The first morning at the Lenox hotel had just become a reality for these Covington Students. At this time it was a quarter after nine and nearly the entire student and faculty were in their queen size beds snoozing away or ordering room service.

John Cena, Cody Rhodes, and Randy Orton decided that they wanted to paint the town red. By 9:30 two men were standing in the lobby near the entrance way awaiting Randy's arrival. Cody Rhodes was dressed in a burgundy button up with a pair of dark blue jeans while John Cena was wearing a navy blue t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans.

John had been playing on his phone nearly all morning. He had texted Maria Kanellis last night around 7 telling her that he had got there and still no response. Was she ignoring him on purpose or was something wrong? Cody glanced over at him with a raised eyebrow. The man let out a soft chuckle.

"You like that phone, don't you?"

"Mm, just a little." John smirked subtly before slipping his phone back into his pocket.

Cody nodded as he watched the elevator for Randy Orton but out slipped someone that looked a little different. Out came a tanned Goddess with long brown waves and legs that went for days. Her outfit of choice was a casual black dress with a pair of leggings to hide from the cold. A smirk approached his lips as he watched her make her way towards the door.

Eve chilled up a little when she saw the two but quickly calmed down, she wasn't shocked in a lot of ways she was expecting Cody to be the first face she saw. A small smile came across her lips as she acquainted the two men.

"Hey boys, you're going out too?"

"Hey Eve. Yeah, were just waiting for Randy. How'd you sleep?" Asked John.

"Good, and you guys?"

"Alright." Cody added in as he looked the woman up and down, "where you going?"

"Don't know yet. Thought I would take a breather before Barbie goes Cheerzilla on us."

Before anymore words could be said John's phone went off and a smile came across his lips immediately. He quickly pushed the smile away while simultaneously pulling out his phone. "I've got to take this, be right back."

The moment John began to walk away Eve's body chilled as she looked up to Cody's eyes on her.

"Remember last year exactly we were on this same trip. Except instead of Boston it was Tampa Florida. You went wild that night."

Eve's mouth couldn't help but form into a smirk, she glanced up at him and nodded. "It was one of the only times I've gotten drunk and boy did I get drunk. I got chewed out the next morning by Barbie too because my splits were sloppy."

A chuckle approached Cody's lips. "Remember that we were threatened to get kicked out of the hotel for skinny dipping in that hot tub."

Eve giggled softly as she put her hands in her face. She shook her head as she remembered that moment. "Oh I felt so bad, we got in so much trouble."

"Yeah but it was fun… we had fun Eve."

The brunette looked at him and then it quickly grew silent again. It was another stare off that was broken up by a third party. Randy came up to the two of them and greeted.

"Hey guys." It was then where they broke eye contact and he was feeling uncomfortable "I'm officially the world's biggest cock blocker."

A sigh of disgust came from Eve's mouth before she walked out of the hotel in a somewhat hurried form. Randy looked at Cody's face and bit his bottom lip.

"Sorry…"

"No big deal. It wasn't anything… we were just talking. I missed it more than I thought I did…"

Back at Covington the students had their heads in books but their minds in the clouds. Maria Kanellis however was somewhere else completely. Her head was not in books but rather placed in the palms of her hands with a mind that was racing rapidly.

Last night she woke up to sticky notes surrounding her entire room. Each individual one had a word on it, prepare. Maria was shaken up. She couldn't wrap her head around the fact that he was in her room and she didn't even know, she wasn't prepared.

The woman was going to make sure that wasn't going to happen ever again. She put off her AP Psychology class to safety-proof her dorm room. There were three webcams, two facing the door and the other facing the window. One sat on top of her TV while the other two hung from her ceiling. On her door held a bell, it alerted you whenever the door had opened. Lastly her windows were nailed shut to be sure that nothing could come through her windows.

Maria hated to admit it but she needed John. Being without him made this 10x harder because at least with him around she felt like she had some sort of a protector. Plus Maria didn't believe it was very ironic that the first night John was out of town someone broke into her home. This mastermind was crafty. It wasn't until this morning she finally came across his name. Fear took over her and she had to figure it out so she was quick to text Maryse and get all the details. Unfortunately the only details she could give was his first name and his lack of an occupation.

His name was Christopher and he was unemployed. Where was Maria supposed to get with that? She even asked Maryse for the name of her date that night and any information she could collect on him. His name was Christian, they were best friends so that was a good lead.

The redhead looked through phonebooks and online profiles all day for both Chris's and Christian's. First she looked through every Chris in the area and none of them matched up but very few of the profile pictures did any justice. You either couldn't tell what they looked like or it wasn't even them just some sports symbol.

Next she went through the Christian's and through every page she searched for a Chris in the friends section. It was a dead end.

While she was deep in her study her door opened, you could tell by the bell. In her doorway stood Mike Mizanin. For once she was actually relieved to see him.

"Sorry I didn't knock, I didn't think you were here. Um what's with the bell?" Mike chuckled as he looked up at the top of door frame. Maria let out a small eye roll before thinking about replying.

"It's there to add some pizazz to the room. Now what do you want?"

"Oh well, Eve called me and she realized when she was packing that she didn't have any bags. I let her borrow my gym stringed bag but I thought I'd come by her and see if I could find it?"

"I don't care just hurry up."

"Okay, okay." The Miz raised his hands in defense as he walked around the room. This was the first time these two have encountered in weeks but overall there wasn't any awkwardness – which came to both of their surprise. Mike scanned the room and looked under Eve's old bed, he began to move things around and found nothing. He then moved over to the closet, Mike felt Maria's eyes watching him but he just shook it off.

He went through and found a few of Eve's belongings and smiled as he pulled them out, as he raised his arms to pull the things from the top what came to focus was what was on top of Maria's dresser. Behind her TV laid a knife, his eyes widened as he glanced over at the woman.

Suddenly he came to a loss of words because he couldn't decide if he should speak up or leave it alone. He came to a decision to speak up after the long awkward eye contact between the two.

"Are you in training to be a ninja or something?"

"What are you talking about Mike?"

Mike began to reach for the knife and Maria began to come to realize what he was talking about. She jumped up from her spot and eagerly yelled for him not to touch it. The atmosphere between them grew pretty awkward but before could even speak.

"Mike get out, I need to be alone."

"Maria…"

"Michael. Get out or I'll yell rape."

The chiseled man rolled his eyes and nodded as he made his way out the door.

"If you need anyone to talk to though Maria, call me."

"Don't plan on it." The redhead bitched as she slammed the door in his face.

Barbie Blank was stressed to the max. Tomorrow was the big competition and every second since they stepped foot in Boston it's been practice, practice, and surprise more practice. The woman was settling on 8 hours of sleep the whole trip and was exhausted.

The woman was sitting on the auditorium stage at around two AM with a cup of coffee in hand. Her goal wasn't even to fall asleep anymore but to stay away so that her body wasn't drowsy during the competition. It didn't make much sense but to her it kind of did.

Suddenly she heard footsteps. She looked up to see a blonde man walking down the aisle with his hands in his sweatpants pockets. A smirk was plastered on her face while her eyebrow was raised in confusion. Why was he up?

"Dolph. I didn't expect to see you here."

"Neither did I at two in the morning but Eve called when she woke up and you weren't there. She asked if you were with me and I told her that you weren't, then she got worried but I reassured her that I would find you. This was the first place I looked."

A faint smile spread across Barbie's lips as she pushed a couple of blonde strands out of her face. "How'd you know?"

"Well on the way here I overheard you talking to Maryse about being in the auditorium training in your free time and I knew you weren't out with everyone else partying tonight. The great Barbie Blank would never drink the night before a big competition."
"Did the girls go out? I told them no drinking." The blonde puffed out with an annoyed expression. Her eyes scanned the room and then came back onto Dolph's smirk, she let out another soft chuckle. "So you've seen my really competitive side."

"I've seen your competitive side multiple times. It's cute."
Barbie Blank narrowed her eyes and let out a soft uncomfortable laugh. You could feel how timid she was. This was a side of Barbie Blank that wasn't apparent often. Dolph reached down to grab the woman's hand and for a moment she stood still and grasped onto his hand, but that was only for a moment. It didn't take long for her to pull her hand away and break the contact.

"What's with you? I'm failing to understand your angle." Dolph bitched for a moment in frustration.

"I'm trying to figure it out too. Good night." The blonde faked a smile and walked up the ramp. Why did she feel like everywhere she went and every move she could make led to a sinking ship? This attraction was pulling her in and felt like something that glowed in the darkness, it was captivating, but it was scary. Terrifying would be a better term.

Barbie felt like a weak little girl when she was around him. Just his stare felt paralyzing. She didn't like feeling weak or confused. The game was what she was good at. But this situation was too simple for games which made it more difficult. Without the game in relationship what was there for Barbie to offer? That was the story waiting to be written.

Ah the update took a little longer than I imagined. My excuse for that? SCHOOL. Oh it is awful.

Anyways, 5+ Reviews for an update. (If I get 5+ before march 21th it'll be up)
