The Bully

"Where is your bathroom?" Chloe asked. They were sitting on Beca's bed playing a board game, something Jenna suggested.

"It's right around the corner." Beca pointed out her bedroom door.

"Thanks." Chloe said and followed Beca's instructions.

She sat down and noticed a red stain in her underwear.

"You've got to be kidding." Chloe said to herself. "Beca!"

Beca heard Chloe's voice and rushed to the door.

"Are you okay?!" Beca asked in panic.

"Yeah." Chloe replied. "Can you pass me a pad?"

"A what?" Beca asked, genuinely confused.

"A pad. I just started my period." Chloe said.

Beca was taken aback. She hadn't gotten her first period yet, so she didn't have anything to give Chloe.

"I...uh..." Beca started. "I haven't gotten mine yet."

"Oh." Was all Chloe said.

"I can ask Jenna." Beca said.

"That'd be great. Thanks Becs." Chloe said.

Beca made her way down the hall to her older sister.

"Jenna?" Beca asked.

"Yeah Honey?" Jenna replied.

"Do have any pads?" Beca asked.

"Did you-" Jenna started to ask.

"No." Beca interrupted. "Chloe needs one."

"Oh okay. I'll grab one for her." Jenna walked to her bathroom and came back, pad in hand.

"Thanks." Beca said and walked back to where Chloe was. "I got one, Chlo."

"Great!" Chloe said. She opened the door and saw Beca standing there awkwardly. Beca handed her the pad with. "Thank you."

"No problem." Beca said and went back to her bedroom.

Chloe arrived a few minutes later. "Hey."

"Hi." Beca said. "You good?"

"Yup." Chloe replied. "You seriously haven't gotten your period yet?"

"Yeah." Beca sighed. "You gonna make fun of me now?"

"Of course not." Chloe said. "I'm jealous!"

"What?" Beca was shocked.

"You're so lucky. Having you period sucks." Chloe said, over dramatically.

"So I've heard." Beca laughed.

"You know I'm never gonna make fun of you ever again, right?" Chloe said.

"I don't know." Beca sighed. "I just-"

"I know." Chloe said. "I'm so sorry I was like that. I really like you, Becs. I hope we can be friends or maybe more if that's okay?"

"Me too." Beca replied. "May I?"

"May you what?" Chloe asked.

"Kiss you." Beca said.

Chloe leaned towards the brunette and connected their lips. This time Beca kissed back and it felt amazing. It felt right.

"Wow." Beca said when she pulled away.

"I know." Chloe said in the same amazed tone as Beca's.

"You're a really good kisser." Beca said.

"You still have chapped lips." Chloe joked with a laugh.

"Hey!" Beca laughed along.

"Here you go." Chloe said, handing Beca her chapstick.

"Eww it's got your DNA all over it!" Beca said.

"You just kissed me. Your lips have my DNA all over them already!" Chloe said.

"Gross." Beca fake gagged and dramatically wiped her lips.

Chloe was so glad things were working out and honestly, so was Beca.

Jenna was outside their bedroom door almost the whole time.

"What's happening?" Mason asked his mother.

"I think they just kissed." Jenna replied with a smile.
