Sunday
I woke up at 3 pm to the phone in my hote room phone ringing. I picked it up and to hear that it was just them calling for my curtsey call to wake me up. I hung up the phone and rolled out of bed and washed my face quickly and took an asprin for my headache. Dressing in my red dickie pants and black CBGB: Home of entertainment shirt and red high top converse I got ready for the meeting I had with Eric before the meeting. I pulled my hair back in a high ponytail. I had just redyed the pink and red streaks in my hair and let one pink and red streak frame my face. I headed towards the meeting room at 3:20 to make it in time to talk to Eric.
"Good Afternoon Sarah, how are you today?"
"Afternoon Eric. I'm doing pretty well. Yourself?"
"Great, tomorrow is going to be a spectacular Raw. How was your flight up here? The driver said you slept from the time you entered the car to the time he woke you up at the hotel."
"The flight was good. I slept most of it. Well, all of it. I didnt get much sleep last night. I was out partying at Slim's down there in Conneitcut. My favorite band did a show. It was good, because all my friends were there."
"Well, than thats good you had some fun. Did you get sleep here?"
"Yah, I just woke up from my nap. Now I can probably gurantee you, I wont beable to sleep tonight."
Eric laughed. "I think you'll be good for this company. You seem like a funny girl. I just want to make sure your alright with everything. And please, feel free to be of assistance to any of the wrestlers. I know they'll like you."
Smiling I said, "Thanks Eric. So, I dont look, like, out of place or anything do I? Should I change into something better?"
"No, your good. Its a different look for us. We need variety. Now, today at the meeting, you'll just sit back take any kind of notes you might feel are important. At one point I'll ask you to hand out these papers here. Then after that, you can just chill."
"Easy. Now, my notes, what are some main things you need me to focus on?"
"Observe the crowd. Anything. I dont care if you write nothing, at least you'll look like your doing something. You have an easy job. One of the easiest."
"Wow, simple. Hey, so for just at Raw is really when I do things. Run around tell people when they're on, get someone when you need them? Be available at your every beckon call?"
"Thats the way it goes."
I smiled and took a seat closest to Eric as all the wrestlers came in. Feeling all they're eyes on me as wondering who I was I just smiled to myself and began to sing Collide's "Razor Sharp" in my head. Or at least I think it was in my head. It could've been just a soft whisper. As the room began to fill Stacy Keibler and Andrew Martin (Test) took a seat next to me. Stacy must've noticed I was new because right away she introduced herself.
"Hi, I'm Stacy and this is Andrew. You are?"
Turning my head to her I said, "Hello, Sarah Aurora. But to make it short call me either name."
"Hi Sarah. You new here?" asked Andrew as we shook hands.
"Yah, I'm Eric's new 'personal assistant'. I've been trying to get this job for years now."
"That's cool. I'm loving your pants, honey." Stacy said.
"Thanks."
"So are you a Testicle?" Stacy mocked at the name of that.
"No, I'm sorry. I'm a Hurri-fan. But shh. I'm a closet case. But I could be a Testicle or! I could just be a down right Hulkamaniac. Ha. But seriously, I think your cool, I just love a man who can run around with green hair and claim to be a superhero. Its great."
They both smiled at me and laughed a little. Then the meeting began. Eric greeted everyone nicely. Me and Stacy wrote notes back and forth throughout the meeting. When I had to pass out the packets I fumbled around nervously for awhile trying to count. Then when I came to Shane's row (Hurricane) and he was at the end I made eye contact with him and smiled and handed the papers and walked away.
At the end of the meeting Stacy and I made plans to go out later. So I stuck around the conference room and waited to talk to Eric for awhile. On the way back to the elevators I heard someone calling out to me.
"Miss. You dropped this." It was Shane running up behind me to hand me my room key.
"Thank you. I appreciate it. I would've been locked out."
We smiled at each other and just stood there in silence when Jeff walked up.
"Hey Shane. You going to introduce me or what?"
"Oh Jeff, this is.."
"Sarah Aurora. Call me whatever name."
"Right, Jeff, meet Sarah. Sarah meet Jeff."
"Nice to meet you Mr. Hardy. But I have yet to meet you."
"Oh Yes. I'm Shane."
"Hi. Well, it was nice metting you two. And thanks for returning my room key. I'll see you guys later possibly."
Smiling to myself as I turned around and began to walk back to the elevators. I love to leave a little mystery in an introduction. Its great and fun. Because they never get a good enough first impression so they ALWAYS come back for more.
