June 2013
As Rebecca walked into the performance center for the first time, it was overwhelming to say the least. This is what she had worked for but she couldn't help but feel a little regretful and in over her head. She'd been out of the business for years and now to get back into it and have this opportunity that others who had been working for the years she was gone almost immediately, she was conflicted in her feelings.
She looked at the locker rooms and the practice rings, she examined the gym and then went to the craft service area, which is where all of the food would be available. She quickly made her coffee before making her way towards the practice rings to observe the classes that were in progress.
Looking around at all the pictures in the wall she wasn't aware of anything other than that moment and then next thing she knew as She rounded the corner she ran straight into the chest of one Colby Lopez and in the process of knocking into him the coffee in her hands fell to the floor and ricocheted up onto both of them.
"Seriously?" Colby questioned as he ran a hand over his white t-shirt
"I'm so sorry!" she apologized profusely and he looked down at her
"Relax" he said shaking his head "It's fine" he added and she let out a shaky breath
"Great first impression Becks" She said to herself with a nod "I really am sorry" she said
"You're the new signee huh?" he asked
"I'm guessing you've heard about me.." she shrugged
"Not really" he shook his head "All we knew is this new Irish chick was coming in soon and considering you're the only Irish person I've ran into.." he said with a shrug "literally" he added quickly and she let out a small laugh
"I'm sorry" she said once more and he shook his head again
"Stop apologizing" he said "You look just as ridiculous as me" he said motioning to her shirt that was just as stained now as his
"Well, this is going to be a fun few hours" she said
"You can go get a new shirt, they have them in the production office.. they are NXT shirts they give to all the new hires" he said and began to walk "Come on lucky charms" he called back to her and she looked around confused before running to catch up with him
"Lucky charms? I have a name" she said as he threw a shirt at her and picked one up for himself
"What is it?" he asked
"Rebecca.. Quin, Rebecca Quin" she said
"Yeah.. I think I'm gonna call you lucky charms for awhile" he nodded and began to walk out of the office
"Wait!" she said and he turned to face her "You didn't tell me your name" she said and he nodded with a smirk
"Colby, Colby Lopez" he said and she nodded and watched him walk away from
Colby walked through the practice room on his way out of the performance center to head home for the night. He saw Rebecca placing a few things in her bag before throwing it over her shoulder.
"You still owe me a new shirt lucky charms" He said and she looked over at him with a coy smile
"You still owe me a coffee Lopez" she said and he nodded with a smirk
"See ya tomorrow Rebecca" he said
