*Beca's POV*
     "Okay... so what in the actual fuck just happened?" I quietly asked myself, finally continuing to take my damn shower. Chloe only left about a minute ago and my heart is still racing. Why the fuck is my heart racing? I think back to everything I can remember, other than that damn ceiling. I rolled my eyes at myself.
     First, Chloe just barges into my shower ass naked like it's no big deal. Who does that? Then, she pushed her arm behind me and turned off the water. The girl has balls to be pulling shit like that, and it really shocked me. Apparently my jaw dropped open enough for her to feel the need to close it for me, and wink at me. Chloe fucking winked at me?!
     She was asking me questions, but I couldn't really focus on anything she was saying. I already thought she was beautiful at the activities fair but this time she was naked, and I couldn't stop looking. Damnit, why did I keep looking?
     I remembered Chloe saying something about Titanium being her lady jam, but I tried to ignore it until she fucking grabbed my chin, forced me to look at her in the eyes, and said "song really builds." Winking at me! Again!
     It was the first time our eyes locked onto each other's since the activities fair. Although this time, I felt like Chloe was trying to find something. In my eyes. What was she looking for? "Who is Chloe, really?" I whisper to myself. I need to know what she was looking for, and why.
     For god knows what reason, Chloe asked me to sing Titanium for her after telling me it was her "lady jam". It was super sexual because we were naked and she was flirting with me, but I played it off like it bothered me. She insisted she was staying until I sang it for her, so I started singing it. I don't know exactly what I was expecting when I started singing, but I definitely wasn't expecting her to sing with me. She had an amazing soprano voice, and singing with her made my heart race. I got lost in her voice until I remembered I was naked in the shower with Chloe fucking Beale.
     Then she pretty much demanded I audition for the Bella's and walked out. She never even once asked my name. The girl had seen me naked, but didn't even know my damn name. I thought it was fucked up, so I called out to her, and peeked around the corner of the shower a little bit and told her my name is Beca. I didn't give her a chance to answer before getting back in. I heard her whisper something before she walked away. It sounded like my name, but I wasn't entirely sure. I have a feeling this girl is about to fuck my life up.

    I shut off the water and dry off before putting on my robe and heading back to my room. On my way out of the bathroom, I'm pretty sure I could heard someone about to hook up in one of the showers. "Gross.." I whisper to myself and walk out. Before I got to my room I passed a flyer in the hallway for the Bella's. Auditions were tomorrow at noon.
     I got in bed and listened to a few of my mixes. Auditions are pretty much right after my interview at 11. I'm not completely sure I want to be a Bella, but I am sure I need to get closer to Chloe. If I get in, I probably won't stay for long, but I can't get Chloe out of my head. I need to know what she was looking for, so I'm gonna get closer to her through the Bella's. I think about Chloe until I fall asleep.

     I wake up to my annoying alarm. It's 10 am and my interview is in an hour. I groan and roll out of bed to get ready, putting on a casual but nice outfit. I dressed myself in a nice pair of black skinny jeans, black heel boots, and a fitting dark maroon button up. I did my makeup, but toned down my eyeliner a little bit for the sake of the interview, and threw my hair up in a messy bun. I looked in the mirror and sighed before walking out. I need to impress the Radio Station people, but I really want to impress Chloe, too. I don't even know if she's gay, but she was definitely flirting with me.
     I put my earbuds in and walk to the radio station. I'm a couple minutes early and the lady at the front desk is on the phone. She just looks and me and points to a door. I start heading that way and say "okay, uh thanks." I push the door open and notice it's filled with shelves upon shelves of CD's. There are piles of CD's everywhere just scattered around too. I slowly make my way towards the studio where I'm met by a super muscular dude.
     "I'm Luke, you must be Beca" He says, smiling. "Uh.. yup hi that's me, I'm... Beca." I shake my head at myself.
     "Okay cool, well there's a bunch of CD's that need stacked." He says, giving me a stupid look.
     "Uh yeah sure, okay..." I say, "but I thought this was just an interview?"
     He laughed at me. "You're here for a job, right? When you're done with that pile, there's more." He pointed. God dammit, there's so many CD's.
     Just then some boy quickly walked in. "Hey man, I'm Jesse!" I recognized the voice and my head shot up. I had hoped it wasn't him, but it was. It was the fucking taxi kid. Luke looked annoyed, "I'm Luke, you're late." He said.
      Jesse ignored Luke's comment. He smiled at me. "Hey!" Jesse said far too loudly. Luke just walked away and yelled "start stacking!" After getting back into the studio he peeked his head out of the door and yelled "and no sex on the table!" Jesse smirked at this and started rambling about some stuff I didn't give a shit about.
     After stacking CD's for a little bit, I checked my phone. "Shit!" I yelled to myself after reading it was 12:56. I missed auditions! I finished the pile of CD's I was stacking and ran to the studio where Luke was. I knocked on the window and told him I had somewhere to be, also mentioning it was urgent. Surprisingly, he didn't seem to give a single shit, so I grabbed my stuff and ran out without saying a single word to Jesse.
     "Same time tomorrow, don't be late!" Luke yelled before I ran out the door. I just held a thumbs up in the air and kept running as well as I could in heel boots. I hurried to the auditorium, but everyone was gone by the time I got there. I was pissed, mainly because I was trying to look nice for Chloe.
     I started to walk back to my room to take that shit off when beautiful red waves of hair caught my attention. It was Chloe! Before thinking I started running towards her and yelled "Chloe, wait!" She turned around and so did the blonde girl next to her. Shit... it's Aubrey.
