"Oh, my god. I can't believe it! You got it! You really got it! This must be like a dream come true," said my best friend Jennifer. And she was right. This internship was all I had been thinking about for months. I put my heart and soul into the application and it had been hovering over my head for weeks. Though now that I had it I just couldn't stop thinking of all the bad things that could possibly come of this no matter how small. I was in shock but not from excitement like the two of them thought as they looked at me but from fear. I never thought that anything could scare as much as realizing one of my biggest dreams but I can't let them know that now can I.

Jenni was tugging on my limp arm and I was motionless, not to mention speechless. Then, I turned my head to look at her. Her long dark hair bouncing along with the rest of her body. She was wearing her tennis uniform and you could clearly see the muscles on her petite arms and legs and my arm was starting to get sore from the tugging I was receiving.

So I pushed her off and said, "Girl, do I look like a rag doll to you?"

She quickly let go of my arm and said smartly, "Well that all depends on who you ask."

"Well," said the middle-aged man standing in front of us, "What do you say?"

"I say that I need a couple of days to think this over." I said quickly shifting my attention from Jennifer to him.

"Fine," he said with a hint of annoyance in his voice. "One week, seven days, that's it. Then you make your decision." Then he handed me his card turned and walked away.

"See ya, Shane O'Mac," I yelled after him. He stopped and turned with a smirk his face waved goodbye and continued walking. We watched as he got into the limo in the faculty parking lot at Franklin High School and drove off. I looked down at the card in my hand, it read:

Shane McMahon

WWE

Office #- 757-569-3241

Cell #- 241-385-6598

"What in the hell is wrong with you. 'I need a few days to think.' This is your dream. Anyone who's ever talked to you knows that Michelle. You have loved everything about the WWE for about four years ever since 7th grade." Jenni stood there with the same smart ass smile on her face she always does when she knows she has me beat.

The thoughts buzzing through my head were giving me a headache. I started to rub my head with my left hand. Then I pushed my short brunette hair out of my face and started walking back to the school. Jenni rushed to catch up.

"You sure you don't wanna finish?" She questioned me.

I stopped and turned and looked at the tennis courts then twisted the racket in my right hand as I said, "You were beating me before, but now my head's not even in it. You'll just end up defeating me either way."

She started walking to the school and said coolly, "You're right. Save yourself from the humiliation. Besides I thought you had a few screws loose before but now I think I need to make you an appointment at the funny farm." We both laughed as we walked into the third hall of our school to get our stuff from our lockers to leave. It was late September and still fairly warm so I thought it would be okay to wear my gray sweat shorts from Brew Thru and my black spaghetti strap shirt with the outline of a playboy bunny in rhinestones. Though now I felt like it was mid-December and I was outside in a bikini. I was frozen with shock and walking like a zombie.

The next day at school was a nightmare. Apparently, telling Tiffany Musselman about what happened the day before was a gigantic mistake. By lunchtime the entire student body knew of the decision I had to make and of the ridiculous request for more time because it was common knowledge that I was in fact in love with wrestling or at least obsessed with it.

"I wish Bianca were here to help with this craziness. I mean, where is your scary black bitch when you need her?" Jennifer looked at me and laughed as if I were seriously questioning what I already knew.

Bianca was in Japan as we all knew. She was obsessed with a guy that was let's say he was thought to be out of her league because he was Japanese, a rock star and 31. That means he is 14- years older than she is. His name being Die and he being a guitarist in the band Dir en Grey. She is in Japan on tour with them and has been for six weeks. Needless to say we miss her. She met Die while he and his band were traveling in the States and it was an instant love connection. Though, it is hard not to instantly love Bianca, she is sweet yet pure evil so we couldn't blame him for falling for her. Yes and we know creepy and scary, but completely legal in Japan. So, he invited her on the tour and even offered to get her a tutor so she wouldn't fall behind in school.

"She's gonna be back soon but not soon enough to help you with your decision about whether to take this internship or not."

Jenni sat there looking at me as if she wanted me to decide right then and there which I couldn't there was still too much to consider but I wasn't going to leave her hanging I mean she is one of my two best friends so I said, "Well I'm still not sure but my answer is leaning towards yes." She made a squealing sound and hugged me which by Jennifer's standards means that she is really happy because she is one of those people who don't like to be touched OR ELSE.

"Hey, Michelle are the rumors true? Did you get an internship with the WWE and with that obviously a chance to meet all of the superstars, including someone like John Cena?" asked Heather Dann. She has been my friend since before kindergarten so I felt obligated to tell her the truth but I was really not in the mood to hear the speech that everyone, who had asked me that question, gave me. I had also forgotten how many girls in my school were in love with John Cena even though they didn't watch wrestling.

So I went with the short version and hoped that it would end well, "Well, yes I did get an internship but I am not sure if I am going to take it. I mean it's not like it would be the best way to spend the next couple of months and I would have to get a tutor to travel with me and I just don't think that that would be in my best interest school wise. So I am still thinking about."

She looked at me for awhile as if trying to figure out what the hell I had been thinking and I was praying that I could finish lunch off in peace even though I wasn't eating anything and not have to go through a million more questions about how crazy could I be. She gave a few pleasantries, smiled, and was on her way. Thank god I thought. At least someone is nice enough not to put me through the ringer over this stupid internship. Though, peace was what I asked from everyone else I still couldn't give it to myself. The next couple of days were the same everyone wanting updates on my decision but no one ever gave me enough peace to think. So I was more confused than ever and there was no end in sight. My phone just kept ringing and ringing all weekend.

It all got very interesting on the third day though. My mom, step-dad, step-mom, and dad were all waiting in the living room of my mom's house when I got home from Jennifer's after three hours at a band competition and it was only 4:00 on Sunday afternoon.

"Oh, God!" I said as I entered the living room looking at their faces knowing that the talk I had been putting off was finally an inevitable occurrence of the next few moments.

"Michelle," my mom started in her disappointed tone that always gets me feeling guilty, "we need to talk about this situation."

"What situation?" I replied trying not to notice the look in her eye that said she was not okay with the internship and that if I took it she would disown me.

"You know what situation! The internship that that man offered you! You have been sulking for three days and have yet to inform any of us of your decision!" She ranted ferociously and turned to my dad for support in her outrage but all she saw was a look of compassion and understanding for me.

"Luresa, there is no reason to be so hostile. It is a good offer. She could learn a lot and we both know that she probably wants to do this more than anything else in the world. It is her decision and I stand by what she decides and that is all I am here to say." My dad ending gracefully looked at the look of bewilderment on my mom's face as she realized that she and Bobby were alone in their twisted desire to keep me in this hick town in Virginia.

"Now, wait just a minute," Bobby who had been quiet up till now finally chimed in, "Michelle is Luresa's daughter too and she should have her say in what her daughter does and does not do."

"She tried that with Tiffany and looked what happened there. She got pregnant at age 16 and all I want to do is do a job that could earn me some cash and look really good on my college application." I at last had said what I wanted to say and I really didn't even think about it. But I knew that after the words college and application came out of my mouth my mom would fall head over heels for the idea.

"Does this mean that you are going to take the internship?" My mom questioned.

"I am still not sure but right now I am leaning towards a yes." And with that I went up to my room and five minutes later I heard my dad and step-mom leave.

Finally, a little peace for myself and now all I have to do is figure out what I am going to do within the next four days. That's just peachy. I really wish Bianca were here. She always had a knack for bringing your true desires to the surface and that's the kind of help I could use right now.

The next three days are a blur but you know never a moment's peace for me. The questions never stopped and I never gave a straight answer. Then along comes day seven the day of my decision and I think I have the right way to go.

"So, Michelle d-day huh?" Jenni trying to spark a laugh from me at her attempt at a joke but I wasn't biting today at least not right now.

"Yea and don't think that I still have nothing to think about I'm still confused which means my answer is going to be no."

I said looking at the disappointed look on Jenni's face as I blurted out that dreadful sentence. Then suddenly out of the silence that followed my words came something I'd been praying for for a week.

"Acnaib's back!!!!" We turned to see the face of the missing one third of our trio.

Bianca was standing there looking at us with a huge smile on her face arms wide waiting for us to get up and hug her which we did within seconds of seeing her.

The happiness that flowed through the three of us is transcendent. I don't think three friends have ever been closer. We were close enough that Bianca wrote a story called Biocide featuring the three of us as main characters. I am Ellehcim, the Goddess of Death. I rule over the Land of Death. Acnaib as you can guess is her character and my daughter. She is the Goddess of Negativity and my right hand man. Jenni is Innej the actual main character and the general of my army. The story centers around Innej trying to figure out whether she can destroy in good conscious or not. We all have our perfect mates in the story, too. Innej being with Domao, Acnaib being with Iad, and me with Anec.

The furious whirl wind of a conversation that transpired in the next few minutes came to a screeching halt when I told Bianca that I got an internship with the WWE and I could meet all of my favorite superstars but I still wasn't taking it.

"You must have lost your mind. I mean wrestling is the one thing that gets that little giggle noise out of you that makes you sound like a school girl. You know the one where you have that wacky smile and a laugh as if you were high on Jenni's rocks." Bianca started in and I knew she wasn't letting up. She was right that was the laugh I made even though Jenni really doesn't get high on rocks and it's just a phrase we use when we want to express something I really didn't feel like arguing with her.

"Fine I understand that but Bianca…. one I am a school girl and two do you have any idea how lonely I am going to be without you and Jenni and the fact that I am completely psycho might not go over that well." I thought I finally had her until she played the Die card.

"Michelle, how do you think I felt when Die asked me to move to Japan with him? I was scared and knew I'd miss you two like crazy but I did it because it was an adventure that I didn't want to miss out on and I think the only thing you have to ask yourself is do you want to miss out on this." Bianca had a point plus the hugest smile on her face and seeing her again gave me much needed perspective but I knew what I had to do.

"Don't go trying to convince her to go!" I turned to see Alec approaching us. The 411 on Alec is, he's the new guy in school this year and amazingly cute and one of our best guy friends. Heather tried snagging him into being her boyfriend but he declined that earned him big points with us.

"What you don't want me to go either?" I looked at him from Mrs. Gray's room.

"No, I want you to stay here with me." He came up to me and wrapped his arms around me, lifting me from the ground and carrying me from the other two into the hallway.

"If you do go…" We were away from the group now but Alec was still whispering, "Tell those wrestlers that you're my girl and they better not get any bright ideas."

"Ha-ha, very funny Alec. What you gonna…" My sentence was interrupted by Alec kissing me. "You're serious, aren't you?" I looked at Alec as he pulled away from me.

"I thought you would have figured it out by now." We laughed and walked down the hallway hand in hand. This complicated things again.

Later that afternoon after I got home I had Bianca and Jenni on three-way trying to figure out this mess. I put the phone down and turned on the speakerphone so I could finish folding the laundry.

"So, you and Alec that's a new development, right?" Bianca was questioning her time in Japan leaving her behind the curve.

"Yes, completely new. I can't believe this is happening the day that I have to make my decision. It's so messed up." I throw the shirt that was giving me trouble folding it on the bed.

It was Thursday afternoon and the deadline was up Shane would be at the house any minute wanting my answer. It was ten minutes after five and I was starting to get nervous about my decision again.

Finally he arrived. I walked outside to greet him and the second he got out of the car he asked, "What did you decide?"

I sighed not wanting to answer, "I decided that this is the perfect opportunity for me and it would be great." You could see in his eyes he was disappointed but he didn't know that I'm that predictable, "I'm going. You can count me in. I wouldn't miss this for the world."

He laughed and told me that he would pick me up Saturday morning and we were going to go to the airport to go to Houston for the pay-per-view. I would see Kane, Randy Orton, Candice Michelle and everyone's favorite John Cena just to name a few. Then he reminded me that the internship was for 4 months and to pack for 4 months he obviously didn't know about my packing problem either. He got in his car and backed out of the driveway. I started to giggle hysterically and I was really happy. That night was the best night's sleep I had had in a week. Hopefully, it will stay that way. Hopefully…
