Chapter 1-11: We Good

[Two days later…]

“Alright, Bellas! Listen up!” Aubrey yelled.

The girls in the dance studio gathered before her. They were all in their comfortable working clothes – ready for some moves… and possible cardio. The day had already been stressful to most of them so the atmosphere wasn’t really enthusiastic at the moment. Everyone hated Monday afternoons.

“Aubrey, what is this?” Chloe inquired.

Aubrey rested her hands proudly on her hips. “It’s time we get our heads back into the game. I’m assigning tasks for Sectionals.”

“Don’t you think it’s too early to be planning for Sectionals, Aubrey?” Stacie hopped in.

Aubrey shook her head. “If we want to be champions, we have to work hard.”

Chloe cleared her throat. “You must be forgetting… You’re not captain anymore; Beca is.”

The blonde’s lime green eyes narrowed over at Chloe’s direction. “Well, she’s not here, is she? She hasn’t been here as captain for the past two weeks… has she?

“Well I’m here to save our sorry asses from a horrible crash and burn incident,” continued Aubrey when Chloe didn’t return her inquiries.

Aubrey checked the attendance and grunted in vexation when she realized Cynthia Rose wasn’t around. She reminded the Bellas of the golden rule: Don’t be tardy or pay fifteen bucks. She gestured for the girls to settle down on the floor and held out a small sheet of paper from her pocket. As she began speaking again, Beca walked in, wearing working clothes as well.

“Sorry I’m late,” Beca said.

Chloe found herself smiling and blushing at the sight of the brunette. Some things really never change, she thought.

The rest of the Bellas owned widened eyes; they were taken aback by the brunette’s entrance. It had been two weeks since Beca associated with the group regarding Bella matters. The last time she did, she got everyone else pissed for ditching them off.

Beca dropped her face towel and water jug before approaching Aubrey’s stance. “Well?” Beca said when the blonde didn’t move an inch after she stood before the rest of the Bellas. “I’m here now.”

Aubrey was burning holes at Beca with her furious glare. Tight-lipped, she folded her arms and continued gazing angrily at the freshman. Stacie got up from the floor and went over to where the two girls stood. She gently took Aubrey’s hand and led her to sit with the rest of the Bellas. It had been a while since the last time Aubrey and Beca fought for authority.

Beca discussed the Annual Voices Show-off event to be held at the Theta Pi auditorium. She told them that she already had the Bellas signed into the competition and were to fight against the Treblemakers, the BU Harmonics, and the High Notes. Beca argued that the competition will give the group good exposure to the public.

The Theta Pi fraternity held the annual friendly competition since 2003, but it wasn’t until weeks ago that it blossomed to be a big upcoming event. For the first time, they announced the registration open to all a cappella groups; on the previous years, contestants were all handpicked and invited by the heads of the fraternity.
