Author's Note- Hey there so I had this on my mind and was battling my inner thoughts of whether to post or not. So this is basicly a throw up story to see where this goes. So. Yeah. Hope you like it.

Something, Something Is Simple As Me Hearing Your Name
'Middle school this should be fun' John gazed up at the building as he saw many children rushing from their vehicles to the open doors of the school.
"John!" 'Oh god' Mickie screamed from down the street "JOHN!"
'Ok so let me introduce you guys. That girl running down the street that seems like she has had four cups of coffee is one half of my best friends, Mickie James. She is the happiest person in this town and I might have a small crush on her but thats besides the point'
"What up bro" 'Oh wow almost forgot. This guy that is currently draped over my shoulders is the second half of my best friend Randal 'Dumbass' Orton. You can call him Randy or Dumbass whichever you prefer' "Middle school is finally here" he said as he watched Michelle walk into the school "And Michelle has really grown into her size" Randy said as his eyes stayed on her small figure
"Put your eyes back in your head and wipe your mouth your making a river" Mickie said as she stood by John clutching the straps of her book bag
"Aw jealous James" Randy said as he turned his gaze on Mickie
"Like hell. I'm not jealous and certainly not of Michelle" Mickie scowled 'Mickie and Michelle aren't the best of friends as you can tell' she said as she rolled her eyes at his tactics
"I can tell you now. It's getting real" John said grabbing their attention as he gazed up at the school
"Yep" Mickie sigh "Sixth grade is finally here"
"And it's going to be hell" Randy said as they stood at the bottom of the steps
"Ok let's make a pact" Mickie said as she put her arm around each of their shoulders. "No matter what happens. We will always be best friends. No. Matter. What."
"Yeah"
"Definitely" they said as they each walked into the school
One Year Later
John sat in the back of the class phone in hand as he casually scrolled through his feed. He looked up at the last minute noticing half the class laughing at something Randy said. 'Figures' John turned away from the crowd as he sent Mickie a message.
Where are you? JC
Just got here. Woke up late. MJ
Figures. JC
Shut up Cena MJ
You love it 😏😏😏. JC
"Alright class take your seat" the woman said. And the class did so just as Mickie walked into the class "Ah Ms. James. Late as always" John looked up to see Mickie stumble into the classroom.
Mickie mumbled an I'm sorry towards her as she made a beeline to her and John's area. John pulled out her chair as she plopped herself in the vacant seat.
"What I miss" she said as she opened her notebook
"Nothing really just the occasional chatter" John said as he got his notebook out
"Oh well that's a given"
'Sorry bout that. Your probably wondering why we aren't speaking to Randy. Well he broke the pact. Yep left us high and dry. But I'll catch you guys up later. Teachers eyeballing us.'
"Mr. Cena Ms. James is there something you would like to share with the class"
"No, not really" John said speaking up for Mickie and himself
"Ok then I expect your eyes up here"
"Will do" John made a mock salut with his pencil. He started to write his subject in the top corner of his notebook only to see a note written in the space already.
Coming over tonight.
Idk have to ask my uncle.
John slid his notebook towards Mickie so she could read it while keeping his eyes up front trying not to draw attention to himself just as she slid the notebook back.
Please. They would understand. John looked out of the side of his eye to see Mickie making her signature puppy dog pout.
I'll ask him.
Yes!
But I doubt it.
Have faith mi compadre.
John smiled at her as he returned to righting down his notes.
Lunch
John and Mickie were seated near the back of the cafeteria right before the entrance to the kitchen area.
"Please John you have to come over"
"You know I would but-"
"But" Mickie sighed heavily "Come on John please"
"I don't know if I can. I've got to work in the shop tonight." he said as she ate her sandwich "And besides I'm just getting started, its officially my first job and I don't think he wants me to blow him off on the first day"
"Right" she said around a mouthful
"You enjoying yourself" John asked with a smile
"Yes very much. You know how my mom's pulled pork tastes"
"No way. You didn't tell me she made some"
"Damn. Me and my big mouth"
"Gimme me a bite" John said eyeing the other half of her sandwich
"No go away" she said moving her lunch away from his prying hands. John continued to reach for her lunch gaining the attention of two pompous girls
"Mickie did you steal John's food again" John cringed once her heard that voice "Figures, Piggy James strikes again" Mickie slowly placed her half eaten sandwich back into her container.
"Just keep walking Michelle" John said trying to defuse the situation
"Ah geek boyfriend sticking up for you" Michelle and Kelly laughed "Gross. A nerd and a whale dating. Now I've seen everything" she said as they walked off towards the guys table
'Ok so my school has a ton of assholes and a fair share of bitches two in particular. Michelle McCool, and Barbie 'Kelly' Blank. Yep. Michelle thinks she is all that but she isn't. The only reason she 'runs' the place is only because her dad is the principal and her mom is the Dean of Students. It pisses me off. Oh and Kelly well Kelly is just a tag along. I don't know why she hangs around Michelle so much. She is really nice person but when Michelle is around she changes into an obnoxious bitch. *sigh* Sorry I get carried away sometimes. Anyway now you know.'
"Mickie-"
"I'm ok John" she said forcing a smile "Really" she said as she closed the lid of her container
"Come on let's get out of here" John said she nodded her head as they stood up and moved to the library which was adjoined to the cafeteria.
'This is our little sanctuary. The library couch. When stuff gets heated or when we just want to hang out we come here.'
"You can't let them get to you" he said watching her bite her nails
"Yeah I know but-"
"But nothing your perfect. Don't let someone tell you other wise"
"Thanks John, you always know what to say" she said as she smiled at him sending chills up his spine.
'Ok this is bad. I can't have feelings for Mickie. Yeah I did before but I got over it. Besides I can't like my best friend... Can I? Uhh I hate this.'
"John you there?"
"Wait what?!"
"You kind of zoned out on me there. I didn't know I was boring you"
"Sorry. Your not boring me just thinking about stuff"
"Well it must have been something for you to zone out like that. Your usually so focused."
"It's nothing honest." He said trying to change the subject "Before I zoned out what were you talking about."
"Well you promise not to freak out on me."
"Promise"
"Nooo" she said looking at him expectingly
John rolled his eyes at her. As he crossed his heart with his finger and zipped his lips. "Happy"
"Yes. Yes I am." She said as she went back on her phone
"Well" John laughed
"Well what." John just looked at her "Oh that. I'mtryingoutforthecheersquad" she said so fast
"Wait what?"
"I'm trying out for the cheer squad" Mickie said 'Did you guys here that? My heart and the world just stopped.'
"Your what?"
"Ok this is when you go back to being zoned out."
"Oh no you don't. Your telling me you actually want to be apart of the shank squad" John laughed in disbelief gaining a giggle from somewhere in the room but it wasn't coming from Mickie
"No I just"
"Just what. Why would you want to hang out with them"
"Cause I want to fit in John ok" Mickie said as she readjusted her spot on the bean bag.
"That's it. That's why you want to join the squad"
"Yes. No. God John I just want to try something new" John nodded his head in understanding
"Ok you know I'm here for you" he said as they grew silent "So when are tryouts"
"You don't have to come out"
"Yeah but I'm coming anyway. So what time"
"4:00 after school"
"I'll be there" John smiled causing Mickie to grin. Just as the supervisor came in to say lunch is over.
"When your their you can't embarrass me" she said as she got up from the bean bag
"I make no promises"
"God I hate you" she rolled her eyes as she pushed the door from the library open
"No you don't you love me" 'Get a grip Cena' John looked over to see Mickie shivering from the cold "Here take my jacket"
"John you'll be cold"
"No I won't. I'm use to the cold" he said as he handed her his jacket
"You're right. I do love you" she said as she made a detour through the Upper School hallway.
"No you only love me for my jackets"
"True" she said as he tugged on her ponytail.
