Chapter 15: "It Was You"
Cody was once again talking to his friends, John, Chris, and Jeff.
"You feeling any better, Codester?" asked Chris.
"Kinda, I guess."
"Well, you better feel okay, 'cuz you have a match," John warned him.
"I do? Against who?"
"Hardcore Holly," answered Jeff.
"What?! Who scheduled that match?"
"We don't know. Regal just told us five minutes ago."
"Okay, I'll be ready."
"Good," said John .
"Hey, have you guys seen Jasmine? I haven't seen her all day."
"She's in that room over there talking to Shannon," Jeff told him.
Cody raced to the door and entered the room.
"Jazz?"
"Oh, hi Cody!" (she hugged him)
"What are you doing?"
"I'm just talking to my friend, Shannon Moore."
"Nice to meet you." (he shook his hand)
"He gave a pair of his cool pants. I'll get it from my dressing room and show you." (she ran off)
"How are you and Jasmine doing?" asked Shannon.
"Fine. Why?"
"She and I dated before," stated Shannon with a smirk on his face.
"Really?"
"Yep. We broke up for some reason, (he frowned) but we're still best friends." (he smiled)
"Good for you." (he put a fake smile on)
Cody turned to leave, but Shannon stopped him.
"Did you have fun at that party last night?"
Cody turned to face him.
"How do you know about that?"
"I crashed the party."
Shannon had a evil look in his eyes.
"You were the one who knocked me out?"
"I'm not denying it."
"…And did you schedule…?"
"Did I schedule that match for you against Hardcore? Yes, I did. "Why?" you ask? I don't like you, and whoever is with Jazz is my enemy."
By the time Jasmine came back with her pants, Shannon was flat on the floor. Cody had punched him in the face.
"Cody! How could you?!" she yelled.
She went to check on Shannon, but Cody pulled her away from him.
"This guy is your friend? Not anymore. I don't want you to speak to him ever again."
"But…"
"Come on. Let's go," said Cody.
He grabbed her hand and walked away, leaving the pants she was given behind. Shannon sat up. He rubbed his left cheek.
"This isn't over, Rhodes," Shannon whispered darkly.
