Sara was waiting to meet Seth and just really hoped he wouldn't show. It was tempting to think she could just walk off. Tell them to find someone else to valet for him. Looking around he was late. She couldn't believe it. She just knew he would start being a jerk. But maybe he was just late she told herself. Sighing she looked around the room again before turning around bumping into someone.
"Hey watch it" Seth said angrily as he caught his cell phone he nearly dropped. "Sorry" she said apologetically. Making him mad was not the right way to start out. He began texting on his phone again. "Well anyway since I am having to do this it might as well benefit me. You are going to be in my corner for my match with Randy Orton. Since you will it might as well do me some good. You know anything about wrestling"?
Sara was very put off by his attitude. Him asking the question was the first he had even looked up from his phone. Now he was asking her if she knew anything about wrestling. Why would she be here if she didn't? "Well you going to say anything or are we going to stand here all day. I don't have time to stand here while you think of something to say". "Sorry I'm just wondering why you're asking me if I know anything about wrestling. I won tough enough and I'm in training".
"Yeah that's your problem right there. You know anything about valeting? That's probably what you're going to end up doing if you stay here anyway". "What's that supposed to mean"? "Doesn't matter and since you can't seem to give me an answer I am going to assume you don't know. Valeting means you help me win the match". "I know what valeting means" she said now a little hateful.
"Good at least you know something". "What is your problem"? Sara asked not believing his attitude. He smirked just slightly. "Right now it's you. In case you couldn't guess I don't need a valet. And if I did it definitely wouldn't be you". "Seth I have never even talked to you so you don't know me. I didn't choose to do this. And if I did it definitely wouldn't be with you". "Think that's going to hurt my feelings or something?
No I don't know you and I don't want too. But I do know your type. This is pointless because you're not going to take this seriously". "How am I not taking it seriously? What is my type"? "I am not even going to get into this with you. It's obviously a waste of time. Just be ready for the match tonight". He walked off and she couldn't believe her luck. This was bad and she figured it was about to get worse.
She wore her flannel ring gear just so she could get the feel of it on the main roster. She went to meet Seth again. Maybe he got sick and went home. He turned to see her approaching. "Took you long enough and what are you wearing"? "My ring gear why what's wrong with it"? "First off all if you're going to be a diva you're going to have to learn to dress better. And I say diva not superstar.
And secondly you're not wrestling. He chuckled smirking slightly "You're just trying to be a pretend wrestler. You're never going to make it I can tell you. So how about we do each other a favor and focus on my match"? "How about you do yourself a favor and focus on winning your match. On second thought do yourself two favors and start being nice to me. Or I want help you and I am not tonight.
"Psst ha! You think I need your help to win a match? You're the inexperienced rookie not me. But since you're here as my valet you're going to help me. Because if you don't I will go tell management about it. You know they are going to listen to me over you right? They are counting on me to inform them how you're doing. You refusing to help me isn't going to be that impressive.
And if you don't help me you're staying backstage. I can make you do that you know. So you better start treating me with some respect. Understand that"? Seth knew he had her where he wanted her. She would do what he said. Maybe he was being rude to her. But she didn't belong here. He knew that for sure. "Whatever" she said not looking at him. "Don't mess up my entrance either stay out of the way".
As Sara watched the match she could tell they were both talented wrestlers. Seth kicked Randy out of the ring and walked over to her. "Listen he gets the upper hand you do whatever it takes to distract him. Absolutely whatever it takes". She nodded her head as he went back to Randy. She continued to watch really impressed. Randy his Seth with an Rko and went for the pin. Realizing he might be in trouble meaning she would she jumped in the ring.
The referee wouldn't see her if she just stayed on the apron. She jumped on Randy just enough to stop the pin. She stood back up and he turned to her with anger in his eyes. She backed up not really wanting to face his wrath. "What the hell do you think you're doing" he yelled coming toward her. She backed up into the ring ropes. "Answer me"! "I am trying to help him win" she said nervously. "Don't you involve yourself in my matches ever again". "Okay" she said weakly as he gestured for her to get out of the ring.
She did so as quickly as she could her heart still beating fast. Randy hit Seth with the Rko and she didn't dare try to interfere. As Randy's music hit Sara felt like she was going to be sick. She rushed backstage holding her head in her hands. The first night and she already screwed up. But she wasn't going to cross Randy Orton. "What the hell"? Seth said as he approached her angrily. "What was that out there?
You didn't even try to do anything". "I did and Randy didn't like it". "Yeah he is not supposed to like it and that doesn't matter. I knew you would find a way to screw it up". "No Seth I helped you and that should have been enough for you to win. For someone who can win on their own. And Randy was coming toward me what was I supposed to do"? "Keep distracting him like a good valet is supposed to do no matter what".
She felt sick as he hadn't stopped yelling the whole time. "Seth I was just afraid of Randy. He was mad and I didn't know what he might do". "That's how you're going to explain yourself? You were worried about getting hurt? This is the wrestling business where people get hurt. You think any of the other great valets and managers worried about getting hurt? You think the women valets worry about getting hurt?
Sure they probably do but they do it anyway. You suck at this you screwed up and you don't belong here. You proved that tonight". "Seth I'm sorry" she said weakly. "Yeah you are sorry. And I just bet you feel that way". "I do I am sorry. None of the women here even wrestle men at all. Or get in the way of the men matches. I don't know what you expect me to do". "There are women all over the world who get in the ring with men. There are some here who have. So don't use that excuse. And if you do the distraction right I would be up before he even had the chance to hurt you.
But since you're so worried about getting hurt maybe you should stay backstage". She stayed quiet not wanting to further anger him. She wanted to be out there learning like she was supposed to. But as angry as he was he just might tell management. And this experience would be over for her just like that. She had been lucky to get the opportunity and she already blew it.
Sara looked like she was about to cry. "What are you gonna cry? Like I said toughen up". "No I'm not going to cry. I'm going to prove you wrong". He raised an eyebrow at her proclamation. She was determined but he hadn't missed her dabbing at her eyes. So she had started to cry. He felt bad for losing his cool with her. Especially on her first night. He nodded at her "If you mean that you are going to have to toughen up.
That's not me being a jerk. This business is not for the weak hearted. You have to adapt and be willing to learn". "I am and I'm trying ". "Okay look I'm not going to get you in trouble with management. This is new for you and I haven't made that easy. So I'm sorry that isn't easy for me to say, but I'm man enough to say it. And I shouldn't have expected you to jump in the ring on the first night. It's really nothing personal against you".
Sara had thought he took it very personal for some reason. "It's okay I can understand. I need to know this stuff right"? "Well you didn't really do that bad for a first night". "Thank you" she said smiling gratefully. "Your welcome well I guess il see you later" Seth still didn't exactly like her but at least he could bring himself to be polite to her. Or at least be able to tolerate her. Sara was just happy he was making an effort already. It was progress from what she could see. She still wasn't sure she liked him. But if he could give her a chance then she could give him a chance.
