I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Carol's Point of View-
I grabbed my carry on bag that held all the paperwork; I pulled out my contract and introduction night sheet to make sure I had it. I changed into capri pants and a black shirt that said 'I only throw away boy's' and it had the recycle symbol on it. I grabbed my carry on bag sticking the paperwork back in it; I slid my phone in my pocket and grabbed my room key heading out to the arena so I could turn in the contract. I went out front getting on the free shuttle to the arena, I went around to the back showing my guest pass faxed to me and I was allowed in. I found a security guard walking around and I stopped him.
"Excuse me, I'm here for the Diva search, do you know who I need to speak with?" I asked.
"Yeah, you need to go talk to J.R., third door on the left." He said.
"Thanks." I said walking up to the door knocking lightly on the door before it was opened by J.R.
"Carol Kent?" He asked.
"That's me, sorry for being late, flights were delayed." I said.
"That's what I've heard, come in." He said, I walked in and there was one other girl in there, she was skinny mini, she just gave me a disgusted look. "Carol meet Lindsey, a fellow contestant."
"Hello." I said extending my hand and she shrugged it off, I moved my hand back and put it in my pocket.
"Do you have your contract and medical sheets?" J.R. asked, I pulled them out of my bag handing them over. J.R. caught me up on their discussion so far about the Diva search.
"Who is hosting it this year?" I asked curiously.
"Jeff Hardy." J.R. said.
"One of my favorites." I said excitedly, he continued discussing what we are to do and how we are judged.
"You should go get ready." J.R. said, Lindsey and I got up heading out of the room.
"Don't get your hopes up Ca-rol, fat asses like you never win these things." Lindsey said rudely.
"Don't get your hopes up Lind-sey, rude snobby son of bitches like you never win in the end." I shot back, Lindsey walked away, I went and found myself a dark hallway to distant myself from those people who think just because I'm fat I won't be able to win. I sat there texting Jerry about Lindsey and Beth, I was interrupted from my texting when I heard a PA talking in his walkie-talkie
"We can't find Carol Kent." He said.
"I'm right here." I said getting to my feet and bent over to pick up my bag.
"Your up, we found her." He said, he took my bag and showed me to the line of the other Diva search contestants, I saw him set my bag to the side, I walked by a monitor showing Jeff in the ring and I saw Beth standing there.
"Beth?" I asked.
"Carol, what are you doing here?" Beth asked in just as much shock.
"I'm here for the Diva search."
"Awesome, you got my vote."
"Thanks, isn't Jeff your husband?"
"The one and only."
"I'm a big fan of his."
"You just now realize he's my husband?"
"Yes, I'm very dense." I said as the PA pushed me to move forward.
"We'll talk after this segment, good luck." Beth said as I was next up.
"Carol Kent!" Jeff Hardy announced, I nervously walked out onto the stage and followed the others down the ramp and climbed into the ring, I looked at the eight other girls next to me, and my confidence is now in hell because it is so low. Jeff announced the rules and next weeks stipulation of ball gowns. "Now, getting to know your Diva search contestants." Jeff said, he started at the other end and worked his way down to me.
"Alright, last but not least, Carol Kent, tell us a little bit about yourself." He said handing me the microphone.
"I'm Carol Kent from Raleigh, North Carolina, I've wrestled for three years and I'm a proud BBW." I said snapping my fingers.
"Fellow North Carolinian awesome!" He said giving me a high five, "But I'm curious to know what a BBW is?" He asked.
"Big and Beautiful woman baby!" I answered honestly; he bit his lip trying not to laugh.
"That's good." He said pointing at me, the crowd thought it was funny, whatever to get the most votes. "Alright, your Diva search contestants of 2009!" Jeff said, he held the ropes open for us to climb out, we individually walked up the ramp and I was met by Beth.
"That was good, but I told you you're not big." Beth said as I could tell she was trying not laugh.
"But I am." I said
"You can say that again." Lindsey said as she walked by.
"That's kind of harsh, what's her issue?" Beth asked.
"She's just a bitch, she has made it clear that fat people like me shouldn't be here, but I think she's more worried that I'll beat her sorry ass in this diva contest." I said not worried, even though I am.
"Don't listen to her."
"Wasn't planning on it." I said lying through my teeth, Jeff walked up to us; he wrapped his arm around Beth and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Jeff, this is Carol, I met her on the plane and apparently she's a Diva search contestant." Beth said.
"Yeah, hey Carol I'm Jeff, you're the BBW girl?" Jeff asked.
"One and only." I said giggling.
"Beth has told me some stuff you were talking about on the flight; I would love for you to come out with us tonight." Jeff offered.
"Nah, I don't want to be the third wheel." I said.
"You won't be a third wheel, my brother Matt is coming with along with Shane, Talia, Shannon, and Julie." Jeff said.
"Please?" Beth asked in a begging manner.
"Fine, I'll go." I said as Beth excitedly hugged me, "You know, this is a very strange day." I said.
"You're my long lost BFF." Beth said.
"Right, Jeff she didn't drink a little this morning or before you came here?" I asked.
"Not that I know of or saw." Jeff said.
"I'm going back to the hotel, when you get there I'm in room 3442." I said as I picked up my bag they set aside earlier for me.
"We'll send Matt up." Jeff said.
"Why? I mean, why can't one of you come get me?" I asked nervously playing with my hair.
"Because he's the single one." Beth said.
"So…" I said.
"You like him don't you? You think he's SEXY." Jeff said as he licked his finger putting it on his body, "SSS…."
"I thought you were too until you did that." I said giving him a disgusted look.
"You want him?" Beth asked.
"Nah…" I said.
"Fine." Jeff said crossing his arms.
"Could you please come get me? You saw me in my sweats and non make up etc." I said looking at Beth.
"Matt won't care." Jeff said.
"Sh…" I said pointing at him.
"Fine, me and the girls will come get you." Beth said.
"I'm a girl." Jeff said in a girly voice.
"You look like one, but something is telling me your not." I said looking him up and down.
"Are you sure? You haven't seen it." Jeff said.
"I'm sorry Beth." I said, I walked up pulling out his jeans to look.
"HEY!" Jeff exclaimed pushing jeans shut.
"Just checking." I said, Beth was cracking up laughing.
"I like you." Jeff said as Beth had to leave and come back trying to contain her laughter.
"I like me too." I said smiling as Beth was still trying to catch her breath from laughter.
"Matt will totally like this girl." Beth said.
"Anyways I'm off." I said.
"Could we get your phone number?" Beth asked.
"Sure." I said, we exchanged phone numbers. I walked the back way out of the arena and had a security guard escort me to the front to get a cab over to the hotel.
