A new beginning

.12.

.One month later.

I'm happier than ever. Chloe and I are best friends now and closer than ever. Tom doesn't like me at all. He thinks I'm after his girlfriend, but I'm not. I like her, a lot, but I'm not that person who tear couples apart. I love Chloe more than anything, but I'm not a girlfriend stealer. I'm sitting in Starbucks right now, waiting for her to come. Chloe and I are here every morning before school just to drink a latte. I'm glad I took the deal a month ago, because I can't imagine my life without Chloe. Jesse, Amy and Benji are still my best friends, but I don't feel the same way about them than I feel for Chloe. Chloe is special to me and I'm falling in love with her every day again and again. It's not easy to talk to her if her boyfriend watch her every second of the day. I still remember every conversation with Chloe. The bad one's and the good.

,,Do you want to tell me about your last school?" Chloe ask me and looks at me.

,,Um, okay. I think my best days were with my best friend, Selena. We were so close, I liked it. No, I loved it. Until everything changed, until they wanted to bully me."

,,What did they say to you?"

,,That I should die. That I'm stupid and worthless. That everyone hates me. Sometimes it was just one. And sometimes there were so many that I couldn't escape. I wanted to run away. I tried. Just kept running, until I realized there's no place to escape to. When the bullying started? I don't remember anymore. It feels like it's been forever. When I was a waitress in high school. When I was hanging out with my friends. On my first date, first kiss... at some point they did more things to me. But then I graduate and the bullying stopped. I know it's stupid to think why. At some point I just wanted to prove to them there's nothing wrong with me. That they're not right. And now I know they are."

,,No Beca, they are not. And I'm glad you didn't listen to those stupid people. Because you're gorgeous. So, have you just moved to Atlanta?"

,,Yeah. I got accepted for this university. I arrived like two weeks ago. Now I live here at Barden, but in about four years, I want to buy a nice apartment in Los Angeles. My friend helps me."

,,Like friend-friend or...?"

,,Oh god, is it an Atlanta thing to ask this question?"

,,What?"

,,Nothing."

,,Boyfriend? Sorry, I just like teasing you. You're cute when you're awkward."

,,I'm glad you're having fun." 

We had talked about everything before, but we decided that we wanted to start over from the beginning, so we did.

,,Hey Beca!" I hear the voice from Chloe next to me and I look up with a big smile. I can't help it. I'm so in love with her, that every time she's nearby I have to smile.

,,Chloe!" I jump up and give her a hug.

,,Wow, this is the first time that you give me a hug."

,,Once must be the first time, right?"

,,You are absolutely right."

,,Sit down, I've already ordered the coffee."

,,How long have you been here?"

,,Just a view minutes." I lie. I'm here for a half an hour now.
