Pitch Made In Heaven (A Pitch Perfect Story)

Chapter 4: The Riff Off

Chapter 4: 

I was just sitting under the shade of a big tree and reading a book when I heard someone call my name. I looked up and saw Donald jogging over to me. I rolled my eyes and continued on reading.

"Hey babe." He greeted.

"How many times do I have to tell you to stop calling me babe, Donny." I asked him still not looking up from the book I was reading.

"Fine. I'll start calling you baby then. It's cuter and like Donny, it ends with y." He said as he flopped down next to me and placed an arm around my shoulders.

"So, what are you reading." He asked me. I hesitated showing him but figured he would find out one way or another and lifted the book up to how him the title.

"Fifty Shades of Grey, huh?" He asked with a smirk.

"Don't get any ideas you perv." I replied.

"Baby, I didn't know you were into that kind of kink. Maybe we could try acting out some scenes from the book?" He told me.

"In your dreams." Was all I replied.

"Come on, Addie. I've been trying to let you go out with me for weeks now and you keep shutting me down. What do I have to do?" He asked me exasperated.

"Prove just how serious you are to me." I said, saving the page I stopped reading and turning to face him.

"Okay." Was all he said before standing up and dragging me up with him. He walked to the middle of the field we were in and gathered the student's attention. Once everyone's eyes were on him, he went down on one knee and started to speak.

"Addie Swanson, to prove to you how serious I am, I'm asking you in front of a lot of our peers and school mates. Will you go out with me?" He asked while looking at me. I blushed red from all the attention I was getting.

"Donald? What are you doing? Get up you moron." I whispered to him.

"Not until I get my answer." He told me with a sly smile. I looked at him and then at the crowd who gathered to see what the great Donald Walsh was doing. I sighed.

"Fine. I'll go out with you. Now get up!" I told him. He got up and grinned at me. We started walking away and he placed his arm around my waist.

"So, a pretty effective way to prove to someone how serious you are, huh?" He asked with a teasing smile.

"Oh. Whatever. So, when does this date happen?" I asked him.

"Tomorrow. Right after the Riff Off, of course." He said and I stopped walking.

"What the hell is a Riff Off?" I asked him confused. After explaining to me what a Riff Off was, we went our separate ways and agreed to meet in my dorm room tomorrow after the Riff Off so no one would see us out together. 

***** THE RIFF OFF *****

All the a capella groups stood inside the drained pool while the audience sat in the sides of it. I was currently talking with Benjie when Justin arrived.

"Hit it! Welcome to the riff-off! Who's ready to get vocal? The winners get the greatest prize of all. The microphone used by Hoobastank when they rocked out at the Schnee Performing Art Centre." Justin started saying.

"I'll see you later, alright Benj?" I asked him and he nodded as I hugged him and made my way down the pool to where the other Bellas were gathered.

"Let's see our first category. Ladies of the 80's." Justin said once the category was decided. Aubrey then hurriedly ran to the front but Bumper and some other Trebles beat her to it. They started singing "Hey Mickey."
