Chapter 5 – Making An Impression

Standing alone in a spacious area of the backstage arena, Brooke was feeling a little bored with nothing to do. Usually it would be her time to do a dance rehearsal with Kelly and Layla. She would always bring her CD player along with her and then as the trio got together, they would start working on their dance moves straightaway. Now that Brooke was part of the Raw roster, there wasn't going to be more of the dance rehearsals, much to her disappointment.

"Hey there."

Brooke turned to see Maria and she smiled at her.

"Hey, what's up?"

"Just wondering what you're up to."

"Nothing really. Just being bored."

"Aw me too. I just got out from training with Mickie.

"Oh that's cool. How did it go?"

"It was great! I'm improving on my hurricarana."

"That's good I'm glad."

"Yeah," Maria grinned. "So what about you? Are you going to train too?"

"Not really. I'm not so focused into that right now to be honest."

"Oh. Is there something else in mind? Or are you waiting for the particular someone to pass by?"

"Well…"

As Brooke struggled to come with an answer, Maria immediately threw it out for her.

"You are, aren't you?"

Brooke giggled and then her cheeks turned light pink. The only reason why she was here in the arena was that she heard that Randy was going to be there as well. So far she hadn't seen him yet.

"Kinda."

Maria smirked at her. "I knew it."

"Look I was just going to see him train that's all."

"Is flirting part of the agenda?"

Brooke laughed. "Not exactly flirting, it's more like…"

"Flirting."

"No. It's something called 'getting him to notice me' kind of thing."

"Uh huh sure. Well I hate to disappoint you but as far as I know, I haven't seen him."

"Yeah I know," said Brooke and made a sigh. "I'm starting to think that it's just a waste of time coming here for nothing."

"Aw don't be like that. He's probably coming in a little later."

"I guess," said Brooke and made a shrug. She was starting to doubt about it. What if he changed his mind about coming by to the arena? This whole idea of grabbing his attention seemed to be pointless.

"So…were you going to play some music or something?"

Brooke snapped herself out of her dreamy thoughts and turned back to Maria again.

"I'm sorry, what?"

"The CD player. That's yours right?"

"Oh yes it is," said Brooke with a small laugh after realizing what Maria was talking about. Brooke had forgotten that she had rested her CD player on a steel chair. She found no use of it after all, since there wasn't going to be any more dance rehearsals for her.

"Oh okay," said Maria and made a chuckle. "What music you got?"

"A wide variety. I like all kinds of music."

"Cool, same here. Can I check them out?"

"Sure."

Brooke pulled out her purple CD case from under the CD player and handed it to Maria. Maria unzipped it and flipped through the collection of discs.

"Okay let's see what you've got here. Backstreet Boys. Mariah Carey. Leona Lewis. Boys 2 Men. The Used. Who's this? Marky Mark? Cute name if you ask me."

Brooke laughed. "Yeah he was a good rapper. Ever heard of a song called Good Vibrations?"

Maria thought for a bit and then made shook her head afterwards. "No I don't think so."

"You should listen to it. It has a great beat. Wanna hear it now?"

"Sure why not."

Brooke smiled and Maria gave her the disc that was chosen to be played. She inserted into the CD player and soon a sound of the drums began beating in a rapid motion for the starting of the song. Maria started to bob her head to the sound of hip hop and then her smile grew in mere seconds.

"Yeah this is good!"

"I told you it is," said Brooke as she snapped her fingers to the beat. At the mere seconds, she gave in to the temptation to dance as she swayed her body to the music. She had a passion for dancing and even though there wouldn't be any more dance rehearsals to attend to, at least she would just have fun dancing on a fun occasion.

"Come on let's dance," Brooke urged with a smirk. "I know you want to."

Maria was being hesitant about the idea. But her head kept on rocking from side to side.

"Oh what the heck!" she laughed. "This song is too addicted for me to resist!"

-------------------

"I'm thinking that we should have some Chinese after we finish our workout. What do you think?"

"Sounds alright by me. As long as it's not that greasy fried chicken. You know I don't eat that stuff anymore."

"Unless it's chicken nuggets?" John smirked at this best friend. "I know you more than you know yourself."

"Okay you're starting to freak me out now."

Randy laughed as John slapped him on the shoulder and then John joined in the laughter as well. They had just entered the arena to go do their usual workout together. As they had turned the corner, they began to talk about unimportant things. Then as they had gotten further inside the arena, they came to s a stop when something had caught their attention.

"Is that music I'm hearing?" John began.

"Sounds like it," said Randy. "Let's see what's going on."

They walked on and as they got closer to where the music would lead them to, they heard noises too, which were confirmed to be people whooping over something. The two men met a couple of people who seemed to be impressed by the display before them. There were two girls dancing. One of them was Maria and the other happened to be the new diva of the Raw roster.

"Well well look whose here," said John with a smirk. "It's your lucky draft pick."

Randy rolled his eyes with annoyance and turned to look back at her. He didn't know her that well. They had only met for the first time on the night of the draft lottery. And then by the end of the night, he won three draft picks and Miss Brooke, just surprisingly, had happened to be the last draft pick.

Yo!

It's about time

To bring forth the rhythm and the rhyme

I'mma get mine so get yours

I wanna see sweat comin' out your pores

Though she already knew that she and Maria had gotten the crowd to their attention, Brooke had failed to notice that particular someone. From the corner of her eye, she thought that she saw someone who looked just like him. Until she found out that she was right when her eyes got the full view of the person watching her and then she felt her heart leaping in an instant and her smile was soon dropped. He had finally arrived and he was now watching her.

"Go on Brooke," said Maria over her shoulder. "It's time for you to impress him."

Brooke nodded. She was right. If she wanted him to notice her, she had to do something about it.

Maria's right. Just be yourself and do your thing.

Now being cool and confident, a smile came back on the brunette's face as she continued on dancing with her new friend as the small crowd clapped their hands to the beat. There was one person who wasn't too happy though after realizing what the excitement was all about, she had her hands placed on her hips and scoffed by the scene.

"She's such a show off!" said Jillian and turned to her friend. "Now she's got Randy to look at her? I don't understand! What does that bitch got that I don't?"

"She's nothing compared to you Jill," said Melina as she watched Brooke dancing before turning back to the blonde with a smirk. "But don't worry, next week on Raw, you'll show her what you're all about."

"Oh I can't wait for that," said Jillian as she had her eyes targeting on the new diva. The two already made their encounter. But they would see each other again soon enough.

As the song finally came to an end, the two brunettes received applause for their performance and took a bow. Brooke looked at Randy and from that moment, she had a feeling that he was talking about her when he was telling John something and at the same time, his eyes were still on her.

Though she didn't realize this as she was looking back at him, her smile didn't fade once.

Next chapter: Brooke makes her debut on Raw. But little did she know that Jillian plans to make it a humiliating one for her.
