Ch. 1 From Humble Beginnings

"Isn't it over yet?" Jen groaned, high school graduation was taking forever.

"Nope, we're still in the D's." Matt sighed, they were all seniors.

"Kevin, Sarah." The principal called up more names for them to get their diplomas.

"Yea, Kevin, Sarah!" Jen shouted, but so did somebody else. She turned around and saw her friend behind her, Cliff. All of them had gone through high school together and now were all graduating. Jen turned back around as Kevin and Sarah came to sit down.

"Look, we graduated and you didn't." Kevin boasted to his long time friend Matt. Kevin and Matt were almost like knit brothers, they had a lot alike and always teased each other.

"That's because I have a W last name." Matt sneered jokingly.

"Way to go Sarah." Jen smiled to her best friend. Sarah and Jen had met freshman year, and never regretted it. If there was ever a definition of best friends, indeed they were it.

"Thanks, you'll be going up soon." Sarah sat back down, in front of Cliff.

"I knew you could do it." He patted Sarah's shoulder.

"Hey Cliff, where'd you come from?" Sarah turned around.

"Meh, you know me." Cliff just shrugged. Cliff was always the outgoing one, though he always had something to say and an opinion to express, he was sometimes quiet.

"Oh come on, hurry up!" Jen began to fidget again.

"What's with you?" Cliff smirked, amused with the youngest ones actions. Jen was the youngest of them, but she was proud of it. She believed that youth sometimes was an advantage.

"It's almost 8, I'm gonna miss SmackDown!" Jen complained.

"Didn't your dad say he would record it?" Sarah pointed out.

"Yea, but I don't think Mike taught him how to work the VCR with the DirecTV player." Jen replied. Mike was Jen's younger brother, he was a freshman at the same high school.

"Don't worry, it's just one night." Matt butted into the conversation. "Hey look fast, he's gonna call up the F's soon." Kevin said to Jen. As the ceremony went on, soon Jen, Matt, Cliff and everyone else had gotten their diplomas. It was long past 9 and Jen realized that there was no point in rushing back home now, SmackDown was practically over.

"Well, it's all over." Matt said as the janitors and volunteers cleaned up the fold up chairs.

"Yea, SmackDown just ended." Jen looked at her Lakers watch.

"Yes, that, but we mean school." Sarah pointed out.

"I know." Jen laughed. Jen was a huge wrestling fan, and she was absolutely mad about Chris Jericho. Her dream was to become a WWE superstar and be his tag team partner.

"Now the real work begins." Kevin said. He wanted to join the Navy, he loved the military and all that kind of stuff, and though war was a possibility, it was still his dream to enlist.

"Not for me, now the fun begins." Cliff laughed. Cliff was a natural born actor, he had already been offered a few jobs, but his goal was to preform on Broadway in New York. But it was a long ways off since they lived in L.A., so Hollywood was naturally better for him.

"You have no idea how much work is cut out for me." Sarah forced a laugh, and she had a good reason to. She wanted to become a doctor and though she knew what work lay ahead for her in the future, she was not about to quit now.

"I think I'll just get a job, screw collage." Matt smiled.

"Amen brother." Jen and Cliff slapped high fives. As the night went on, the parents decided to take their children home, though they were no longer children now, they were adults. "Hey Sarah!" Jen called as she started to leave with her dad. Sarah turned and Jen ran over. They stood for a while staring at each other before Jen finally spoke up. "So, this is it?"

"Maybe." Sarah understood what she meant. They may never see each other again.

"I don't want this to be good by." Jen lowered her head.

"Hey, it's not. But we just have separate paths with long roads ahead. Who knows, they may cross roads." Sarah shrugged. "I'm sure we'll see each other again."

"Hey kids." Sarah's dad walked over with Jen's dad.

"Ready to go?" He asked, a little impatient.

"Give us a sec." Jen turned to her dad. "We might never see each other again."

"You can call her you know." Jen's dad pointed out and the two girls turned to him. "Here you go." Jen's dad handed her a cell phone.

"Don't think I forgot about you." Sarah's dad handed her one too.

"You mean...." The two girls turned to each other and burst into laugher and hugs.

"Come on, you can talk tomorrow, it's laet." Sarah's dad said.

"I'll call you." Jen said as she left with her dad.

"Not if I call you first." Sarah pointed out. Soon they were gone and the school was empty.

As a year passed, Sarah went to medical school, Matt got a part time internship at a local bank, Cliff worked productions at the county community collage, Kevin went down to San Diego to join the military, and Jen began her training to become a WWE superstar. Jen was 18 now and Tough Enough had come around again, she was old enough to try out. She sent in a tape and eagerly awaited the day a letter would come in the mail, but she only thought it would be a letter....

"Jen, the mail truck just left." Mike said, not looking up from his homework.

"I got it." Jen grabbed her keys and burst out the door of their apartment. They lived with their dad and he worked, so they both were man of the house when he was gone. Jen ran up to the mail box and opened it. "Bill, junk, summon, junk, hey TV Guide, bank report, mortgage, ooh a new WWE magazine." Jen looked in the box again. "Rats, nothing from Tough Enough." Jen sighed and went back to the apartment. She put the mail on the table and took the new WWE magazine, it had Christopher Nowinski on the cover. There was a knock at the door suddenly.

"Hey, door." Her brother said, again not looking up from his homework.

"Got it." Jen put down the magazine and went to the door and opened it. She saw a stranger at the door. "Can I help you?" She asked the man.

"Hello, are you Jen?" He asked and Jen looked confused.

"Yes, yes I am." She nodded slowly.

"Congratulations." The man stock out his hand. "Welcome to Tough Enough."

"What" Jen's jaw dropped. Al Snow and a camera man burst out from behind the corner.

"Surprise!" He cried and Jen turned to him, still in shock. "I hope you're ready Jen, you were selected along with 26 other possible superstars. I'm Al Snow, and I'll be your new dad." Jen was too overjoyed for words, all she could do was jump onto Al and hug him tight. Her dream was finally coming true, all of her hard work had finally paid off. She could become a WWE diva.

What will happen with Jen, will she get into Tough Enough? And what of her friends? Find out in the next upcoming chapter, coming soon!
