Beca wakes at 9 am to flo doing cartwheels immediately outside her door. She learned to never be surprised what this girls do, so she isn't. "Morning beca"

"Morning flo, um are you okay?"

"Just warming up, in my country this is how we do it"

"I'm almost sure that's not true but okay"

She laughs as she makes her way down the stairs. Why is everyone awake all ready. It's Saturday morning. "Mitchell you don't look ready for rehearsals"

"Oh god I completely forgot, hold on let me go get changed real fast"

Their usual weekly rehearsals take place on Friday mornings, but since college schedules this year are so messed up they had to changed it to Saturday morning. It's clearly taking beca some getting used to. Which to be honest she doesn't really mind, it's like one of those situations where you completely dread it, but when you get there it's actually fun. There's a never a dull moment in a Bella rehearsal beca thinks to herself as she makes her way back down now all ready and fresh.

"This early on the weekend is going to have to take some getting used to"

"Beca Mitchell, this is good. It's healthy and good for the mind" of course Chloe would see that side of working out, while beca just dreads the leg cramps.

"How are you this positive and bubbly at 9 am"

"It's Chloe" Amy doesn't even have to add to it. She's right. Of course Chloe is just as bubbly as if she were to win the lotto. It's her thing.

Beca smirks to the ginger making her laugh. Chloe loves when she cracks beca like this. Especially in the moments when beca is pretending to be more grumpy than she actually is, Chloe always manages to get her laughing and give in.

"Lets go bellas" Aubrey clapps. Even though Aubrey is a completely different person now, than when beca first joined the bellas. She still has moments when she drops back into boss Aubrey mode. It makes everyone have a little giggle, as she usually realised that herself and blushes a little.

When they arrive at the studio. Chloe flips the board with the 2 hour plan on the show.
"Right so ladies we are going to just completely work on stretches and movement exercise today, because we gotta get more flexible and fit"

"Chloeeeeee" Emily whined.

"Sorry em, but we gotta do what we gotta do."

"But like can we not" beca lowkey smirks go chloe making her shake her head and roll her eyes.

"Enough mitchell, get your cute ass up off that chair and lets start"

Why does Beca freeze at Chloe's words. Beca thinks of all the times they say stuff like this one another just for a joke. But lately it feels kinda different, kinda awkward for her. And she has no idea why. She looks over to the ginger who is currently laughing and squatting with Aubrey. She looks good. Beca is allowed to simply admire her friend. She looks really good actually, almost hot. Although beca refuses to use that word when describing her best friend. Her workout clothes are very flattering to her toned body and beca can't help but look over ever so discretely. She was just catching her attention. No big deal.

"See something you like?" Cynthia whispers into Beca's ear making her jump.

"What no why"

"No reason"

Beca blushes. Even though she's not sure why. Again. Beca is unsure about a lot of things these days. She should be used to the teasing by now. All the bloe jokes the girls loved to make, especially Amy. And she always feels awkward when it happens. Like they're not a couple so why tease about it?

"Okay pitches get in pairs we need to some pairing exercises" Aubrey again going back into her slightly boss ways, then laughs again as she notices she actually said pitches being serious.

"Beca Mitchell over here you get" Beca's debatably stubborn heart warmed at the idea of Chloe automatically choosing beca to be her partner. Which is such a 6th grader thing to get excited about and even though it always been beca as her first choice for everything. Everytime she still feels a little accomplished to be the name that always manages to be the first to leave Chloe's mouth.

"Jeez so demanding" beca doesn't even notice how the phrase could be taking when she first spurts it out, which then she immediately does when Chloe gives her a smirk. "Oh please you love it." Chloe glances a quick wink causing Beca's weak to feel weak.

Emily smiles to Amy discreetly as they watched the pair lowkey flirt, absolutely unknown to the fact they were doing so. But this was nothing new for beca and Chloe. The girls are used to their constant comments that they have come used to, and the glances that they again probably are completely oblivious to. But lately it's become more frequent which they didn't think was even possible. They always mock and tease, even though it makes beca super uncomfortable while Chloe will just laugh.

Chloe and beca are possibly the definition of polar opposites. Chloe is always referred to the bubbly ray of sunshine who is always there to pick everyone out of a funk. You'll never see the ginger without a shiny smile on her face and you'll never not have a conversation where her little giggle will be introduced. However beca is usually the one needing to be picked out of a funk by Chloe. Beca is the type of person who is uncomfortable with any form of affection or compliments or even any source of personal attention. Whereas Chloe would give you a 65 minute hug if you asked for it. Maybe that's why they work so well, why their friendship only grows.

As the rehearsal continued, each position brought them closer together. Some beca could feel Chloe's slight muscles underneath, making her feel a little awkward at the fact she's noticing them so much. She feels Chloe's hands on her hips gripped tightly as they attempt to take part in one of Aubrey's insanely impossible moves. She inhales slightly when Chloe's grips ever so slightly harder to get hold of herself, and as she does so Chloe looks up at her best friend. There's an intense moment shared between the pair and Chloe doesn't know what to do with it. She noticed Aubrey looking over, and quickly let's go of Beca. Beca blushes slightly, silently cursing herself yet again over Chloe Beale.

Chloe will admit she always found beauty in beca. She always admired her looks. Chloe finds this in almost every person she meets, because she's Chloe's it's just who she is. But lately she feels more drawn to looking at the brunette, she often finds herself checking her best friend out in probably what most would call inappropriate situations, like last week when she accidentally spent 5 minutes watching beca attempt to hang a clock on the higher part of the over wall, watching as her shorts rose a little but not enough. That's inappropriate right? She shakes her head off at the thought of it.
