Maria's POV
Maryse brought Mike over to me.
"My job is done. Your welcome babe." Maryse smiled at me and walked away.
"Maria are you okay?" Mike immediatly hugged me and felt the back of my head.
"Yeah , if it wasn't for Ashley , I'd probably still be on the ground."
"I'm sorry I should've done something."
"Mike no! You were getting punched in the face." I stroked his cheek which was red from being punched. "It's fine." Mike smiled down at me.
"You sure?"
"Yes! You should see your cheek!" He felt his cheek.
"It feels like fire." Mike frowned.
"Awh . Mike ..."
"I'm gonna let you to be alone." Ashley put her hand on my shoulder. "See you sometime later Maria." She walked away.
"You're already like my best friend Mike." I smiled at him.
"We barely talked before , except for ninth grade." He laughed.
"Are you making fun of me cause I had braces !" I laughed and hit him playfully.
"No , you were still damn pretty back then. The braces were a cute little touch." I smiled.
"I miss high school! Me and you were best friends , till like the middle of 12th grade."
"Yeah what happened?"
"I don't know. Wait I think I know..."
"What?"
"You got mad at me because I dated that one guy , because you liked me! Who was it... Phil Brooks!"
"Oh my god , don't remind me !" Mike frowned.
"Mike ! I'm sorry."
"It's fine , that was just really embarressing." His cheek bloomed as red as his swolen cheek.
"Why?"
"Maria , I really liked you that year , and you almost , well did break my heart."
"Awh Mike ! I'm so sorry . But hey , that was the past , tonight , I'm yours." I smiled and reached for his hand.
"Finally."
"What do you mean?"
"Maria , I've liked you since 12th grade. That's just a little over a year. And I finally got you to go on a date with me."
"Quit making me feel bad!" Jeff walked around the corner and walked up to us.
"I hate you..." He looked into my eyes. " I hate you! You are a worthless piece of shit! Your a patchetic bitch ,and a tramp!"
"Jeff..."
"Don't Jeff me you little whore!"
"I'm not a whore just because a lot of guys like me! I'm not being self centered either , I know , a lot of guys tell me they like me , or ask me out."
"You're just a tramp! Noone likes you! They use you to get in your pants!"
"I am not a whore. I'm a really nice person , and a virgin ! Unless I lost it because of what you did to me in the showers!"
"What did he do to you?" I had both Jeff and Mike staring at me. I looked up the hall and saw Rosa. I pushed Jeff out of the way and ran up the hall to Rosa.
"Maria are you okay?"
"Yeah , can I go in your room for a minute? Just to stay in there?"
"Yeah , but Tamina is in there, she won't care though."
"Thanks Rosa."
"No problem baby!" Rosa was always that sweet one , that always called people , sweety , honey , baby , or boo . I went to walk in her room when Mike came running up to me.
"Maria what did he do to you?"
"Could we go somewhere else and talk about this?" He nodded. I grabbed his hand and took him into my room . Candice and Mickie were gone , so I sat down and he sat next to me.
"Now tell me what happened?" I took a deep breath and began talking.
"Well I was taking a shower after practice yesterday . When I was in the middle of a shower , Jeff jumped into the shower with me , and made me tell Candice it was me she saw outside her shower . And he was getting closer to me , and he was like touching my legs , and he had me against the wall , and he was saying that if he tried coming at me , I would be all over him . " I stopped and began crying."And he was looking at my body , and it was so uncomfortable. I didn't know what to do !" I fell onto Mike and started crying hard.
"Did you tell anyone that?"
"N- no. Your the only one who knows , and Candice saw he was with me in there that's all."
"Oh my god Maria , why wouldn't you tell Mr. Jericho !"
"I can't it's too uncomfortable , and embaressing to talk about ."
"It's fine he won't hurt you."
"It's not that he hurt me . It was something I would be okay with , but it was him , and he was saying I liked him and stuff and that I wanted him , and he hates me and I hate him."
"Ohh . I can understand that , I guess." Mike just looked down and started playing with his hands.
"You okay?"
"Yeah . I'm just excited for tonight." He smiled.
"Yeah I am too."
"Only like two more hours , and we are still together." I laughed.
"Well how about we split up and then we can go from there?" He smiled.
"I like the sound of that. I'm really sorry about what Jeff-"
"It's okay. I'll see you at eight?"
"Okay , bye." He smiled and left the room. I plopped down onto the bed and layed down. I smiled at the ceiling. I layed there for honestly,
about ten minutes. A minute later I heard the door open and then it slammed shut. I sat up and saw Jeff standing there.
"Jeff I don't have time right now."
"I honestly don't know what it is about you."
"What did I do now?"
"I just hate you , but the shower thing."
"Was disturbing! Why would you do that to me!"
"Maria , I know you , I know you liked that , you weren't scared or anything."
"No I didn't appreciate it. That was very jerkish of you. But I don't have time , I have to get ready for my date." Jeff stopped and looked at me.
"Date? With who?"
"With Mike , the guy who didn't totally violate my space in the shower!"
"Oh well where are you guys going?"
"Out to dinner. What's it to you?"
"Nothing! Atleast I'm not jealous."
"Jealous? Oh god I'm not even starting this. I need to get ready." I got up and went to my closet and started looking for what to wear. I pulled out a little turquoise dress that was theigh length. It was bunched at the bottom , and had a thick black belt for around your waist. I looked it up and down.
"That would look good on you." I stopped and looked up. I turned around to Jeff and looked at him.
"Excuse me?"
"That would look good on you. You should wear it."
"I don't see compliments a way of hatred , but thanks." I smiled a little bit. "Now would you leave? I need to get dressed." He pressed his lips together and left. When the door shut , I took off my shirt and shorts and put on the dress. I looked at myself in the mirror. I turned around and looked at the back of myself. "Cute , I like it." I smiled at the dress. I went and sat at the little make-up and hair desk we had. It had three oval mirrors. To on the sides, that were diagnal , from the one in the middle the was right in front of me. I did my make-up,
and I curled my hair. I combed my fingers through my bangs. They were at a middle split. I went back to the closet and got out a pair of silver heels, and slipped them on my feet and buckled them up around my ankle. I looked at myself up and down in the mirror. I smiled and sat on the bed waiting for Mike to call . It was already 8:10 . There was a knock at the door , I got up and fixed my hair a little bit. I answer the door and Mike stood in front of me with denim jeans and a blue button up. He had the sleeves rolled up to his elbows.
"I'm so sorry for being late."
"It's fine."
"You look... beautiful."
"Thanks , you look , well , pretty damn cute." I smiled at him.
"Well thank you. Shall we go?" He put his hand out.
"We should." I laughed and grabbed his hand.
