The Ghost

5- Initiation

     For some reason I have a bag on my head. Maybe Carmen discovered that I was here. Suddenly the bag was lifted off my head.
     "Our Altos, Fat Amy and Beca." Aubrey said. "We shall begin by drinking the blood of the sisters who came before."
     Chloe was standing in front of me with a fancy wine glass. That's filled with a red liquid. Also we're are we?
     "Dude, no." I said looking around at the other girls.
     "Don't worry it Boone's farm." Chloe said with a reassuring smile and a wink.
     After the whole drinking the blood of the sisters who came before us shindig we went to a party.
     "Ladies, welcome to aca-initiation night." Aubrey said leading the group.
     "I don't know what I'm doing here." I said as I turn records Amy.
     "Just living the dream. Shawshank!" Amy said. "You should've seen Chloe, she seemed like she was going to get on the stage just to kiss you."
     Ah shit. Amy's teasing me. Then I spot the brunette who was starring at me earlier. It was Jesse.
     "Beca!" Jesse yelled.
     "Anyway have fun!" Amy yelled as she walked off to join the party.
     "Amy-" I tried to get her attention but I was cut off.
     "Becaw!" Jesse yelled again finally gaining my attention. "Jesus Christ, my eyes don't deceive me. It's you."
     "What are you doing here?" I ask looking around.
     "What are YOU doing here?" Jesse counters. "Since when are you at Barden anyway? You don't work for Josh anymore?"
     "Lower your voice!" I whisper shout. I swear that kids an idiot.
     "Oh, I see, your undercover." Jesse said nodding knowingly.
     "Shut the fuck to, Jesse." I swear if my covers blown because of him he's a dead man.
     "Despite the fact your still with him, I'm happy to see you." Jesse said with his easygoing smile.
     "I wont talk about that here." I said crossing my arms.
     "Well let's talk about other things." Jesse said while shrugging. "I'm going to get you a drink and your going to talk about that mtv rockstar look."
     "Hi!" Chloe said walking over to me and grabbing my hands and pulling up close.
     "Oh!" I exclaimed. Our faces are so close right now.
     "I'm so glad that I met you." Chloe said. I can smell the alcohol from her breath. "I think we're gonna be really fast friends."
     "Yeah. Well you saw me naked, so..." I said with a smirk while adding a wink.
"Thanks for not running away from me,". Chloe said getting slightly more serious. "after knowing about my mom, that was really kind of you."
"Chloe, I couldn't run away from you even if I wanted to." I said trying to lighten the mood.
"We're on the same page then." Chloe said smiling. Aubrey was glaring at us at Chloe seemed to take notice of it. "I gotta go. I'll see you around."
"I'll see you around." I echo.
Once she pulled away I can feel my cheeks heat up. That's just great. I'm blushing. I clear my throat and think.'" 'Okay... now I definitely need a drink.'
Then I think back to a conversation I had with Josh.
————————————————————
She was in the shower... with you?" Josh asked. "That's-"
I quickly cut him off. "Please don't finish that sentence." I plead. "How am I supposed to act professionally if she does things like that?"
"I don't care how you handle the situation, I'm only interested in everything she knows about Carmen." Josh said. "Never get attached to anyone in this line of work."
————————————————————
"Hey, are you okay?" Jesse asked bringing me back to reality.
"Yeah, um. I'm great." I said a little startled from the sudden voice.
"Come on, we need to talk." Jesse said looking around.
