The weather today was absolutely perfect; it was around the high eighties with clear blue skies. The suns gaze soaked into the Italians skin as she made her way through the flower beds that were places so elegantly in front of the admissions office.

Brie Bella had a committed love for nature, flowers and plants were such a beautiful sight that excited her more than the average person.

With all the school work that had been piling in alongside all the financial issues that she'd been struggling with this one on one time between her and nature was not only very distracting but very relieving as well.

With the graveled constructed pathway that ran through the garden it was very simple to hear if someone was coming up behind you, as a reflex the brunettes head quickly spun its way around to only find another disappointment, Randy Orton.

"Why is it that every time I turn, there's your face?"

A chuckle was let out of the chiseled mans soft lips, not breaking his stare from the woman in front of him as he continued on, "I don't know but I'd count yourself lucky, imagine how many girls would love to see me that much."

"Wow, you're just so full of it." A scowl and a moan of disgust came sufficiently from Brie.

Another chuckle was released from Randy but luckily for Brie she wasn't around to hear it, she was already halfway down the graveled pathway heading back to her dorm room.

"What, that's all you're going to say to me? I don't even get a goodbye."

Brie couldn't help but to roll her eyes as he called out to her from behind, she avoided any eye contact and just watched the pathway ahead of her. Her high heels made a loud collision as she made contact with the pavement ahead of her which echoed loud enough for Randy's ears to hear leaving an amused smirk plastered on his face. Suddenly he felt a tap on his shoulder and when he turned to realize the mystery man was Dean Ambrose his smirk quickly faded.

"What do you want?"

The tone of his voice was threatening but it didn't scare Dean in the slightest, he shrugged his shoulders in a nonchalant form while slipping the bundled up brown bag into Randy's hands.

"Look, I don't want that. I thought I made it clear I don't want that crap near me."

"The first one's free, just try a sample okay. What's it going to hurt, there's not enough in there to kill you and what are the odds anyways… Come on, take it."

This time around when Dean placed it in Randy's hand he didn't let go, this time he actually gripped onto it and kept it close to him. While doing so it felt like a huge mistake, but before he could change his mind Dean was off.

It didn't take long for Brie to make it to her dorm room due to it only being a half a block away from the administration's office. The woman looked at her door and the door across from it several times before finally deciding to knock on her friend's door.

Within seconds the door flew open revealing her friend AJ standing there with her hair pulled back into a messy yet cute pony-tail wearing a Pikachu shirt and bright yellow shorts to match, only AJ could make something so simple look so classy.

"Brianna, hi, what's up?" The 100 pound woman asked, stepping out of the door way signaling that her friend could come in, eventually the two ended up sitting at the end of AJ's unmade twin bed.

"Oh nothing, I was out observing the flowers like I've been dying to do to relieve a bit but that jerk Orton came along and ruined it. Is he always so, obnoxious?"

A giggle was let out of AJ's glossed lips while she nodded to the question. "Definitely, but he loosens up once he gets to know you. He's not that bad, I promise. You've just got to give him a chance."

"I don't know how I could possibly give a guy that annoying a chance, but I'll trust you."

The two exchanged a bit of small talk for half an hour, they talked about some of the boys on campus – Dolph was the main person mentioned in that topic, they discussed a few school assignments and issues that were going on at home, even things as simple as what song they heard on the radio that they fell in love with, that topic was disrupted by an abrupt knock that came upon the door.

Before even giving a 'come in' or a 'who is it?' Dolph decided it was okay to just let himself inside.

"Hi doll face, hi Brie."

A smirk spread across Brie's lips as he called her companion doll face, she gave one of her many looks to her friend that signified a 'oh yea' or 'go girl'.

"What brings you here, Ziggler?"

"Well Barbie and I had plans but she basically stood me up, so I thought I'd come by and surprise you, but since you've got company maybe I should ju-"

The Italian wouldn't let another word slip from the bleached blondes lips before she quickly picked up her loose items off of the dresser, "No, don't worry about it. I was on my way out anyways; I've got a lot of studying to do. So I'll see you around AJ and you two Dolph."

Without accepting their goodbyes the door was closed to leave only the two.

"So, what did you have planned?"

X

The redheaded Latina was setting herself up for her own destruction, she had invited Phillip and his roommate over for a glass of wine and her TV to watch the big fight tonight together, the four all chipped in to pay for the paper view, but what the two men didn't know was that this wasn't just a party to her, this was her golden opportunity to entice Phil and tell him her feelings about him that have been ferociously bottled up inside for the past few years.

Maria was dressed in a skin tight dress, exposing a bit of cleavage while simultaneously showing off her backside. Her hair was lightly curled to perfection and swiftly placed on her bare shoulders. Eve was planning on dressing simply, a t-shirt in shorts and a pair of yoga pants but Maria implied that she didn't want to look like the one trying too hard, Eve managed to keep it casual and just fancy enough for Maria with a pair of jean shorts and a light purple sweater.

"I just thought I'd let you know I'm proud of you for finally finding the courage to confess your feelings, and hey if he feels the same way, please allow me to be your maid of honor." She teased at her friend while putting a few empty wine glasses on the coffee table.

"Of course, and if my plan works don't be afraid to put this little night in your maid of honor speech" Maria couldn't help but to smile to herself at the thought of them getting married, obviously it was a farfetched thing to think about but every girl does it once, right?

Suddenly a knock approached their wooden door, unexpectedly a wave of panic flushed over Maria. Her palms felt like they were sweating and her stomach was in knocks, she's told guys she's had feelings for them before and it always worked out but this time it was Punk, he was different in so many ways. Not to mention this was the first time she wasn't even somewhat sure that the person she was confessing her feelings for actually liked her back.

"Hello you guys." Eve smiled as she saw the two in the door way, Phil was carrying a few bags of chips while Mike stood there with two liters of Pepsi in his hands.

As she allowed them in they took a look at the other girl in the apartment who was currently wearing one of her most revealing outfits that existed in their apartment, they looked her up and down observing her choice of clothing, and they couldn't decide if they were confused by the clothing choice or amused by it.

"Nice outfit." Miz let out with a smirk, his eyes were currently glued on her which led Eve to be laughing to herself in the corner at the uncomfortable look on Maria's face.

"Yea, well I guess I just threw it together." The redhead lied through her smile while she shrugged her shoulders loosely, turning her gaze over to where Phillip was standing. It was not in her liking at all to see him paying his attention to the snacks that were located next to the mini fridge then at her, so she decided to take a little bit of action.

"Do you two want anything?"

"Yes, actually can I have chocolate chip-"

"We don't have that." Maria responded abruptly as she quickly paced her way over to her crush parting Eve and Mike for themselves. The giggle that fit so perfectly with the brunette's personality flowed out again as she smiled at the confused expression plastered on his face.

"What the hell is up with her?" Mike asked with a soft chuckle as he followed Eve to the couch.

"Why else do you think she'd pay for some fight and dress provocatively like that? She's trying to impress Phil tonight because she's going to tell him her little secret." The tone Eve used lowered when she mentioned her friend's feelings for the tatted man standing a few meters away from her; she didn't want to be the one to spill the beans.

The smile that was spread so elegantly across her face was quickly transferred to the other person who was sitting on that couch for the time being but was removed when the conversation that him and Phil had on the way over came to mind. The two spent a solid half an hour discussing whether or not Punk should just put away his unknown feelings for Eve and move on to someone he had a shot with, but of course like always Phil was defensive as could be and just wouldn't let it go.

Mike let out a slight eye roll before he responded, "Dear God I hope he says he likes her back, maybe it'll be the first step in moving on from- um, a girl out of his league." Catching himself in the act he quickly changed the name.

The slip excited the Latina and he could easily tell, "Wait he likes' another girl, who?"

"I already told you, she's out of his league." Mike nodded again, agreeing with himself but also signaling Eve to just drop the subject.

"Well do you think I should warn Maria, should she even be telling him her feeling right now, God knows rejection wouldn't be good for her when she's so vulnerable?"

"Oh no, definitely not, if anything this could be fantastic for him… I mean, it'll finally give him that push to move on from her, which is needed, trust me."

The night went by successfully at first; Maria practically wouldn't let Phil out of her sight. The fight itself went great; it was an intense match that didn't lose your focus for one second, it even had Phil and Mike jumped out of their seats screaming a few times due to their inability to contain their enthusiasm. The four had a lot of good laughs and their smiles seemed to stick for the whole hour and a half, everything went a bit downhill around the after show.

Like usual Punk's eye wandered around the room so that he could take a glance of Eve, sometimes he found himself admiring her beauty and expressions for a long period of time luckily for him the only person whoever caught him in the act was Mike. Although this time there was something different and something he didn't like at all.

He observed her stature closely and from his view he thought that her and Mike were sitting a little too close together on that couch, not only was her head laying on his shoulder but Mike's hand was placed on her leg.

The tatted man's mouth opened up due to his instincts to say something but he was cut short just in time when Maria called his name from across the room, an annoyed sigh was let out of his cold lips as he made his way over to her.

"Hey, so… I'm guessing you've noticed me acting differently tonight."

"Yea, what was that even about anyways?"

The two exchanged eye-contact which resulted in a long period of silence, the panic that came from their knock on the door came back to the redhead but this time 100 times worse, the knots in her stomach increased alongside the pounding of her heart, but she found a way to shake it off. The two could hear the reactions of the other party that was currently sitting on the couch watching their every move and word, for some reason that also helped mellow her out.

"Well I guess I've just been freaking out because, well, I'm all panicked out because I've been planning all night to tell you that I've had feelings for you for the longest time."

The words came out in a stuttered form and a low tone but either way they were very effective, the expression across his face told the whole story, the last thing he was expecting was that. The two had known each other for over two years now and she's just now filling him in on this? But then again, who was he to talk, not to mention he was exclusive with Barbie most of the time he knew her.

Due to being in complete shock the only word that he could let out was, feelings? You could see the panic in her eyes as he questioned her, she nodded again and let out a deep and heavy sigh.

"Maria, I'm sorry. But no, I don't see you that way at all and I never will."

For that moment the room was dead silent, Maria was standing there in despair trying her hardest not to start crying, she couldn't even respond with an oh because she felt like it the middle of it she'd burst out into tears. Phillip stood there in awe because this still hasn't sunken in yet, the thought of Maria having any possible feelings for him never even crossed his mind, it seemed illogical.

"I've got to go." He let out, not taking a moment to even look at anyone else, especially not Eve or Maria. The steps that he took to and out of the door were heavily paced, the silence stayed present.
