Ken stood where she left him for a few minutes
Ken stood where she left him for a few minutes. He shook his head and smirked. He dug his keys out of his pocket and sauntered towards his brand new truck. He'd bought it the day his divorce was final. He pulled out of the parking lot and headed home. He lived on the outskirts of town by the river. He loved it and the privacy it afforded him. Most of his friends from work had big elaborate houses with gates and all kinds of security. He on the other hand didn't. His house was by no means small. It was tucked back in a wooded area. It was a rustic home that had a fully stocked pond and a pole barn. He had his weight room and a ring set up in it so he could train and mess around out there. There was supposed to an office area out there but he'd torn down the wall made the other half of the pole barn into a rec room type thing or as his buddies from school would call it, a man cave. In the back corner there was a small bedroom if people got too rowdy and needed a place to sleep it off and couldn't make it to the house. His house was just that he supposed, a house. It wasn't anything to fancy mostly wood and stone. The great room stuck out from the back of the house and the back wall was almost all glass that afforded him and his guests great views. The master suite was pretty kick ass in his opinion. It had a great view and was manly. It even had a big fireplace in it and a private bathroom. He walked in and went into the kitchen to make himself something to eat. He settled for a sandwich and plopped down onto his couch and turned on the tv. Like any typical male he had the biggest flat screen high definition TV he could get. It had taken him awhile to figure it all out but he'd gotten all his systems down to one remote. He turned the tv on to the ball game. It was The Brewers taking on the Twins. Even though he had been born in Minneapolis he was a Wisconsin fan all the way.
He supposed he should be kind of lonely way out here by himself but he was pretty content. He had went to Vince finally and asked for some time off and surprisingly enough all he had to do to get it was agree to return to SmackDown and become one of their main contenders. He had no problem with that. In all honesty it gave him a little less of a hectic lifestyle for a while. Most of the guys saw it as a downgrade or punishment he saw it as an opportunity to get better and more of the limelight. RAW right now was all about John, Randy, and now Dave. He really hadn't gotten any airtime with any of them except Randy for a brief period of time. On SmackDown he had to contend with Edge and Paul and that was about it. Besides they were trying to up the ratings and get everyone going so new and unexpected things were going to be done. Shit they were talking about making him face, but if the fans would go for that he'd be surprised. His character was cocky, loud, and opinionated. How could they make him a face with those characteristics? He mentally shrugged and focused on the game.
He got up awhile later and put his plate in the sink and stretched. He noticed his phone blinking and picked it up to see who had called. Randy's number showed up and he smirked. Since he had left Randy, John, and Cody took turns calling him and seeing what was up. Whenever they were in the area they stopped by and hung out. It was a nice gesture and all but seeing as he was older than all three of them and they were trying to take care of him it was kind of tiring. He threw his phone back on the counter and then picked it back up and scrolled through his contact list. He stopped and started texting the person.
He shook his head and smirked at the thought of her. He wasn't used to women turning him down actually he was used to women falling all over themselves to get his attention. He really wasn't that cocky but after having it happen for a few years one gets used to it. He wasn't that bad looking of a guy and he kept himself in shape. Yeah his hair was a little much but normally before he started dying it for his career it was blonde anyways. Leah on the other hand wasn't all over him and actually kind of ignored him until he struck up a conversation with her. She seemed nice enough, a little standoffish but not snotty or anything. She reminded him of the proverbial girl next door. Her long brown hair had been thrown up in some kind of clip and she was wearing a pair of jeans and a t shirt that had seen better years and a scuffed up pair of shoes. Most women he knew and was around on a regular basis were usually all dressed up. Not that the divas were all like they were portrayed to be. He'd seen them all in various states of dressed and undressed. Since he had been in a serious relationship when he'd came into the WWE he'd been labeled as safe. So they ran around in their underwear around him if he popped in their locker room to find someone or ask a question. He couldn't count the number of times one of them had asked him to unfastened or fasten them in the shit they wore. But for some reason he knew that Leah would never label him safe and that was part of her appeal to him, to hell if he could figure out why.
Leah got in her truck and head towards the bank. She deposited her check and left. As she got in the truck her phone started ringing. She groaned when she saw the school's number come up. Crossing her fingers she prayed on of the kids just forgot something or was sick.
"Hello?" She said.
"Hi, is this Leah Ashmore?" The man asked.
"You know it is Chuck." She said.
"Hi, Leah, we have Jonnie down here in my office. Seems I'm going to have to suspend her for the remainder of the week." He said.
"Oh come on Chuck it's Tuesday, have a heart." She said.
"Sorry school policy." He said.
"What'd she do?" She asked turning around to head towards the school instead of home where much needed sleep was waiting.
"It seems Jonnie and Jessica got in a little physical altercation and broke the display case in the art wing." He said.
"Please, please, please tell me it had nothing to do with Mitch." She begged.
"Actually for his efforts of trying to break up the fight he got a bloody nose." He said. "Why did they start fighting?" She asked.
"Neither will say, and no one knows who started it." Chuck said.
"I'll be down there in 15." She said and hung up.
She mentally told herself that Jonnie was an innocent bystander and Jessica just had it out for her as she had since the ninth grade. Then she bit her lip against the laughter that threatened to bubble up. Jonnie wasn't by any means innocent she gave as good as she got if not better. But the girl did not know how to keep her mouth shut.
She pulled into the school parking lot and parked. She got out and walked toward the dreaded halls of Two Rivers High. She had had very mixed feelings about this place when she attended and had grown to hate more and more with each passing year. Between Jonnie and Chase she was here at least once every two weeks. She walked in and headed towards the main office.
"Hi Terri, I'm guessing Chuck is in his office." She said.
"Yeah he said for you to go right on in." The young receptionist said.
"I think I come here more now than I did when we were in school." Leah groaned. "Between you and me that Jessica is a replica of her sister, Michelle and we both know how bad Michelle was." Terri said conspiratorially.
She groaned and walked back towards the gleaming gray door. She opened it and saw Jonnie, Jessica, Mitch, and Chuck look up at her.
"Okay since only one of you is legally my problem get lost." She said.
Jessica glared up at her and flounced off. "You stay in the office. You are in enough trouble as it is." Chuck called after her.
"See you later?" Mitch said.
"Yeah." Jonnie said.
"That's what you think." Leah said flopping down in a chair next to her sister.
"I'm 18 you can't tell me what to do." Jonnie said defiantly.
"Don't start now." She warned her.
Jonnie rolled her eyes and stared pointedly at the wall.
"I'll make you a deal figure out what the hell happened and she serves ISS starting tomorrow." Chuck said.
"Talk kid, I don't want to be stuck with your whiny self all week." Leah said looking at her sister.
She rolled her eyes. "So she can call me a rat as well as everything else?" Jonnie spat. "I'll give her the same deal and I guarantee she'll take it." Chuck said.
"She's been a major bitch since Mitch and I started dating. She wants him or one of his friends, problem is she already spread 'em for all of Mitch's friends and he doesn't want anything to do with her." Jonnie said. "Okay so that cause you to start throwing punches today?" Leah asked.
"No before class she was talking to her friends and was saying that I'm a stuck up prude who wouldn't know how to please a man if my life depended on it. Then she turned to me and smirked and "accidentally" pushed her locker open so it hit me in the face." Jonnie said.
Leah sighed. "Who threw the first punch?" She asked.
"Me Jessica slaps like a little bitch." She said.
"Watch your mouth." Chuck said.
Jonnie rolled her eyes. "So who hit whom first after the locker?" Leah asked.
"She did. I called her a stupid whore and she slapped me so I hit her back, self defense." Jonnie said.
"Well since it is in the locker area I can look at the video tapes. Are you sure that's how it went down?" Chuck asked.
"I'm already in trouble why lie?" Jonnie asked.
"Okay, as of right now you are suspended for the day and will be serving ISS the remainder of the week." Chuck said.
"But it was self defense Chuck." Leah said jumping to her sister's defense.
"I said as of right now. If her story is true today will count as a cooling off period and she'll have detention the rest of the week. By the way who broke the art display case?" He asked.
"She hit Mitch and he stumbled into it, it wasn't intentional." Jonnie said.
"Okay I'll look into that also." He said.
"We done?" Leah asked.
"Yeah, I'll call later." He said.
"Sounds good." She said and got up.
"Let's go Jonnie, you get to pick Murphy up later." She said.
"You actually went through with it huh?" She asked as they left.
"Yeah I can't afford to support his puppies anymore, he can go get him some but he can't leave the bitch knocked up no more." She said. They both started laughing.
"Can I drive?" she asked.
"You know no one drives my baby, where is you car anyways?" Leah asked.
"I left it at home it's in the garage. Chase and Luke were playing basketball and I didn't want them hitting my car." She said.
