Well Well Well
"Okay girls wake up!" Jerry yelled.
Alexis rolled over in bed and looked at the clock. It only read six o'clock in the morning. Alexis buried her face in the pillow and let out a series of screams before getting up.
She left her bedroom and stormed into Laura's.
"What is up with the six o'clock wake up?" She asked furiously.
"Our bus gets here in like half an hour," Laura said wide-awake. "So can have the bathroom up here, I'll take the one downstairs."
Alexis walked back to her bedroom, got her things together and had a shower. She wasn't too impressed the previous night when Laura had told her that at school there was a dress code, the girls had to wear slacks and T-shirts, no tank tops were allowed and sweaters were only permitted if they had no pockets and were plain. The girls were also not allowed to show any signs of boobs, butts or belly buttons.
"I'm gonna have to wear the same thing all year," Alexis said.
So she rummaged through her clothes and found black slacks and a cute, tan colored T-shirt, although it was probably cutting it a bit close for the whole boobs rule.
"My dad made special arrangements with the principal this morning so that I could take you to the office and then you can come with me to all of my class," Laura said to Alexis on the bus.
"Great," Alexis said resting her head on the back of the seat and closing her eyes.
At the next stop three girls got on and then all wanted to talk to Laura. Alexis knew right off the bat that the year was going to be a complete failure.
'So much for a jumping senior year,' Alexis thought.

"So what'd you think?" Laura as her and Alexis got on the bus together.
Alexis gave Laura a look.
"Wrong time to have asked?" Laura asked.
"Just a little," Alexis said. "This school is much different that the one in New York."
"I bet," Laura said waving a girl that got on the bus.
"I just wanna go to bed and sleep this horrible experience off," Alexis said.
"Can't," Laura said. "We have to go to the arena."
"You work there too?" Alexis asked.
"Yeah," Laura answered. "I'm in charge of scheduling the times certain wrestlers get to practice in the ring."
"Exciting," Alexis said sardonically.

When Alexis and Laura got to the arena Alexis found the closest bathroom and changed into what she found more comfortable. She put on white pants that were slit to halfway up her calf and came up just below her navel and an orange top that exposed her entire midriff.
Alexis had been working for close to two hours when she took her first break. As soon as she left the room she found a scene which did not suit her well. There was an attractive male surrounded by tonnes of groupies, aka the enemy.
Alexis waited for the opportune moment when he started walking towards her. She found a side of him that wasn't completely covered in girls and in a relaxed way brushed right past him and with one hand she made sure that it grazed his ass.
He didn't stop walking but his head snapped around so fast that Alexis thought that he might get whiplash. She turned her head and saw his expression so she gave him a cunning wink, flipped her hair and continued on her way.
Then the moment that she waited for, all the girls made disheartened groans and she could hear him walking quickly.
"Hey," he yelled as she quickly, but smoothly, turned the corner.
"Yes?" She asked cutely.
"What was that all about?" He asked.
"What was what all about?" She asked as if nothing had happened.
"That whole thing," he said pointing back to where the incident had occurred.
"That was nothing," she said smiling. "Unless you're just making something up so that you could get away from the other girls and come over here and hit on me."
He smiled at her. "You're good," he said pointing at her and laughing.
"I'm good at everything," she whispered in his ear.
He raised his eyebrows at the comment.
"So you got a name or I am just gonna have to call you Adorable all the time?" Alexis asked.
"I'm AJ," the guy replied. "And the name of a fine woman like you would be?"
"Almost as hard to get as my number," she replied.
"Ow, that hurt," he said touching his chest where his heart would be. "You just gonna shoot me down and toss me aside?"
"Thinking about it," she said as she smiled.
"You've just been moved down to calling me Adorable," he said.
"Fine with me, AJ," she said and started walking away.
"C'mon now," AJ said jumping in front of her.
"I've only got like ten minutes left in my break," Alexis informed him.
"You work here?" He asked.
"No, I'm just here walking around because I'm homeless," Alexis replied.
"Well if you were I'd give up my bed for you," AJ said to her.
"You're just gonna have to work harder than that," she said and began to walk again.
"How?" AJ asked.
Alexis stopped and put her hand on his chest.
"Well AJ, just from looking at you I'd say that you're no strangers to ladies," Alexis said moving her hand around his chest with the tip of her finger. "So when you figure something out come and find me."
She patted his chest and then walked away. This time he didn't follow.
"Where exactly do you work?" AJ yelled.
"Figure it out," Alexis said walking backwards. "You're a smart one."
Then she turned the corner and left him standing there.

The next night at dinner everyone was silent as they ate their food until Jerry decided to make conversation.
"So Alexis, do you like your new school?" He asked.
"It's alright I suppose," Alexis said picking at her food.
"And how about you Laura?" Jerry asked.
"It's going good," Laura replied. "But I have a study group on tonight in an hour. Am I allowed to go?"
"Sure thing sweetie," Jerry said happily.
"May I be excused?" Alexis asked. "I have some homework."
"Of course," Sarah replied.
Alexis gave Laura a look and Laura almost dropped her fork.
"Umm…I was actually supposed to help Alexis for a couple minutes," Laura said.
"Then you can be excused as well," Jerry said. "What subject is this that you two have to work together?"
"Chemistry," both girls replied at the same time.
They ran upstairs, Laura ran to her room, got her books and then returned to Alexis' room.
"What's up?" Laura asked curiously.
"I met the absolute hottest guy last night," Alexis said quickly tying her long hair up into a ponytail.
"Did you happen to remember his name this time?" Laura asked.
"Yes," Alexis replied rolling her eyes. "I only forget the ugly ones."
"So?"
"So what?"
"What's his name?" Laura persisted.
"Oh," Alexis said laughing. "AJ."
"AJ? Like TNA AJ?" Laura asked wide-eyed.
"Yeah, why?" Alexis asked.
"Hottie!" Laura yelled and then covered her mouth. Both girls listened for either Jerry or Sarah walking up the stairs and when they heard nothing Laura continued. "What happened?"
"I made him work to talk to me," Alexis said proudly.
"How'd that go?" Laura asked curiously.
"He doesn't know my name," Alexis replied happily.
"What?" Laura asked. "How the hell does that help anything?"
"It helps everything," Alexis said. "Let me explain."
"Oh please do," Laura said. "Can't wait to hear this."
"Well ya see if I just gave him my name he would probably just forget it the moment he walked away, but this way he'll be thinking about me and how I was so smooth around him. I told him that if he wants to know he'll have to work for it and that he could find me some time later in the week," Alexis said. "So now I'll be on his brain until he sees me again."
"You've obviously had extensive practice," Laura said leaning against the bed.
"Actually, it was the first time I tried that," Alexis said. "And hopefully I won't have to use it again any time soon."
"So what are you hoping will come of this?" Laura asked.
"He'll be a nice pet," Alexis laughed. "I really don't know since your father probably won't allow me to date him."
"You don't know much about him, do you?" Laura asked.
"The extent of my learning about him stops at his name," Alexis replied and then thought. "That is a downer of the system."
"His last name is Styles, he's been working for the company for four years. And you probably don't want to know his age," Laura said stopping.
"Oh please don't tell me he's like thirty," Alexis said covering her eyes.
"Close," Laura replied. "He's twenty-seven."
"What?" Alexis asked surprised. "He looks like he's twenty-one!"
"Believe me, I know," Laura said.
"Oh well," Alexis said blowing off the comment. "So he's a little experienced."
Laura laughed at the comment. "There's still one more thing," she said getting more serious. "My father, along with most of the locker room, hates AJ."
"Why?" Alexis asked. "I'm liking him quite fine."
Laura shook her head almost in disbelief. "He thinks that he's the best at everything."
"I'd like for him to prove it to me," Alexis said laughing. "Are we working tomorrow?"
"You are," Laura said. "I'm not."
"Awesome," Alexis said standing up. "Will he be there?"
"Yeah, he's scheduled to be," Laura recalled. "Why?"
"Because then I'll need a cute outfit," Alexis said rummaging through her closet. "Do you know his favorite color?"
"I heard once that it was blue," Laura replied.
"Sweet," Alexis said pulling a blue spaghetti strap tank top out of the closet. "That'll look perfect with my white mini."
Laura had herself a small laugh and then stood up.
"I have to get going," she said stretching. "I have a study group tonight."
"Alright, don't have too much fun," Alexis joked as she put the two items of clothing together.

The following day when Alexis went to work AJ was nowhere to be seen. She even checked the practice schedule. His name was on it but it was scratched out and Abyss took him place.
When Alexis got home she finished her homework and went straight to bed.

The next day when Laura and Alexis got to school they were walking to class together when three girls stepped in front of them, they didn't look too happy.
"Yes Lindsay?" Laura asked innocently.
Alexis put her hand on Laura's shoulder. "How about you let me handle this one?" Alexis asked. Then she turned back to the three girls and got ready for anything that might come her way. "What the hell do you want?"
"Who the hell do you think you are?"Lindsay asked and pushed Alexis' shoulder. "You can't just come in here and act as if you own the place!"
"And just who's planning on stopping me?" Alexis asked with an malicious look.
She quickly glanced at the two other girls but they weren't ready to fight, they were only there to giveLindsay confident boosts.
Alexis relaxed her body, stood up straight, almost striking a pose, and shook her long hair. "You're not worth my time," Alexis said, pushedLindsay femininely out of her way and walked past her. She wasn't planning on getting too far.
Before Alexis had time for three steps she felt Lindsay's hand grab her arm and pull. The pull turned Alexis around. She hadn't even stopped the turn before she raised her hand and gaveLindsay a quick jab. The hit wasn't even a hard one but it sentLindsay to the floor holding her bloody nose. Alexis bent down beside Lindsay, glancing up at her friends and then looked into Lindsay's eyes.
"Next time when you want to pick a fight make sure you know how to fight. Now if you come near me again you won't be so lucky, I'll make sure that I break every bone in your face," Alexis spat. She brushed a few strands of hair out of Lindsay's face. "Is anyone going to hear about this?"
Lindsayshook her head no.
"That's a good girl," Alexis said stroking Lindsay's hair. Then she stood up and looked at Laura. "Shall we?"
"We shall," Laura said stepping over Lindsay, linking arms with Alexis and walking away.

"That was so awesome!" Laura yelled, laughing as they walked into the arena. "She was just all up in your face and you slugged her."
"Calm down," Alexis said laughing. "I don't want your dad to hear."
"Hello ladies," AJ said stepping in front of them.
"Hi AJ," Laura said beginning to lightly blush.
"Hey Laura," AJ replied. Then he turned to Alexis. "Sexy."
"Adorable," Alexis said returning the nod that he had given her.
"So how are you two?" AJ asked.
"We're fine," Alexis replied with a small smile.
"You don't have to be so vain," AJ said shaking his head. "But I do agree with you."
Alexis let a short giggle escape her lips but quickly covered her mouth.
"Ah, c'mon," AJ said taking her hand away from her mouth. "I saw that smile."
"We'd love to continue this conversation but we have to get to work," Alexis said regaining her strength of will. She began to walk away but she turned around. "I'll see you around Mr. Styles."
"Hey! How'd you know my last name?" He asked confused. Then a smile slowly spread across his face. "You've been asking around about me?"
"Maybe, maybe not," Alexis said shrugging.
"Well it's either that or you've already done extensive research about me," AJ said.
"Buh-bye," she said giving him a small wave.
Then she turned back around and continued on her way to the offices with Laura at her side.
"Whoa," Laura said walking quickly. "What was that all about?"
"What was what all about?" Alexis asked.
"The whole last name thing," Laura replied.
"Guys love it when girls place them high up on a pedestal," Alexis said shrugging. "I almost lost it in the beginning though. "I wasn't expecting him to be there."
"You are too much," Laura said laughing. "But why'd you blow him off? We still have fifteen minutes."
Alexis shook her head and laughed. "There's a tiny bit of hard to get in this scenario. And plus, he's getting desperate. He has no idea with as to why I'm not falling head over heels with his cute lines and puppy dog eyes."
"So?" Laura asked.
"So all in all it's been a pretty good day," Alexis answered.
