Chapter 14: Face the Music

Disclaimer: read chapter 1

(Jazz's POV)

My mind attempted to pay attention at school, but my heart and mind wasn't in it. At least not today. My math exam showed. A C minus. My parents would never accept it.

With the Bellas, the Worlds, community service, school, Pieter being a stuck up snob, and dance - my life was spiraling out of control. What's worse was that my math professor refused to give me extra credit assignments. I understand that education was important in life, but I could never give my all as I gave to dance. Though, apparently what I want in life doesn't matter.

Chloe was pressuring everyone to practice. Morning marches at 6AM, vocal exercises, and aerobic exercise. We all had to skip class to fit practice into the schedule.

Beca was overwhelmed as well. One practice, she mixed up her playlist from what she presented to her boss to the practice. It earned suspicion and a mouth-full anxiety attack from Chloe.

It would've been great if I just dropped the Bellas, the Worlds, and school. Just do what I want to do. As much as I dreamt it in my head, my heart couldn't bear to do so. I made the commitments. The Bellas were my second family - my sisters. My parents would be disappointed if I gave up halfway through my education. No doubt DSM would post online of how big a chicken I was for dropping out. No. I accepted these challenges, and I must pull through even though I am close to a melt down.

After my classes were finished, I decided to visit the Treblemakers' place to do homework. Phone off. The Bellas atmosphere was a tornado, knocking down every brick in my mind like a wave and rise to my blood pressure. I am only nineteen years old. I shouldn't have high blood pressure. My brother's place was chilled. They have to worry about school, acapella, and community service. That was it.

The only excitement that happened was Bumper's surprise visits. It brought tension into the room by some of the members, due to the fact that he indeed left them before Finals. Then again, it was a miracle that he left, because he was obnoxious and rude as a leader. He made a few attempts to put his two sense, but Jesse wanted none of it.

I was welcomed inside with bear hugs and fudge pops. Not the alcoholic kind, sadly. I attempted to do my homework with my laptop, listening to Les Miserables. Do my homework in a cool, collected atmosphere then head back to Bellas for practice. On time. Attempted to.

A handsome nerd approached me with a goofy smile plastered across his face. Black perm, golden pale skin, specs over his hazel eyes. Dressed in blue collared shirt, a brown vest, and a Gryffindor colored bow tie. He could be a Harry Potter look alike.

If Jesse keeps on recruiting geeks like Benji, Donald, and Hat - they could be posed as mathletes instead of hot acapella groups. Than again, Bumper was captain of the group before Jesse took over, he was the biggest nerd out of all.
