Chapter Five- Something I Don't
Later that day, all the wrestlers in the hotel board the bus to take us to New York. "Jason, what day is it?" I say as he sits down in the seat on the other side of the aisle. "Thursday, we have a live Smackdown show tonight. And tomorrow night, Club Masquerade!" he says, high-fiving Adam as he sits down with Jay. "Great," I say, albeit unexcitedly. "Hey, what's wrong with you?" Jason says. "I don't know, that's just it. I feel stupid." "Why?" "This morning, when I went to the drink machine like I usually do, Jeff was there, and I couldn't think of anything smart to say to him." Jason and Adam exchange a knowing glance. "Oh," he says, turning back to Adam. "What does that mean?!" I exclaim. "Nothing. I don't know what's wrong with you. Did he not say anything either?" "No... why?" "No reason. Tell us what happened, Charity!" I look at them strangely for a moment, then begin to speak. "We just happened to go to the same machine at the same time. We looked at each other for a few seconds, and then he asked me if something was wrong with me. I said no, and he just shrugged and walked away." "Okay, I'll think about it, Charity. Thought about it! We think-" "You guys have a crush on each other!" Adam interrupts. My eyes almost pop out of my head. "What the hell are you two on?!" I exclaim, not noticing that Jeff and Matt had just gotten on the bus. "I do not like him in the least! It was just early, and my mind hadn't started up yet! You know it doesn't until I get my caffeine in the morning anyways! You two of all people should know that!" I glance up to see Matt sit down with me, and Jeff walk to the back of the bus. He looks back at me with a far, almost hurt, look in his eyes, but quickly turns away. "Hey, Charity, what are you guys arguing about?" "Nothing," I say, almost ashamed of my suddenly humbled self. "Nothing at all." How could they actually think that about me?! That was the craziest idea I had ever heard, and they should know better.
