WWE High
Term TwoChapter Four.
"Yo man, nice wheels." Rob shouted walking over to Hunter's car. "How ya doing?"
"Cool man cool, me and the guys just talking about the football match this Friday."
Rob leaned against the car next to Edge.
"Hey, watch the paintwork, gotta keep it clean."
"For Stephanie." Edge added. "How'd it go last night anyway, get a little action?"
"No it was all business."
"Oh shame." Christian laughed.
"Hey, I'm playing it slow, she wants me for sure, just gotta take my time."
"If you take your time any more, it be graduation before you get together."
"I tell you by the time, the play is over, she will be smitten."
"Wanna bet?" Rob smirked.
"No way! That's where I went wrong last time, I keeping it clean this time, no-one is going to mess it up."
"Man, you're not even together and she got you whipped!" Edge laughed, giving Christian a high five.
Hunter just ignored them and turned to Rob.
"So, geared up for the game?"
"Yeah course I am, coach says we got a real good chance of getting to the play-offs this year."
"Yeah, it's going to be a great night." Christian cheered.
"What? Doing cheers." Laughed Rob.
"Cheerleading is very important you know and fun." Christian said, defending himself.
"Sure it is. 5, 6, 7, 8, go Team!" Edge joked.
"Yeah well…whilst you spend your time, getting pushed in the mud, I'm exercising and lifting up hot girls…including your girlfriend, Rob." Christian boasted.
"I'm not jealous, I mean from what I've heard Torrie considers you as one of the girls."
"What!"
RING, RING! The bell rang to signal the start of school.
"Oh look, guess I have to go to class." Said Rob walking away.
"Wait, Torrie doesn't think I'm.."
"Bad luck brother." Laughed Edge grabbing his shoulder. "Come on, we gotta get to Geography."
"I'm so glad your back!" Trish laughed, kissing Chris on the neck as they walked along the corridor.
"Hey save it for our date tonight Trish, tell me what's been happening this I was gone, you lot raising any havoc?"
"Not exactly, Matt and Jeff fell out, apparently, I mean I wasn't there but Matt ratted on his brother and Jeff ended up in prison cell, they ain't been talking since…"
"Don't make my first day back depressing Trish, I'm sure there work it out, I want the whole school to know I'm back." Said Chris opening his locker.
"Yeah, those jocks have be walking around like they own the place, especially Hunter he got the lead part in the production of Romeo and Juliet."
"Really? Whose Juliet, no wait, let me guess, the rich bitch Stephanie McMahon."
"You got it."
"How sweet, it's like a fairytale." Chris said sarcastically.
"Do I sense an evil plan coming on?" said Trish slyly.
"Ummm, I don't know but tonight I want to have some fun..get Matt, Jeff, Lita, beers and a car…"
"I thought you said we would go out alone tonight."
"We will babe, afterwards, you can come back to my place, Mum and Dad are out for the night, we got it all to ourselves, how's that sound babe."
"That sounds great, but I don't think Jeff will be coming out."
"What do ya mean?"
"Well Matt and Jeff had a fight during History and Jeff got sent to the principal, he said that if he don't pass the history exam then he'll be coming to school during the holidays."
"Man, this place has fallen apart without me!"
"He'll probably have to stay in very night to study."
"No way, is he gonna do that, he'll pass that history exam."
"But how, he don't know shit about history."
"That may be true but I sense an evil plan coming on."
"What!" said Trish excitedly.
"I've just thought of a way to have Jeff past that exam and ruin Hunter's dream world as well."
"Tell me, Tell me."
RING RING.
The bell rang.
"What's our first lesson?" asked Chris.
"Geography."
"Come on, let's bunk off, We don't need to learn about stupid countries, people can just buy an atlas."
Chris put his arm round Trish as they went down towards the woods.
"So what's your plan?" asked Trish eagerly.
"All in good time babes, all in good time." Chris laughed.
Kurt nervously knocked on Stacey's front door. Wow, he was here at Stacey's house, this be something to tell the boys, no wait after this he'll have new friends, cool friends, yeah he will be the new hottie of the school.
"Hello Kurt."
Kurt awoke from his daydream and stared at Stacey's revealing outfit.
"Er..hel..lo..Stacey." Kurt stammered.
"Now I haven't got all day, but we'll going to meet Torrie at the mall, to get you some new clothes, did you bring money?"
"Yeah $100."
"Well that ain't gotta get you far, but it will have to do."
"No it will, my mum said that there's a Unico(a cheap outlet store) at the mall and you got 3 t-shirts for 10$, and there decent t-shirts too, they got a fish on them, fishes are cool."
Stacey grimaced at the hard task ahead.
"Ok, first lesson, never take fashion advice from your mum and second never mention that Unico store again, Ok?"
"Ok, but you can pick up some real bargains there."
"Just get in the car Kurt." Stacey said impatiently.
Stacey and Kurt met Torrie at the entrance to the mall and they immediately went into a men's fashion store.
Kurt browsed around and a pair of jeans caught his eye, he looked at the price tag and gasped.
"$60 for a pair of jeans, you got to kidding me!"
"Kurt, don't look over there, that's where all the cheap and naff stuff is." Torrie called.
Cheap and naff? You don't get cheap and naff for $60, did the president where these clothes or something? Kurt thought as he walked over to Stacey and Torrie.
"Go try on this T-shirt."
"Look at it, it's got all rips in it, I'm going to complain to the manager, they can't sell this!"
"Kurt, these are designer rips."
"Designer rips?"
"There suppose to be there."
"Oh." Kurt said, still confused as to why there would be rips in a T-shirt.
"Now try that on, and this, and this, and this trousers, awww, that shirt will look good on you, and that, and that, ok that's that about it."
Kurt stumbled as they piled on clothes for him to try on.
"I don't think we I can afford all this."
"Don't worry, I saw a credit card in your wallet, you can use that."
"No! My mum said that was only for emergencies."
"What did I say about taking advice from your mum and anyway this is an emergency, you wanna be cool, you need those clothes." Stacey ordered.
Kurt grudgingly went into the changing-rooms, he was beginning to wonder whether being cool was worth this ordeal with Torrie and Stacey.
"Why do I have to carry all the bags." Moaned Kurt.
"Remember the agreement, you would be our personal slave and that includes carrying bags." Laughed Torrie.
Kurt walked slowly trying to juggle the bags as he followed Torrie and Stacey in a shoes shop.
"Hey, I don't need any shoes."
"Yeah but we do! you can just wait on the bench outside if you want." Laughed Torrie and Stacey as they tried on some high heels.
"Don't be too long." Said Kurt politely.
"Hey, this is our trip too, you better start putting bags in other bags cause we got loads more shopping to do!"
Great. Thought Kurt. Just Great.
Edge, Hunter and Rob were on the football field with the rest of the team, training for their big match.
"Ok Team, let's take a break for the moment, come over here."
The team walked over to see the coach standing next to a man in a suit.
"Now this Mr Galliano, he works for the NFL and is a talent scout, he'll be watching our training sessions and the game this week, he's looking for new talent to take to the trials in New York."
"Wow." Mouthed the team.
"Now there's no need to suck up to him, but I do want you playing your best, so let's show him what we'll made of!"
"Yeah!" shouted the team.
"Now take five and then back on the field."
Edge, Hunter and Rob walked over to the drinks stand, smiling at Mr Galliano.
"Can you believe it, one of us could be playing for the NFL." Said Edge.
"Yeah one of us." Smiled Hunter, brushing his hair in the window reflection. "Like me."
"Hey, he don't care about your image, he's looking for real football talent, I mean I'm the fastest on that pitch." Boasted Rob.
"With that attitude you won't be able to fit your big head threw the changing-room door." Laughed Edge.
"Come on guys, he's only looking and he'll be looking even more if we win, so let's just concentrate on the match." Ordered Hunter.
"Ok, I guess your right."
The guys suddenly froze when Mr Galliano walked over.
"Wazz up guys?"
"Hello Mr Galliano, I'm Rob, the teams' star quarterback, I'm a real big fan, it's nice of you to come out here from new York…"
"Talk-about sucking up." Whispered Edge to Hunter as Rob babbled on.
"Hi, I'm Hunter Hearst Helmsley, captain of the team, maybe I could show you around the school afterwards, we got some great facilities…"
My God, Now I am not going to lower myself by sucking up, he'll recognize the real talent. Thought Edge, not some wannabes like Rob and Hunter.
"Hey wait up! My name's Edge, I play…" Edge called running up to Mr Galliano.
"I really don't think we should be doing this, I mean I'm on thin ice already."
Jeff said to Chris as they sneak along the school corridor, it was around 6.00 and most of the teachers had gone home, Chris had told Jeff about his plan to make him pass his history exam and get Hunter at the same time.
It had sounded good but now they were actually carrying it out, Jeff didn't sound so sure.
"Come on Jeff, where's your sense of adventure, now just follow me."
Jeff followed Chris towards the principal's office and stood by the door.
"Can you hear anything?" Chris asked.
"No, it's silent, he must have left."
"Good."
Chris opened the door and peered round. "All clear, let's go."
They crept round and Chris immediately went to a filing cabinet, opening it, he browsed through the papers.
"December, Senior History Exam, here it is."
"You're stealing the test paper!" Jeff exclaimed.
"Even better, the test paper with the answers on." Chris smirked.
"Why did I ever become your friend?" Jeff laughed.
"Cause I can save your butt from summer-school."
Jeff laughed as he glanced through the paper. "But how is this going to affect Hunter?"
"Well, he's in the same class as you, taking the same test, your sit alphabetically and your always behind Hunter, so use the notes then sneak them in his bag, then when the bell rings, ill knock over his bag right in front of the teacher and she'll see the cheat notes, I'm thinking suspension, so what do you think? Is that a great plan or what?"
"Chris, do those look like car keys to you?" Jeff said in a worried tone.
Chris turned around and saw some car keys on the desk.
"You need a car key to drive a car right?" asked Jeff.
"Shit, he must still be in the building!" Chris said looking out of the door.
Suddenly they heard footsteps coming down the hallway.
Chris and Jeff froze.
"Quick Hide!" Chris whispered racing behind the filing cabinet whilst Jeff went under the desk.
The principal walked into the room seconds later and closed the door. Chris and Jeff held their breath.
"Oh there they are." He said grabbing the keys. "Wait a sec, what's this?"
Oh shit. Chris thought as he realised he left the exam on the desk.
"The History exam, what's that doing out? Oh well, ill just put it back in Mr filing cabinet."
Chris pushed his head down as he came towards the filing cabinet, he looked over to see Jeff scrunched up under the desk.
Finally the principal headed towards the door and left the room, closing the door shut.
"Phew that was close." Said Jeff as he climbed out from under the desk.
"Yeah, I must be losing my touch."
"Come on, just grab the exam and lets' get out of here."
Chris took the exam and pulled on the doorknob. It wouldn't open.
"Chris, open the door now!"
"I can't!"
"You not telling it's.."
"It's locked Jeff, he locked us in." said Chris in a panic voice.
"Wait, let me see." Said Jeff, he pulled at the doorknob hard and the door swung open knocking him to the floor, Jeff looked up to Chris laughing his ass off.
"I scared ya for a minute there! You should have seen your face when you thought the door was locked, ah, I'm such a great actor."
"You better go now before I punch your lights out." Threatened Jeff.
"Oooo, I'm so scared!" Chris said sarcastically.
Jeff leapt to his feet and Chris ran out the room, laughing his way down the corridor.
It was the night of the football match. Hunter, Edge and Rob were gearing themselves up in the locker-room, under the close eye of Mr Galliano.
Outside, the stadium was full of fans from both schools, waiting for their teams to come out.
Stephanie, Torrie, Christian and Stacey where cheerleading at the edge of the field as the cheer ended Stephanie looked up into the stands to see a familiar but not so familiar face.
"Hey Torrie, is that Kurt Angle up there? He looks so…different."
"Yep, he sure does, he went to the mall with us."
"Why?" asked Stephanie suspiously.
"Erm…no reason, he just offered to carry our bags, I mean it's better then ordering a trolley."
"You two are up to something." She said quietly.
Stephanie looked up again and Kurt spotted her, waving eagerly, she waved back, still not believing it was Kurt.
"Ok people, please welcome our two teams…"
The loudspeaker sounded the two teams across the stadium as everyone watched the players come out.
"Go Rob!" Torrie shouted as Rob blushed a deep red trying to ignore Torrie's glance. He was all football today.
"Hi Stephanie." Hunter cheered from across the field.
"Hi Hunter" She waved before rolling her eyes.
Edge laughed at Christian as he walked past
"Shouldn't you be cheering Christian?" Edge smirked.
"You just jealous!" Christian called back.
The game began and the fans settled back in their seats. Mr Galliano sat on the bench with the coach and subs, watching the teams movement and play.
Stephanie went up to sit next to Kurt.
"So Kurt, you look different, are these new clothes?"
"Yeah, there totally wicked man." Said Kurt doing a few hand motions.
"Right…there must have cost a lot?"
"Actually No, these trousers were $70, named brand as well, not from Unico, named brand, look at the label." Kurt said trying to impress Stephanie.
"Oh no." Torrie sighed looking up at the sight.
"We still got an awful lot of work to do." Said Stacey.
"You got that right."
The game had finished and the WWE High Team had won, the team celebrated in the locker-room with the coach who ended up getting totally soaked with orangeade.
Rob got changed and headed out, leaving the other guys to it, he wanted to get home early to study for the history exam tomorrow.
"Hey Rob, wait up!"
Rob turned around to see Mr Galliano running up towards him.
"Mr Galliano! Did you see the match?"
"I sure did, you guys were great."
"Yeah, I mean no offence to the other team but we totally crushed them tonight."
"You know I was watching and you were pretty good out there, I just been talking to coach and I think you have what it takes."
"What? You want to take me to the trials."
"We have a spot open for you in New York, If you want to of course."
"I'd love to, thanks a lot man, will I really be in the NFL?"
"That's up to you and your determination."
"Hey, I'm all about determination, thank you so much!"
Rob excitedly hugged Mr Galliano, but then realising our stupid he looked, he shook hands.
"Welcome to the NFL." Mr Galliano said smiling at Rob.
Jeff was nervous. Luckily for him, he sat right at the back of the class and behind Hunter's big body, the teacher could hardly see him. The test had lasted an hour and a half and there were only a few minutes left. His paper and the answer paper lay in front of him, he had been careful not to copy it exactly and even put in a few wrong facts so not to make it look suspicious, he knew was wrong but he needed to pass this test and it was too late to turn back now.
Using the test was easy, the hardest part was planting it on Hunter.
His bag lay on the ground, the holdall open so Jeff could see his books inside. Hunter was busy working, trying to get the last few questions in.
Come on Jeff, it's easy, just slip it in.
Reaching down, he slipped the paper alongside Hunter's folder.
Bang!
Jeff froze as Hunter drop his pencil the other side of the table, he leaned down and quick as a flash, Jeff shoved the paper into his bag and sat back up.
Hunter turned around and stared at Jeff.
"Did you just do something?" He asked suspiously.
"No, nothing." Jeff said back.
Hunter turned back around again and luckily for Jeff the bell suddenly rang.
"Would all students pass their tests to the front and leave in an orderly fashion."
Hunter quickly grabbed his bag, not looking inside and headed to the door, he was in a rush as he had drama practice with Stephanie.
Jeff saw Chris standing up the doorway, an evil glint in his eye when he saw Hunter.
SMASH!
Just as planned, Chris knocked over Hunter's bag and the contents splattered onto the floor.
"Hey, what you do that for you jerk!" Hunter shouted.
"Hey sorry it was an accident." Said Chris, trying to act the innocent.
"Let me help you." Said the teacher coming to Hunter's aid. This was the moment of truth.
"Hunter Hearst Helmlsey, what is this?" said the teacher holding up the incriminating paper in her hand.
"That isn't mine, I've never seen it before in my life."
"It's the answers to today's test!" Chris shouted out, watching everyone's reaction.
"I swear I've never seen that before in my life, I wouldn't cheat, I've never cheated in my life." Hunter shouted.
"Hunter, it was in your bag, I'm sorry but I've got no other choice, your paper will be cancelled and you are to go to the principal's office straight away, go now!" the teacher ordered.
"I didn't do anything! Someone put in my bag, I didn't even know the school had these!"
"Go now!"
Hunter walked off to the principal's office and the rest of the class left the classroom, off to tell their mates about what happened.
Chris clasped a hand on Jeff's shoulder as he walked out.
"Good work man, good work, now your get an A and we teached that smarty-ass clown a lesson, what a day!"
Jeff smiled back at Chris, if only Chris knew that Hunter was probably the one who cut his brakes on the bike that day, what would he do to him then?
Edge sat with Christian at the canteen eating lunch.
"Can you believe Hunter would cheat in the test, it just don't sound like him." Said Christian munching on his sandwich.
"You know it's not as far out as it seems, he's had on so much, football, the drama play, Stephanie, he ain't got the time to worry about a stupid history test."
"Yeah, bit stupid though to leave the cheat notes in your bag, he's smarter than that."
"I'm a bit worried you know, he could be suspended for this you know, we taken off the football team, we need him if we wanna win the championship this year." Said Edge thoughtfully.
"I bet he was set up you know." Said Christian.
"By whom?"
Christian was cut short when Rob suddenly sat at the table.
"Oh here's Mr NFL." Edge said sarcastically.
"Hey man, there's no need to be jealous, he took the right man."
"Well that match it was just an off day, if he saw me at my best, I'd be going to New York." Said Edge confidently.
"But you not, I am, I tell I can't wait, playing in New York, touring the country with the stars."
"Come on man, you only made it to trials, you're not on the team yet." Christian added.
"They only pick 100 odd from over 10,000 people, I tell getting to the trials is the hardest part."
"So when you going to New York?"
"Well Mr Galliano, gave me some forms and stuff, I should be going in February, and Ill miss a lot of school, cool or what!"
"Have you told Torrie yet?"
"Nah, not yet, so did you hear what happened to Hunter in history?"
"Yeah, it ain't good."
"Why? What's going to happen to him?"
"Don't know, he's in the principal's office right now."
"Of all the people, I didn't expect you to be involved in cheating, what were you thinking?" The principal said looking at Hunter.
"I didn't do it Ok."
"Look, there's no point lying about it, you cheated on that test."
"Why don't you just go look at it, then you see it's not the same as the answer paper."
"I'm sorry but it's been cancelled, the mark won't count in your final grade."
"So what now?" said Hunter in annoyed tone.
"This act will not go unpunished, and if you weren't such a good student and captain of the football team you'd be looking at suspension, but I'm willing to give you another chance."
"Thank you sir, I do realise the situation…" said Hunter standing up.
"I'm taking you off the production."
"What!"
"If have got to sort out your priorities, your grades are more important then the Drama production, you need to concentrate on your studies."
"But I play the lead part, me and Stephanie we've put so much work into it, it will all go the waste, the first performance is next week, you don't understand…"
"I'm sorry Hunter but it's your own fault, your lucky your not getting suspended, you should be thankful."
"But…"
"A replacement for Romeo will be decided tomorrow, now if would please leave."
Realising the principal wasn't going to listen to him, he left heading to his locker.
"Hunter!"
Hunter turned around to see Stephanie.
"What happened? I heard about the test, what did the principal say?"
Hunter looked at Stephanie. Oh Great, the one person he didn't want to disappoint.
How was he going to tell Stephanie that he couldn't be Romeo?
In the Next Chapter.
A replacement is named for Romeo plus the girls have a sleepover in the last chapter of the term.
