Chapter 3: Ultimate Commitment Pt. 1
Nick's POV
After I follow that one kid down the hall he turns around to go see Jackie, the girl I met in the morning. She seems like a pretty down-to-earth kind of girl, kinda like me. He goes up to her, seemingly with confidence, and stops to look at something. I follow along and see a big sign that says 'Ultimate Rumble'. Intriguing to say the least. I also see a huge crowd of people gathered around what looks to be a principle. I maneuver my way through the crowd and find 'that kid.' "Hey! What's your na..." I stopped as I realized he was focused on the principle who was making an announcement of some sort.
"This year we realized that less students are getting involved in programs so we decided to recreate one…" the majority of students groaned at the thought while I was still confused about the situation. "…as I was saying, this program will involve a lot more…action!" That caught the attention of some students. "A lot more…danger!" Now THAT caught the attention of the boys attention. "A lot more…teamwork!" Now even the girls are interested. "Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you…the rebirth of ECCW!"
Marco's POV
I have a confused-bewilderment felling in me as I see a vast amount of records and pictures before me. All I can hear behind me is 'ahh' and 'wow'. That is until Brittney Wong, the head cheerleader and rich snob, stepped in to say something. She was always putting her nose in places it doesn't belong, but gets away with it because she's rich. I never really viewed her as a important figure…I viewed her as a manipulative bitch and only that. "So what does this have to do with the girls?" she asked in her usual snarky attitude. "I'm glad you asked Brittany! We have decided to ditch the idea of having tag team championships held only by men and instead decided to let it be held by one man and one women. So I introduce the MIXED tag team championship!"
He the held up 2 different belts: both had golden front and side plates with the logo of the organization on all of the side plates, one had a rounded-out trapezoid shaped on the front that read "Mixed Tag Champions" at the top of the plate, while the other had an even more unique, undeterminable, shape to it that read "Mixed Tag Champions" as well. The entire group was in shock as how amazing they look. All except Brittney, of course! "That's it?" she said annoyed. "Of course not!" the principal exclaimed. He then held up a title in the shape of a butterfly, colored purple and pink, and was outlined with several varieties of jewels. While the girls approved of this, I can't help but think of how much it looks like an overgrown ear ring. "The other championships will be announced at the beginning of next year!" I raise my hand up to divert his attention towards me. "Yes, Marco?" he asked somewhat disappointedly. "What about this "Ultimate Rumble" thing?" I ask while pointing at the sign. His smile grows wide again as he walks towards me.
"I'm SO glad YOU asked, Marco. I'm confused until he brings up a picture of a man beside me. "Your father was the last Ultimate Rumble winner before it's discontinuation in 1995 and is the longest reigning ECCW champion of its 50 year history at 385 days!" The entire group was stunned in amazement at such a nobody has an amazing legacy. I heard whispers among the crowd similar to when the belts were shown earlier. "I will tell you more about the other championships and rules to the Ultimate Rumble next year! But to enter in the ECCW brand, you must pay a fee of $10 and your parents must sign forms to let you in because of the dangers of concussions and other injuries…"
I think hard about this decision: If I were to somehow win, I would become infamous across the schools and to Jackie. While everyone else was hesitant, I walked up there, payed the $10 fee, signed my name on a clipboard, and took the forums with pride while walking back. The next up to do it was, to my surprise and everyone else, Nick. He repeated my actions and when he returned he gave me a wink. Then, out of nowhere, Star did the exactly what me and Nick did. Others like people from the football team and soccer team, also joined including Jeremy Birnbaum(more on him later).
When we got home, I told my parents about the day except for dad's history with the school. We woke up on the first day of summer break when I hear a knock at my door. It was none other than Nick.
