Chapter 3

Chloes POV

Sitting next to Beca all during first hour was like torture. I wanted so bad to talk to her and get to know her. Theres this mysterious vibe around her that makes me want to solve all the pieces and put them together like a puzzle. I have a feeling that nobody really knows her and I, for some reason, want to be the first person to. The moment the bell rings, I jump out of my seat, excited to talk to Beca some more.

Want me to walk you to your next class? I nod eagerly and show her my schedule.

Ugh. Math,Beca grimaces sympathetically and gestures for me to follow her. Were almost out the door when Mr. Smith stops us.

Miss Mitchell, could I have a minute please? Beca freezes, her face a little paler than before. For a second, theres a look of panic on her face but its quickly gone, replaced with a cocky smile.

Of course. Anything for you, Mr. Smith. Sarcasm practically drips from every word, and I have to bite my lip from laughing. Ill see you later?

Yeah,I say and head out of class, wondering how in the hell to get to my next class. Thankfully, Aubrey finds me.

Chloe, its been awhile. Hey, John. Ill see you next hour. Aubrey calls out but Mr. Smith doesnt notice, too engrossed in what looks to be like a very serious conversation with Beca.

Whats their deal?I ask, curiosity getting the best of me. Aubrey glances at them and then tugs on my sleeve to get moving.

Not really sure. Hes constantly taking her out of the class I have with her or finds her in the hallway. For some reason, he picks her out of the crowd.

Yeah, she didnt do anything. Other than stare at me the whole time, but I cant say anything. I stared at her too. Aubrey shrugs.

All I can say is that if he sees something wrong with her, she has to be trouble. I stay silent, not wanting to argue with her. Even though shes known Beca longer, I cant help but feel like Becas not as bad as people think. She just has a lot of secrets, but who doesnt?

So heres your second hour. I can meet you right here and take you to our class we have together and then after that, lunch. Ill introduce you to my other friends.

Thanks! I go into my class and introduce myself to the teacher. She points me to a seat and I sink into it, still thinking about Beca and the weird feeling I get around her.

.

Finally, its lunch time. I havent seen Beca since first hour and theres this faint urgency to see her. I cant figure out why I feel this way about her. Like were connected somehow.

To lunch we shall go,Aubrey yells, linking her arm with mine. Now, Ill tell you a little about my friends before you meet them. Theres Cynthia Rose who isnt like a rose whatsoever. Then theres Lily, who is very quiet so it shouldnt be very hard to figure out which one is her. Lastly, theres Stacie who dated Cynthia Rose but they both soon realized they were better off as friends. Stacie is... theres no way you can miss her. Theres a sort of wistfulness tone to Aubreys voice which makes me wonder if she likes Stacie.

Whats up, bitches? A pretty, black girl screams as she heads our way. I heard we have a newcomer. She eyes me for a second before turning to Aubrey.

You didnt tell me she was so cute. Aubrey sighs heavily, turning to look at me.

Sorry, she flirts with everything that walks on two legs and has a vagina. Chloe, this is Cynthia Rose. Cynthia Rose, this is Chloe.

Beautiful name for a beautiful girl,Cynthia smiles and I just shake my head. No, thats not working for you. Youre definitely straight then. Grinning, I shake my head again, slowly.
