Summary: Maryse and Ted Dibiase lived in two different worlds; she was the popular cheerleader and he was the rebellious troublemaker. They had nothing in common - or so it would seem. What happens when the head cheerleader breaks all her own rules just to be with the school rebel?
A/N: I know, I'm getting in way over my head, but I really wanted to start this story. I had a poll up and only one person got the chance to vote. I decided I really wanted to do this plot, so I'm going to. I will try and keep up with my other stories.
"California girls, we're unforgettable…"
Once I heard my ringtone play, my eyes quickly shifted off of the road momentarily to my iPhone. I reached over to my phone, gazing down at the screen to see who was calling me. "Rosa." I sighed aloud as I accepted the call and raised my phone to my ear. Rosa was my newest friend – to say the least; we weren't really friends, at least I wouldn't call her a friend. She was one of those girls who were desperate to be popular and noticed. Rosa tried out for cheerleading and didn't make it, due to her clumsiness; although she still seemed determined to be popular. That's why she calls me constantly – before, during and after school. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but if you want to be popular at McMahon high, I'm the girl to impress.
"Rosa, bonjour." I greeted with fake enthusiasm as I turned into the school's parking lot in my cherry colored Porsche Carrera GT. Everyone at McMahon high were rich and spoilt or else they were really smart, therefore receiving a scholarship; which strangely never really happened. Most children in California didn't need brains, they only needed the money and they'd get along fine. Even though everyone here was rich, there were still social cliques.
"Maryse!" Rosa exclaimed in excitement, which I couldn't help but roll my eyes at. "How are you? Are you at school yet? If you are we should meet up before class, I can't wait to see what you're wearing! I know you're probably looking as stunning as ever!" Rosa spoke quickly, which annoyed me even more. I couldn't understand a damn thing this girl said; not to mention she was beyond over the top. All she does is compliment me and suck up to me – which just turned me off even more. A girl can only handle so much attention.
"I've just parked into the parking lot. Why don't I just meet you in homeroom?" I suggested as kindly as possible. I wanted to avoid Rosa as much as I can. Luckily for me, I only had Homeroom and P.E with her, all of which I didn't have today. Once Rosa agreed to meet me in homeroom, I didn't hesitate to hang up on her. I turned my ignition off and fell back into my leather seat. I let out a loud groan. "This girl will be the death of me." I muttered to myself.
"You know, talking to yourself is the first sign of insanity." Mike 'The Miz' Mizanin explained to me. I looked up to see him and John Morrison standing beside my car smirking at me. Mike has had a crush on me for quite a few months, although he always tried too hard, so I didn't bother. When he wanted to be, Mike could actually be a pretty good friend – though 95 % of the time he was an egotistical pervert. I didn't bother to take a second glance at the two before I let out a loud sigh. "Oh don't be like that, Ryse, didn't you miss me over the weekend?"
I let out a loud scoff before shaking my head momentarily. "You know stalking is a criminal offence." I stated sarcastically, which caused Mike to grin. I pushed my door open with a lot of power, knowing that Mike was standing beside it. Mike let out a cry of pain. "Opps, sorry, didn't see you there." I said innocently as I slid out of the car, my phone and keys in hand. I saw Mike grit his teeth and I just sent him a sweet smile. "Love to stay and chat boys, but I've got to get ready for class. Au revior." I give them both a small wave before locking my car and making my way to the main doors.
As I pushed the doors open, I heard a deep voice shout "Heads up!" causing me to duck immediately. Moments later a football fly over my head and through the main doors. I turned my body around to see who the thrower was, instead I noticed Randy Orton running towards me. I couldn't help but bit on my bottom lip when I saw he was shirtless. "Sorry about that Maryse." Randy said as he approached me. "It seems as if Cena is having an off day, and forgot how to throw properly." Randy apologized, raising his tone towards the end of the sentence, jerking his head behind slightly.
I let out a small laugh. "Its fine, it's just lucky I have great reflexes." I say, trying to keep my eyes on his face. When I first saw Randy, I had the biggest crush on him; I mean, you just have to take one glance at him and you'd probably fall in love with him. Although over time we just became friends – despite that, I can't help but check him out when I cheer for him or at practices; or even at moments like this. Randy flashed me a smirk. "Well, I've got to go. Have to go meet some of the other girls." Randy was easily the hottest guy in school and when he smirked like that, you couldn't help but feel weak in the knees. "Bye Randy." I say with a small wave.
I turned and began walking towards my locker, although I could still feel Randy's eyes on me. I couldn't help but smile at that. Once I made it to my locker, I noticed Brie and Nikki; my two best friends. Honestly they were the only two I was close to. I was friendly with Alicia, Layla and Michelle, although not as close as I was with Brie and Nikki. Mainly because the three of us grew up together, our parents being really close. "Hey Brie, Nikki." I greeted with a smile as I approached them.
"Ryse!" they exclaimed in unison, both giving me a hug. "We didn't see you at all over the weekend, where were you?" Brie was the first to speak, although Nikki nodded in agreement to Brie's statement.
"It was my mum's birthday Saturday and she had this big party with all these relatives, which ended up ending at 4 am." I explained, to which the twins nodded with a small smile. "It was boring, but Sunday I just stayed in and spent some time with my little cousins." I told the twins, opening my locker. My locker was in the middle of both twins, so before we knew it, we were onto a new topic.
"Oh my gosh, Ryse, you know Beth?" Nikki questioned. I think she was referring to the really muscular girl on the softball team. I nodded my head and glanced at her curiously. "Well, you know Cody Rhodes?" I had to think for a moment. His name sounded really familiar, but I couldn't match the name with the face. I titled my head to the side slightly. "The guy who's best friends with Ted Dibiase? You know - the guy who's in our Science, English, Maths and P.E class?" I pursed my lips to the side trying to figure out who Nikki was talking about. Nikki let out a frustrated sigh, shaking her head. "The guy who's always late for those classes."Oh, now she was making more sense. I raised my head in realization before nodding my head. "Well apparently Beth has a big crush on Cody."
This caused both Brie and I to start laughing uncontrollable. "That's hilarious." I said in between laughs. Brie had to clutch onto my shoulder to stand up properly. "She's like, bigger than him!" I point out, causing Nikki to start laughing as well. We were all in hysterics. Don't get me wrong, Cody's tall and has a great body, but Beth is like twice his size; three times most of the cheerleaders' size. Not to mention she was as intimidating as Frankenstein itself.
"What's a so funny guys?" Rosa piped in, causing me to let out an almost inaudible groan. Nikki had to fill Rosa in – who also found it hilarious. "That is hilarious." Rosa pointed out. There was a moment of silence before I shut my locker, holding my Science books. "Wow Maryse, you do look great." Rosa complimented. I send her the best fake smile I could. I glanced over at Brie and Nikki who rolled their eyes. "Well we should go to homeroom." Rosa suggested. I nodded and exchanged my goodbyes to the girls. As Rosa and I walked to homeroom, she was talking about god knows what; I began to lose interest as soon as she opened her mouth.
"What do you mean Beth Phoenix has a crush on you?" I asked in disbelief as Cody and I walk into the corridor. The bell had already ringed about 4 minutes ago, but I honestly couldn't care less. Cody had caught up with me about 10 seconds ago and was trying to explain to me that Beth Phoenix - the tallest and strongest girl in the school, had a big crush on him. "Cody, man, I hate to break it to you, but I don't think it's true. She's bigger than you." I say, trying to hold in a chuckle.
Cody rolls his eyes. "Why does everyone keep saying that?" Cody muttered in aggravation. "Because it's true?" I point out as we reach our lockers. I hear Cody let out a loud sigh. "Anyway." He says, completely ignoring my comment. "I'm telling you the truth. She has a major crush on me. I mean, I can't really blame her – because c'mon man, look at me." Cody states with a grin on his face. I turn to him and furrow my eyes at him. "See! I'm like a god or something. I knew she had a thing for me. I mean, whenever I'm in the cafeteria line, she's always staring at me and licking her lips." Cody shuttered slightly.
I let out an inaudible chuckle. "You were probably standing in front of the energy drinks." I suggest, causing Cody to glare to me.
"Whatever. You wouldn't understand anyway." Cody said in a matter-of-factly tone. I shoot in an 'oh really' look. "You wanna know why?" Cody questions. I roll my eyes. I knew exactly where this was going. "Because you haven't had a girlfriend in like, two months." Cody said with a loud 'hah' at the end of his sentence.
I turn to him. "You may be right." Cody bows his head at me in an accomplished way. "But that doesn't mean I don't get any." I say with a smirk as I close my locker.
"Brie?"
"Here."
"Nikki?"
"Yes."
"John?"
"Huh? Oh yeah, here."
"Ted?" The teacher called. The whole classes' eyes shifted around the room. I on the other hand was texting Alicia under the table, hoping the teacher wouldn't catch me. "Anyone know where Ted is?" The teacher asked the class. This caused me to look up. I glanced around the room and let out small scoff. Of course Dibiase wouldn't be here. He's too busy trying to keep up his bad boy reputation. He'll probably show up half way through class. "Alright then-" The teacher was cut off by two figures walking through the door way.
Right on cue, there stood Ted Dibiase and Cody Rhodes.
