Moments Like These (Bechloe)

Chapter 2

"Beca!" She heard and turned around to see Chloe walking toward her.

"Yes?" She asked wanting to get out of the conversation as quick as it started.

"I forgot to apologize for Nate last night," Chloe said then added, "For what he called you."

Beca took in the girl's appearance noting her long curly red hair and light blue eyes. She had on a thigh length red dress and black heels on, always seeming to be dressed up which was more than Beca could say with her ripped jeans and leather jacket.

"You don't have to," she admitted. "He said it, not you and besides, it's something I've got use to by now."

Chloe's heart hurt with the new knowledge. "Still, I'm sorry."

"Okay," the soccer star replied before moving to leave only to be stopped once more.

"I hate to break it to you, but you're Barden's sweetheart and I'm the misfit," Beca said in annoyance. "I've barely talked to you and I already know that what everyone says about you being the sweetest person is true. Me? I'd rather not be talking to you right now so if you wouldn't mind, I'm going to go sit with my friends."

Chloe didn't know how to react, instead sighing and not bothering to talk to the girl anymore. She walked over to her own table and sat down beside Aubrey.

"So how are your ribs?" Jesse asked when Beca sat down beside Emily.

"Still blue but I can breathe," she said and took a drink of her water.

"I'm sorry we couldn't congratulate you girls after the game last night," Benji said and the three girls shrugged.

"There'll be more," Beca brushed off and looked down at her phone to see she got a text from her dad.

We need to talk. Bring Emily to the house after school.

"What's this about?" Beca tapped her friend's shoulder who looked down at the phone.

"I have no idea but I guess we'll find out," she shrugged and continued eating.

The last couple periods went by agonizing slow for Beca only because all she seemed to think about was the redhead with the insanely sweet voice.

Beca didn't like talking to anybody other than her small group of friends so she found it quite alarming when she thought about talking to Chloe again.

She was sitting in her world culture class which she was lucky enough to have with Emily and Stacie but she had previously noticed Chloe who sat a couple rows over with Aubrey.

"Because this class is based off culture, I'm going to put you all in groups of four to work on a world culture project," their teacher said moving away from her desk and beginning to hand out pieces of papers.

"You will pick a country from this list- preferably one you don't know about, and research the different aspects of culture as in geography, sports, politics, and how they dress or act. Now this is an elective class so I tried my best to group you with students from different grades."

The class groaned as the finished passing the papers around and their teacher went over the directions before continuing on with the groups.

"Jackson, Ryan, Makayla and Savannah," she said and moved onto the next group. "Troy, Rachel, Stacie and Amanda."

"Really, Mrs. Richards?" Troy asked. "Can't you put me in another group?"

"Oh please, you're just mad because I didn't call you back," Stacie said and the class 'ohhed' and Beca just laughed as she leaned back in her seat.
