The next day came fast and Emily stayed around Ali the near kiss experience was not mentioned. Addy had not emerged from her room at any point. Stacie and Beca hasn't talked more but watched a movie and pretty much went to bed straight afterwards. The next day Addy came down in three different outfits as Stacie made her change her outfit til it was appropriate. Or at least the best of a bad bunch before she gave in and just let her wear it. Other than that nothing was said.
Addy had sat with her AirPods in looking out the window she had put her makeup on to cover her bruises. Her back was really painful today and was leaning forward on the chair not to put any weight on her back. They pulled up at the school and Stacie turns around.
"Addy is your back okay?" Stacie said concerned. Beca turned around at this also concerned.
"I'm fine." Addy said getting out the car and slamming the door. And walking off.
"Breath Stace. We will talk with her tonight. Or something just check her back just try and avoid her at school don't get involved and make it worse. She is already got detention Friday. And every break so let's not push it considering we have to get her out of her sessions with the teachers anyway." Beca said calmly before getting out the car. They both stood out of the car.
"Remember smile. Ride this out it will be fine" Beca said as Stacie nodded ready to go in and fake the rest of the day.

The bell rang for home room and everyone went into class and as the new normal Addy walked in late.
"Miss Mitchell, it's starting to became a habit. You being late." Miss Holmes said continuing to talk to the rest of the class.
"Okay cool" Addy replied not caring. Sitting down in her seat at the back. Morgan rolled her eyes this what not the girl she was friends with.
"Addy. Your walking on very thin ice right now! So if I were you I would keep quiet and keep your head down. And not another word from you, got it?" Addy nodded and Miss Holmes' warning not really caring and sitting down. Miss Holmes starting talking about parents evening and just general notices in the register Addy was listening but had her phone out playing a game on her phone pretending to do something.
The bell rang for the end of class and everyone left the room and Miss Holmes stood by the door wishing everyone a good day.
"Addy phone now!" Addy fakes a confused look only to be meet by a disapproving look from her teacher.
"Don't act like you don't know. You were on your phone, so I'm taking it and you can get it back after you session with Miss Ranyon after school. We will talk at break about your absence yesterday and you have no choice in being their as you have my lesson before break."

Beca walked into her first class which was Maths, she sat next to Chloe which would cause enough issues and she would have to explain why she wasn't answering her. As Beca walked in she looked at Chloe. Chloe's hair and her smile the way it make Beca smiles knew she couldn't ignore her. When had Beca properly listened to her mother, she rebelled with the clothing. And maybe if she was more careful with Chloe is didn't have to get caught. The only reason she ignored her so far over the weekend because Addy had faced the consequences. But right now if Addy wasn't in danger maybe she could talk to Chloe again.

Beca hadn't realised she had been staring and standing for that long until Miss Holmes coughed. And Beca woke up from her trance and rushed to sit down.
"Hey." Beca whispered as Miss Holmes started speaking.
"Oh so now you want to talk to me!" Chloe replies still keeping her focus on the board what Miss Holmes was doing.
"Sorry, it's just been a crazy weekend. A lot of stuff happened." Beca said more focused on Chloe than the board. Beca loves the way Chloe even acts mad she hadn't seen this side of her it's cute and the way she is trying to act like she is concentrating and making notes.
"Apparently you were sick Friday!" Chloe mumbled back knowing that wasn't true.
"Yea it kinda lasted all weekend but I'm fine now."
"Don't lie to me you seemed fine Thursday."
"I think it was the pizza, cause Addy fell sick too and then we all got it from her."
"So was it the food or the Pizza! Stop telling me too different stories!" Chloe raised her voice slightly and looked at Beca.
"Chloe, Beca stop talking!" Miss Holmes interrupts. The girls wait until Miss Holmes sets them on the task.

"Well we think Addy got it from the pizza, then we were all sick." Beca said back tracking to where they were.
"Beca just stop lying to me! If you don't want to talk to me anymore don't! Just don't lie to me about being sick!" Chloe replies she was hurt and wanted Beca to understand that.
"Chloe I didn't lie to you. I was sick and then busy as Addy was continuing to throw up so we had to do a lot around her. Chlo I'm sorry, please." Beca begged Chloe was different to all of the other girls she was with.
"But why couldn't you just tell me that. Takes two seconds to text I'm busy right now call you later. I was worried. About you about your sisters, I care about you. And I'm putting my friendship with Aubrey on the line for this and all your doing is proving her right!" Chloe said trying to get on with the work. Luckily everyone else was talking so no one over heard the conversation cause it was never confirmed by Beca they were dating just getting g to know each other as friends. Close friends.
"I know I messed up. I'm sorry next time I will do it. And fuck Aubrey!"
"Beca language!" Miss Holmes called putting obviously Beca had said fuck louder than intended.
"Sorry!" Beca said then lowered her voice.
"Chloe, I'm sorry. Please how about I take you out tomorrow night." Beca said and Chloe stopped and looked shocked in her eyes.
"Like, like on a date?" Chloe said surprised.
"Yea if you want to do that?" Beca asked actually for the first time nervous for a girl not to say yes.
"Yes, I would love to!" Chloe said so excited.
"Okay cool. We'll talk about this later."
"Yea okay." Chloe said blushing further now she was excited. Minimal talk went on for the rest of the class and the bell rang promptly for the end class and everyone left Chloe, even though she wouldn't approve, wanted to tell Aubrey so she could go home and help her pick her outfit for tomorrow.
