Times Have Changed-

"Is it sad that I had no idea you lived this close to me?" John asks as I enter his house.

"No, not really." I lied following John upstairs to his room, a situation most girls would kill to be in.

"Thank you by the way, you didn't have to do this."

"Not a problem." I reply smiling as I take a seat on his bed, studying the various posters and pictures that covered his walls.

"So, how do you like Cushing so far?"

"It's okay, I mean It's my freshman year so I'm still trying to figure everything out."

"Well if you need any help, just ask." He says, causing me to smile, and if I could blush, I would bright red right about now.

"T-T-Thanks. Should we get started?" I say, opening up the massive chemistry book. "Chapter 1....."

-----

"Go away!!" I yell at the person who was persistently knocking on my door.

The knocking didn't stop.

Cursing as I look at the clock I realize that it's eight o'clock in the morning, I get up to go off on the person who had interrupted my sleep.

"What!" I yell opening the door, but immediately regret when I see who is on the other side. It was Mickie Jame and Layla El, holding coffee and big bag which looked like it could be filled with food.

"Sorry." I mutter, stepping aside to the let them.

"Not a morning person?" Layla asks putting the coffee down on a table. I shake my head as a response.

"I'm not either, but Layla dragged me over here." Mickie says taking a seat in a chair. "She thought it would be a good idea to introduce ourselves."

"Thanks, sorry if I'm not dressed. I, Uh. Wasn't expecting anybody." I groan looking down at the black basketball shorts and white tank top, that I was wearing.

"Not a problem." Layla chirps. "How do you like your coffee?"

"Sweet and with a lot of cream." I reply, taking a seat at the table with them.

"So how do you like Raw?" Mickie asks, taking a muffin out of a brown paper bag.

"It was great. I'm just taking it one step at a time." I say taking a sip of the coffee that Layla hands to me.

"What do you think of your storyline?" Layla bluntly asks, causing Mickie to slap her in the head.

"Excuse my friend, she's very uhh."

"Blunt." I say finishing Mickie's statement, causing all three of us to laugh. "It's okay."

"I would've killed to be in a storyline like that when I started off. " Layla says.

I smile, trying my best to avoid this conversation. "Yeah lucky me." I say full of sarcasm, hoping they wouldn't notice.

They did.

"What you don't like John?" Layla asks as she picks the nuts off her muffin and pops them into her mouth.

"We kind of have a history together." I respond, causing both girls to give me a curious glance. "No, not like that. It's complicated."

"A bunch of us are getting together tonight before everyone leaves, you should come." Mickie says thankfully changing the subject.

"Uhh."

"Pleeeasse! It's going to be so much fun and everyone will be there." Layla chips in.

"Sure." I say giving in.

"Good, we'll meet you in the lobby around eight." Mickie says as she and Layla give me a hug before leaving.

-----

"So what are we doing tonight?" My best friends Elle asks me, laying down on my bed reading one of the various magazines that were around my room.

"Ummm. I'm kind of going out tonight." I reply, looking at myself in the mirror.

"What!" Elle says dropping the magazine on the floor as she quickly raises up.

"It's nothing, I'm just meeting somebody to get a bite to eat."

"With who Roxy?"

"John Cena." I mumble.

"SHUT UP! You are not!" Elle replies holding back her laughter.

"I am, he asked me to dinner tonight."

"Oh my goodness. You're being serious right now." Elle says looking at the expression on my face. "So is this like a date?"

"I don't know. It's no big deal, it's just food."

"Please. You've had a secret crush on John Cena since the first time you moved out here! Do not lie to me Roxanne Withers!"

"It's not that serious Elle, I'm just a freshman and he's a senior. Plus he never knew I existed until a couple months ago."

"So what, he knows you exist now Roxy and that's all that matters." Elle replies getting up from my bed and going into my closet, peeking out moments later. "Now lets find you something to wear."

-------

Slipping on my white baby doll dress, which compliments my dark skin perfectly, I put my silver heels on and grab my clutch purse before heading downstairs to the lobby.

"Hi!!" Layla yells, hugging me when I enter the lobby. "Wow, you look fantastic."

"Thanks, you guys do too." I say as Mickie approaches us.

"We're just waiting for a couple more people than we can leave." Mickie says. "But for now let me introduce you to some people."

"This is Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, Ted Dibiase, Shad Gaspard, and Jayson Paul." Mickie says, as I mumble my 'Hello'.

"So you don't mind riding with Randy, Cody, John, and myself? Cause the other car is full?" And just as Mickie asks I hear the elevator open up and John comes out wearing a black button up shirt and a dark pair of jeans.

"Umm. Not at all." I mutter, following everyone out the doors of the hotel and into the rental car.

This was going to be a long night.
