WWE Academy

Chapter 27

Seth's POV

Today was the day. Myself, Roman, Kevin, and Big Cass would all compete for the Universal Title, and I planned on winning. Finn was the champion, but he got injured, so now he had a long term sub. I wasn't looking forward to that. I may not have won The WWE Worl title, but I planned on winning this one.

"Chris, what do you think? Red shirt and gold pants, or gold shirt and red pants?" I asked.

"Honestly, you shouldn't wear either, because my best friend Kevin Owens is going to beat all of you," Chris replied with a smirk.

"Ugh, you're supposed to cheer for me!"

Suddenly, Carmella walked in.

"What are you doing here?" I asked disgustedly.

"Uh, I just wanted to talk," she said, taken back by my tone.

"I'm sorry, I'm just pressured about today. But, at least I'll have my favorite girl by my side," I said smiling at her.

"About that," she bit her lip.

I knew what was coming next. "Are you breaking up with me? Right now? Right before the biggest match of my high school career?"

"I'm sorry, it's just, I still have feelings for someone else."

I was shocked. This girl, who made me feel happy for a long time, was now breaking up win me for who knows who.

"Okay, that's fine, but you can leave now."

She walked out and I was left in a pit of anger. I mean, who breaks up with someone right before they have a match?

"Wow, that was a great show, I'm really sad I didn't have any popcorn handy," Chris sighed from the back. I forgot he was even here.

"Chris, shut up," I said and slammed the door.

I walked down the halls and started towards the arena in the school where we'd be fighting. I was almost there, when a certain blonde stopped me.

"Seth, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, Charlotte, nothing."

"Seth, I know you better than anyone, and I know when you aren't okay."

She was right. "Fine, you win."

"Look, there's a few hours before the Universal Championship match, so let's talk," she grabbed my hand and pulled me away.

We walked down another hallway and into a room.

"Seth, please tell me, what's wrong?" She asked me very concerned.

"Carmella broke up with me."

She sighed. "Yeah, I knew she was going to."

"What? And you didn't tell me?"

"We've been hanging out lately and she's told me a lot about her past, and she still has feelings for her ex."

"Ex? That's who she's getting back together with?"

"I guess, I don't know," she shrugged.

"Oh, well that was my problem. Just the fact that the girl I loved dumped me."

"I thought I was the girl you loved?"

I looked at her. "You are."

She kissed me after that. And I realized that Charlotte was the one I loved and will always love.

"Charlotte, I know I've been nothing but a jerk to you, but will you be my girlfriend again?"

She nodded and then I walked back to the locker room.

All the guys were in there, getting ready. Enzo was the only one who was in there, that wasn't wrestling today. I wasn't shocked by his appearance.

"Sami, I don't care! Get me my Oreos! I need a good food to celebrate with after I win today!" Kevin screamed into his phone.

"Gosh, Kevin, be nicer to your friend," Roman answered as he pulled his hair into a bun.

"I hope a lot of people show up to this," I added to the jumble of noise.

"Wait, are the fans allowed in for this match?" Cass asked.

"I think," Kevin answered.

Suddenly Chris barged in.

"LET'S GO KEVIN!"

"Thank you, Chris."

I rolled my eyes. Enzo now had a Happy Meal and he was opening the toy.

"Cass, I got a toy!"

"That's great, Zo."

Then, we heard a trombone from outside the locker room. I knew it had to be no one else, but...

The New Day.

"You're WWE Word Tag Team Champions!" They all yelled from outside.

I still didn't understand why they made such a big deal about having the belts. I mean, yeah it's exciting that they've had them for over a year, but shaking your booty and playing a trombone, not my cup of tea.

But, I heard that the Club was going after those titles again, since they didn't earn them at Summer Slam.

"Guys, I should join the band," Xavier said blowing into his trombone once more.

"Yeah, I'm sure you'd make it," Kofi answered from outside.

I wondered if they were ever going to come in here.

"Of course I would, because no one can play Francesca as well as me."

The voices stopped after that. Chris had left after giving Kevin the pep talk of the century. The match was scheduled to start in about an hour, I was actually pondering why I got her so early. Probably to get away from Chris.

Then, Sasha Banks walked in.

"What are you doing here?" Enzo asked.

"I just stopped by."

Enzo shrugged and she walked past him. She walked over to Roman, and then they started talking. And, just when I thought she was done, they started making out. Like tongue and everything. If this is what Dean had to put up with, then I actually felt sorry for the guy.

But, this was also an advantage to us. If Roman was in this state, than maybe he'd go out there and blow it. Which, I secretly hoped happened. One less person to go after this title, the better.

"Guys, fifteen minutes," Daniel appeared in the doorframe to tell us. "Also, Miss Banks, out."

After that, I walked out into the arena. With this title on the line, I needed a victory.

Everything was going my way. Cass had been eliminated and now I really wanted Roman out of the way. Just when I thought Roman was on top of everything, Triple H came out there and took him out. I laughed to myself, but then he came after me. I don't know why he did that, because I was his Golden Boy a few years ago. Then, he handed Kevin the title. So it was cheated.

Kevin was handed the title on a silver platter.

And no one did anything.

Not even Shane.
