The star bucks on campus was jam-packed like usual, the line was so long that people were standing outside the door just to get some time of fancy muffin or a simple espresso. Luckily for Barbie she had already had her priorities planned out and had got there before lunch hour, with a coffee in hand the blonde sat in the corner of the café eyeing the man behind the counter that went by the name of John Cena.

That smile of his was enough to make her melt, her eyes were glued to him as he handed the costumers their orders and offered them a simple 'have a nice day'. There were a lot of things about that boy that she just didn't understand, but the main question that struck her mind was why he didn't want to pursue her? Every other guy would line up for hours to take her out on a date.

Ashamed to admit it but she wasn't excited about her plans that were happening within just a few minutes between her and one Dolph Ziggler. Barbie had known for a while that he had a bit, well more than a bit of a crush on her, it didn't enthuse her in even the slightest. The only reason she had invited him out this evening was to attempt in making one of his best friends, John jealous or at least get to know John better. She constructed her options and though she realized that there were some closer friends of John that were options for her to pursue, it didn't take long to realize that with Dolph it would be much faster and much simpler.

It caught her a bit off guard when she saw the door to the coffee shop sling open, she had only messaged him ten minutes ago and his dorm was on the other side of campus, how could he have possibly gotten there so fast? The expressions on the two's faces were completely different, Dolph had a smile so wide it looked as if he was a kid in the candy store while Barbie sat there with a half hearted expression and an uncomfortable stance.

The young man hugged the woman across from him loosely before sitting down on one of the stools; the smile was yet to be wiped away from his face.

"If I'm going to be honest with you I was surprised when you messaged me, I mean, well…If I'm going to be completely honest I couldn't help but believe that you couldn't stand me." Dolph finished while simultaneously letting out a soft chuckle to relieve some tension and to also make it sound more amusing then it was.

"Whaaat?" She couldn't help but find herself expanding the word, although she didn't hate the guy she didn't favor him either so although what he was saying wasn't true, he was on the verge of something.

"Yea, well I guess that's just me over thinking things, right?"

"Definitely,"

The two exchanged glances for a few moments, there was a bit of uncomfortable actions and panic between them but for two completely different reasons, one was thinking 'what did I get myself into?' while the others biggest worry was 'what should I say now?'

"So, um, I see you got the coffee. Yea, I was thinking about getting one but that line is just way too long for me."

"Well would you like some?" Barbie offered, holding up the container while holding it out for him to take at the same time. Although Dolph completely made up his thirst for a cup of coffee just to start conversation he agreed to take a small sip, softly he grabbed the container, completely unaware of the heat contained in the cup, and took a teensy sip of it. It didn't take long after that small sip to realize how hot the liquid actually was causing him to slightly jump in fright and to let out a small 'ouch'.

Any cool that Dolph had when he had first walked into the door was now lost within that one gesture, he could easily tell by the look on Barbie's face that she was already turned off.

"So, tell me about you and your friends." Barbie smiled brightly, turning the subject completely around so she didn't have to waste any more time and could get to the root of her desires.

"My friends, I don't know there's Randy my roommate, April Jeanette you probably know her as AJ though, Mike Mizanin, John Cena, Phi-"

As soon as the name John Cena came about she found no reason to not cut him off, "What? John Cena… you meet the guy who works here, oh my goodness, what a coincidence." Barbie let out an amusing giggle of hers to soothe the mood but it didn't work in her favor, it just resulted into even more confusion on her date's part.

"Yes, John work's here but there's also Phil Brooks, Br-"

"No no, let's talk about John some more. I feel like we haven't covered him enough… I mean we barely even covered his likes, his dislikes, and etcetera."

The expression on Dolph's face was a bit of anger; quickly on he caught on to her game, but who couldn't? She wasn't even attempting to be subtle about it. "Well if you want to learn about likes or dislikes maybe I should start with Randy or AJ, or even Mike… I mean because I mentioned them all before I mentioned John."

"Yea, but I feel like I already know them well enough."

"Yea, what's Randy's last name?"

Quickly she was caught in her tracks with her inability to answer the question, a soft shrug was given to him on that one, and before she could even add her word in Dolph quickly stood up from his stool and grabbed his jacket off of the table. He didn't like to be played out as a fool and that's exactly what she was trying to do, her small petite hand was placed on his much larger one in an effort to make him stay, but her main focus was on him not embarrassing her in front of everyone in this café. She knew it, he knew it, and the rest of the café knew it.

"Good bye Barbie." And just with that, he was gone leaving the blonde to sit once again alone to be drenched in a pile of her own embarrassment. She looked over to see John Cena not even paying an ounce of attention to her, for once Barbie didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

It was already late in the afternoon, around three in the afternoon actually, and Maria Kanellis still hadn't found an exit from the comfort of her cookie monster t-shirt and cotton pink sheets. The plastic fork that was firmly placed in her hands was lodged into her plastic tray that was currently halfway filled with microwavable pasta.

The redhead couldn't help but find great comfort in the friend's marathon that had been going on for the past few hours, seeing Joey and Chandler's hilarious bits strengthened the heart a little bit, seeing Ross and Rachel's constant fights and outbursts gave her somewhat of a satisfaction because it made her believe that she wasn't the only one who went through heart break over love.

When the theme song hit for the next upcoming episode Maria couldn't help but to sigh happily while finishing the last of her pasta dish, before she could even put the empty tray down a knock approached her door. Assuming it was Eve or something Maria yelled out for the anonymous person to come in.

When her eyes came across the man that had just entered regret quickly piled over her, her and Phillip haven't encountered once since the night she had told him her overdue feelings for him. They might have seen one another from a long distance but they both magically found a way to avoid one another so it worked out. An awkward silence filled the room; you could see the mixed emotions of angry and hurt in her green eyes alongside his confusion and fright in his brown ones.

"What the hell do you want, Phil? I thought it was fairly obvious that I wanted nothing to do with you." The Latina snapped while slowly hopping out of her bed, ending her stance with a glare and crossed arms.

"So what Maria, you're just going to hate me and be mad at me now because I didn't feel the same way about you? I'm sorry but people aren't always going to feel the same way as you do," Sighing at that Punk realized his words weren't helping the matter, if anything they made matters worse. "Look Maria, I'm so sorry. You've got to believe me; I know what pain you're going through right now."

"Oh, really now… You know how I'm feeling? Oh, you do? Okay how on earth would you know how horrible it feels to have these feelings for somebody for so long just to feel so embarrassed and ripped apart when you get rejected, huh?"

Deeply the tatted man swallowed a mixed feeling of fright and guilt swarmed over him. In a way he felt it was unfair to leave Maria out on his feeling's for Eve since she opened up so much to him but he didn't know if he was ready for his secret to be leaked to the world, not only that Eve was Maria's best friend. Who knows how she'd react to news like that.

"Nothing, it's nothing." As he looked up from his shoes he noticed the look spread across her face, it was a look of depression and much hurt. Never before has he seen a girls eyes so close to watering over as much as Maria's was, it was almost like she could have drowned herself in her own puddle of tears. "Fine, I'll tell you… I actually have been head over heels for the same girl for over a year now and no matter how much I try she seems to always be on my mind, it's not you Maria it's definitely me, no other girl would have a chance with me because I'm to love struck on this one."

Suddenly her jaw dropped open as he finished, "What you like another girl, who? Who is it, I need to know."

Unable to get her name out Phil just shook his head and sighed, "No one. It's no one Maria."

"I can't believe you're not going to tell me after I just spilled out everything to you, wow."

"Maria you just don't get it okay, I can't tell you. I have my reason's trust me."

A laugh came from the redhead's lips but not a laugh of amusement, a laugh that signified anger and came out a bit bitchy. It frustrated her beyond belief that he wouldn't tell her this after what she had told him, even if she hadn't weren't they good enough friends to share it with one another, who would she tell?

"Yea well if you're not going to tell me then I assume you should just leave now, you're not welcomed here, in fact I don't want to see your face ever again."

"What Maria are you serious right now?"

"Yes, I am actually. Now go." Maria yelled, raising her voice in anger while pointing out the opened door. The two exchanged a finale glance before Phillip made his way out, as soon as he was out of her presence she couldn't help but fall to her knees in tears. Never in a million years did she imagine that it would end like this, all her plans involved a sanctuary and a wedding not a depressing breaking of friendship with her crying becoming as frequent as it's been this past month. She'd be lying if she said she didn't miss the comfort of his arms when he hugged her but she needed to realize, that was all over now.

"I swear last night when I went out with Layla I felt like I was in some sort of rap video, it was gruesome but at the same time lovely."

A soft giggle let loose out of Brianna's lips as her sister Nicole filled her in on all of her mischievous way's back home. This was the first time she'd seen her sisters face in over two months, she had surely missed the bubbly smile that was always spread so elegantly across Nikki Bella's features and it was so lovely to see them appear once again.

It was amazing how much has changed in both spots, Nicole finally found the courage to completely break off the on and off relationship with her former ex-boyfriend that went on for almost two years, she had dropped out of community college and was struggling so hard to pay rent while Brie had the most amazing friend's she's ever had in her life alongside the most amazing classes she's ever taken, it was a complete turnaround for them that was finally working in Brianna's favor.

"So, how have you been Brie? I haven't had an actual conversation with you in what feels like forever."

"I know, but I've been great actually I've got A's & B's in all my classes. Socially I've been great, I told you about AJ, right?" Before continuing she checked for conformation and Nikki gave her a swift nod, "Okay, good…well I've gotten close to some of her friends Dolph and Randy and whenever I'm not hanging out with them which is barely ever I'm always off with Eve or Barbie."

A look of satisfaction appeared on her twin's face at that, "Good Brie I'm so happy for you, you're looking hot as well, more and more like me every day."

Brie couldn't help but roll her eyes playfully at that, as she opened her mouth to say something the knock on the door had no trouble in cutting her off. The knock that came across her wooden door was different than an average knock, it was a special rhythm in the knock and it came from a very special person. "Randy, come in."

A smirk came across his toned lips while he came inside, "You knew it was me just by the tone of my knock, how romantic." Randy teased while walking up to Brie's computer table, popping his face in the camera for a simple wave before plopping on Brie's bed in a nonchalant form. Usually this would be seen as rude but the two had grown so close and comfortable around each other that it just came off as a normal thing friends did.

It didn't take long for Brie to notice the sexual smirk that was spread across her sister's face, she commonly caught her peaking at him in the video background and mouthing the words 'He's cute'. Nikki was never a subtle or shy girl, if she thought you were cute she wouldn't leave without saying something to someone, it couldn't help but to amuse the older twin of the two. The conversation between them led on for another 10 or 15 minutes before Brie finally had to call a quits.

"Okay well I guess I'll catch you later Nikki since Randy's here."

Once again that sexual smirk of Nikki's was plastered all over her face, she raised her eyebrows in amusement before calling out the tatted man's name, "Okay, well goodbye Randy."

Randy took a moment to escape his very comfortable position to sit up and come eye to eye with the woman behind the webcam with a soft leisurely smile, "Goodbye Nicole."

A giggle was released from both of the girl's lips around the same point in time; they said their goodbyes and cut off their webcams before returning to their lives not revolving around the computer screen.

"She seems sweet, so I'm guessing you're the evil twin all the cartoons and movies have been telling me about, huh?" Randy smirked at himself while he turned his complete focus to the woman in front of him.

The Italian let out a mocking laugh while she playfully smacked him in the head, "Very funny, Randall."

"Hey you know I don't like being called by my full name."

"I know, that's why I called you that."

"Touché,"

They both couldn't help but to smile joyfully at that, Brie found adjustment in her seating arrangements so that she could sit on her bed as well with her back leaning against the wall behind her in a comforting way, then she smirked.

"Oh, that's one of your thinking looks, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about us…. I have a question for you; did you ever think that you and I would be this close, let alone friends?"

"I did, and you want to know why?"

"No why?"

Randy leaned forward and gave her one of those heart melting looks of his, it didn't matter who you were or how you felt towards him if he gave you one of those looks of his you'd feel so bubbly inside. "It's because I'm just too good."

Brie's smile was quickly token away over that, once again this man had made her giggle but she didn't want him to get the satisfaction, she reached over and grabbed the pillow that was nearest to her and smacked Randy across his face with a bit of force.

So when I first started this story I had GREAT success. I had about 8 reviews each chapter and I was fulfilled, so I though it'd be a good idea to stop with the whole '5 reviews for update thing' but then when I stopped I got barely two reviews on each chapter that came after that so, the rule is back on.

If you want the next chapter I need at-least 5 reviews.
