Hi My Sweetheart. (Girl x Girl)

Chapter Twelve

"What happened at the office Clary, we were all worried sick," Stacie expressed her concern and handed her friend a cup of hot tea. The redhead didn't return to the dorm until very late at night, and was greeted by two of her concerned friend still up and waiting anxiously for her return.

Chloe let out a small sigh and accepted the drink from her roommate, it was chilly outside so the warmth radiating from the hot beverage is helping a lot.

Chloe wandered near campus after getting in the small argument with Beca, she felt so bad she just wanted some time to herself. Listening to music, she walked trying get all the messy thoughts off her mind. The chilly breeze caressed her cheek, eventually late at night, she decided to make a stop at Taco Bell, never expected to meet Beca there though.

"Yeah gingah, you four made quite a scene today, what happened?" Amy asked as she pulled a chair from her desk and dragged it next to the redhead.

"It's.. complicated. I'm not even sure how to put it into words." Chloe sighed and replied, taking a few sips from the tea allowing the wave of warmth sooth her body.

"Take your time." Stacie said, "if you feel like talking about it, we're here." The brunette continued with a comforting smile.

Chloe bit on her bottom lip nervously and let her mind process all the things that happened earlier today, "So you guys all know Beca and I finished the assignment a few weeks ago," the redhead started and went on explaining what happened at the office and how Bumper had the original file on his usb. Chloe's expression shifted to sadness when she got to the part about the argument she had with Beca.

Listening closely, Amy furrowed her brows and took out her phone. The Aussie hastily typed in something and placed her phone back onto her desk. She shifted her attention back to Chloe, but her mind seemed to be wandering elsewhere.

"Wow," Stacie whispered with a small voice when Chloe reached the end of her explanation, "I know you started the assignment pretty early, but I'm thinking you forgot something." The brunette smirked.

"What am I forgetting?" Chloe tilted her head and asked in confusion.

"Remember that day when I asked you what you're doing for the assignment," Stacie grinned.

"Yeah.." Chloe answered cautiously, she remembers the day clearly. She had just finishing organising the final assignment that morning and Stacie asked her out for coffee to discuss their assignments.

Being a very engaged student during class, Stacie is always the one eager to read other's papers just to understand different perspectives.

"You brought your laptop that day and i kind of uploaded it to my google drive so I could read it when I get home." Stacie smiled widely and grabbed her laptop which was sitting a few feet behind her.

The brunette tapped on the keyboard and focused on her laptop screen, after a few minutes she grinned again showing her perfectly white teeth, "yup the file is still here!" She announced proudly.

"Oh my gosh, you're not kidding right," Chloe exclaimed, she studied the file on the laptop and nodded in confirm that it is indeed what she worked on. It was the final file Beca sent her.

However, one thing still bugged her. From what she saw on screen, she can confirm that Beca indeed did not steal Bumper's idea, for the outline of the essay matched the rough draft of what the pair did together earlier when they hung out everyday just to make the essay writing process easier.

Thanks to Chloe's unnecessary need to hang out with Beca everyday that few weeks.

"Something still on your mind Clary?" Stacie asked, the redhead seemed to be deep in thought.
