When I enter the classroom, I take a seat at the back of the room. The blue eyed girl is stuck in my head. Its weird though. I never knew that eyes could be so hypnotizing.
,,Good morning class, I'm Mrs Henderson. Welcome to Barden University. This class is going to be mixed for the entire year with some of our best seniors."
,,Oh god, now the seniors are going to tell us how to behave." The girl next to me say and look at me. ,,Are you a junior?" I just nod. ,,I'm Amy, how are you doing?" I can't talk. Why is everybody talking to me today? Am I the only freshman around here? ,,Um, do you want to lunch with me and my best friend Jesse?" Now I can look at her. She's beautiful, but not as beautiful as that other girl. Wow, what did I just say? ,,You are quiet. Don't you like it at Barden?"
,,It's okay." I say and continue my silence treatment.
,,Did you meet nice people?"
,,I did meet someone." It's the only thing I say.
,,Well, who is he? Is he beautiful? What's his name?" She bombarded me with questions.
,,Stop it, okay!" I yell. Everyone in the room is looking at me. Too much attention! I bury my face in my hands.
,,Okay guys, don't fight on your first day." I hear a door open. ,,Ah, there are our seniors. I would like to introduce you to Aubrey Posen, Jessica Jakle, Cynthia-Rose Adams and Chloe Beale." Everyone starts to say "hi", except for me. I don't feel like looking, I just want to go have lunch or just listen to music. I feel someone shake me and I look annoyed at Amy.
,,What?!" I whisper.
,,Look at those girls."
,,Why should I?"
,,Because they are beautiful, maybe you can be friends with them or just talk to them?"
,,I don't want to be around people, I just want to be alone."
,,Why so grumpy?" I shrug my shoulders. Suddenly I see two feet standing next to my table. I look up. That are the ocean blue eyes I'm thinking about all day.
,,Hé, I know you." She just say.
,,No, you don't."
,,Yeah, I do. You where at the toilets this morning." I wish I could be buried right then and there. Amy just give me a look and the other seniors look at me with a strange face. They don't like me, I can see that, especially that girl Aubrey. She looks at me if I have some kind of disease.
,,Girls, please sit down and then we can start." Mrs Henderson tells us what we have to do for this week, but I don't listen. I'm nervous as hell, because Chloe is sitting next to me and she's looking at me the whole time with a smile on her face. Why is she being nice to me? Did she lost a bet or something? I just want to be invisible, just like the six years before. What's wrong with that? I look at her again.
,,Why are you talking to me?" I ask her and I mean the question.
,,Why not? I think you're really nice. Maybe we can be friends some day?"
,,Why do you even want that?"
,,Is everything a question for you?",,Yes, because you are being very nice to me, but you don't even know me."
,,You're right, I don't know you. But maybe you can give me a chance to get to know you?"
,,You want that?"
,,Oh, I do." Her voice is sweet though and she's doing her best to comfort me some kind of way. And it's very weird, because I like the way she's talking to me. It's like she actually wants to know me, without losing a bet or something.
,,Maybe we can talk sometime?" Holy shit, Beca! What the hell are you doing? You can't trust her! She's just some girl from school. You just have met her! A big smile appears on her face.
,,I'll love that. What do you say we grab lunch together?",,I kinda accepted to go have lunch with Amy." I point towards Amy.
,,You do?" I give Amy a light stump with my elbow. ,,Oh, yeah. She does, we are going to eat some lunch with my best friend Jesse." Thank you Amy!
,,Oh, that's fine. Maybe some other day with lunchtime?" Chloe's eyes never leave mine. I just nod and feel my stomach turning as she lightly touched my hand when the bell rings. What is happening to me? Why do I feel this way? I can't even think about it, because Amy grabs my wrist and take me out of the classroom, towards the garden so we can have some lunch.,,Jesse, I like you to meet Beca." Amy say as we sit down next to this guy. He looks up and smile at me.
,,Hi, how are you?"
,,Why is everybody asking me that? I'm fine, all I want is for people to let me be."
,,Wow, why so grumpy?"
,,I don't want to talk about it."
,,Tell me something about yourself."
,,Like what?"
,,Hobby's, sisters, brothers... just something. You must have something to tell, right?",,No, I don't actually."
,,You said you met this girl," Amy begins. ,,Chloe Beale, right?" I just nod.
,,Chloe Beale? As in senior and gorgeous Chloe Beale?" Jesse looks at me.,,Yeah, she's pretty I guess."
,,Beca, you have talked to the captain of the Barden Bella's?"
,,Who?",,You've never heard of the Barden Bella's?"
,,No and we didn't talked that much. I was crying in the toilet and she comfort me, that's all.",,Okay, if you say so." Jesse and Amy give each other a look and I don't like this conversation any more! ,,So in about two days there is an activity fair. I think it will be fun if you joined us, Beca."
,,An activity fair?"
,,Yeah."
,,Will there be a stand for music?"
,,I think so. The Barden Bella's are looking for new recruits," Amy begins. ,,Oh my god, maybe we can go to the audition.",,Why do you think I want to join that group?"
,,Because of Chloe." Jesse give me a smirking look. At the sound of Chloe's name, I get this weird feeling. That feeling I had before. I don't know what it is.,,No, I'm not going to audition. I just want to play music."
,,Okay fine, don't go to Aubrey and Chloe at the activity fair." Amy say and I grateful thank her. ,,But you have to come with us, it will be fun." I sigh and before I know it, I agreed. That would be fun...
