WWE Academy

Chapter 29

Renee's POV

School, yay. I'm excited for today because there's a new student coming. He's a cruiserweight, and I get to interview him. I'm not a wrestler, but I am the school journalist, so I get to attend the school and all of it's events. The new student's name was TJ Perkins.

He was really cute, even way cuter in person. Sure, I'd seen him on TV, and in CWC, but in person, he was blowing up on the wow factor scale. I used to have a crush on Dean Ambrose, I still do actually, but he has a girlfriend now so...

Around lunch time, I got my note pad ready and waited for TJ to sit down. He sat down in the outside quad, which was good for me because I wouldn't have to yell over all the talking in the cafeteria.

"Hey, TJ, right?" I asked as I approached him.

"Yeah, let me guess, you want to know why I'm here?"

"No, not exactly," I started sitting next to him. "I'm Renee Young, the school's journalist, and I wanted to ask you a few questions."

"Oh, well hi, Renee. I'm TJ Perkins, as you know. I'm here on a scholarship, I'm sixteen, and I am currently the cruiserweight champion," TJ said, eating his lunch.

I wrote all the information down on my notepad, and I was ready to leave, but TJ asked me to stay.

"So, you know all about me, but I know nothing about you."

I laughed. "Well, I already told you my name, but I'm also sixteen, I love photography and journalism, obviously. And I basically go here to write reviews on the events that go on."

"That's cool."

"I guess you could say that."

"You don't enjoy it?" He questioned.

"It's not that, it's just, I don't know."

"So what's this Spring Fling they're advertising?"

I looked down. "It's some school dance thing."

"Oh, are you going?"

"I have to. Once they crown the King and Queen, I have to interview them."

He looked at me. "Don't you ever get a break? You know, take some time off for yourself?"

That was a good question. I always put this school "job" before my own life. I was a sixteen year old. I should be out with friends and boys. But, here I am, writing for a school newspaper. At this moment though, I actually felt like a normal teenager. Just having a normal conversation with a guy.

"No, I really don't. I always put this before anything."

"Well, I'm probably going to the dance, but I'm not sure yet."

Then I was saved by the bell. "Well, I have to go, but I'll see you later, maybe?"

He nodded and I ran inside the building to go find Becky, one of my only friends here.

I found her at her locker with her boyfriend, Sami. They were smiling and she was hugging him. I waited patiently in the back until he parted away from her. Becky turned around to face me, her face a bit in shock.

"Renee, how long have you been standing there? Sorry, I would've turned around sooner-" I cut her off.

"It's fine."

"Okay, anyway, what do you need?"

We started walking. "Do you know the new guy, TJ Perkins?"

She nodded.

"Well, I kind of have a crush on him," I stated and she furrowed her brows. "Now, I know what you're thinking, no it's not some fantasy crush, I just had a nice conversation with him outside, and he's really nice."

"Wait, don't you have a crush on Dean?" She asked.

"Yeah, but it's never going to happen, so I'm trying to move on."

"Renee, you know, Spring Fling is coming up, and I know you don't have a date, no offense."

"I know, but I'm not sure he'll want to go with me," I said looking at my feet.

"Just ask. You never know what he's going to say," she said heading off to her class. "You may be pleasantly surprised."

Sasha's POV

Clash of champions had finally arrived. I was going against Charlotte for the women's championship, along with Bayley. Seth and Kevin would be battling it out for that dumb Universal Title, and I wouldn't be surprised if Chris didn't show up and save Kevin. Roman was going against Rusev, for the US Title, again. It always cracks me up, because half the time, the US Champion, isn't even American.

"Sasha, are you ready for today?" Becky asked me.

"I think so, I don't know, I'm kind of nervous."

"But, you always get nervous before a match."

I thought about that for a moment. I did, but why? I mean, Charlotte beat me at SummerSlam, but she's not a threat. I also had a back injury, so that was a disadvantage to me.

"Is Paige coming?" Becky looked up and asked.

"She should be," I answered as I picked out my outfit.

Once I was ready, I headed to the arena. I walked through crowds of people, and eventually ended up by the locker rooms.

"Sasha!" Chris yelled.

I was not in the mood to deal with him.

"What?" I scoffed.

"I just wanted to wish you good luck," he smirked.

"Yeah, right, what did Kevin put you up to?"

He just shrugged and walked off. Gosh, sometimes he really made me mad. He and Kevin recently became JeriKO, which was by far the dumbest name in the entire WWE Universe. Wow, all they did was combine their names together, anyone can do that.

"Seth, you'll be fine, I know you can win," I heard Charlotte tell Seth.

I heard him say something back to her. And then I felt a hand grab mine. I was spun around and I was face to face with Roman.

"Hey," I told him.

"Hey."

Then, Rusev came out of nowhere, but Roman just ignored him.

"You've for yourself a pretty girl, Reigns," Rusev smirked at me.

"Shut it, Rusev, you have Lana," Roman said towards him disgustedly and then he grabbed me and kissed me.

Sometimes, I felt bad for Roman. He just wanted Rusev gone, and here he was. Roman told me he loved me and I loved him. Sure, I lied about being pregnant, but, I only did it to keep him. I wasn't letting two years of a relationship down the drain.

It was finally time for my match. It was fair, but I didn't win. I'd get my rematch soon, but that didn't concern me.
