A/N: So, this is my first fan fiction I have ever written. I read it all the time, and I have decided to write my own. This is an AJPunk story, and before you think "Oh another AJPunk story that is probably the same as all the others" I want you to know that actually had to do a project in English class and decided to turn it into a story. Anywho, enough of me wasting your time with this authors note. Enjoy this fan fiction, and don't forget to review/follow/favorite, all that good jazz!

Disclaimer: I don't own the WWE or the wrestlers within the WWE, but if I did I wouldn't have to write fan fiction, I could just turn my ideas into story line's!

Nobody ever likes the first day of school and getting back into the routine of getting up at 6 o'clock in the morning. For April Mendez, that is the exact opposite of how she feels. School is her escape from home life. She has always had a hard life. Her dad is a recovering drug addict who used to beat her mom. Her mom always tried to get him to stop, but he was always high on drugs and her begging made him want to hit her harder.

One day AJ walked in on him beating her mom and she ran away to her best friend Kaitlyn's house. When she went home her dad was gone and her mom was crying in the bathroom. Ever since that day, AJ has been afraid her father was going to start beating her but he never laid a finger on her. Two weeks after the incident, her dad decided he should get clean and went to rehab. He is pretty much clean now, but AJ still worries that he is going to have a relapse.

Two doors down from her house, AJ saw a moving truck and the 'for sale' sign taken down at the same house. She guessed someone was moving in. 'I hope they have kids my age' she thought. The house is right next door to two of her best friend's, the Bella Twins. She stops to wait for them, and as she is waiting she sees a boy who looked to be about her age or older standing there. He has long hair, a lip piercing, tongue piercing, and pierced ears. From what she can tell he has a couple of tattoos covering his arms and knuckles. He is arguing with what looks to be his mom. She isn't sure what about, because she gets interrupted by Brie and Nikki coming out of their house.

"Hey AJ. How are you today?" Nikki asked, fully aware that she was staring at the new neighbor.

"Fine. Finally sold that house did they?" AJ responded distractedly.

"Yeah they did. Can you believe it?" Brie said.

"No I can't." AJ said.

"Alright, we don't wanna be late. C'mon AJ, let's get to school." Nikki says. She and Brie start walking away. AJ is still just standing there.

"AJ? You comin' or what?"

"Huh what? Oh yeah, let's go." AJ says trying to brush off that she was staring at the new neighbor. Brie and Nikki share a look that says 'someone has a crush on the newbie already'.

As they are walking to school a car passes by and they all see the guy that was next door driving. He looks at them all but keeps his eyes on AJ. He smiles then drives past them. Nikki and Brie turn and look at an embarrassed AJ.

"Looks like you aren't the only one who can't keep their eyes to themselves!" Nikki instigates, her and Brie almost double over from laughter.

"Shut up! He wasn't staring at me." 'Even though I know he was' AJ thinks.

"Sure he wasn't. Just like it isn't cold in Antarctica." Brie says.

"Whatever. Let's just go to school."

They get to school and they see the guy from earlier in the office. They presume he must be a new student. He turns and sees them. He smiles at AJ, and this time she smiles back. He goes back to his papers and AJ goes back to walking.

They get to their lockers and see Kaitlyn and Aria waiting for them.

"Hey guys!" Kaitlyn squeals.

"Hey!" The three answer in unison.

"Hey AJ, did you see that guy in the office? The one with the long hair?"

"Yeah. Actually he just moved in next door to them." AJ says pointing at the Bella's.

"Yeah, and she kept gawking at him until we pulled her along with us!" Says Nikki.

"I was not gawking!" AJ retorts. 'Well maybe just a little! But how can I help myself when someone who looks like that is standing 20 feet away from me?!' AJ thought.

"Sure you weren't! Just like you didn't where a purple shirt to school today?" Nikki says, pointing at her shirt that was indeed purple.

"Okay, maybe I did stare a little, but I did not gawk!" AJ defends.

"Whatever helps you sleep at night." Nikki responds. AJ was about to respond, but the bell rang.

"You got lucky this time! Anyway, have a good class everyone! I gotta get to English before I get written up again! Bye!" AJ said to everyone.

"Bye!" They all said in unison.

Little did AJ know, there was a new student in her English class named Phil.
