Chapter 9
Beca's POV
I wake up to an unfamiliar alarm going off. Then I feel the bed move and the alarm turn off. It feels really early and I don't want to get up. I slowly blink my eyes so I can figure out where I am. I look around at the wall across from me and see a bunch of pictures. I recognize Aubrey and Chloe in them. Then I smell Chloe's perfume. That's right I spent the night with Chloe.
"Becs, time to get up we have Bella's practice today." I groan as I slowly roll over to face her. "You look really cute in the morning" She's smiling.
"I'm not cute" I mumble out and close my eyes and try to go back to sleep. I can feel myself blushing from the compliment that she just gave me.
"You are cute, but that doesn't mean you get to go back to sleep. C'mon we need to get ready or we're going to be late. You can borrow some clothes from me if you want. I don't think jeans will be very fun to run in." She hops off of the bed and skips over to her dresser to get some clothes then leaves the room.
I groan and see that she left some clothes out for me. I slowly get out of bed and walk over to her dresser to get changed. At least she gave me a pair of black leggings and not one of the many bright colored pairs she has. I get dressed and head out to the kitchen where Chloe's finishing making pancakes and bacon.
"Sit down and eat. I'm going to quickly get dressed then I'll join you." She leaves the kitchen and I sit down and fill my plate. Sure enough she's back in about 10 minutes. She joins me at the table and fills her plate.
"Where's Aubrey? I don't remember her coming back last night." I ask Chloe. I'm sure she must've told Chloe where she was going to be.
"Um… I don't actually know where she went. She just said she wasn't coming home last night." I feel like she's not telling me the truth. I'll just ask Aubrey when I see her.
As I'm finishing up my food I hear the door open. Aubrey comes rushing past the kitchen going straight for the bathroom. I hear the shower turn on, then a few minutes later Aubrey is rushing out of the bathroom in a towel to her bedroom. She comes bursting out of her room in her workout clothes in record time. She grabs a cup of coffee and sits down at the table for a few minutes. Both me and Chloe were staring at her.
"Have a fun night?" I ask quirking an eyebrow and putting on my classic smirk. I can see Aubrey's face turning bright red.
"Yeah… I did. You clearly must've if you spent the night here." She added with a smirk.
"I did have a good time. However, I didn't spend the night here for that reason. We just talked. I think we all want to know how you spent your night though."
"It was nothing. I had a little too much to drink. I didn't realize how strong Amy's drinks were. Then one of the new Bella's offered to let me crash at her dorm because it was closer than coming back here." She's 100% lying. She never makes eye contact when she's telling a lie. That whole conversation she found her coffee very interesting to look at.
"Well we should probably head out so we can set up and everything." Chloe interrupts.
We put our dishes in the sink and all head out the door to the auditorium. I decide it's too weird to stay at their apartment by myself, so I go with them and help them set up the chairs while they are busy writing out what looks like some sort of map on the white board.
A little while later the rest of the Bella's started walking in and finding seats. Once everyone was accounted for Aubrey and Chloe started the practice. Already 2 girls have been kicked out for being "treble-boned" which I think is kind of ridiculous. None of the songs on our set list are from this century. We are forced to run laps and the dance moves are horrible. The only good things that happened are Chloe touching me while helping me learn the moves, Fat Amy's hilarious commentary, and watching Stacie and Aubrey check each other out (I can't wait to ask Aubrey about that later).
Finally, after what feels like forever (3.5 hours) practice is finally over. I'm exhausted. All I want to do is go shower and then sit and work on a new mix for the rest of the night. As I'm packing up my stuff I see Chloe walk up to me.
"Hey Becs, you did great today!" She puts her hand on my arm.
"Umm thanks?" I say awkwardly and can feel my cheeks heating up.
"Would you want to hang out later? Maybe go get some food or something?"
"Sure." I'm surprised by how fast I hear myself agreeing to go hang out with her instead of working on a mix. "As long as I can go shower and change into some of my clothes" I add trying not to sound too eager.
"That's fine. I was hoping to have a chance to clean up as well. Although I think you look good in my clothes, I'm sure you'll look even better in yours" Chloe says with a wink.
I already know that my face is beet red and there's no way to hide it. "So what time do you want to hang out?" I ask.
"Well I have a couple assignments I need to get done first, so how about later this afternoon like around 5?"
"Yeah that works for me. It gives me a chance to work on a mix. Want to text me where you wanna meet later?"
"Sure! I'll see you later Becs!" Chloe pulls me into a quick hug, which I surprisingly find myself reciprocating.
