READ and REVIEW

After a long speech by Mr. McMahon, John Cena, Randy Orton and Patricia Stratigias, better known as Trish, were allowed to leave his office.

The result of their shenanigans inside Eric's classroom was a long reprimand about how they should behave and how lucky there were for making part of the institution his father created.

The three students did their best to pay attention to Vince. As it wasn't the first time they had been caught in this position, they already knew Vince's rebuke from back and forth.

- The next time I enter in that office because of you - Randy said in a threatening tone of voice -, I'll kick your ass.

- You went to Vince's office because you insulted Bischoff right on his face - John replied in his defence. Both Trish and Randy sent him dirty glances.

- If you haven't fallen asleep none of us would have to be worried with Bischoff catching us insulting him or making the time spent until his class was officially over - Trish grumbled and opened her purse to take off the almost apprehended blackberry. The time Trish spent inside the Principal's office made her lose precious gossip.

- Do you mind tell us why do you seem a zombie? - Randy asked when saw John yawning by the third time since Vince dismissed them.

Not even the minutes John took to rest in the math class had restored his energy. But it was nothing he wasn't expecting. Just with one hour of sleep, John couldn't wait for the day end.

- Do you think I want to know what he did last night to look a zombie? - the petit blonde interrupted John from answering before he even had time to do it. - I'm a girl. I don't like to hear boys bragging about their conquers.

John was going to deny Trish's accusations when their path was cut off by the presence of five young people. They weren't friendly people by any means.

Since a new group of teenagers joined Vincent Kennedy McMahon's School years ago, a feud had been created by a not so small number of them. It had all started in the Freshman year and proceeded until the Senior year.

The constant fights they had, turned the students in experts when you were talking about the curtain's colour of Mr. McMahon office or how many people could take a seat in the detention room.

- We need to talk - one of the two girls standing at their front spoke. Her name was Melina Perez, a fierce Latina with no problem showing the place where you belong. The girl standing at her side was named Jillian Hall and her love for the music was pain to everyone else.

- Did someone steal your broom? - A smirk was seen is Trish's features. For the first time since the day begun, she wasn't interested in her blackberry.

- Well, it seems now I can't give you it back - the Latina replied without look at Trish. The blonde wanted to reply, but she didn't have an opportunity.

- What do you want? - Randy asked before Melina and Trish could go further with the insults. Melina could be fierce, but Trish didn't stand behind in that department.

- We came to talk with your friend - John Morrison answered and his eyes leaned on John. The other two members of the group were Mike Mizanin, better known as The Miz or as he loved to call himself the Chick Magnet, and Joey Mercury.

The glances were enough to understand the members of two different groups couldn't stand each other presence.

- I would love to waste my time speaking with you, but I have more interesting things to do - John replied and tried to leave with his friends.

The barrier formed by the five students didn't move to permit Trish, Randy and John to leave.

- Do you mind ask your boyfriend to move on? - His baby blue eyes moved from Morrison to Melina. John knew he should be expecting it too after the last night. None of these people were dumb, probably Jillian was a little bit, and they would figure out what happened and who did it.

- Don't talk with her. - Morrison pulled Melina behind him. He was now face-to-face with Cena.

- Why? Are you going to drown me with your tears? - John couldn't stop his instinct: he would never back down from a challenge. It could be seen by a good value, but when you get in a lot of messes, you should learn when to quit and to show a white flag.

Getting worried with the events, Trish tapped Randy's arm. She didn't have strength to deter John.

- Come on John - Randy said and tried to push John away. They had just left Vince's office. If they returned a few minutes later, Vince wouldn't be soft with them as he was before.

- Little Orton is scared. Are you running to mommy's skirt? - Miz joked. Before he could show a smile, Randy's fist flew right into his mouth.

Before the situation could be stopped, Cena and Morrison were already over each other and students, who were in the hall, started screaming "Fight".

Trish crossed her arms over her chest and rolled her eyes in disbelief. If she was punished because Randy and John didn't know how to control the testerone running through their blood, she was going to be condemned to death for killing her friends.

Candice and Amy exchanged a confused glace between them. Not only Torrie ran away from their side, but now she was speaking with a girl who they had never seen. The two students made their way to Torrie, hoping they would understand what was happening.

- I can't believe you are here - Torrie said one more time. Her eyes were leaned on Stacy. She was still thinking her eyes were deceiving her and the girl she called "best friend" was only an illusion. - How did they accept you?

- Well, my uncle pulled some strings - Stacy explained a little embarrassed.

The school where the two best friends were standing inside was a hard school to get in. There was a big list full of names of teenagers waiting for an opportunity to make part of it. As niece of Professor Eric Bischoff, Stacy Keibler jumped a lot of names ahead and won an opportunity to be part of the elite high school.

- He really pulled a lot of strings - Torrie commented. She covered her lips with her hands. The words had just flown out of her mouth, before she could stop them. Stacy offered her an apologetic smile.

The summer holidays they spent together allowed Torrie and Stacy to catch up a lot about the last months they spent apart. While the school year, the contact between then was minimal to any. The honey blonde knew about Stacy's problems, she knew about the mess she had gotten into in her old school. They had led Stacy to make part of a new school to end her Senior year.

- Hi - Candice said when she and Amy arrived at the blondes' side. They wanted to satisfy their curiosity.

The two reunited best friends swerved their eyes into the new arrival's direction.

- I believe we had never met - Amy spoke. All her attention was being given to Stacy.

Stacy was going to answer, but Torrie stepped forward and made the presentations: - Amy, Candice, this is Stacy. - The taller blonde waved at Candice and Amy. - She recently became one of us.

- Welcome to Vicente Kennedy McMahon's School - Candice welcomed Stacy, who offered the brunette a smile. - You are going to love being here.

- I'm sure I'm - Stacy said and then glanced over her shoulder to her bags. She really wanted to get a rid of her luggage. The heavy bag needed to be tidy in her new room. - I don't want to be rude, but can someone tell me where can I find the dormitory? I really want to get a rid of my bags.

- What's your key number? - Torrie asked and Stacy handed her the key. The honey blonde sent Amy a glance - This is a coincidence - Torrie showed the redhead a key with the number "207".

- You are my new roommate - Amy pronounced with her eyes on the key. Since her and Trish's room had been left with an empty bed, the two girls had discussed about who was going to be their new partner.

- Is there any dirty secret we should know about you before becoming your guide? - The smile on Stacy's face fought to not fade away when Candice made the question. Some dirty secrets should be kept to ourselves and only to ourselves. If they couldn't be kept in the dark, the less number of people knowing about them, better. And Stacy was a girl who already had those kinds of secrets; those secrets that shouldn't be revealed in an informal conversation or in any other kind of conversation.

- Well, does being Eric Bischoff's niece is a dirty secret? - Torrie revealed surprising Amy and Candice. When her best friend spoke, Stacy sighed of relief. For the first time since she and Torrie became friends, she felt happy because Torrie stepped forward and spoke by her.

Obsessed with how the last hours turned out to be, Trish was waiting by her friends. Outside the building, she had occupied one of the few tables placed on the campus.

The incident in the hall was interrupted by Vince McMahon, who decided to leave his office when heard the agitation. Randy and John, along with Morrison, Mercury and Mike, were taken to Vince's office one more time. If the first time they left it only with a long rebuke, now the Principal was going to take serious measures. At least she wasn't involved in the situation.

- What are you doing here all alone? - The blonde tried to ignore the person who spoke to her, but he took a seat at her side.

- It's a public place. I don't need to be accompanied by someone to be here - Trish answered and glanced at the person who was disturbing her peaceful waiting: Carlito Colon.

She didn't like to admit it, but Carlito was her rebound guy. When her boyfriend left to spend three months in Europe, she got so mad at him that said goodbye to their relationship. Trish got furious because he hadn't told her about his plans. For love of God, she was his girlfriend and he didn't share it with her. When it ended, she got with Carlito and they were now in some kind of relationship, which Trish didn't know how long with would last.

- It seems someone woke up in the wrong side of the bed - Carlito commented when realized her bad attitude. Trish simply rolled her eyes when heard it. She had woke up in the right side of the bed, but Randy and John made sure she would feel like woke up in the wrong side.

- Do you want to go out tonight? - It had not been a good day and Carlito was only making it worse. Right now, she didn't need it.

- I already have plans, - Trish declined the invite. He would think she was lying, but the truth was that she was going out with her friends. Not wanting him to feel mad with her, Trish offered him a smile and said - but we can go out another time.

- I won't forget it. - Carlito stood up and walked away from Trish, who thanked God for it. She wasn't in the mood to flirt with no one. Well, there was one person she would always flirt with, even if she was mad as hell, but he wasn't around and she had no idea when he would be back.

When Carlito got into their high school, Trish saw Amy approaching from her. A malicious smile was drawn in her lips.

- I get late and you are already making friends - Amy commented and sat at Trish's side. - You told me you didn't want to go out with him anymore. Well, you told me it two months ago, but you are still going out with him.

- Where have you been? - Trish asked, ignoring everything Amy had said about her and Carlito's relationship. She wasn't in the mood to discuss it. - You could have told me you would arrive late.

- I sent messages to your cell phone and I didn't receive any kind of answer. I thought you didn't have it with you or it was uncharged.

- Well, I was in Vince's office. Did you want to take off my purse my cell phone in front of him and send you a message? - The blonde's voice was full of sarcasm. - I almost lost my blackberry to Eric because of our amazing friends. Where are Torrie and Candice?

- Torrie is showing our new roommate the school grounds and Candice is with her. I told them to meet us here when they finish it.

- Did you say "Torrie is showing our new roommate the school grounds"? - The information called Trish's attention. The school had told them about a new roommate, but neither she nor Amy had idea of whom was her. The school direction hadn't revealed to them any kind of details about the girl that was going to live with them during the next eight months and half.

- Yes, she arrived today - Amy explained to Trish - and she and Torrie are best friends since elementary school. Her name is Stacy and seems to be nice.

- I only hope she doesn't snore - Trish commented and grabbed her purse. Amy sent her a confuse glance. A smile showed up on Trish's face to Amy's surprise. It was incredible how she was able to smile even with all the bad humour inside her petit body. - Let's go after Torrie and Candice, so I can meet out new roommate.
