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

Samantha's Point of View-

"Here they are." Shane said as we walked in.

"Hey Shane, Vince." Elle said as she shook Shane and Vince's hand.

"Hey Shane, you must be Mr. McMahan." I said shaking Shane's hand then Vince's hand.

"You must be Samantha, you can call me Vince." Vince said.

"Okay." I said nodding.

"He's nothing like the oh powerful Oz huh Sam?" Shane asked.

"You told him?" I asked.

"I thought it was quite funny." Vince said.

"I'm confused here." Elle said.

"It's a long story Elle." I said as Shane and Vince pulled out our seats for us at a table, and they sat down across from us.

"In my understanding, you two have been studying for your GED, correct?" Vince asked.

"Yes sir." Elle said.

"You are too right Sam?" Shane asked.

"Yes, she makes sure of it." I said.

"When do you think you guys would be ready to take the GED test?" Vince asked.

"I don't know, maybe a week or two, why?" Elle asked.

"We are being inspected soon, and we need to get you two caught up" Shane said.

"When is our test date?" I asked.

"What about Friday?" Vince asked.

"Fine with me, you got to get your Math up to speed missy." Elle said.

"You need to be working on your English missy." I said in the same tone as her.

"Shane, you shouldn't of put these two together, what were you thinking?" Vince asked.

"Well, I figured that their both girls, they both don't have their GED, and Sam needs to be trained." Shane said.

"Ladies, back on subject, will you be ready by Friday?" Vince asked.

"Yeah, we will be ready." Elle said nodding.

"Is your birthday on Monday Samantha?" Shane asked looking at the paperwork, Vince nudged him.

"Yeah, thanks for bringing it to everyone's attention. Why?" I asked.

"It doesn't matter, how old you turning?" Vince asked.

"17." I said.

"Wow, you are old." Elle said, I just gave her an evil glare.

"Anyways, Samantha, will you be okay tomorrow during Phil's and Mike's match?" Shane asked.

"She's working the merchandise stand." Elle said.

"What type of match are they doing, or are the votes not in yet?" I asked curiously.

"I'm not going to tell you, because you'll freak out." Shane said.

"I'm going to get back to work, I'm so confused about this." Vince said.

"Nice to meet you sir." I said standing up shaking Vince's hand.

"Nice to meet you too Samantha, nice seeing you again Michelle." Vince said shaking her hand too.

"Are you talking to Phil yet?" Shane asked.

"No, I talked to him a little bit earlier today, but nothing more than two lines." I said.

"We got to get going, John and Mike are waiting for us in the car." Elle said.

"Alright, I don't want a handshake, I want a hug." Shane said, we hugged him, he walked us out to the car and he made sure that we left safely.

"So, what do you guys have planned?" John asked right when we got in the car.

"We are taking our GED test on Friday." Elle said.

"Tonight we, at least I am, jamming a study session." I said as I shut my door and Mike started the car.

"You do that." John said.

"Anybody want to help?" I asked.

"Not really." Mike said.

"You're my boyfriend, you should help me." I said pouting.

"I'm probably going to hit the gym to get a last minute work out before my match tomorrow." Mike said.

"We'll be in the other room while your studying." Elle said.

"Great, I can then listen to my iPod in peace." I said.

"Isn't your iPod almost dead by now?" Mike asked.

"They have a iHome, it will charge it." I said.

"Very true, but don't play it too loud, we may not like your music." John said.

"How rude, saying you don't like my music." I said.

"She has nice taste in music dude." Elle said.

"See, she likes it." I said as John pulled into the hotel parking garage.

"I guess I can deal with it." John said.

"And at least we can wake up in style." Mike said.

"I'm not that stylish though." I said.

"By the clothes that you have been loaning Elle, I'll say you have style." Mike said.

"You borrowed those clothes from Sam?" John asked as he parked the car and we climbed out.

"Yeah, sadly." Elle said.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked offended.

"That someone my age has to take fashion advice from a 16 year old." Elle said.

"I'm not going to be 16 for long, so it won't make you feel that bad soon enough." I said as we made our way into the hotel and to the elevator.

"When's your birthday exactly?" John asked.

"Monday, I thought you said you told him." I said looking at Mike.

"I'm just reconfirming it." John said.

"I better not get any surprises, I mean it. I don't want the cake that they are buying me anyway after the show." I said.

"You told her that they were buying her a cake?" Elle asked.

"I was there when they ordered it." Mike said as we walked down the hallway to our rooms.

"You didn't have to tell her though." John said.

"It's cool, I hate surprises anyway." I said as we just went in through their room.

"Oh, what if someone planned a surprise for you, would you hate them forever about it?" Elle asked.

"No, I'll hate you at first, but I will get over it." I said as I walked over into mine and Elle's room, I zipped open Elle's backpack finding the Math book.

"Don't work too much on Math, you need to focus on the other subjects too." Mike said.

"I know, but I suffer the most in Math." I said as I sat down at the table, he sat in the seat across from me.

"Your that bad?" John asked.

"No, I just never paid attention to it and I used to just copy my boyfriends homework." I confessed.

"You cheater." Elle said joining the party.

"Have fun, I'm going to go to the gym in the hotel or I'm going for a swim." Mike said as he got up and went into the other room, he switched into his gym clothes.

"We're going to be in the other room if you need any help." John said as him and Elle went in the other room. I got up to plug in my iPod into the iHome, I had it start playing.

"I'll be back later, have fun studying sweetie." Mike said coming back in kissing me lightly.

"Have a good work-out, don't work out too much where your sore for the match tomorrow." I said.

"I'll try not to." Mike said as he walked out of the room, I sat down, I sang along to the songs on my iPod.

"She's going out to forget they were together
All that time he was taking her for granted
She wants to see if there's more
than he gave she's looking for
He calls her up
He's trippin on the phone now
He doesn't want her out there
And alone now
He knows she's movin it
Knows she's using it
Now he's losing it
She don't care
Everybody put up your hands
Say I don't wanna be in love
I don't wanna be in love
Feel the beat now
If you've got nothing left
Say I don't wanna be in love
I don't wanna be in love
Back it up now
You've got a reason to live
Say I don't wanna be in love
I don't wanna be in love
Feelin' good now
Don't be afraid to get down
Say I don't wanna be in love
I don't wanna be in love" I sang to the song 'I Don't Want to Be in Love' by Good Charlotte.

"You like Good Charlotte?" John asked.

"Yeah, them and Fall Out Boy." I said.

"Back to studying you!" Elle said.

"Fine!" I said.
