"Tell him."
The two girls were standing outside of the wrestling school. Caria had a training appointment with Shannon in about five minutes.
"Becky, I am not going to tell him," Caria said, pulling her dark hair into a ponytail.
"Yes, you are, and you're going to be late if you keep up with these shenanigans. Now go!" Becky demanded, turning Caria around and pushing her towards the door.
"Hey, where are you going?"
"I don't know."
Caria gave her friend a confused look before pulling the door open.
As usual, the first person Caria came across was Brian. Today, he was laughing the instant she walked in the door. "Oh, Caria…"
"What do you want, dorkchop?"
Brian just stared at Caria for a moment and then blinked twice. "I'm going to pretend that you did not just reference old Edge and Christian lines. Anyways, there's a surprise for you later on in your training session," Brian said, continuing on with his laughter.
"What is it?"
"If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise." Brian's grin grew even wider.
This is not going to be good, Caria thought as she headed upstairs.
Nothing seemed different to her. Everything was the same. Shannon was already there, doing nothing as usual.
"Caria, is something wrong? You're usually never this late," he said, seeing that she had finally arrived.
Tell him, Becky's voice rang in Caria's head. "I'm not late. I'm on time," she said.
"Okay then. Let's get started…"
After an hour, an unfamiliar woman came into the training room. "Shanny!" she squealed, throwing her arms around him.
"Who is that?" Caria asked with the tone of spite in her voice, not really caring how rude she sounded. Why should she? Shannon never said anything about a girlfriend before.
But why should he? It's not like he had any interest in Caria…right?
"Oh, I'm sorry, Caria. This is my friend, Melissa."
Friend, Caria thought, relieved.
"Only friends, Shanny?" Melissa whined.
"Okay, maybe a bit more than that."
"Well I think we've had enough for one day," Caria said, quickly gathering all of her things and heading downstairs.
When Brian saw the pissed off look on Caria's face, he laughed even more than he had before.
"You knew, and you didn't tell me?"
"I like watching you suffer."
