WWE Academy

Chapter 32

TJ's POV

I'm almost positive that the journalist Renee has a crush on me, but I can't be too sure. I'm also thinking of asking her to the dance, the worst she could say is no.

"TJ!" Enzo called from down the hall.

Enzo had become one of my closest friends lately. He was one of the people here who took me in and actually tried to be friends with me. Brian Kendrick hadn't been accepted into this school yet, and I was hoping he wouldn't be, because he had some weird beef with me.

"Hey, Enz," I greeted the hyper blonde.

"So, who are you going with to the dance?" He asked.

"I was thinking of asking Renee Young, or not going at all."

Enzo gave me a look. "Now why would you do that when we could go as friends?"

I stared at him with a blank look. "Enz.."

"Listen, I don't want to go alone."

"Take your cousin."

He stared at the ground. "She already has an date."

"Who?"

"Cass, they got back together."

I closed my locker. "Okay, Enzo, how about this...no."

"Seriously?"

"Sorry, it's just, I'm not planning on going."

He shrugged and then walked away. I wasn't going to get to ask Renee, but oh well.

"Hey, TJ!" I heard another person call me name.

What can I say? I'm just popular.

"Rich!" I called back.

Rich Swann and I had been in Cruiserweight Classic together, he was one of my only friends there. He actually kept me calm when I was angry with Kendrick.

"What are you doing here?" I asked after he walked over.

"Scholarship, you?"

"The same reason."

We just chatted and he told me that Cedric Alexander and Tony Nese were also coming, they just hadn't arrived yet.

I walked back to my dorm, which I thought I had to myself, but when I walked in that wasn't the case.

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

"Ah, TJ Perkins, you haven't changed a bit. Still stuck up, snobby, and think you're better than every one else."

"I just asked you what you were doing here. How would you like it if you just walked home and a person you really hate is standing in your room?"

He stared at the ground. "I wouldn't, but that isn't the point. The point is, we're roommates and we're going to have to get along."

"Nope no way! I refuse to get along with you," I snapped and flopped on my bed.

Brian Kendrick and I getting along? That's funny.

The next day at lunch, Cedric was seeing how many orange slices he could fit in his mouth. Tony and Rich had bet on it, but I didn't. I wasn't really in the mood.

"Oh!" Tony yelled. "That's the tenth one, pay up Swann!"

Rich grumbled and handed Tony the money. Cedric spit out all the slices and drank his whole bottle of water.

"TJ, are you okay? You don't seem like yourself," Rich asked after the chaos died down.

"Uh, yeah, just tired."

I knew they wouldn't fall for that. These guys and I have known each other for too long. They can probably see right through me.

"TJ, what's really going on?" Cedric asked now.

"Fine, I'll tell you," I started, but I was soon interrupted by Kendrick walking over to our table.

"Oh, there's your problem right?" Tony whispered and I nodded.

"Hello fellow Cruiserweights," he announced.

"Kendrick," Rich mumbled.

"So, it seems I have found the table where I should sit."

"Um, no," Cedric interjected.

"Why not Alexander?"

Cedric shrugged. I didn't want Brian sitting here, but it didn't look good for the cruiserweights.

Cesaro's POV

I cannot believe Shane and Stephanie. They are making Sheamus and I become a tag team. I mean, Sheamus and I hate each other, so why would we become a team?

And with this whole Survivor Series thing that everyone was talking about, which were basically the best students at this school, and a few teachers. With Sheamus and I as a team, I don't know how it's going to all play out.

"And I just think that I should be the captain of the team, not those losers," I heard Sheamus complain from behind.

"And why do you think that, Sheamus?" I asked, slamming my locker shut.

"Because The New Day is a joke. They go out there in their little costumes, but they aren't worthy of the titles or being captains of that team!"

"Sheamus!" I heard Becky yell. "That is no way to behave to your team captains!"

Sheamus rolled his eyes and walked off to class. Let's be real here, Sheamus just doesn't get along with anyone. Not even Becky could talk some sense into him, and she's been his best friend since birth.

Triple H's class was so fun right now. All the teams were gathered in the ring for Survivor Series, except New Day.

"See, this is why they can't be our captains," Sheamus added again. "So, I think I should be your captain."

"You? Sheamus, you're worried about that when you should be worried about so much more," Enzo was now going to put in his opinion.

Sheamus stared at him.

"Like, the sun."

Cass raised his hand with a laugh, "How you doin?"

"Or looking in the mirror."

"Oh or uh, kids chasing after your Lucky Charms."

Even I laughed at that one.

"Or how about dying alone?"

After that one, Enzo was finished. The whole gym erupted into laughter, Enzo was by far the most comedic person in the class.

"You think that's funny? Well guess what, I'm leaving. I'm out," Sheamus said and started to head towards the exit, but New Day appeared just then.

Once that was over, the events were very simple. Everyone agreed to be on the team, except for Gallows and Ansderson, who went against New Day, and they won, but cheated of course.

After school I was meeting Alberto at the diner, of course. I was really starting to hate Alberto, he was kind of pissing me off lately.

I walked to the diner, I had blown off a date with Bayley for this loser. He better have something good to tell me or I was going to be very salty.

I waltzed into the diner, looking for the annoying Mexican that was my best friend a few moths ago. When I didn't see him, I started to worry. So I texted him, to make sure he was coming, and when I got a text back I was very angry.

He told me he made plans with Eva and forgot about me.

I texted Bayley to meet me at the diner, I didn't walk here for nothing.
