Principal McMahon's Office
It was tense in the Principal's office as members of Class ME and Class J face off across from each other standing before Principal McMahon, sitting behind his desk applying his signature on a document.
"Alrighty, it is official. Five weeks from now Class ME and Class J will face off in Wargames! I'd like to review the stakes so that everyone understands. "If Class ME wins then Finn Balor will hearby be expelled from Vincent J McMahon High. If Class J wins then Finn Balor is promoted to Class ME." Does everyone understand and agree to these conditions?" Principal McMahon asked to which both Finn and Seth nod their heads. "Good. Ladies and gentlemen, I wish you the best of luck and may the best class win!" Seth and Finn step forward getting in each other's face.
"Well, it looks like you got what you wanted. All I have to say to you is be careful what you wish for, Balor." Seth remarked.
"I didn't get what I wanted yet." Finn replied.
"Oh yeah, and what is it that you really want?" Seth asked.
"To punch you right in your mouth." Finn coldly replied.
Seth chuckles as he sizes up Finn eying the sling still on his arm. "Yeah, I can't wait for the one-armed man to punch me in the face. You really think you with your busted up arm and your band of losers have what it takes to beat us? You could probably take down those other chumps in Class M and Class UC but we're Class ME. The best class! The elite class that you can't compare to." Seth stated.
"We'll just see how elite you really are." Finn stated just before he led Class J out of Principal McMahon's office. After all of Class J and most of Class ME left the room, Principal McMahon got up from behind his desk and approached Seth and Becky.
"Seth, are you sure you wanna go through with this?" Principal McMahon asked.
"Yes, sir I have to. He and his whole class violated and vandalized Becky's home. It took us forever to clean it up, but we were able to get everything taken care of before her parents came back home." Seth stated.
"But my mum wasn't pleased to find out her favorite vase was destroyed. She was not too happy with me and as a result, I've been grounded for three months." Becky replied. "So, Seth's right, sir, we have to put those Class J losers in their place and I need to take some frustrations out on them!"
"Alright, if you feel you need to. I was going to suggest making things hard for them but I guess you need to handle this yourselves then." Principal McMahon replied.
"Mr. McMahon, on behalf of Class ME, I want to say we appreciate you for all that you do for us, but it is time for us to not only show you but to show the rest of the school why we're at the top and they're beneath us. You got nothing to worry about as you got me, the architect of Class ME, Becky, AJ, Roman, and the big guy, Braun! They don't stand a chance, sir. I guarantee you that." Seth cockily stated.
"We shall see. Now, there is the matter of homecoming week I have to plan for. You elected to go with steampunk rock is it?" Principal McMahon asked.
"Yeah, it's a combination of me and Becks favorites. I'm into punk rock and she loves steampunk." Seth states as he puts his arm around Becky, hugging her.
"Well, I see no problem in us putting on quite the spectacle. I also see no problem with the homecoming king and queen being Class ME's top students." Principal McMahon stated.
"Mr. McMahon, Becky and I have that thing in the palm of our hand. This whole school knows we run it and that it is only fitting that we are the king and queen. Besides, they already know that if anyone runs they stand no shot of winning it." Seth states much to the delight of Principal McMahon as he nods his head.
Class J Classroom
In Class J, Mr. Snow paces back and forth in front of the class shaking his head.
"Finn, what were you thinking?" Mr. Snow angrily asked. "Do you know what you did?"
"Yeah, I finally got Class ME to accept my challenge to wargames." Finn replied.
"You didn't learn anything from the Mixed Match Challenge did you?" Mr. Snow replied.
"Teach, it's gonna be fine." Finn said as he stood up out of his seat. "This will not be like last time."
"Finn, you still have that sling on your arm and it will not heal up five weeks from now. Gosh! Look, I know how bad you really wanted this but you're making a mistake. You didn't think at all and you let your emotions get the best of you." Mr. Snow stated.
"Mr. Snow, I'm telling you we're going to be fine." Finn insisted.
"How so, Finn? You only got one arm and you're still short a member. Who else is going to join you?" Mr. Snow asked which prompted Finn to look around the classroom. Finn pauses as someone catches his eye. Finn looks deep in the back of the classroom at a rather large student donning a sheep mask.
"Hey, who's that?" Finn asked pointing towards the student with the sheep mask.
"Oh, that's Rowan." Apollo replied.
"Is he new or have I never just noticed him?" Finn asked.
"No, Rowan's been in here before. This is a class of misfits so some may go unnoticed more than others." Mr. Snow stated.
"Well, he seems to be a big student and I know that Class ME has a big guy as well. He could be the fifth member." Finn replied.
"I don't know, man. I mean Rowan is big but not as big as Braun. He's a literal monster amongst the boys. I'm not even sure how old he is." Apollo stated.
"Well, it won't hurt to ask. Hey kid, do you wanna join on team for wargames?" Finn asked which prompted Rowan to rise up out of his seat. Rowan slowly walks to the front of the class and stands in front of Finn, towering over him. Rowan sizes up Finn from top to bottom. Rowan simply nods his head much to the delight of Finn. "Well, there you have it. We got our fifth member. So, it'll be me, Alicia, Apollo, Curt, and the big guy here. We're all set."
"No, you are not! Gosh, sometimes I feel like you don't listen you just jump into things without planning. During these five weeks, you're going to be going through some intense training. However, I don't think I can do this by myself." Mr. Snow replied as he let out a sigh. "I'll have to make some phone calls later on."
"Hey, me and the girls can gather some intel on those Class ME jerks. Peep them out and even cause a little riot in the process." Ruby Riott said.
"No! You girls will do not rioting whatsoever. You should be lucky you got away with that stunt you pulled at Becky's house. If she wasn't supposed to have a party without her parents' permission, you all would be in a heap of trouble." Mr. Snow firmly stated.
"Ugh! Fine! Whatever you say, Mr. Snow." Ruby replied with an annoyed tone in her voice.
"I'm sure there's another way we can stick it to Class ME." Alicia said.
"Well, I did hear that Seth and Becky were up for homecoming queen and king this year and nobody else is putting their name in due to them inserting their will and power against everyone." Apollo stated.
"Homecoming queen and king? What's that?" Finn asked curiously.
"It's a sham of a dance. During the dance, they announce who's the king and queen for homecoming week. It's a shame because of the voting system. You see Class ME students votes count as five, while Class UC votes count as three, and Class M votes count as two and our votes only count as one." Apollo informed Finn.
"That doesn't make any sense." Finn replied.
"You see, if you are in Class ME and you cast your vote, it counts as a total of five votes. If you are in Class J then it only counts as one vote. So, if ten students in Class ME voted they for someone and all of Class J voted for the other one, then whoever Class ME voted for would win simply because they're votes count more than ours." Apollo stated.
"That is ridiculous! And, you say everyone else is afraid of competing against Seth and Becky?" Finn asked curiously.
"Yeah, but who cares about that, sweetheart? It's just a stupid event." Alicia added on.
"Well, it looks like I'll be throwing my name in the mix. I really want to stick it to them one last time before wargames and this seems like a perfect opportunity." Finn said.
"Oh, Finny! I couldn't agree more! And, since you're throwing your name on the ballot, I'll do the same as well. The king and queen of Class J! Oh, it'll be so romantic!" Alicia said gushing in her own fantasy.
"Wait, I thought you said it was a stupid da-" Alicia slapped Curt upside the head just before he could get his words out as the school bell rings indicating school is done for the day.
"Alright, now remember your homework for tonight. Three pages or more on the history of Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart. Two of VJM's best students and one of the greatest rivalries this school has ever seen." Mr. Snow said as he pulls out his phone. "Finn, this weekend you gather up everyone and meet me at school. We'll start training this weekend." Mr. Snow said as Finn nods his head as he goes to gather his bookbag.
"Finny! I was wondering if you don't have any plans after school. Well, do you?" Alicia asked.
"Uhh yeah, I actually do have something I have to do. It's something very important I need to tend to. I gotta get going or I'll be late. I'll catch you later, Foxy." Finn said as he hurried out of the room leaving behind a deflated Alicia Fox.
"Apollo, what does Finn have to do today?" Alicia asked.
"Huh?" Apollo replied acting as if he didn't hear Alicia.
"Huh? I said what does Finn have planned for today?" Alicia asked in a more aggressive tone.
"Oh… Well, er, I don't really know. He didn't disclose it with me what he had going on." Apollo stated.
"Apollo, why do I feel like you're lying to me?" Alicia asked.
"What? I'm not lying I'm serious." Apollo nervously said with an awkward chuckle just before Alicia wrapped her arms tight around his throat.
"Now, do you want to tell me or do I have to choke you and we'll be down a member for wargames?" Alicia asked as she chokes Apollo. Apollo tapes on the desk nodding his head which makes Alicia break the hold.
"Ok, ok, ok, ok, I'll talk. He went to go meet up with someone." Apollo said trying to clear his throat.
"Meet up with someone? Who? Is it another girl? Who is she? Where does she live? I'll break the bitch in half!" Alicia said interrogating Apollo.
"I don't know who. He didn't say it was a he or she. He just said he's going to meet them at the park and they suppose to help him rehab his shoulder." Apollo cried out.
"Well then it looks like we're going to go find out won't we?" Alicia said.
"I take it as if I have no other choice. Man!" Apollo said shaking his head.
Later That Day
The Park
On a bright and sunny afternoon, Bayley and Sasha Banks just got done purchasing ice cream from a vendor as they venture into the park.
"Oh man, this is the best. Getting ice creams with my best friend. What more can I ask for?" Bayley said.
"Yes, it's been a while since we've done this. So, has anyone asked you out to homecoming yet?" Sasha asked.
"No, well yeah I mean a handful of guys but I'm not really interested." Bayley stated.
"Why not? Wait let me guess? Does it have to do with a certain Class J boy who you've been crushing on?" Sasha asked.
"N-N-N-No! It doesn't have to do with anything. Besides, we're just really good friends that's all." Bayley replied.
"Mmm hmm so how come you are not interested?" Sasha questioned Bayley.
"I mean homecoming is just so blah to me. I mean it's bad enough that it's basically just an event to prop up Seth and Becky. So, I'm going to pass this year." Bayley said.
"Oh really? Hmmm. Well, I heard that Finn plans to run for homecoming king." Sasha said.
"Really?! Oh, is that so? Well, good for him." Bayley said while trying to calm her excitement. "You know what on second thought I might go to homecoming."
"Are you now? Gee, I wonder what came over you?" Sasha sarcastically asked.
"Nothing. I thought about it and you know I wouldn't want to miss out on socializing with my classmates. And, you know what? I'm going to do something daring. I'll run for homecoming queen myself." Bayley said with confidence in her voice.
"Wow! Well then go for it, Bayley. Huh, speak of the devil." Sasha said as she stops her and Bayley in their tracks as they spot Finn standing in the middle of the park waiting by the fountain. On the image of Finn standing there alone, Bayley's face blushes red.
"Oh gosh! It's Finn! What's he doing here?" Bayley asked.
"I don't know. Wanna go ask him?" Sasha asked which Bayley simply shook her head no. Sasha looks over at some trees and spots Apollo and Alicia hiding behind them as they peak out. "Aren't they in Class J?" She asked as she points them out. Sasha and Bayley walk over to Apollo and Alicia hiding behind the tree.
"Apollo? Alicia?" Bayley asked.
"Oh great! It's them! Did you tell them we would be here?" Alicia asked Apollo glaring at him.
"No, I didn't and that's the truth." Apollo said.
"What are you two doing here creeping out?" Sasha asked
"Well, she wa-" Alicia covered Apollo's mouth just before he could get another word out.
"It's none of your concern! So why don't you take your ice creams and buzz off!" Alicia shouted as she peaks out staring at Finn.
"What are your losers doing?" A voice shouted out as everyone turns around to see it is Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville, drenched in sweat.
"Oh God! Not you!" Alicia cried out.
"Why are you creeping out behind this tree? Who are you spying on?" Mandy asked just before she looks forward and found her answer as Finn was standing there. "Oh my God! Finn's here! Oh God, Finn's here and I'm a total mess! Look at me! How's my hair? Oh, it's so messy! I can't approach him like this! I'm all sweaty and smelly yuck!
"Hey, I like it when you are sweaty and smelly. That means you been putting in work. Who cares what that disgusting jerk thinks? Screw him!" Sonya stated.
"Will you all just go away? I'm tryna see who Finn is meeting up with. I suspect it would be one of you hoes, but now I'm really curious." Alicia stated.
"Wait, Finn's meeting up with someone?" Bayley asked curiously as she now peaks around the tree.
"Finn's meeting up with someone and it's not me? How dare this broad try to snatch my man?" Mandy cried out as she goes to brush up against Alicia and Bayley peaking around the tree with them. All eyes were now on FInn as he stood ther still waiting patiently. Finn pulls out his phone with his good arm checking the time.
"I see you made it here before me." A voice said behind Finn's back. Finn turned around to be greeted by Alexa Bliss. Everyone hiding behind the tree was stunned to see Alexa.
"Alexa!?" Everyone shouted out as they continue to observe Finn and Alexa Bliss.
"Running late were we?" A sly Finn asked.
"Yeah, there were some things for homecoming that needed to be taken care of, but I got it all done for the day. You weren't followed were you?" Alexa asked Finn.
"No, nobody followed me here. I know you don't want to be caught dead with some scrub from Class J right?" Finn asked.
"Uhh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the reason. So don't get any bright ideas ok." Alexa said nervously while laughing.
"I'm still surprised you actually called and wanted to meet up given our class status." Finn stated.
"Well, let's just say there's something I've been wanting to tell you for a while now but I can't quite say it at school." Alexa said while talking lowly just before she gazes in Finn's eyes.
"Well, then I am looking forward to hearing this. Shall we go then?" Finn asked.
"Yeah, let's go." Alexa replied nodding her head as she and Finn walk off side by side. Alicia tries to spring around the tree, but Apollo holds her back while covering her mouth trying to control her.
"Alicia, calm down! I'm sure there's a reason he's meeting up with her." Apollo said to the crazed Fox.
"Alexa? I mean wow!" Bayley said stunned.
"Yeah, well he better have a pretty damn good reason why and I'm not going to stand around here and wait. Come on, Sonya." Mandy said as she walks off.
"Oh come on, Mandy! What is it about that dork you find attractive?" Sonya cried out while following Mandy.
"Well, let's go Bayley. I know you wanna know too." Sasha said as she pulls on a reluctant Bayley as they catch up to Mandy and Sonya in following Finn and Bayley.
"Oh no, they don't! Finny is mines! If anyone deserves any answers it's me!" Alicia broke out of Apollo's arm and made a beeline to the rest of the girls. Apollo looks on shaking his head.
"Why can't we ever have a regular day?" Apollo complained shaking his head as he runs up to catch up with everyone else.
