Chapter I:

Stacy swallowed the lump on her throat as she put her car on a halt to a vacant space in the parking lot of WWE High. She allowed her eyes to wander through the thick crowd of people walking around the campus. She let out deep sigh before unfastening her seatbelt.

"I can do this! I can totally do this!" she repeatingly assured herself as she closed her eyes tightly as if by doing this, she'd be able to pick up all the courage in the world she's going to need. She opened the car door with so much force out of nervousness.

"Ouch!" Stacy heard a girl's voice exclaim sharply and a body hitting the ground. She quickly got out of the car to see who it was. It was dumb to say because she doesn't know even a single soul in this new school.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" she quickly went to the girl's side to help her up.

"Gosh!" the girl yelped as she felt her hips to see if she broke a bone.

"Serves her right! She's such a loser!" the two of them heard a high-pitched voice from behind them. But as Stacy turned to explain that it was purely her fault, the speaker had already walked away. Stacy noticed as she looked at the speaker's back that she was sort of stocky girl.

"Umm. Mind helping me up?" she heard the girl she just knocked down said to her.

"Oops! Sorry! Here…" she said as she offered her hand. The girl gladly took her hand. Stacy just stood there in silence as she watched the girl dusting off some dirt from the fall. Stacy noticed that the girl has blonde hair too but there was something in her that made her look like a tough chick. Not some blonde bimbo.

"I'm really sorry. I really didn't mean too. I was thinking about something that I didn't realize that someone was right outside my car. Stacy explained in one breath.

"Now I tell you, it's okay. Really. It was my fault too. A girl's got to do what she got to do." She told her and gave her a wink. Stacy just looked at her quizzically.

"Um, you know. Look at her reflection." She answered and pointed at the shiny glass window.

"Oh!" Stacy just said.

"By the way, I'm Ashley." Stacy smiled in relief.

"I'm Stacy. Stacy Keibler." Stacy introduced herself.

"You must be new here." Ashley answered instead as she looked at her closer. "Yep, haven't seen you before. But anyway, nice to meet you."

"Thanks. Nice to meet you too. I'm new here. I bet this is going to be a rough day for me." Stacy just said and locked her car.

"Oh, but if you ask me, you're not going to have a hard time fitting in here." Ashley answered as the two of them started to walk.

"Huh?" Stacy asked her in a curious voice.

"Well, look at you. You're pretty, nice clothes, car…" Ashley told her.

"Oh!" Stacy didn't know what to say. She has heard that line so many times but didn't actually took it seriously. She thinks she's much too skinny for her own right!

"Never mind that. What's your first class?" Ashley asked her out of the blue when she didn't answer anymore. Stacy answered her and was glad to know that they had the same first class and some other subjects too.

"Come on or we'll be late. Professor Jameson isn't really particular with latecomers." Ashley told her and lead the way.

"Ashley? Thanks a lot." Stacy said gratefully. She couldn't help but smile, she's just found a new friend. Maybe WWE high isn't that bad, Stacy decided.

After minutes of talking and making their way to their first class, they finally arrived with Ashley entering the room a bit dramatically. Nobody seems to notice her.

"Hi guys!" she exclaimed loudly and all the attention was focused on her.

"Hey Ash!" some of the people in the back greeted her in return.

"Meet our new classmate, Stacy!" and next thing she knew, she was greeted by His and Hellos. She gave them a small shy smile. She looked around the room studying everything her sight greeted her. then she saw someone at the back row. Her eyes rested on the guy. He was wearing a baby blue shirt which complimented his blue eyes perfectly. He was sitting alone in the corner and listening to his iPod. Stacy's hunch was that he doesn't seem to have a care in the world.

"Hmm. He's kind of cute." She thought absent-mindedly and found herself staring at the guy. The guy in question must have felt her burning gaze that he lifted his head from his gadget and turned to look at her. Stacy saw that his face was blank from any emotion. He must have studied her closely enough that he returned to his iPod without any smile or frown or any trace of acknowledgement.

"Hmp! Snob!" she complained but only to herself. "Must be autistic." She convinced herself.

"Come on Stace. I'll introduce you to my bestfriend." Ashley said and pulled her towards the back. In girl language: I'll introduce you to my prince charming!

To Stacy's surprise, Ashley was leading her to the snob's seat.

"Hey John! Have you met our new classmate?" Ashley asked as she pulled his earphones roughly from his ears.

"Ow! Why did you do that?" he demanded in a would-be angry voice but Stacy knew he was not in a bit angry at all.

"That's for abandoning me this summer." Ashley pouted and stuck out a tongue.

"Ash! You know my parents! They almost locked me up unless I take those stupid piano lessons." The guy called John answered defensively.

"Yeah I know. I was just kidding. Oh this is Stacy by the way. Stacy Keibler. Stacy, this is John Cena." Ashley introduced them to each other.

"Nice to meet you." John said and offered a hand. She stiffly took it and muttered "same here." So softly until it was like an inaudible whisper.

But as their met, Stacy felt a shock ran through her. John must have felt it too as they withdrew their hands suddenly together. John looked at her briefly but just shook his head and returned to his iPod.

Stacy stopped dead. She was looking at John intently that she just stopped when she heard Ashley's voice again.

"You're going to sit with us, okay?" Ashley offered her.

"Hey! That seat's taken!" John yelled as Ashley tried to take his bag away from the seat.

"Huh? By whom? Your bag. Sorry Johnny baby but I'm not buying it." Ashley told him and threw his bag at him.

"It's alright. If he doesn't want me to take this seat then I'll go find another." Stacy said shortly.

"No, it's alright. John was just kidding. Right John?" Ashley smiled sarcastically at John and John just shrugged as he looked at Stacy.
