Chapter 9

The next morning was a blur, with exchanging phone numbers and last
minute packing, it was sort of like camp with less tears. Around
twenty wrestlers gathered in the main hall with their bags, waiting
for Vince to give them the ok to leave. Corinne was in Amy's room,
watching as Amy, who had woken up a half an hour late tried to throw
everything in her bag. In record time, five minutes later, Corinne
lugged Amy's duffel bag down the stairs as Amy finished putting on her
make up and clothes. She was halfway down the stairs when Jeff walked
over to help her, while Amy slid down the banister of the stairs.

"Whew. That was fun. Thanks Cori!" She said smiling and taking her bag
back.

"Alright, is everyone here now?" Mr. McMahon asked, "Fine. I just
wanted all of you to know that I'm very happy with everything that I
have seen this week. According to Shane all of you worked amazingly
hard and I can't wait to see the fruits of our labor in the ring in
the next coming weeks. You're all free to go. See you on Monday in
Cincinnati. Good-bye folks. The limos will be here soon and all of you
who brought your own cars, I believe they all should be in the
driveway. Enjoy your day off."

"Aww, bye Corinne. I'm gonna miss you. I can't believe we only met
last week. You make sure you call me when you get back to school." Amy
said giving her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"Bye Aims, I'll make sure to call." Corinne said returning the hug,
then turned around to be pulled into another hug by Jason and Adam.

"We'll miss ya Rinnie-rinne-rinne."

"Oh, bye guys. Stop acting like we're never gonna see each other
again, you're gonna make me cry." Corinne said, before once again
being pulled into a hug by Shane and Shannon. Shannon soon let go,
but Shane draped his arm around her.

"Now, listen here babe, I've written up my email address, cell phone
number, home number, and beeper number. If you ever need any sugar you
know who to call." He said, winking at her. "Or if someone's bugging
you, you still give me a call and I'll make sure I'll come down and
beat the crap out of them."

"Umm...Thanks Shane."

"Hey, I want a hug too." Matt said pouting his lips.

"Bye Matt," She giggles as she kissed him on the cheek.

Then she turned around one more time and encountered Jeff.

"Hey you." He said.

"Hey yourself," she answered back.

"Good, now that we haven't said good bye, I'm just gonna give you a
hug and hold my breath until I see you in Chicago right? I refuse to
say good-bye to you. It won't be a good bye I really will miss you."
He said.

"I'll miss you too Jeff." She said and returned the hug. He leaned
down and kissed her on the forehead.

She watched as he went into the limo along with the rest of the group
and was surprised when as the limo was driving down the driveway he
stuck his head out of the sunroof.

"I expect a call tonight or else!" He yelled. Then waved until they
were out of sight.
