Chapter 16: "The Match"

Cody was extremely worried. Hardcore Holly was…hardcore. "I can never beat him," thought Cody. Just then, Jasmine came up right next to him.

"Just try your best, Cody. That's all you can do."

"I'm afraid my best isn't good enough," he replied.

"Don't worry. You'll be great," she encouraged him. (she kissed him on the cheek)

Cody's theme music played, and he made his entrance. Hardcore was already in the ring. The bell rang, and the match started.

Hardcore and Cody faced each other blindly. Hardcore pushed Cody on the ropes, and slammed his knee into Cody's stomach. Cody was on the floor. Holly picked Cody up, but Cody punched him in the stomach a few times. Cody then performed a dropkick. Hardcore got back up and Cody gave him another dropkick. The same thing happened again. Cody got on the turnbuckle, and ready to jump. Hardcore pulled one of Cody's legs, and Cody sat on the turnbuckle. Hardcore then began punching Cody repeatedly. Cody kicked him away. He then jumped off the turnbuckle, only to be caught by Holly. Hardcore Holly performed the Alabama Slamma. He pinned Cody and won the match. Cody sat up a few minutes later. Hardcore just looked at him shaking his head as if saying, "Nice try, kid, but you'll never beat me." He left Cody dazed in the ring. "I will beat you and I will earn your respect. Until next Monday, then."

I know this chapter is kinda short...sorry.
