    as soon as he’s  out  of the taxi that brought him     to the studio  from  the  airport  she’s run at him,     full force, and thrown her  arms around his neck.     her feet are  dangling  when  he catches her and     she’s got her face buried in his shoulder,  taking     in his scent. she holds on tightly without thought     of letting  go  except  maybe  to  sneak  in a kiss.

         & as if he can’t tell, she murmurs an

                        ❛ i miss you ❜

              into the soft fabric of his shirtsleeve.

   not expecting a greeting of such a warm degree,    he drops his luggage and holds her close to him.    their faces are inches apart until she ducks into    the curve of where his neck meets his shoulder.    a good few kisses are peppered onto her lips    and he’s certain that they miss their mark due to    both of their excitement but he doesn’t care--- the    gesture is all the same. 

         & he replies back with a

                        ❛ hey, you.. ❜

It was audition day, her second year as a Bella, and she’d gotten to the room early to eat a quick lunch and watch a few episodes of Parks & Recreation.  Feet propped up on the table and juice pouch in hand,   she quickly looked up when she heard someone else walk in.  Apparently one of the people auditioning wanted to get an early start as well.

She realized how ridiculous  she  must  look and slowly set the juice pouch down and closed the laptop, all the while staring at the newcomer. A small grin appeared on her lips.

    “There’s so much more to me than what you think you see.”

She had only barely arrived a few hours earlier, when Madi realized that auditions for the Barden Bellas were on that same day. As if things weren’t already hectic as a freshman, what with having to find her dorm and all. She was definitely thankful that she was able to find everything and get settled in quickly.

Checking the time on her phone, she grabbed her purse before heading towards the theater. Better early than late, especially since she had to actually find it first. It only took her a few minutes, surprised it was so close. Stepping inside, she found someone already there. Oh my god, it was thee Becca Mitchell. Just breath and try not to say anything stupid.

“Are you kidding? Juice and Netflix, where can I sign up?”
