"Didn't hear from him all night, it just let slip, I feel bad," Shawn sighed leaning against the wall of the lockers as Paul rummaged within his.
"In all fairness, he was going to find out sooner or later, there was no way we were going to keep that from him."
The two were finally joined by John and Adam, "still no luck?" Adam asked Paul
"I swear I put it in here, Arrgh man!" he pulled out a lunch bag, in side was a mouldy old green sandwich. "I think it was Tuna" he gagged and he dropped it into a nearby trashcan and slammed his locker door. "Well, guess I'll have another detention with Miss Wilson."
Shawn smirked "like you're complaining" and glanced down at his phone; he checked his messages for a third time that morning "hey, has anyone heard off Randy?" He asked "I've text him at least three times this morning and he's not replied," John and Adam shook their heads, "you think he's really mad at me?"
"I think he's going to be pissed at all of us, we all kept it from him," John said reassuringly,
"You don't think he went after Batista do you?" Shawn asked worryingly
"He's not that stupid" Adam smirked as they walked up the busy halls to their first lesson, English.
They grabbed their seats at the back of the class as usual, saving one empty seat for their leader,
"Alright Guys and Dolls let's get this party started" Mr Rutherford yelled over the chattering students as he walked into the room and as always placed his suit case of the desk at one end and sat on the opposite edge. "Now last time we started looking at the balcony scene, I hope you guess have been studying it because you will be performing it to me at the end of the lesson, for the first..." the door opened and Randy with Maria walked in sounding and looking out of breath,
"Sorry were late sir... bus troubles" Randy puffed
"Randy Orton why am I not surprised, but Miss Kanellis... very unlike you, your letting your standards slip girlfriend, take a seat both of you" he waited for the pair of them to be seated before continuing. Randy sat in the empty his friends had left for him and Marias sat by a group of giggling girls, which unfortunately was scarily close to Batista. "As I was saying, for the first few minutes I'm going to discuss what were going to do Next week... Next week were going to be moving away from the romance side of Romeo and Juliet and looking more in depth at the deaths and fights, analysing them, getting to grips and maybe doing some more acting... But I want you to push all the desks and chairs to the sides of the room and get into your pairs, you will have 5 minutes practice and they you will perform to the class."
The class was filled with the scraping of chairs and desks and the 7 pairs of people all spawned off to separate areas of the room. After what seemed like a very long practice Mr Rutherford gathered the students again and set the first pair off to perform, he had pulled a desk into the centre of the room to represent the balcony.
3 pairs had preformed including Paul and Shawn's all male comedy performance, Dave and Betty had just finished and Mr Rutherford called up Randy and Maria. Butterflies fluttered in her stomach,
"I'm nervous," she whispered
"Don't be, just pretend it's you and me in my lounge like we practised last night" he smiled and grabbed her hand.
"Ok Kids... and Action!"
Maria sat on the desk, putting on a true performance unlike some of the others did, the pair began the same scene that 4 other couples preformed before them, however unlike the others there was an element of truth to their performance, there was passion and romance that they brought to their roles. As they finished the bell rang for second period, Mr Rutherford applauded as they left the make shift stage.
"Guys that was beautiful, really felt the passion, totally make up for your lateness, ok be nice and early next week kids, class dismissed"
Maria caught a glimpse of Dave scowling but she didn't care, she smiled as she caught up with her girls as they left the class, Randy watched her walk down the hall; she gave a back glance at him and smiled.
"Randy Man," Shawn clapped his hand on his shoulder "it's been eating me up all day! I got to get it off my chest"
"Dude its fine" he smiled. He patted his back "Actually Shawn, I got to thank you, you have started something beautiful."
Shawn looked very puzzled "Really, How?"
"You're tapping that aren't you?" Paul yelled slapping Randy's back. They pushed passed a bunch of giggling first years and a group of nerds gathered around the water fountain and headed to the gym for their second lesson, and the only thing Randy could even think of was Maria, her smile, her eyes, how hot she looks in those tight yellow Gym shorts. They spent the whole night together rehearsing the play at Randy's place, up until the early hours of the morning, practicing the play, kissing, talking, more kissing. Randy hadn't felt this happy in a very long time, as much as he tried to hide his overwhelming happiness from the guys, the more it was obvious.
"Dude just for you own safety, try to tone down the smiling when you go into the locker room." John said as they walked through the gym to the locker rooms
"Can't help it, it's a good day"
"Dude we have Dodge ball against the Revolutions... how is that a good day?" Shawn questioned.
Randy knew he was heading into a beat down but he did not care, he was happy and nothing could spoil that mood.
