I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'.

Lindsey's Point of View-

I went to my last period as I sat in the seat I had claimed the day before I stared at the clock, I didn't really want to pay attention.

"Lindsey….Lindsey." I heard my name being called looking up.

"Yeah?" I asked looking up at the teacher.

"De donde eres?"

"Soy de Orlando."

"Como estas?"

"Muy bueno, y tu?" I said not even sweating the conversation as the teacher smiled as she nodded.

"Muy bueno, muy bueno." She said as she turned around moving onto the next student, the bell rung and I stood up like all the other students gathering my things heading out. "Lindsey…Lindsey, may we talk." She said as I stopped and went to talk with her.

"Yeah?" I asked confused.

"Have you took Spanish before?"

"At my old school, but I didn't finish it so it transferred over here and I lived in Orlando where we had a lot of transfer students…I just picked up quickly." I said shrugging.

"I'll tell you what, I'll talk to your counselor and I'll set up a test for you to take during your free period or during my class, if you get higher than a 80% then I will give you an A and you will get full credit for this course without having to take it." She said.

"So, I won't have to take this class at all and be able to take a different class?"

"That is exactly, do you want to do it?"

"Yes!" I said excitedly as she smiled.

"I'll set it up, will you be ready to test tomorrow?"

"Absolutely." I said confidently as I smiled and headed out bumping right into Cody, "Stalking me?" I asked.

"No, I came looking for you because I couldn't find you. Come on, I can't be late for my audition." He said as I rolled my eyes as I followed him to where his auditions were to take place claiming a seat in one of the last couple rows as I pulled out my comic book doodling it out, I hadn't been able to color the last couple pages and figured Cody may like to do that. I didn't even pay attention to what was taking place on stage nor how long it was taking.

"Hey, did I miss Cody's audition?" Dustin asked, I looked up seeing him slide into the seat next to me.

"I don't think so…" I said looking towards the stage then back to my comic.

"What are you working on?" Dustin asked.

"Nothing." I said as he pulled it out from beneath my hand, "You and Cody, I swear."

"He did the same thing, huh?" He asked smiling as he looked it over and flipped through the other pages. "These are really good, you want to do animation or graphics? I can get you an internship with the kids magazine or the drawing committee for the shirts." Dustin said as I shrugged.

"I am torn between that and something else."

"What?" Dustin asked as I bit at my bottom lip, "Oh no, I am not going to let you wrestle."

"But you can't tell me not to, you wrestle and I'm around it more so now. I owe it my life, I owe you my life too for changing it for me…but it saved me…."

"Fine, if you want to wrestle, you got to learn how to act, audition." Dustin said nodding to the stage.

"I'm not going to audition, I can't act nor do I want to act."

"You have to act when you wrestle so you need to learn." Dustin said as I looked to the table hearing them announce last call for auditions. "I'll do it now or I close the case on helping you wrestle."

"I want to audition!" I said raising my hand standing up as I looked to Dustin, "I want to do this." I said.

"Come on down miss." She said as Cody's face as he stood on the stage was priceless as I walked down being handed a book to read from, I headed up the stairs and stood in front of Cody.

"What are you doing?" Cody asked.

"Dustin won't let me wrestle or begin to train until I audition or learn how to act. So here I am." I whispered back.

"Let's start on page 16, with Cody's line." The lady said as I nodded as we both flipped to the page seeing the line she was talking about.

"Go ahead." I said as I glanced over the line that was mine as I looked up at Cody with his blue eyes staring back at me then he looked out to the audience then back at me.

"It was the lark, the herald of the morn. No nightingale: look, love, what envious streaks. Do lace the severing clouds in yonder east: Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day, stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops. I must be gone and live, or stay and die." Cody spoke as I let out a breath as I looked down at my book hating that I had to do Shakespeare because I can't even understand what was written much less would I be able to act it out.

"Yon light is not day-light, I know it. It is some meteor that the sun exhales, to be to thee this night a torch-bearer, and light thee on thy way to Mantua. Therefore stay yet; thou need'st not to be gone." I replied.

"Let me be ta'en, let me be put to death; I am content, so thou wilt have it so. I'll say yon grey is not the morning's eye, 'tis but the pale reflex of Cynthia's brow; nor that is not the lark, whose notes do beat the vaulty heaven so high above our heads. I have more care to stay than will to go. Come, death, and welcome! Juliet wills it so. How is't, my soul? Let's talk; it is not day." Cody spoke.

"It is, it is: hie hence, be gone, away! It is the lark that sings so out of tune, straining harsh discords and unpleasing sharps. Some say the lark makes sweet division; this doth not so, for she divideth us. Some say the lark and loathed toad change eyes. O, now I would they had changed voices too! Since arm from arm that voice doth us affray, hunting thee hence with hunt's-up to the day. O, now be gone; more light and light it grows." I said as it was his line and the last line on the page and scene.

"More light and light; more dark and dark our woes!" Cody ended the scene as I bit at my lip backing up some as I closed the book.

"Thank you…um….I didn't catch your name…"

"I'm Lindsey." I said as I began to walk down the steps and handed them the book back.

"Thank you Lindsey." The judge lady said as I nodded and headed back up where Dustin sat.

"That is what you call acting?" Dustin asked.

"It wasn't my best work and I have never acted a day in my life and I was kind of thrown under the bus there so I didn't have time to practice unlike Cody." I tried to stand up for myself, "And considering that was the first time I've ever acted, I'm proud of myself."

"That was a good first attempt but you got a long way to go." Dustin said.

"Okay, maybe acting isn't my forte and we are all aren't good at something so don't blame me for not being gifted at acting but I can make it up with my wrestling skill. So can I learn?" I asked trying not to show my excitement.

"I'll see what I can do…" Dustin said as I smiled.

"I take that as a yes." I said as I glanced over to him and I could tell he was fighting a smile that wanted to come to his face.

"It's a possible yes, I have to talk to Cody since I've been training him and if I start training you, that means you two will be working together….I don't know how he'll feel wrestling a girl." Dustin said.

"Dustin, I'm sure he'll be fine with it since we are close and have to be." I said as I'm sure Cody would be fine with it, at least I would hope he would be fine with it as I went back to drawing at my comic hoping that I was right when Cody approached.

"I'm ready." Cody said as I slid my stuff back into my bag standing up beside Dustin pulling my bag onto my shoulder sliding out of the row behind Dustin and headed out of the theater. "Are you going to train her?" Cody asked when we got outside of the theater.

"I was going to ask if you would okay teaming with her since if I'm training you both it'll be you two against each other since you two are more equally matched." Dustin said as Cody looked to me and I clenched my fists around my straps as I nervously looked up at Cody.

"I think that I will be okay with that, as long as she doesn't beat me up too much." Cody said as I chuckled.

"I make no promises weak link." I said as he smiled.

"I won't start calling names yet…" Dustin said as I nodded.

"Wait until we get in the ring to find out who the true weak link is…" Cody said.

"Oddly, this reminds me…I need you to sign off on class changes and I may change classes again…" I explained.

"It's only your second day of school, how are you doing so many class changes?" Cody asked.

"I'm going into weight lifting which made my classes change and then my Spanish teacher thinks that I can opt out of her class if I score high enough on the test she is giving me tomorrow, so I will get full credit and pass…" I said.

"Cody, how come this has yet to happen to you?" Dustin asked.

"Because I'm not a teacher's pet." Cody said as I rolled my eyes as we approached Dustin's car.

"I got to wait and see if I pass the test first." I said as I climbed into the back seat as I buckled up looking out the window excited to see what is to come tomorrow and didn't really care to want to go check the posting of the play because I know I won't get anything much less would I want anything in the play. We arrived back to the house, Dustin said we had to do our homework at the table and I guess that is his thing from what Cody said, which I can't complain that way he could make sure we were doing it and look over it with us if we need help. "So, you really want to try this wrestling thing?" Cody whispered as I glanced over to him as I looked back to my math homework.

"I thought you didn't want to give it a try…" I rhetoric back to him.

"I don't but I need a back-up plan."

"I need a plan…and…I think that I won't know if it is a consideration for a plan if I don't give it a go." I said shrugging as I had came to a conclusion to my math problem.

"True, but is it the right industry for you?"

"What are you trying to say?" I asked a little louder as I looked to him waiting for his explanation.

"Wrestling isn't a big female sport, it's more of a male dominant sport and just…don't want you to get hurt…"

"I won't get hurt…so what if it's a male dominant sport? What about Miss Elizabeth? Fabulous Moolah? Mae Young? I can do it and I will do it, I'll be better than you…" I said.

"I didn't mean for you to take it personally….jeez…" Cody said as he shut his book and left, I didn't understand why he got up and left as I watched him go upstairs.

"What is that about?" Dustin asked as I looked at him as he bit into an apple.

"I don't know…think he is afraid that I'll be competition and me wrestling." I said as I stared blankly at where he had walked up the stairs. "I'm going to my room, I'm done with my homework and I'll be down for dinner." I said as Dustin nodded as I headed up the stairs carrying my things, I went to my room first as I ventured across the hall to Cody's room gently knocking on the open door as I leant against the frame. "Hey…what is going on?" I asked curiously as he didn't even turn around.

"Nothing." Cody said.

"It sure seems like something." I said.

"Just….why wrestling? Why did you have come audition today?" Cody asked.

"You're jealous."

"I'm not jealous…just, why?"

"I don't want to act, the audition didn't mean anything and I don't want the damn part…for all I care, they say that I suck and I would agree. I was trying to prove Dustin wrong and I did…I just want to wrestle, even if it is for four minutes. Wrestling isn't even your number one plan, so what's wrong with that?" I asked.

"Nothing, I guess I am not used to sharing the spot light…plus, worried about you because wrestling is a man sport and women barely ever do it."

"So? If I like it, then I like it. Can we at least wait until this weekend to see if I like it and if it's something that I like, then I'll see where it'll take me. Like I said, I don't know what I want to do with my life unlike you." I said as Cody nodded, "But…I thought you would want to read more of the comic…" I said as he smirked.

"Absolutely." Cody said smiling.

"I was thinking, do you want to color them?"

"You kidding me? Yes!" Cody said excitedly as I smiled as he followed me to my room where I claimed the spot on my bed as he got to his normal spot on the ground next to my bed leaning back on it reading and coloring at my comic book as I rolled to my stomach working at drawing more.

"Well, this is definitely a site that I could have called from the beginning…kids, put down the comics and come eat your dinner." Dustin said as Cody and I looked over at Dustin before we got up heading to do dinner.

"You need to sign the paperwork Dustin." I said as I twirling my fork in the spaghetti.

"I will, remind me before bed." Dustin said as I nodded as we ate.

"So, training me…how does that work? Like, do Cody and I go with you on weekend tours?" I asked.

"Yeah, you'll fly out with me after school on Friday and Sunday you guys will fly back, you guys will have to get a cab home." Dustin said.

"I've been there, done that." Cody said as he bit into his food as I nodded as I nervously excited.

"Tomorrow, we'll go pick up what you'll need for it and some clothes and such for here that you haven't picked up yet." Dustin said as I nodded, things seemed so weird and things seemed to have me being pulled every which way but things were looking good.
