WWE University

The Bad Bitches are in Session

Eli's POV

I finish setting up a snack table for us. It was going to be fun to have a little club where us girls could get together and investigate into the cheat sheet that nearly got us expelled.

I look and see Emily taking care of the books. I wince.

"I'm sorry honey, I forgot to take care of that." I apologize. She laughs.

"It's fine. This is my job. I'm happy for you, that you have friends." She assures me. I smile and nod. "Don't worry I won't be much longer, I'm just going to put these books away and then you and your girls can have some fun." She explains. I nod.

"Sounds like a plan." I agree. Suddenly, the door opens and Mr. Barrett walks in. He walks up to Emily and smiles.

"Hey Emily." He greets. I notice Emily's cheeks blush. My jaw drops. I hadn't noticed Emily around Mr. Barrett before.

"Hey Wade." Emily whispers. Wade smiles and gently pats her shoulder before looking around and seeing the food.

"I thought we had a training session at the gym?" He questions. She nods.

"We do, I'm just letting my girl here have a party with some of her friends." Emily explains. Wade looks at me and smiles.

"Eli, it's nice to see you. I trust that you will be excited to resume classes tomorrow." Wade says. I shrug.

"Yeah. Listen, Emily can go right now Mr. Barrett. Just take her off my hands." I insist. He smiles.

"With pleasure." He agrees with a wink. He offers Emily an arm, but she shakes her head.

"Actually, can you help me with my bags?" She requests. He nods and grabs them. Emily pulls me, aside. "Why are you doing this?" She asks. I laugh.

"I'm sorry Em, but I see they way he looks at you. I see the way you look at him. Of course I didn't find out about this until just now, but I'm going to be your wing woman." I tease. She shakes her head and gives me a hug.

"I love you Eli." She whispers. I begin to tear up.

"I love you too, Emily." I reciprocate. She backs away crying. I wipe the tears from her eyes.

"Are you alright?" I ask. She takes a deep breath.

"You just remind me of someone." She admits. I narrow my eyes.

"Who may I ask?" I press. She shakes her head.

"Story for another time." She dismisses. She and Wade walk out together. I stare after them in confusion. What is Ms. Ross not telling me?

I shake my head of the thoughts as I begin putting away the books so that we can have our meeting. I hear the door open just as I am finishing.

"Eli! It's me Jessica, are you here?" I hear her call. I run out.

"Hey Jess. Take a seat, I just need to grab something." I explain. She nods and sits while I go to grab the book that we would need.

I come back and place it on the table to see that Paige has arrived. She is standing awkwardly and having a snack while Jess tries to avoid eye contact. I roll my eyes.

"Okay, this has to stop! You guys have been fighting for months now. I want you two to walk over to that quiet corner over there, and make some effort." I instruct. Jess scoffs.

"And what if I don't?" She sneers. I flick her nose. Jessica looks at me in shock before looking at Paige.

"Let's go." She says. I smile. Looks like sassy Eli always wins.
