A New Paige

Against Orders

Paige -

I hit the punching bag vigorously. Pushing myself harder and harder. A pair of arms wrap around my waist and pulls me away from the punching bag.

"What are you doing?" I screech, "I need to train."

"For what, Paige? You're not wrestling tonight!" I swing my elbow backwards, connecting with my assaulters face. They release me and I whip around. Paul, my boss, was holding his nose. Shit.

"Sorry, I didn't know it was you!"

"It's fine, Paige. Go to your bus. I don't think you should come to work today."

"Alright, really though. I'm sorry." He just waves me off before walking away, still holding his nose.

"You sure know how to make an impression on people." I whip around, Natalya was standing there in a pink pair of shorts and a black crop top.

"I said sorry." I cross my arms over my chest, looking at Natalya. She smirks, shrugging her shoulders and slips past me. I watch as he enters the locker room. She reopens the door and throw my things at me.

"You might want that, since you won't be working today." Natalya smiles, shutting the door quickly.

I pick up my bag, throwing it over my shoulder and exit the building.

"Saraya! Where are you going? You have to sit in commentary with Michael and the others."

I turn to AJ. "Paul said to have the day off because I might've accidentally elbowed him in the face."

"You did what!?"

"Natalya was there, ask her. Oh, wait, she might make up a huge lie about the whole ordeal."

"You and Natalya just don't get along. I agree, she had no right to call you a chameleon but you guys are going to have to compete and travel with each other until one of you retires. And even then you'll have to go to events together!" I sigh and look towards the arena, Natalya was walking towards us with Paul.

"Speaking of the bitch incarnate." AJ laughs and turns around to face Natalya and Paul.

"Saraya, can you come with me to my office please? It's important."

"Yessir." I give a look to AJ but she takes my duffel bag and walks back to the arena with us.

"Well, Paige. We are gonna go against doctors - and Stephanie's - orders and we're allowing you to compete again. I've brought it up with Stephanie, she doesn't like it but has unwillingly agreed to give it a shot. You'll be going against Natalya on Friday and Saturday, alright?" I nod and look at Natalya, she had this smirk on her face that I just wanted to slap right off. "And Natalya, try not to hit her head. I mean it." Natalya nods, a serious look on her face. "Good, now the both of you. Go get ready." I get up and slip out the door, Natalya following closely behind.

"Paige?"

"Yes?"

"I'm sorry, about being rude to you earlier. I won't do anything to injure your head. Glad I'll be competing against you again."

"Same to you, Natalya." We shake hands and go separate ways. What a bunch of bull.
