Not so unexpected

6. Never a fan of new things.

Don't do this to you. Beca said to herself for the millionth time.

She was in the back of the stage listening to some guy perform a song for Kelly Clarkson.

"Is that Benji?" Beca asked to nobody in particular from the side of said stage.

"All right. That is everybody." A dude said. Beca spotted Chloe sitting next to Aubrey in the front row. She looked somehow disappointed. Well, she never promised she was coming to audition. Beca couldn't help but feel guilty because she Let the bubbly readhead down.

Before she knew it, everyone was leaving and she felt a bit relieved yet sad.

Beca never sang in front of people, At least not more than two persons At time. Yes, she was shy and yes she felt scared to audition.

She looked around the room to see if anyone was there. A song won't hurt anyone.

With that, Beca slowly walked to the centre of the stage and took a yellow cup from one of the desks in front of it. She started playing a melody with the cup and then, her beautiful voice was echoing around the auditorium.

"Bree we cant be picky this year." Chloe said walking next to her friend. "You either pick the crying girl or nobody."

Aubrey turned her head only narrowing her eyes At Chloe.
They entered the machine room in the auditorium to turn off the lights, since they had to close it.

"Chloe its not like we're desperate or anything." She said, earning a raised eyebrow from the redhead.

"Well, a new fit singer won't show just like that." Chloe said snapping her fingers.

"Or will she?" Aubrey said looking through the polarized window. Chloe looked At her confused until she heard a perfect voice sing.

"Beca?!." They both said in surprise.

The two friends, or cousins. Whatever you think is better, slowly walked near Beca and sat on one of the sits where there wasn't light.

"You're gonna miss me by my hair, you're gonna miss me everywhere.
Oh im sure you're gonna miss me when im gone." A little smile grew on Beca's face.

Chloe was about to say something but she was surprised when her cousin spoke first. "Not so bad, Mitchell."

Beca's eyes went wide and her face become paler than usual. She quickly threw the cup and turned around to make her way out.

JESSE'S HERE AS WELL?! she said to herself when she met her friend's gaze.

She heard Chloe's voice calling her but she ignored it and kept walking.
Suddenly, everything went black.

Panic rushed through her body. She couldn't scream it was physically imposible for her. She tried to fight and free herself. She started sweating, she felt the little ball of angst in her throat.

"Aubrey, why the damn bag?" She heard her math partner said. She then relaxed a bit.

"Its the tradition of the bellas." Aubrey replied.

Beca placed her feet firmly on the floor, making aubrey lose a bit of strength. Then, she grabbed Aubrey's hand and turned around, putting Aubrey's arm on the blonde's back, making her fall.

"Dude What the fuck?" The tiny but no so weak brunette said taking the bag off her head.

Chloe was speechless. Was she supposed to say something? It was impossible to know that Beca was THAT strong and fast.

"Thanks for helping Chlo." Aubrey mumbled getting on her feet.

Beca looked At Chloe in disbelief. "Is anyone going to answer?!" She said impatient.

"Well." Chloe started awkwardly. "We have this Bella tradition where when we chose a newbie, we put a bag on her head and take her to the place where we practice."

"But obviously you ruined your surprise." Aubrey added.

"I'm not going to be part of that group." Beca could sense chloe's sadness when those words fell from her mouth.

"Hobbit please, you actually have..." The blonde couldn't believe what she was about to say. "A good voice, and we need you."

"Are we desperate?" Beca crossed her arms, smirking At the blonde. "Would you take a "dyke" " beca said making air quotes. "In your ruined group?"

Aubrey's face was red by now, and Chloe was confused, she didn't know if she was surprised for the fact that Beca called herself dyke, which means she's gay, or because her cousin said that.

"How do you...?" Aubrey started but Beca cut her off.

"We go to the same school, Posen." Beca started to turn around, walking away of the pair that was in front of her.

"Beca." Chloe suddenly said, she didn't know how, but she made Beca stop and turn around, facing the redhead. "You just said it, we're a ruined group because a little mistake that happened last year. Now we have bad fame and almost nobody wanted to audition. Please help us."

Beca found hard to say no to Chloe. Her puppy eyes were shinning with a little glint of hope. Before she could answer, Chloe was already walking away from her. "I'm looking forward to see you today At the practice."

Beca stood there, she wasn't sure What she should do. She really liked the new friendship she was building with Chloe, she could please her just this time.

Beca walked to her house, having an internal battle with herself.
