,,Beca, wake up." Amy is pulling at my blanket.
,,Go away, let me sleep."
,,It's 8 pm, we need to go to philosophy class and your father is at the door."
,,I'll be right there." I turn around again and hear Amy walk out of the room. I look up, but unfortunately my father is still here.
,,Funny this doesn't look like your into to philosophy class."
,,I'm posing an important philosophical question. If I don't actually go to that class, will it still suck?"
,,Look, honey. College is... it's great. You get to create memories here, I see it every day. You just have to give it a chance. You've been here, what, a month now? Do you have any friends?"
,,You don't care about me and what are you doing here actually?"
,,I have to a client just a minute from here and I wanted to see how you were doing."
,,Dad, go away! You're here just to control me. I'm doing fine!"
,,Beca, you gotta get out there. You gotta try something."
,,I don't have to try anything and definitely not for you. Go to your client and leave me alone!"
,,You gotta try something new, Beca. Join one club on campus."
,,Why should I? Give me one good reason."
,,If, at the end of the year, you still don't want to be here, you still want to move to Los Angeles, well then, you can quit college and I will help you move to Los Angeles."
,,Seriously?"
,,Yes, seriously. But I really need to see it Beca. This is college, join in." My father get up from my bed and walk out of the room. I don't know if he's seriously or if he wanted my attention. I grab my phone from the stand and I see a message from Chloe. Suddenly my bad mood is gone.
Chloe: Good morning, beautiful. I hope you had a good night sleep. Do you want to grab some coffee before school? If not, have a great day today. Love you. Xx
Aw, that's so sweet. Of course I want to grab some coffee with her. A big smile appears on my face when I read the last part. "Love you"...
Beca: Good morning, sweetheart. I had a beautiful dream, with a beautiful girl in it ;). I would love to grab some coffee with you, but first I need a shower. After my shower we can grab some? I really don't want to go to philosophy class... I want to have a great day with you! Now I'm hesitating. Shall I send "Love you too" back to her or not? I don't want her to break up with her boyfriend because of me. No, I send her only the last kisses. See you soon. Xx. Better. Now, up to the shower!
When I enter the bathroom, I hear other showers, but I don't care. I'm humming to a song right now. Soon I'll sing and I don't care anymore. If someone wanted to bully me, they already had done it right? I'm here for a month now and nobody has made a move to bully me.
I can't hear a word you say. I'm talking loud, not saying much. I'm criticized but all your bullets ricochet. You shoot me down, but I get up... I turn on the water and continue with this great song. I'm bulletproof nothing to lose. Fire away, fire away. Ricochet, you take your aim... I stop singing, because I don't hear any showers anymore. Am I alone right now? Can I sing louder?
,,You can sing!" I jump of fear and turn around. Holy shit! Chloe is in front of me, completely naked! 'Don't look down, don't look down!'
,,Chloe!" I yell and put the curtain close again, but she opens it and grab to the handle of the shower and turn it off.
,,How high does your belt go?" Now she speaks in riddles.
,,My what?" And then I see how close her naked body is to mine. ,,Oh my god!"
,,You have to audition for the Bella's."
,,Seriously? That's what you say right now? You come here into my shower uninvited and your talking about the Bella's AGAIN?!"
,,Yeah, I really want you in the Bella's. What else can I do with you in the showers?" My mouth just drop when she winks at me. Every dirty thought I can think of, pops into my head.
,,I can't concentrate on anything you're saying until you cover your junk." Please put the curtain close again!
,,Just consider it, Beca." She just stand there. I grab the curtain again and try to hide my body again. I'm not happy about anything from my body, so I won't let anybody sees anything. ,,One time we sang backup for Prince. His butt is so tiny that I can hold it with like one hand." I drop my bottle of shampoo in the ground. She sang for Prince? She has to be kidding me? I go down to pick it up, but when I feel her hand on my back, I jump up again and turn my back towards her.
,,Seriously. I'm nude. Please leave, I'll see you soon, than we can grab some coffee."
,,Ow we're definitely going to grab that coffee, you've promised. But back to your singing, you were singing "Titanium" right?"
,,You know David Guetta?"
,,Have I been living under a rock?" Now a little giggle comes out of my mouth, unwanted. ,,Yeah, that song is my jam. My lady-jam."
,,That's nice." What the hell, Beca?! Why would you say that?
,,It is. That song really builds." Oh my! Why does that girl always have to wink to me? The feeling that I have for her, don't disappear and she's only making it worse with her winks! ,,Can you sing it for me?"
,,No, get out!"
,,Not for that reason. I'm not leaving here until you sing." She's stubborn, but I like that. A smile appears on my face and I turn back to face her. I'm bulletproof nothing to lose. Now Chloe sing with me in perfect harmony. Fire away, fire away. Ricochet, you take your aim. Fire away, fire away. You shoot me down, but I won't fall, I am titanium. You shoot me down, but I won't fall. I am titanium... First I look into her eyes while smiling, but then I look her up and down. Oh shoot! I look away quickly, but she has noticed. ,,Yeah, I'm pretty confident about all this." She points to her naked body.
,,You should be." Chloe turn around and grab a towel.
,,Here." I take it and hold it for my naked body.
,,I still need to shower." I whisper to her. Then suddenly Tom shows up. Holy shit! What is he doing here in the ladies bathroom?! I hold the towel a little bit tighter around my body.
,,You have a lovely voice." He say to me and smile.
,,Thanks." My eyes find those from Chloe and she gets the hint.
,,Yeah, I'll see you after the shower. Bye, Beca." She blow me a kiss and walk away with her boyfriend. Okay, now that Chloe knows I can sing, she's not going to stop to recruit me. My feelings for her getting worse day by day and her boyfriend almost saw me naked a minute ago. Can this day get any worse?
