I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Sunday Night- Caylee's Point of View-
I was laying on my bed reading the WWE magazine I borrowed from Greg, I didn't feel like reading the Hardy Boyz biography that he loaned me as well. I was looking through it and trying to get myself familiar with the characters, who I should boo and who I should cheer on when I heard the front door unlock, my mom was home. I got up from my bed hiding the magazine under my pillow, I ran out to greet my mom.
"Hey Caylee, how was your weekend?" My mom asked.
"Not so good, I got turned down from all the university's besides the University of Phoenix and DeVry." I said as my mom set down her purse, her bag and briefcase.
"I'm sorry baby, maybe if you would of worked harder on your grades and homework than being out all hours of the night like always." My mom said.
"You shouldn't of gotten me a car if you didn't want me driving."
"I didn't say that I don't like you driving, I just didn't expect you being out as much or as late as you were/are." My mom said as she skimmed through the bills.
"I'll cut it down to three to four days a week, I'm home on weekends, but your never home."
"I'm sorry I have to work, if I don't work, you won't have money for that cell phone, or that car, or those clothes, or that iPod I bought you, or college if you go."
"What about my Senior Trip and my prom, it's coming up next month, then graduation?" I asked.
"How much is your Senior Trip and your Prom?"
"Prom is $60, I'm driving myself there since I'm not going with a date and I don't have very many friends. Senior trip is about $150." I said trying to remember.
"Do you have any papers about it?"
"Yeah, it's in my backpack." I said as I went to my backpack in my room pulling out the paperwork I had on Prom and Senior Trip, I handed it over to my mom.
"You can only do one, I don't have the money to pay for both Caylee, sorry."
"But mom, this is my senior year I want to go to both, I didn't get a class ring, or anything seniorish, I have to borrow our neighbors graduation robe from last year, I'm lucky she's the same size as me." I said in a little louder voice.
"Don't raise your tone with me missy, I don't see you paying with it or using your money to help pay for this. What about all that money you earned from babysitting and dog walking?"
"I spent it on school things and such."
"What school things?" My mom asked as she leant against the chair that was pushed into the dining room table.
"Um, I had to get my flute repaired for band class, I had to pay for my locker, I had to pay to get into every football game, and help pay for parades for band." I made up, she doesn't know what classes I'm taking in school.
"Your in band?"
"Yeah, I use the schools flute, but if it is damaged or anything I have to pay for it."
"Why don't I ever see you practicing it?" My mom asked.
"That's where I'm at after school is practicing my flute in the band hall." I said.
"Fine, whatever, you can only go to one event, I'm sorry."
"Fine, I want to go to prom, I don't want to spend two or three days in a hotel with other classmates." I said as I turned around and headed back to my room.
"When do you want to go shopping for your dress?" My mom asked as she started opening one of the bills.
"You want to go with, I thought you were just going to give me your credit card and let me go buy it myself with our next door neighbor." I said, our next door neighbor is one year older than me, and we were born on the same day, but obviously different years.
"This is a special moment in your life, I want to be there, plus I haven't spend a lot of time with you lately, I hardly know the real you anymore. Plus, you're a senior now, your moving out soon and going to be on your own." My mom said as I could tell she was trying not to cry.
"Mom, it's okay, you know I will be here forever and ever." I said as I walked back to her hugging her.
"I know, I just can't believe my baby is graduating."
"I'm still and always will be your baby." I said smiling as I headed back to my room, my room held the computer since my mom had a laptop for work, she figured I could use the main computer in my room. I turned the computer on, I sat down in front of it, I figured I should start applying for jobs now that I'm almost out of school. I heard a knock come to my door, I looked over to the closed door. "It's open."
"Hey, what do you want to do for dinner? I can make you your favorite, Macaroni and Cheese with Hot Dogs."
"That'll be nice."
"So, since your going to prom, thinking of anyone special your going to invite to go with you as a date?" My mom asked as she leant against the door frame.
"I might ask this one guy, but he doesn't go to high school, he graduate a couple years ago."
"Older, how'd you meet him?"
"I was a sophomore when he graduated, and we hang out occasionally." I said thinking of Greg from the wrestling training facility, technically I wasn't lying, he did graduate from my school two years ago, but we never talked until this year.
"Does he have the money to pay for his own ticket and would he be able to go?"
"I just got to ask him, I hope he will say yes."
"Dinner will be ready in half hour okay." My mom said leaving my room, I put the DVD in that Greg burnt for me, I plugged in my headphones to listen to it instead of it blaring through the speakers. I watched my matches against the other male and female wrestlers that were training at the same school, even though I mainly wrestled my instructor during lessons, I didn't bother doing group training. I saw what they had of me, I opened Windows Movie Maker importing the videos from my DVD, and I made a little demo reel to music, I didn't put the whole matches, but a few clips here and there from each match to one of my favorite songs, 'Let There Be Rock' by ACDC. I watched and re-watched it so many times making sure that everything looked good, on beat, I even put some promo pictures in there that I got from their website. I saved it to my computer and burnt it to a couple of DVDs, I was going to take one to the wrestling school, while I'm there I was going to ask Greg if he would go to prom with me.
"Caylee, dinner's ready." My mom yelled from the kitchen, I don't mind my mom calling me Caylee since everyone calls me that, that was my wrestler name for the wrestling school, but I miss being called Christina by my mom. I turned the monitor off so my mom wouldn't see what I was working on. I walked down the hallway to eat dinner with my mom.
"Thanks for dinner mom, so how was your trip?" I asked as I scooped some Macaroni and Cheese onto a plate.
"Busy, it was filled with business, I hate taking business trips."
"Who does?" I asked which caused her to giggle, we had a nice dinner together, after dinner I washed the dishes and put them in the dishwasher. I went back to my room to upload my demo and apply to WWE and TNA.
"Where are you going?" My mom asked from the couch.
"I'm going to my room, I have to finish some homework and I'm going to read a book."
"Alright, just make sure you go to bed on time and set your alarm for the morning, I don't have work until 4 pm, would I expect you home before then?" My mom asked.
"No, I have band practice, and I might go for a drive to try and get some job applications and/or look at apartments."
"Why apartments so soon?"
"Let's face it mom, I can't live here my whole life."
"I know, but you haven't even graduated yet." My mom said.
"I know, but at least look at them and work out the finance's."
"Okay, if you need help, let me know."
"Alright thanks mom, good night." I said walking over to her, hugging her and she kissed me on the cheek.
"Night, and love you baby girl." She said as I left the living room, I love my mom, I just wish I knew my dad. I watched my demo once again, I was going to apply to wrestling tonight. I didn't want to finish my homework, plus it was only missing one or two problems. I went to WWE first, if my mom comes in she doesn't know about TNA, she only knows about WWE. I applied for WWE, I used the last name Howard, I knew I had the last name Guerrero, but didn't bother putting it down, my mom always told me that it was my fathers last name because she thought he only had cold feet and that he would come back in time, no big deal, and she said it was my choice if I wanted to use Guerrero or Howard, or if I wanted to use both. People always ask me why I have two, I just say that my parents were separated at the time I was born. I then went to TNA, I just applied under Howard, then I went to finish looking at the WWE magazine, and I started reading the Hardy Boyz book that I borrowed from Greg. I fell asleep in the middle of reading the book, I only had ten pages left until it was finished. I got up the next morning, my mom was laying on the couch knocked out, I recovered her up with the blanket, I grabbed the WWE magazine, the Hardy Boyz book, my work out clothes and my demo DVD for today. I then threw my rejection letters from the colleges in my backpack to show my counselor. I went to school, I went to the counseling office first.
"Christina, kind of early isn't it?" My counselor asked.
"Yeah, for me. I wanted to see you before school, I want to discuss colleges and careers."
"Come on in." My counselor said as she invited me to sit down in her office, she pulled up my transcript.
"I know my grades aren't good, I got rejected from all the colleges besides University of Phoenix and DeVry."
"So, what are you going to do or study?"
"I applied to WWE and TNA to become a wrestler, I finished my training and in hopes that I could get hired." I said.
"What's your back up plan if that doesn't come through?"
"That's why I cam to you, I haven't really thought about that." I said as she pulled up DeVry's majors.
"Do any of these interest you?"
"Criminal Justice, that would be awesome." I said as she helped me finish my paperwork, and the bell rang, I went through rest of my day of school. I drove over to the wrestling school, Greg was there.
"Look who it is, I thought that you were done here." Greg said.
"I am, but I wanted to drop off my demo reel that I made this weekend. And I had to return your WWE magazine and book, thanks." I said handing them over to him.
"Alright, thanks for dropping those by, you want to get in the ring for a while?" Greg asked noticing my gym bag.
"Yeah, you want to wrestle me?"
"Sure, if you take it an easy on me." Greg said as he waited for me to change before we started the match, I pinned him. "So, did you apply to any wrestling promotions?" Greg asked as he sat up.
"I applied to TNA and WWE, I hope that I get a call back."
"You will one time sooner or later, why don't you start Indy wrestling on weekends, join my league." Greg said as we sat in the middle of the ring Indian style.
"Do they need anymore wrestlers?"
"Their always looking for females."
"I'm in, who do I have to talk to?" I asked.
"Me, I'm the promoter of the league, your in."
"I got a question for you, your more than welcome to say no to me."
"Shoot, I'm listening."
"Will you go to prom with me?" I asked as I just looked and played with the laces on my shoes.
"Sure, when is it?"
"You serious?" I asked in shock looking up at him.
"Yeah, when is it and when do I pick you?"
"It's May 16th, I don't have the money to do a limo or anything, so we kind of have to drive there."
"We'll take my car, it'll be more comfortable with your dress, what time should I pick you up?"
"Prom starts at 7, and it's in the banquet room of the Hilton."
"So, I'll pick you up at 6:30, we got to take photos for your parents right?" Greg asked.
"Parent, and my mom won't be home because she will be out on a business trip, but my next door neighbors are going to be there taking photos for her."
"Great."
"I know right, I got to get home, thank you so much." I said hugging him.
"Saturday we have an event at the fair, you want to do it?"
"Sure, see you there." I said as he walked me out to my car, I drove home, of course I did sloppy work on my homework, and I did the paperwork that my counselor told me to fill out. I then decided to get online and see where my applications were in the process. WWE's application said that they are reviewing it, same with TNA.
