The first time I meet Chloe is during the activities fair on campus. I hadn't even really wanted to go down there. Had my dad not shown up and tried to lecture me again, I wouldn't have ended up there. Maybe I should thank him for that. Anyway, Chloe. I'm walking around aimlessly at this fair on a campus that I don't even want to be attending. I would much rather be in LA right now working on getting a job as a DJ. My dad had other plans and pretty much forced me to attend college.

I catch sight of a blond girl and a red head girl arguing slightly in front of a booth. My eyes meet hers and a bright smile comes over her face. The blond girl turns to me and gives me a skeptical look.

"Hello, would you like to join our a cappella group?"

I cock an eyebrow as I glance at the flier she's handed me. "Oh right. This is like a thing now."

The red head proceeds to launch into an explanation of a few things. I wasn't really focusing on the words coming out of her mouth so much as her mouth itself. I caught the part about traveling all over the country and made a smartass response. The blond haired girl seems to enter the conversation and goes off on me.

I cock an eyebrow again and shoot a glance to the red head. "What Aubrey means is we're a very close knit group." I thank them before informing them that singing isn't really my thing before walking off.

Over the next few weeks, I'd managed to obtain a job at the radio station. I was currently in the process of skipping my philosophy class when my dad walks in. I block out most of what he says until he agrees to help me move to LA if I join a campus group. My mind automatically goes back to the two girls I'd met and their a cappella group. Well, the red head was hot. So I agree if only to get him off my back.

I sing Titanium as I walk into the dorm shower. I notice one of the stalls is taken and make sure to take one a couple stalls down. I continue singing as I strip and turn on the water.

"You can sing!"

I let out a yelp before turning to be met with a blue-eyed gaze. I recognize the red haired girl from the activities fair. I grab the curtain and yank it shut, only to have it pulled back open. I turn back around to hide myself from her gaze.

"You were singing Titanium, right?"

I look back over my shoulder to meet her gaze. "You know David Guetta?"

She gives me a look before answering. "Have I been living under a rock? Yeah. That's my jam." I feel her push closer and attempt to absorb myself into the wall. "My lady jam."

My eyes widen and I turn to look at her. My heart is racing and I'm trying to reign myself back in.

"Will you sing it for me?"

My eyes manage to widen even further. "No!"

She rolls her eyes. "Not for that reason. Please?"

I hesitate and turn to look at her again. Her blue eyes are pleading and I sigh before beginning to sing. A couple seconds in, she joins in and takes the harmony. A small smile graces my features as we sing together. We stop a few minutes later and she smiles brightly at me.

"My name is Chloe," she says as she hands me my towel.

I cover myself before looking up at her. "Beca."

She smiles brightly before her boy toy invades my privacy further. "You have a really nice voice."

I look at him incredulously before managing a 'thanks.' She rolls her eyes and pushes him out of the stall. "See you at auditions!"

I don't see her again until the day of auditions. I'm running late and they're just bringing things to a close when I walk in. I see her face brighten up and she calls me in.

I smirk nervously and make my way onto the stage. "I didn't know we had to prepare that song."

Chloe waves her hand dismissively before telling me to sing whatever I want. I grab the cup on their table and begin singing. Chloe looks impressed, while Aubrey looks confused. "That was great," Chloe says excitedly. I smile before taking my leave.

Needless to say, I make it into the Bellas. Aubrey tells us we're to drink the blood of the previous Bellas and I obviously am the first to flip shit. "Dude, no." Chloe smirks at me as she hands me the cup. "Don't worry. It's Boones Farm," she whispers with a wink.

After our initial initiation, we all make our way to the outdoor arena for Hood Night. Here, we meet all the other new inductees from the other groups. Jesse, a boy I met my first day and also work with, makes his way towards me. I smile as he begins speaking in a slurred manner. I tease him about his drunken state until he offers to get me a drink. Jesse is a sweet kid and is totally cool with my sexuality. He's become practically my only friend here.

As I wait for him to return, I'm met with Chloe's blue gaze. Her fingers grip the collar of my jacket and she pulls my face closer to hers. I gasp at our close proximity and steady myself.

"I'm so glad I met you," she slurs out.

I smile and chuckle at her obviously drunken state. "I think we're going to be really fast friends."

I smile and shake my head. "Well you've seen me naked," I retort flirtatiously with a wink.

She giggles before letting go of me. I stop myself from pouting and let our eyes meet again.

"I'm going to get another drink. This ginger needs her jiggle juice."

My jaw practically drops as she slaps her own ass before walking away. I spend the rest of the night talking to Jesse before making my way back to my room.

A month or so passes and our group goes to our first competition. I get arrested afterwards because we accidentally break a window with the Treblemakers trophy. Jesse calls my dad to bail me out, which results in me yelling at him. I return to my room to find all the Bellas waiting for me.

"What up, Shawshank?" Fat Amy calls out.

I smirk and set my things down. "You guys waited up for me?"

Chloe's gaze meets mine and I fight back a smile. "Of course we waited up for you," she replies with a smile.

Kimmy Jin tells me how irritating they are before leaving. Aubrey lectures about how irresponsible we all are and how we will no longer be entertaining silly ideas about changing the line up. They all leave soon after. Except for Chloe. She hangs back to talk to me and listen to one of my new mash ups.

"You're really good at this stuff, Beca."

I smile and feel a blush creeping onto my cheeks. "Uh, thanks."

Chloe lies back on my bed and I smirk, rolling my eyes. "You really make yourself at home, don't you?" She smiles, giggling before pulling on my hands. I can't catch my balance this time and find myself practically on top of her. My hands are on either side of her head and my legs are around her waist. "Um, this is…interesting," I mumble, averting my gaze from hers. I hear her laugh and my body tenses slightly as her hands grasp my waist. "Good interesting or bad interesting?" My eyes widen and I shake my head.

One of her hands is suddenly intertwined with one of my mine. Her free hand comes up and wraps around the back of my neck.

"Chloe," I start. She shakes her head and pulls my face closer to hers.

"Don't. I've seen the way you look at me. The first time we met, the night in the shower, Hood Night. I could go on, but I won't. Why do you try to hide it?"

I sigh and avert my gaze again, trying not to look at her. I swallow the lump in my throat and pull back slightly, looking down at her.

"Chloe. I don't like getting close to people. I shut people out when they get too close. Plus, it's not like you feel the same. I don't take rejection well and I didn't want to lose you as a friend."

My hand comes up to the back of my neck and I rub it uncomfortably. Chloe's hand is suddenly on my chin, pulling my face back down to hers.

"Don't tell me how I feel, Beca. And don't ever shut me out."

I open my mouth to reply, but her lips on my own cut me off. I let out a surprised squeal and my eyes widen slightly. It finally connects that Chloe is kissing me and I melt against her. Her hands are tangled in my hair, pulling me impossibly closer. I moan into her mouth as her tongue brushes mine. She uses my surprised state to her advantage, flipping us over so she's on top. Her lips leave mine, causing me to arch up for more contact. She giggles and pecks my lips again before pushing me back onto the bed. Chloe arches an eyebrow as I stare up at her, chest heaving and smirking.

"Everyone thinks you're such a badass, but clearly they've got you all wrong," she teases as she rolls off of me.

I smirk and shake my head. "Wait until you get me in bed. My badass will reappear."

She smiles brightly as she giggles. A smirk suddenly comes across her face. "I already have you in bed, baby."

I curse internally at my error and roll my eyes. "You know what I mean."

Chloe winks and moves closer to me. "Of course I do." Her arms wrap around my waist and she pulls me into her body. I curl into her and let her lips connect with mine again. Her hands start up my shirt, causing me to arch into her touch. The sound of Chloe's cell phone ringing pulls us apart. She rolls on top of me to grab her phone off my desk. I see her eyes roll and automatically know it's Aubrey. She answers and begins speaking to her friend and the girl who pretty much hates me.

I smirk as an idea comes to mind. I run my tongue up from her collarbone to her pulse point, biting lightly as I reach it. Chloe's hand moves into my hair and I have to hold back a moan as she pulls. My hands move to her back and slip up her shirt. My nails dig into her back and drag down, causing her jaw to drop and her eyes to roll back.

"Aubrey, I'm just going to stay at Beca's tonight okay?"

I smirk as she leans down and brushes her lips against mine. I wiggle out from underneath her and begin gathering my stuff to go shower. Chloe manages to ignore me since she's trying to come up with a good excuse as to why she's staying with me. Well, until my clothes start coming off anyway. Chloe's jaw drops as she watches my clothes hit the floor. Her mouth opens and closes a few times as her mind tries to catch up with her.

"Aubrey, I promise we'll both be at practice tomorrow. We're just hanging out and watching movies, okay? I'll see you tomorrow morning. Good night." She hangs up her phone and looks at me incredulously.

"What? I'm going to shower," I reply as I pull on my robe.

Chloe raises an eyebrow and clicks her tongue. "You did that on purpose."

I smirk and wink at her. "Are you coming or staying here?" Her eyebrows shoot up into her hairline at my question. I arch an eyebrow in response. "Well?" I open my door and begin to venture out. Chloe stands quickly and shuts the door before beginning to strip. She grabs another one of my towels and wraps it around her body. "Let's go," she replies with a wink. I smirk and open the door, making my way to the shower with Chloe right behind me.
