Chapter 17: "Determined"

Cody was accompanied by his best friends, John, Jeff, and Chris.

"Good job, man. I was surprised," Chris said.

"Thanks. That's why I'm going to ask Regal for a rematch next Monday."

"What?! Dude, you barely survived that Alabama Slamma!" John told him the truth.

"I'm going to beat him, and I will earn his respect."

"Whatever you say, man, whatever," Jeff ignored Cody.

"Did any of you guys get a clue who knocked out Codester, here?" asked Chris.

"Nope," said John.

"I know who did it."

"Who?" Jeff asked.

"Shannon Moore."

"Are you sure, buddy?" Chris questioned Cody.

"I'm positive. He admitted it himself."

"Really?"

"Apparently, he dated Jasmine once."

"Yeah, he did," Jeff admitted.

"He said that he didn't like me because I am with Jasmine. That's why he scheduled my match against Hardcore Holly. He got me so angry, that I punched his face off."

"That's my Codester! Givin' it to that little punk!" exclaimed Chris.

"I have to be extra careful with Jasmine. But I can't worry about Shannon right now. I have to take care of Hardcore first." (he left)

"He's so determined," said John.

"Got that right," agreed Jeff.
