She is Rebecca Jones, a brilliant student Milton Secondary School . Now Beca, as her family calls her, is studying her last year of High School education. She won a scholarship to study next year Law at Harvard University. For Beca it has been very difficult to study because of her family’s economical problems. But as she is a very good student, her family is doing a big effort to give her the education that she deserves. As Beca is aware of her situation she is studying all the time because she thinks that she can’t fail her parents.
Because of her studies Beca has forgotten a very important thing in her life, this is “having friends”. Her classmates don’t even know her. They only see her when she has to give exams, but they don’t look at her. They just look her exams. The only friends she has are books.
One day Beca started to feel very sad because of this. She saw a group of her classmates planning a party to welcome a new student that was talking with them.
Beca thought that they were not going to invite her because nobody knew that she existed. The new classmate looked at her and noticed that she was a very sad girl. He walked by her side and invited her to the party but when he saw her face he realized that he knew this girl from a long time ago, when they were kids. But he remembered her as a happy and beautiful girl who loved playing with a green ball, so he got closer to her and said, Beca? Are you the same Beca that used to play with me when we were younger? When she turned and saw his face she couldn’t believe it was Daniel Brown, her first and only best friend she had ever had. From this moment on Beca never felt alone again and her life turned from sadness to happiness.
