A new beginning

.8.

Today I'm walking with Benji, a good friend of Jesse. He's new to me, because I never had met him. He is obsessed with magic. There is only one serie that I like, where magic is involved; "Once upon a time".

,,So where does Once upon a time over?"

,,The evil queen Regina cursed the land of the fairy tales. She brings every fairy tale character to Maine. Snow white, Red riding hood, the little mermaid, Cinderella, Peter Pan, Tinkerbell... every story you can remember. There's only one person who can break the curse and that's Emma, the daughter of Snow white."

,,And they all have magic?"

,,No. The most powerful characters are Rumpelstiltskin and the evil queen."

,,I wish I could meet her."

,,Benji, it's just a serie. Everyone knows that a serie isn't real."

,,Don't ruin my picture. Maybe I can be a powerful wizard."

,,Yeah sure." I say sarcastically.

,,Hey, isn't that Chloe? The Bella's captain?" Benji points to the right and there she is. Chloe Beale, the girl who doesn't leave my mind.

,,Yeah, that's her. Holy shit, she looks good today. Actually she looks always good..."

,,Are you blushing?"

,,What no. What are you talking about? That's crazy, I don't like her."

,,Okay, suite it yourself. I'm leaving you two." Benji gives me a wink and walk inside of the school. Chloe stops in front of me.

,,Hey, Beca." She say and hug me. Immediately every feeling comes back. It's like my heart is beating out of my chest and my hands begin to sweat a little.

,,Hey." I manage to bring out of my mouth.

,,I missed your message this morning."

,,Are we doing that every morning?"

,,If you want to."

,,I want to grab some coffee, are you coming?"

,,I'm sorry Beca, Tom and I are going to do that already."

,,Oh, okay." I can't tell that I'm happy about that.

,,Tomorrow morning, okay?"

,,Fine."

,,Babe." Chloe gets two arms around her waist. It's Tom.

,,Hi." Chloe turns around and kiss him. My smile disappear and my mood is gone. Why is he here? Why is he kissing her back? She's too beautiful for you Tom!

,,Um, I'm going to..." That's all I can say and walk away from them really quickly.

Two classes later it's time. Well, let I just say that it's time for the auditions. I've promised to Amy that I will go, but only to watch her perform and also Jesse of course, because he wants to join too. Not the Bella's, but the Treblemakers. They are both really good though. Jesse sang in front of me yesterday together with Amy and they are great. I can't compete with that. I'm standing at the side of the stage. Amy and Jesse are on the stage and they have to sing "Since u been gone". Chloe and that other girl are sitting at the front row and some guys in the back. I can't take my eyes off of Chloe. She seems sad. Why? She has a boyfriend and she's beautiful. The music stops.

,,Okay, that is everybody. I'm really not that impressed this year guys." Amy and Jesse make a bow and walk off of the stage. This is my chance. I need to get out of here without being noticed. I turn around quickly, but I hit one of the clothing racks who's falling over with a thud.

,,Wait, there's one more." Damn, Chloe has noticed me. I don't have any choice than to stand there on stage and sing, but I don't like "Since u been gone". I turn back around and face Chloe. ,,Hi." Now she has the biggest smile on her face. How is that even possible? Just a view minutes ago, she was sad and now she's happy. Is that because I'm here? Don't be silly Beca, Chloe is just being friendly. She doesn't flirt with you, she would never do that, because she has that stupid boyfriend.

,,Hello." I'm feeling awkward. I don't like to be watched at. ,,Um, I didn't know we had to prepare that song." I'm honest am I?

,,That's okay. Sing anything you want." Why is that other girl so quiet? She doesn't like me that's for sure, but she can at least talk to me right now right? I'll go sit on my knees and bent forward.

,,Uh... may I?" I put my hand on the yellow cup that's in front of Chloe on the little table.

,,Yeah, sure." I take the cup and get a weird look from the other girl. I better stay focused on Chloe. I prefer a nice look at me, than a nasty one.

I got my ticket for the long way round

Two bottle of whiskey for the way

And I sure would like some sweet company

And I'm leaving tomorrow, what do you say?

When I'm gone

When I'm gone

You gonna miss me when I'm gone

You gonna miss me by my hair

You gonna miss me everywhere

Oh, I know you gonna miss me when I'm gone

When I'm done, I see Chloe smiling at me really big. The girl next to her, says nothing and the silence kills me. I stand up and look towards the two girls.

,,Okay, I'm going now. Bye." I say and than walk off the stage. Jesse and Amy giving me a tight hug.

,,Wow Beca, you where awesome."

,,Thank you Jesse, it was scary as hell."

,,Why?"

,,Because Chloe was watching me and that girl next to her... um, I don't even know her name, but she gave me some look. I don't like her and she obviously doesn't like me, maybe it's better that I don't join that group."

,,But Beca, Chloe will be there and I see that you like her." I look to Amy.

,,What? No, I don't like her." Now Jesse and Amy are both giving me a look. ,,Okay, I like her, but in a friendly way... I think... ugh, I don't know okay."

,,Do you have feeling for her?"

,,I do, it's weird I've never felt this before, for nobody. I don't know her that well yet and by the way if I was in love with her like you claim, I can't begin something with her because she has a boyfriend."

,,You just admit it!" Amy yell.

,,What?"

,,That you're in love with her."

,,I'm not. Let's go, I'm hungry!" As quick as possible I'm walking away, followed by Jesse and Amy. Are they correct? Do these feelings mean that I'm in love with her? I'm honest, there is an attraction to her, for my part at least, but that still does not necessarily mean I'm in love right? I can not ignore these feelings. I have to do something with it. Maybe I can ask her tomorrow if she wants to grab something to drink with me, than I can get to know her well. Yes, that am I going to do. I would like to know her, she seems very nice. Actually, I can't wait to talk to her again...
