The Teen Intern

Desiree's Interning for Who?

Chapter 1: Desiree's Interning For Who?

Desiree Paige was awakened by a ring on her cell phone. This was the absolute number one thing that she hated the most -having her beauty sleep interrupted.

She moved the bangs out of her face and sleepily, she patted around her nightstand in search of her phone. When she finally found it, she urgently grabbed it and answered the call.

"Hello." She answered in a sleepy tone. Desiree had no intentions of putting an act for anyone. First, it was Monday and second, summer had just begun. One thing that she was looking forward to was sleeping in the entire summer.

Like a bolt of lighting-she was wide awake when she heard the voice of Stephanie McMahon on the other line.

"I won the contest?" Desiree asked her with her hand covering her mouth. She was absolutely speechless.

The contest that Desiree was referring to was the contest that she had entered in Feburary. She had submitted an essay on why she should be allowed to be an intern for a WWE Superstar(s). Desiree never thought that she would win; she was competing against a college student that would kill for this internship. Being only eighteen years old and a major WWE fan, she is happy that she won.

"Thank you so much! I'll be right there today!" she informed Stephanie in a hyped up tone before hanging up.

Desiree led out a shriek of joy out of her system as she bounced off the bed and up to her two feet.

"Des", you're up already?"

Desiree danced around in place over the exciting news she had received as she made eye contact with her mother.

"Guess what? I got the WWE internship!" Desiree squealed once again, which made her mother look at her weirdly creeped out.

Des was someone that should be excited over make-up, shopping, boys, clothes, shoes. Even though she dressed pretty tomboyish, she didn't care about the feminine accessories, she cared about wrestling. Her goal one day is to be employed within the WWE management or even be a creative writer.

"Congratulations Des, I knew how much you wanted it!" her mom said as she gave her a hug. "Do you know who you're interning for?"

"It would be so cool if it were someone like The Usos or 3MB or even The Shield would be cool!" she imagined the thought of being able to intern for one of them, following their every single movement like some weirdo.

"Hopefully, you'll get what you want? But, don't get your hopes up. It could be someone that's not really used in the WWE. They wouldn't want to trust a eighteen year old with a top WWE talent right?" her mother tried to make her think in a realistic way.

Desiree nodded at her mom. She knew that with which ever WWE talent she gets to intern for that she would have to keep it cool not freaky. Even though, she considers herself one of them. But, she wouldn't consider herself to be freaky.

"I know not to get my hopes up." Desiree gave a small smile to her mom.

"Good. Now make your bed." her mom ordered as Des followed her mother's point, which was directed to her messed up bed.

Desiree rolled her eyes mockingly and did with her mother told her to do.

"Are you sure that you don't want to say goodbye to your father?" her mom asked her one last time before they drive to the arena where RAW was being held this evening.

"Nah, I don't want to say anything to him." Des responded in a monotone voice.

Desiree and her father haven't always had a wonderful relationship. These were two different people, who but heads all the time. Her father wasn't supportive of her wishes of wanting to work within the WWE when she was older. Her father believed that Chris should have done something that was going to put money in the table. Des wants to follow her dreams and that has caused a strain in her relationship with her dad.

With Chris's response, they drove off to the arena where RAW was being held at. It didn't take so long, since they already lived in Seattle, Washington. Once they made it to their destination, they found Stephanie McMahon waiting for them backstage.

"I assume that you're Desiree Paige?" Stephanie took an obvious guess as she reached to shake Des hand.

"In a flash." she told her with a big grin formed on her face.

"I'm her mother Lyric Paige." her mom introduced herself to Stephanie.

"We have read your daughter's submission several times. She answered all the questions thoroughly and it's unbelievable that she's only eighteen years old. But, this is remarkable and this is a huge opportunity for her, we trust her with top talent here." Stephanie explained.

Desiree's eyes widened when she said 'top talent'. They were actually going to trust her with top talent. This must have been a dream. She hoped it was someone that she liked and not someone that she hated.

"You're going to trust me? You're going to trust me with top talent?" Desiree asked her in awe and amazement.

Stephanie's smile on her face got bigger at the excitement of this young female standing right in front of her. It is a vibe that hasn't been here in a while. "Yes, I trust you enough with the top talent." she confirmed to her.

"Stephanie, I just hope that you protect my little girl. If anything were to happen to her.

"Miss Paige, no need to worry." Stephanie reassured her. "Desiree is such a light here and they'll like her. And if she needs anything at all, she can always come to me."

Lyric nodded because she liked what she was hearing. She then turned her attention to her daughter and gave her a giant hug. "I have to leave you, precious. Knock them dead." was the advice she gave her daughter before leaving.

Desiree looked left and right and left again before looking at Stephanie once again. "Desiree, the significance of this internship is to give the people that want to pursue any career in professional wrestling; no matter if it's being a wrestler or even working in the business part of the company, an idea of what you have to go through in order to make that happen. It's all the same: you're goal is to either work in the business part of the company or use your abilities as a creative writer right?" Stephanie asked her.

Desiree nodded. "Yeah, this is it." she gave a smile.

"Well, letting you see the daily lives of a WWE Superstar or Diva will help you have the idea of what you're getting yourself into. You'll get to know the character of the talent you're interning for and what makes them tick. Who knows, you could one day be writing a storyline for them or negotiating a deal for them." Stephanie tried to make her think positive.

"Who am I interning for? I'm excited!" Des was jumping up and down with gripping to her laptop and spiral notebooks that she carried with her.

Stephanie happily sighed. "Well... come out boys."

Desiree's eyes widened when Stephanie said 'boys'. There was more than one and her heart was beating when she heard the sound of boots walking towards them. It sounded like more than one person. Desiree couldn't hold emotions and let out a fan girl scream when she was standing in the presence of...

The Shield.
