Hello everyone,
Here is a new story for you guys. This is my first AU story.
I hope you enjoy just like the rest of my stories.
Chapter One:
Randy Orton and AJ have been best friends since their childhood. Randy will stand up to the bullies that would pick on her for her interests and looks. It all started in the first grade when a few of their classmates made fun of her glasses and love of comic books. They would throw either her comic or glasses to each other above her head. With AJ being always shorter than them it was easy. Randy being the new kid, transferred from his old school because of his parents' work, doesn't take kind to bullies. When he saw AJ cry while trying to get back her supplies, he intercepted one of the passes to give it back to her. Ever since that situation, they have been the best of friends. They are two complete opposite people, with Randy with a sports jock however that has never gotten in the way of their friendship.
"Do you think we will be okay being in different classes?" AJ questions him as she reads her comic book on her porch. Since the first grade, they have been in the same classes together. This year, their high school years, is the first time they will be in separate classes.
"AJ, we will be fine. We have gym, lunch, and we will go to school together just like always." He reassures her as she throws a football to his friend, John.
"Yeah, I've never seen a bond so close, without getting involved, than you two in your friendship; your friendship is solid." John reassures her in more.
Randy and AJ never had those romantic feelings for each other. They have tried once, but it felt like they were kissing their sibling. After that, they know nothing romantic will ever happen to them.
"Thanks guys, I'm just over thinking this change." She is still a bit worried about their first day of High School.
Randy knows her better than anyone and he knows this isn't over. She is still upset and worried for their first day. "AJ-" Randy throws the football back to John before walking towards her. "Nothing will change. You will always be my best friend. No one, not even when I date will be a match for you. Plus, my family will be upset if I lose you as a friend." He chuckles.
Their families have been close to one another since their friendship started. The members of each family treat each other as a close family.
AJ pushes him as she smiles. She knows that he can always say the right words to make her smile. "There we go. There is the smile we love to see." He pokes her in the shoulder.
"Stop it. Stop it, Randy." She giggles as he continues for a bit.
"Fine." He stops after a minute.
"See that is true friendship right there." John observes.
They met John in Junior High, Grade Seven. They had to pair up, in the same gender, for Badminton exercises. AJ, being the odd woman out with not enough girls in the class, John asks the teacher to have a group of three. John was the partner of Randy and saw the friendship that they have. The teacher accepted, which lead to them all become friends, when Randy told her what John did. He never got in the way of their friendship and never will. He knows how valuable those friends are with having one of his close friends move out of the state. He still keeps in contact with him, but it is not the same.
"You two are staying for dinner again?" She questions keeping up with their tradition.
"Of course, it is tradition. We have always have dinner at each other's houses once a week." Randy reminds her.
On certain days, starting from the week they met John, they would designate a day where they would all eat for dinner at one house. John has Wednesday, which is the day they met him. Randy got Monday and AJ got Friday. This actually helps their families to know that two out of the five days they don't have to cook for their child. Since they are all are the only child in the family, it is perfect for the parents; they have two nights off and I day to cook for all three of them.
"Tell me again, how did I get Friday?" AJ pretends that she still doesn't understand their concept of choosing the days.
"Again AJ, we picked out straws. Since we met John on Wednesday, it is fitting to have dinner at his house, so it came down to Monday and Friday. The largest stick gets Friday and you picked the stick." Randy explains once again.
"I get it, I've always have. I just like to irritate you a bit that's all." She grins.
"Oh you are going to get it. I'm going to tell my mom to cook fried fish with egg salad." He smirks knowing that AJ doesn't like egg salad; she doesn't like the look of it.
"Well, I will tell my mom to make a lot of vegetables and no meat. It is going to be a vegetarian dinner tonight." She knows that he wants to gain muscle for football the team, so he needs protein.
"You weren't dare to do that. You know I have to eat meat once a day for football tryouts." He is shocked a bit with them always teasing each other.
"If you are going to have egg salad on Monday, then I will have a vegetarian dinner tonight. You know my mom will be thrilled that I am eating more vegetables." AJ has never been a fan of any vegetables, even when she was a child. She would eat some once in a while, but not for ever meal all the time.
"Fine no egg salad, if you put meat back on tonight." He gives in knowing that he never wins against her.
"Well you are in luck, the both of you. My daddy is grilling some honey garlic steak, which I know is your favourite Randy." She smiles innocently while getting up.
"You plan this. You know that he is cooking that all this time. You use me to get rid of egg salad on my day." She nods. "I can't believe I fell for that again." He lightly smacks his head.
"I can't believe it either. You two always do this little argument every second Friday; Randy you always fall for it." John chuckles. "You just got played again by sweet, innocent AJ." He starts to laugh now.
"Shut it John." He warns him with being a bit embarrassed at his mistake.
"Come on John, let us set up the table to let Mr. Serious think about his mistake again." She laughs along with John to the backyard. Depending on the weather, they will have dinner in AJ's gazebo to feel the breeze and for fresh air.
Randy gets out of his embarrass state to see them leave him. "Hey guys, wait for me." He runs to catch up to them.
