Chapter 5

The Time is Now

-June 2nd 2001-

The seniors all stood together in the auditorium waiting for the principal to start the ceremony for that night.

"Listen up students. Tonight is the night that you guys graduate. Now we wish you all the best of luck." Said the principal.

-Later that night-

Mr. Cena stood with his youngest daughter AJ. "Now AJ no running off now."

AJ sighed and leaned up against the wall. "Who said I was trying to run away?"

"I didn't say it. I just want you to stay here for your siblings graduation."

AJ sighed. "I know that dad."

"Let's go and get our seats."

AJ nodded her head. She saw her dad walk towards Mr. Hardy and Jeff who were there already.

"Good evening Mr. Hardy." Said Mr. Cena.

"Good evening Mr. Cena." Replied Mr. Hardy.

AJ looked at Jeff with her pale blue eyes.

"Baby say hello to Jeff."

She looked at her dad and then to Jeff. "Hi." She mumbled.

"Let's get a good seat." Said Mr. Cena.

The four of them sat together and AJ rolled her eyes as Mr. Cena and Mr. Hardy talked about some things that didn't concern the two teenagers.

Vince McMahon stood in front of all of the parents and other students. "Welcome to the graduating class of 2001. I have watched these students go through four years of high school and become the best that they could be. Graduating from Raw….. Charlie Haas, Edge, John Cena, Johnny Nitro, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Sandra Moto, and Jakie Cena…… Graduating from Smackdown….. Batista, Chris Benoit, Gregory Helms, JBL, Joey Mercury, Lashley, Matt Hardy, and The Undertaker…… And from ECW….. The Big Show, Hardcore Holly and Shannon Moore. That is the class of 2001."

-Later at the Cena's house-

There was a nice graduation party at the Cena's house. Charlie Haas, John Cena, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Sandra Moto, Jakie Cena, Batista, Chris Benoit, Lashley, Matt Hardy, Hardcore Holly, and Jeff Hardy were all down stairs partying

-AJ's Room-

AJ looked out the window and let out a sigh. She slowly stood up and went to her closet.

"Look at me. Who would see a punks a punk. There is something more than what they see. Drinking and smoking is what I use to do. I am better than that. I am not a popular girl that's for sure. It's time to say good bye to Miss Punky AJ Cena."

AJ pulled out a blue jean mini skirt, a pair of dress shoes, a tight pink tank top and pulled her hair up into a ponytail. She looked in the mirror. "Good bye punky and hello preppy." She said softly. She slowly headed down the stairs.

-Downstairs-

John looked up and saw AJ coming down the stairs. He tapped Jakie on the shoulder and she looked as well.

AJ looked at John and a small smile came to her face. She knew that she did something right for the first time in a long time. She dressed like her two siblings and felt much better about herself.

Everyone stopped and looked at AJ.

Jeff was surprised as much as everyone else in the room was. "Nice outfit AJ." He complemented.

AJ nodded her head. "Thanks."

"I thought you weren't going to change sis." Said Jakie looking at her sister in shock.

"Nor did I, but it was time to say good bye to the punk AJ and say hello to the more popular AJ."

"Since when did you want to do that?"

"Since I knew I wasn't going to be fitting in anywhere else soon with out saying good bye to the punk part of me."

"Then why change now?"

"Because I want to fit in with you guys and being punk isn't going to let me fit in with the popular crowd."

Jeff looked at her surprised. "Then it would be good to have you in our group."

"Thank you."

Matt left the house and looked up into the night sky. "Amy why did you do this to me? Why did you hurt me so much by going off with Adam? He's nothing, but a creep."

"Who's a creep?" asked a female voice that was punky.

Matt turned around and saw Joanna standing there. "What are you doing here punk?"

"Hey. Not the third degree here. I don't like being called that. I want to be called by my name Matt."

"Joanna."

"Thank you." She said softly.

"What did you say?"

"I said thank you."

"You're welcome."

"So who's a creep?"

"Adam."

"You mean that Edge guy?"

"Yeah."

"The one that you're ex went after and is doing what ever with him."

"Yeah him."

"He's a bastard."

"I know he is."

She looked into his dark brown eyes. "You're the nicest person that Amy could ever have and she ruined that with you."

"How do you know?"

"Because you seem like a really really nice guy. Don't get me wrong here, but if I was popular you would be nice to me too, but since I am a punk you would never be nice to me."

"Now why would you say that?"

"Because you think of all punks as rood, obnoxious, bullies, smokers, crack heads, boozers, and druggies."

"No, I don't think that."

"Then what do you think?"

Matt sighed. "I don't know what I think. I am never sure any more."

Joanna looked at him. "Why don't you know what you think any more?"

"I thought I was in love and I am not."

"Everyone thinks that at least once or twice in their lives." Said Joanna knowingly. "I thought I was in love with my best friend Shannon, but I found out that I love someone else. Some one who called me a punk and never really called me by my name."

"And who's that?"

"……."

"Who is it?"

She bit her lip and then kissed him softly on the lips. "It's you."
