Chapter 1

The hallways of the Barden University dorms were silent, the sound of rustling leaves and the cool autumn breeze occasionally trickling through the cracked windows. Almost all of the students had left for Thanksgiving break; the time they cherished close to their family and far away from the stresses of their classes. A select few students chose to take advantage of the peace and quiet of the campus, including a few members of Barden's infamous a capella group, The Bellas. Freshman rebel DJ Beca Mitchell was one of the three Bellas that remained on campus for the duration of the three-day break.
