She was just looking out for me."
"Chloe I'm telling you that there is no way that girl only likes you as a friend." Aubrey said making Chloe smile. They made it into the classroom with Aubrey sitting down at her desk and Chloe took the one behind her. Chloe was about to speak when her phone vibrated. She smiled when she saw who it was from. Aubrey turned around about the time. "Guess I know who that's from. You don't smile like an idiot for just anyone."
Hope you made it to class safe.
*Don't worry, no 'douchebags' in the bushes. Xoxo* Chloe sent back. She didn't know if Beca was liked her more than a friend or not. But one thing Chloe knew for sure is that she was definitely into Beca Mitchell.
