WWE High
Term Four
Chapter Four.
Edge and Christian were in the dark room at school developing some of the Yearbook Photos, over the past few days they had managed to do all the guys and themselves, obviously they hadn't spent as long on them as Torrie but they tried to keep their personal prefers to themselves.
"Hi look at this one of Torrie, she's almost falling out of her bikini!" Edge said excitedly. "That has to go in there! It could be the centrefold!"
Suddenly the door opened and light shone through into the room, Edge and Christian closed her eyes and covered their faces as the light was so intense.
"Close the door! Close the door!" Christian shouted at the figure in the doorway.
"Oh sorry guys, I forgot." Kurt said apologetically, closing the door and walking in.
"Never let too much light in here, else the photos will be ruined." Said Christian.
"Sorry guys, I'm really sorry, I forgot for a moment."
"Well don't forget again, jeez, we were just going with the Torrie photos, that was close." Sighed Edge.
Kurt looked over at the picture of Torrie, Edge and Christian had just been looking at and frowned to himself.
"Guys, this is a Yearbook, not a Playboy magazine." Kurt lectured.
"Oh Kurt, live a little, I think we've done pretty well, getting this Yearbook done, we've done Torrie, all the guys, us, you…"
"When did you do me?"
Edge and Christian looked at each other and laughed.
"Guys! What photo did you take of me?"
"Don't worry Kurt, Let's just say everyone will see a new 'side' to you!" Christian laughed.
"Edge! Tell me!" He said in a worried tone.
"Oh he's just exaggerating, the girls will love it."
"Talking of girls, have you done Stacey and Stephanie yet?" asked Kurt eagerly.
"No, not yet, but we will do them, they are the only ones we have left."
"Well do them quick, we only have three days till we have to show our results to the teacher, if I don't reach this deadline, my reputation could be ruined, I'm this close to being Val Victorian, please don't mess it guys, please!" Kurt begged.
"Kurt, we will get it done I promise, in fact we will call Stephanie and Stacey tonight and ask if they can do it tomorrow, I promise you, we have this all under control…" Edge said confidently, little knowing what lay ahead…
"What am I going to do?" said Stacey to her two best friends, Stephanie and Torrie. "I mean, Steph your going with Hunter and Torrie you've got Rocky, but I haven't got anyone."
The three girls sat in Stephanie's bedroom, talking, painting their nails and listening to music.
"Stacey, there are plenty of guys would die to go out with you."
"Yeah, but there all geeks, I can't go to the prom with a geek!"
"They're not all geeks, let's make a list." Stephanie smiled. Torrie got a piece of notepaper and started writing the list of guys suitable for Stacey.
"Ok, well let's get the worst over and done with, there's Kurt Angle."
"No way, in a million years!"
"But you already know him quite well, good personality…"
"Yeah about what about after the prom, you know when we…I don't want to do it with Kurt Angle."
"Ok, I see your point, cross off Kurt Torrie, right next guy, what about Jeff Hardy? Quite good looking in a scruffy sort of way, got his own motorcycle, plays guitar.."
"I don't know, he's in that weird group, it could be social suicide, plus he came back from the dead…" grimaced Stacey.
"He didn't come back from the dead, he wasn't dead in the first place." Torrie laughed.
"Well, I don't want to go with him anyway so you can stop sticking up for him."
"Fine, Torrie, cross Jeff off the list, next up…."
"Hey Stacey, I know who you could go with." Smirked Torrie "He's just recently come up on the market…"
"Who?"
"Chris Jericho."
"Yuck…I hate Chris Jericho." Snarled Stephanie.
"What did he actually do Steph, you never did tell us?" asked Torrie.
"I just hate him, that's all." Stephanie said quickly, wanting to change the subject.
"Ok, so we'll put him on the maybe pile." Said Torrie, sensing Stephanie's uneasiness. "Who's next?"
Stephanie leaned forward, concentrating herself on the task instead of thinking about how much she hated Jericho. "Oh I've got a good one, he'd be perfect for you." Stephanie exclaimed, surprised that she hadn't thought of him earlier. "Edge."
"Oh I know Edge, he's only after one thing." Laughed Torrie.
"Maybe but he's also funny to be with, good-looking, athletic, and Torrie, despite him thinking about sex almost all the time, he's never actually tried it on has he?"
"No."
"Exactly, he's the perfect gentleman. Stacey I definitely think you should go with Edge, he'll be good at the prom and im sure he will be alright for afters as well, if you know what I mean." Smiled Stephanie.
"But what if he just laughs in my face, it's suppose to be the guys who ask the girls."
"He's probably just shy."
"Edge shy!" Torrie laughed.
Stacey frowned, realising that it was obvious Edge didn't want to go with her, but Stephanie grabbed her shoulders and looked her in the eye.
"Who else is he going to go with? You are the perfect match."
Suddenly the phone rang and Stephanie raced over to get it, thinking it might be Hunter, he always rang in the evenings just to see how she was.
"Hello?…oh hello…we were just talking about you." Said Stephanie into the phone, winking at Stacey. "Yep just saying how charming and funny you are…no I'm not lying…anyway you wouldn't call me unless it was really important….the yearbook…really…me and Stacey….tomorrow night….yeah we will be there…I assure you….Hunter will be fine about it…and Stacey…well she's single anyway….ok…ill see you tomorrow then…ok…ok…bye."
Stephanie hung up the phone and screamed at Stacey and Torrie.
"Ahhh! You never believe this, but he wants me and Stacey to go do a shoot for the yearbook."
"Oh yeah, I did that last week." Torrie said.
"But it not just the yearbook Stacey, this is a perfect oppotunity for you to ask him out, Christian will there as well, I'm keep him busy and then it will be just you and Edge, I tell you honey, it's fate." Stephanie smiled.
"Maybe it is fate, I mean we were just talking about him."
"Of course it's fate, I tell you girl, you better start buying your prom dress cause you are going to the senior prom with Edge!" Stephanie laughed as the three girls hugged in excitement.
A new school day dawned at WWE High, though this day to the students was very important, it was the day that they got their SATS results back, the day that could confirm their future, not that was the first thing on Chris and Lita's mind, in fact it wasn't in their mind at all.
"Jeff!" Lita said excitedly as Jeff returned to school with his brother Matt. She ran up and gave him a big hug, Chris followed giving him a hug as well.
"Man, it's good to see you back, we've missed you around here." Said Chris.
"Yeah, I still can't believe it, we thought you were dead."
" I'm not going to die in some house explosion, I got nine lives." Jeff grinned.
"Eight lives now." Noted Lita. "So you made up now?" she asked looking at Jeff and Matt.
"Of course, blood is thicker than water." Said Matt.
"Oh God, don't you all start getting on soppy on us, come on let's start causing some trouble!" grinned Chris.
"Where's Trish?" asked Jeff.
"We broke up."
"Why?"
"She's just not part of the group anymore, four's better than five anyway, it's even." Chris said sternly.
Jeff was a bit suspicious to why Trish had suddenly been kicked out of the group but he didn't want to pressurize the subject so he kept quiet.
"So how about tonight we celebrate! Spray a few buildings, get drunk…"
"Sorry." Said Matt. "But me and Lita we gotta go get fitted for the prom, you know, my suit, her dress…"
"The prom! What you going to the prom for! We never go to the prom!"
"Exactly, this is the last one and I think we owe it to the school to go to one." Said Matt, putting his arm round his girlfriend Lita.
"Fine, I tell you, your turning more into a 'I love High School' couple everyday, if we aint been friends since kindergarten when we met in detention after pulling Miss Turner's chair away I would kick your ass for going to the prom."
"Thanks man, I knew you'd understand." Said Matt punching Chris mockingly before walking down the corridor with Lita.
"Look's like it's just you and me, wildman." Said Chris turning to Jeff.
"What you got in mind?"
Chris looked around the school entrance and saw Edge and Christian walking through the doorway, he smiled to himself, a plan forming in his mind.
"Walk with me Jeff, I have a few ideas…."
The bell rang and the senior class all gathered into their form room, they knew what was coming, some were anxious, others didn't really give a damn but they all knew that today was the day that they got their SATS results.
"Nervous?" asked Hunter to Stephanie.
"A bit." Stephanie said quietly.
"Well I'm sure your do brilliantly, plus tonight we can go the mall and get my tuxedo for the prom." Hunter said eagerly.
"Oh Hunter, I'm sorry but I've got plans with Stacey."
"Stacey? But you see her all the time, I told you about this a week ago."
"Well, it's for the Yearbook, see Edge and Christian want to do a shoot with Stacey and I, you remember you did a few photos last week, it's really important."
"You, alone with Edge and Christian…"
"Stacey will be there too, don't worry, they won't try anything." Stephanie smiled.
"Good." Hunter said gruffly, not convinced.
"Your not jealous are you?" Stephanie laughed.
"No, of course not." Said Hunter convincingly. "In fact I might see if Torrie can come with me, you don't mind do you?"
"Whatever Hunter." Stephanie smiled, before sitting down in her seat and facing to the front.
Shane looked over at Stacey who sat opposite him, waiting for a good moment to start a conversation. He had always had a secret crush on Stacey, well it wasn't really secret but Stacey didn't appreciate his attentions towards him and despite being lab partners for the whole year, they had never become friends.
"So Stephanie tells me your looking for a date to the prom?" He asked, looking at Stacey.
"So?" She replied looking down on Shane.
"Just saying that I might be available for a gorgeous girl like you."
"Over my dead body." Sneered Stacey.
"Just saying, it looks like you haven't had any offers and your running out for time."
"I've had offers, thank you very much and I've got my eye on someone, in fact this time tomorrow I will have a date for the prom, so there!"
"Ok class, quieten down, quieten down." Shouted the teacher as she entered the room. She opened up her briefcase and pulled a white sheet of paper with a list of numbers on them, most of the students stared at the white piece of paper, knowing what was on it.
"Now I can tell you, that I have your SATS results here in front of them, remember these results as they will be the most important results you will ever get and will determine the University or College you may to go to and…"
"Oh cut the crap and get on with it!" shouted Chris from the back of the room.
"You of all people Chris should listen to what I am saying, why don't we just go have a look what you got on the SATS, Mr Jericho…"
As the teacher searched for his results, everyone laughed in their seats, everyone knew Chris had never studied in his life and this result was going to be embarrassing for him.
"Here we go Chris Jericho, 142." The teacher said slowly almost to add dramatic effect, it worked as everyone gasped in amazement and turned around to face Chris.
"You may be surprised to know that 142 is the highest mark in the whole class."
"Bloody hell Chris, you're a genius!" shouted Matt.
"Hey, tell me something I don't know." Chris said cockily, leaning back in his chair as everyone looked in shock. Chris was now top of the class.
"I can't believe you are top of the class." Said Matt.
The group sat in a booth at Burger Barn for lunch discussing the SAT results they had just received.
"Hey the SATS test how clever you are, not how much you study." Lita noted as Chris grinned to himself in his seat.
"Still with that result, you can get into any University in the country, what you gonna do?"
"I don't know." Replied Chris casually. " Maybe I go to some Music College and form me own rock band, yeah that be cool, anyways what do you guys get?"
"Err, 92." Mumbled Matt.
"Err, 88." Laughed Lita. "According to the chart, I'm way below average which is just a nice way of saying I'm fucking thick."
"Maybe so, but your still fucking hot!" laughed Matt giving her a kiss on the lips.
"I wonder how those lot got on." Jeff said, motioning towards the rest of the senior class who were seated on the other side of Burger Barn. "I bet there pissed off you got 1st place."
"Yeah." Chris smiled, looking over at the group.
The group sat around a booth, some were laughing and having fun although everyone knew in the back of their minds that some people had not done well and sat ignoring the fun munching sadly away at their fries.
"Come on Christian, it isn't the end of the world." Said Edge, jokingly punching him on the shoulder. "You don't need SATS, you got lots of other talents."
"Like what?"
"Well not everyone has the guts to be a male cheerleader." Laughed Rocky.
"Yeah, ever thought of going into Dancing?" laughed Edge.
"How about Ballet!" joked Rocky, pretending to do a little ballet dance.
"Oh shut up." Said Christian gruffly. "You didn't do so good either Rocky."
"I got more than you."
"Only by 10 points."
"More is still more Christian." Rocky said, grabbing his hamburger and taking a big bite of it, mayonnaise dripping out the bottom.
"So Hunter, what did you get? With all the studying you do, you must have got at least 120." Said Edge, looking over at him.
Hunter just stared at the table, twirling his straw in his milkshake.
"Not good" Mouthed Stephanie who sat next to him.
"Oh come on Hunter, it can't be that bad, what did you get?" asked Rocky, talking with hamburger still in his mouth which grossed out the girls.
"115." He said quietly.
"Hey, that's a brilliant score, what you all glum about, you're like 4th in the class with that score."
"It doesn't matter about positions" Muttered Hunter still staring at his milkshake.
"What do you mean?" asked Torrie.
"I mean, it's not good enough, to get into Harvard, Yale or even Stanberry I need at least 120, what's the point? What am I going to do now?"
"Hunter, you don't need to go to those schools and I'm sure they don't just look at your SATS anyway, once they see all your achievements they will be fighting to get you come to their University." Stephanie said, trying to reassure her boyfriend.
"She's right, you're a perfect candidate." Said Edge.
"Thanks guys, but I know what it takes to get into there and I just don't have it" Hunter said.
His friends looked to tell him otherwise, but he shifted along the bench and out of the booth. "Ill see you lot later."
"Did you want me to come with you?" asked Stephanie seeing he was upset.
"No, I just want to be on my own." He replied, before walking out the door.
"Wow, he must really be upset." Said Rocky.
"Rocky, be a little more tactful." Said Torrie.
"What! It was a compliment to Steph, what you all looking at me like that for!" He replied, holding up his hands.
"I think we should all just forgot about the SATS and concentrate on better things like graduation and the prom!" cheered Christian.
"Yeah and more importantly what happens after the prom!" Said Edge enthuasticly giving Rocky a high five.
"So Edge got a date yet?" asked Stacey seductively.
"Hey, I got candidates, it's just a matter of looking through them all and picking the best."
"Maybe I could give you some inspiration." Winked Stacey as she sat closer to Edge.
"Maybe so." Edge smiled back.
"Ok guys, time to go, we still got half a day of lessons to go." Said Christian looking at his watch and climbing out of his seat.
"Oooo, why you in such a rush?" asked Torrie.
"That's easy,. Christian's still gotta find a date haven't you?" joked Rocky.
"Very funny." Muttered Christian.
"You know, don't think I haven't noticed the chemistry between you and Kurt, maybe I could match you two up?" said Edge, winking at his brother, who just ignored him and turned to look at Steph and Stacey. "See you two after school?"
"You bet." Said Steph sarcastically giving him a thumbs up.
"Just be there Okay." Christian said before leaving the Burger Barn, a few moments later the others left grudgingly ready for more happy cheerful learning.
"I can't believe he didn't ask me out!" Stacey said in an annoyed home as she walked home from Edge and Christian's house with Stephanie after the Yearbook Shoot. "I mean we spent the whole evening, laughing, joking, having fun, I dropped hints about the prom loads of time but he still didn't ask me!"
"I don't know what to say, I saw the way he was looking at you, he totally likes you, I thought he would ask you out."
"I'm beginning to think something's wrong with me, I'm the third most popular girl in school, after you and Torrie, yet I can't get a date for the prom!" Stacey said, stamping her feet on the ground.
"Calm down, I'm sure he will ask you, there is no way Edge is going to the prom without a date, just wait to tomorrow at school and I'm sure he will ask."
"But what if it doesn't? I can't go to the senior prom without a date, that would be the most humiliating thing in the world!" said Stacey looking at Stephanie hoping for some inspiration.
"Well if he doesn't ask you before the prom, I guess you are going to have to go with my brother!" laughed Steph.
"Noooo!" despaired Stacey as she walked down the street.
They crossed over the road as they walked past the school, surprisingly some lights were still on though the girls assumed it was some club that was going on.
Suddenly they heard footsteps coming down the road, walking up towards the school.
"Who's that?" asked Stacey.
Stephanie quickly grabbed Stacey's arm and pulled her over to the kerb, leaning down as they watched to figures walk up the pathway into the school. They both wore leather jackets and jeans, the collars turned up, they were laughing about something, Stacey looked at and saw that one of them had multi-coloured hair and she realised at once who they were.
"It's Jeff and Chris!" she exclaimed.
Stephanie quickly put her hand over Stacey's mouth so she wouldn't attract any more attention, they watched as Jeff and Chris opened up the doors into the school and went inside.
Steph finally let go and pulled herself up.
"I wonder why they're going to into the school so late?" said Stacey, looking at the direction of the school.
"I don't know and neither do I care." Said Steph gruffly. "Come on, let's go." She said, continuing to walk up the road, towards home.
Edge and Christian stood in the dark-room, they wouldn't normally come to the school so late but the Yearbook deadline was nearing and would be better to get the Stephanie and Stacey photos developed straight away.
"These photos came out pretty well." Noted Christian, hanging some of the pictures up.
"Yeah, this Yearbook is so gonna rule!"
"Saw you checking out Stacey today, I don't think she has a date for the prom you know." Said Christian casually.
"Oh don't tell me, you've become match-maker now."
"But you can't deny Stacey is hot, I would ask her out myself, except she has it fixed in her head that I'm gay, to be honest I've probably got more hope going to the prom with Kurt after all than any girl."
"Remember freshman prom, when we had dates but they went to the bathroom and never came back." Edge laughed.
"Hey, it wasn't funny then, I was announced King but there was no Queen!" Christian moaned.
"I don't understand why they didn't like us, we were perfect gentleman." Said Edge.
"Well you have to admit we were total freshman dorks."
"You still are!" laughed Edge.
"Those were the days." Sighed Christian, putting up another photo. "So you gonna take Stacey to the prom or what?"
"Ill make my own decisions thankful very much, maybe you should just concentrate on finding yourself a girl that doesn't think your gay."
"No-one in this school then." Muttered Christian.
Edge suddenly looked at his watch, putting up the last photo.
"Hey, we better go now, the school's going be closing soon and we gotta get home."
"But we've got to get these pictures developed."
"Don't panic, we can do it tomorrow first thing."
"Fine." Said Christian.
He left the photos and went over to the door, opening it wide.
"Christian! The light!" Edge said, running up to him.
"Alright, Alright, just come on out and then I can close the door."
Edge walked out, closing the door behind him. "Should we lock it?"
"No, what's the point, we will be here first thing tomorrow, no-one is going to come in at this time."
"Ok."
Edge and Christian walked away leaving the photo-room unlocked…
"Quiet, there might be cleaners still around." Said Chris, motioning Jeff to walk forward. There came across a red door and Chris squinted to have a look at the silver plate, which said what room it was.
"I think this is it, now go in slowly."
Jeff opened up the door, blackness enveloped him as Chris followed into the centre of the room. Jeff's eyes slowly came adjusted to the light and saw all around him photos hanging up on lines and some on the piles on the side.
"This is the photograph room." Said Jeff looking at the photos.
"Exactly. Edge and Christian and Kurt were nominated to do the Yearbook, these are the photos."#
"That's explains why they are all off Stacey and Steph, oh look he's a few of Torrie, wow! How come they never took photos of us?"
"Well since they are not having a yearbook with us in it, there's no point in a yearbook at all." Chris smirked.
Jeff always on the same wavelength as Chris turned to his friend and smiled.
"Do you want us to destroy all the photos?" asked Jeff, grabbing one and preparing to rip it.
"Oh no, there's no need to rip, it's much simpler than that."
Chris walked over to a light switch and turned it on, Jeff squinted at the intensity of the light.
"What's that going to do?"
"Light destroys the photos Jeff, especially if they are not fully developed, if we leave it on all night, the photos will be ruined by morning."
"Oh yeah, I forgot you're smart."
"Well I gotta use my intelligence for something." Laughed Chris.
They quietly left the room, leaving the light on as they closed the door.
"Let's see if Edge and Christian find this funny." Joked Chris as him and Jeff ran out of the school….
In the Next Chapter.
The prom is approaching. Everyone is preparing for the event ahead except for Edge and Christian who are in a race against time to complete the yearbook…
Will Stacey manage to get a date for the prom?
Plus…
Stephanie hopes for a fairytale night with Hunter but could it all be ruined by the appearance of Chris….
ALL WILL BE REVEALED IN THE FINAL EVER CHAPTER OF WWE HIGH!
