I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
A/N: I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS THAT LONG SINCE THE LAST UPDATE, I'M GOING TO TRY MY ABSOLUTE BEST TO UPDATE MORE OFTEN.
I climbed out when it was time to disperse to work with our opponent or teammate, whatever way you wanted to word it for the time being. I climbed out of the ring following Heather to where she wanted to work together but we could honestly go into the women's 'dressing' room that they had designated for us which was barely ever used because both Heather and I always came dressed already but it was considerate they thought of us. Heather led us into the women's dressing room, I straddled the tiny bench facing here as I was mentally yelling at how stupid she was for making me work with her because she was being a feminist or whatever for not wanting to work with the men for whatever god damn reason she had.
"I want to be the face." Heather stated as I kind of figured, she looked like the goody two shoes out of the two of us.
"Okay…" I said nodding as we began speaking to each other, this was probably the only time I wouldn't want to kill her since I was beyond excited to actually perform a match rather than learning something. Tonight was going to be just like any promotion, cutting a promo and/or performing a match. A knock came to the door getting both of our attentions.
"We are ready to start." Matt said through the door as we nodded, we both stood up heading out of the locker room.
"Do we have any volunteers to go first?" Jeff asked as he pushed himself off the apron of the ring. I looked to Heather wanting to volunteer but she shook her head no as I knew she was nervous but I wanted to get things done and over with. I let out a sigh as I rolled my eyes glancing to other pairs in the class who were doing the same thing, "No volunteers, then I guess we will just have to pick and if that is the case, ladies first." Jeff said as I smirked as I was kind of excited that we were going first. I always hated going first in class because you were the guinea pig, if you were last or anything after first you had time to fix any quirks your presentation had but if you went first then it's like pulling off the band-aid, do it quick. It'll be done so you won't be stressed nor worried about it anymore.
"Let's do this." I said smirking as I excitedly went to the 'ramp' that Matt and Jeff tried to put together within the short time they had given us to put our matches together.
"I know it won't be much without entrance music, but do the best you can." Matt said as we both nodded as Jeff took a drink of water before he rolled into the ring to be the ref. I stepped in front of Heather since I was heel and I would have to go first. Matt began to do introductions with the whole 'introducing first,' when I stepped onto the fake ramp facing the ring smiling as I began to do what I had hoped to be my heel entrance but it would off course be better with music and I was more embarrassed doing it in front of a crowd and felt stupid doing it. I slid into the ring and climbed onto the second turnbuckle yelling out onto the crowd that was filled with fellow students in my class trying to heckle them as I jumped off the turnbuckle walking over to Matt who began to ask these fake interview questions and I tried my best to amp up that I was the heel of the match which I presumed was working well considering the fellow students were booing, but that could just be because they knew I was going to be the heel considering the order that Heather and I had came out. After the interview questions that Matt had came up with, he then begun to introduce Heather as I leant back against the turnbuckles watching her entrance unenthused and rolling my eyes as she made her entrance and climbed into the ring with me as she stared at me with a smile as I rolled my eyes yet again as I pushed myself off the turnbuckles as we both began to walk around the ring staring each other down. I was more excited to be able to knock her teeth out if I really wanted to but I needed to be professional and work with her on things she hasn't fully developed on but yet exploiting those particular things for the sake of Jeff and Matt's knowledge. Heather can't get help on moves or things unless if it is brought to their attention, I can't say much because I am sure there are moves and things that I need more practice on but I feel more confident that I am better off than her right about now. I still have that jealous rage in me from Heather's constant blushing and teasing and flirting with Jeff, which I have no clue why. The match was over sooner than I had hoped but we did have a time frame to get this match over with. After the match I slowly rolled towards the apron that I slowly slid under the rope and forced myself to fall over the edge of the apron landing on the thin padding we had surrounding the ring for these such moments along with other reasoning. Jeff walked over to me after he had rolled out of the ring as well as Matt did that whole fake promo thing with Heather as I smirked.
"How was that?" I asked curiously as Jeff chuckled and smiled down at me.
"Pretty darn good, there was just a few word choices I would have changed but it was a pretty good promo and the match was pretty darn considering you were working with her. I got it all taped for you and I think it will be a good audition tape so you can now begin submitting to promotions that Matt and I do." Jeff said as he stuck his hand out, "Come on." Jeff said as he stood up from his squatted position as I grasped his hand and he helped me to my feet where he 'helped' me to the back and such.
"Is Matt going to be able to edit it for me to put it all together?" I asked curiously as we got to the back.
"Matt said he could and he has plenty of blank DVDs that he could burn it onto for us so that you can send out multiple manila envelopes or you can even come with Matt and I to these shows and we will introduce you to the promoter to meet them in person. Hell, if you do that you never know because he may need an extra pair of hands that night to step in for someone that couldn't make it or just to help set the ring up or something small for a smaller fund than wrestling but cash is cash." Jeff said with a shrug.
"That is true, when are you and Matt performing next?" I asked curiously as I pushed a strand of my hair behind my ear.
"Next Saturday, but it's our show that we are running but I am sure we can use some roadies."
"I'll do it free of cost to help pay you back." I said jumping at the chance.
"If you want, but let me pay for dinner at least." Jeff said with a smile.
"It's a date then." I said smiling.
"Alright, go sit in the audience and be the heckler you are." Jeff said patting me on the shoulder before he ran back out the way we just came as I went in a different direction to join other students sitting in the audience portion of the training facility. I slid to the ground pulling my legs to fold into the Indian style seating so that I could leave room for others. I watched each of the other matches that were to be performed and after each match we waited for the next match after Matt and Jeff gave critiques of each match or promo that was given.
"Alright, that was it for class. For the most part, this was a good class. See you guys tomorrow." Matt said as I stood up and began to dust off my butt unsure if I had any dust on it from sitting on the ground. I said a few good-byes to the fellow students as I stood aside taking a drink from my water waiting for Jeff to be ready to go. "You want some pizza?" Matt asked me curiously.
"Uh…sure?" I asked confused as to why he was asking me this.
"Of course you do." Matt said smiling as he wrapped an arm around me as he began to lead me towards his house and Jeff wasn't that far behind us as he was locking up the facility. Matt let us into his giant house where he called up a local pizza joint ordering pizza for delivery as Matt led us to one of many rooms where there was a desktop computer and we each found a chair to pull up to view the monitor. Matt plugged the camera up to the computer to transfer the items from the camera to the computer for better viewing and easier to access and edit such items. I watched as Matt made a specific folder for my videos that he dragged the videos that consisted of me into for easier accessibility. I leant back in my seat watching and not sure what to say cause I haven't edited a video a day in my life much less do I know how to do a highlight reel nor what a booker looks for. I sat there just watching Matt click and drag away at the computer and Jeff pointing and speaking his mind to help. Matt and Jeff continued working on this video for and of me until the doorbell rung getting us to stop momentarily to go retrieve the pizza and we sat at his huge dining room table.
"I was thinking she could tag with us next weekend for our show." Jeff said before he bit into his slice of pizza as I glanced to Matt seeing him nodding, and I felt like I was the third wheel, I wasn't here by the way they were talking about me as if I wasn't there but I was. I slowly and quietly ate at my pizza as the pair of brothers chatted and laughed, even a few things got me to chuckle. The two men had finished and retreated back to the computer room as I continued sitting at the dining room eating up my pizza as I looked down seeing Matt's dog was sitting beside begging for food as I smirked as I leant down gently petting the dog before I continued eating. As I finished my food, I picked up the dog and played with him not really wanting to return to the computer room since I would just be left out yet again. "What are you doing?" Jeff asked as I jumped a little bit from being startled.
"Um…playing with Matt's dog…" I said blushing slightly.
"Well, we need your opinion on the video." Jeff said as I nodded and gently put Matt's dog down onto the ground. The dog walked happily beside our feet as we walked into the other room where I slid into the empty seat that was mine before we had ate pizza where Matt pushed play on the edited video that I missed out on watching myself on the screen. I was nothing but blushing the whole time as I was on the screen that they were watching it and how horrible I was but I couldn't be embarrassed because this is something they do too.
"What do you think?" Matt asked as he turned in his seat as I bit at my bottom lip trying to replay it in my mind.
"It looked good…I don't know what to be looking for but to me it looked good." I said shrugging as they both nodded back at me.
"Well I will spend my day tomorrow burning these onto DVD for you." Matt said.
"Thanks so much Matt." I said smiling.
"No problem, you need to start out somewhere and paying debts and such and start from the bottom…welcome to the industry." Matt said with a wink as I sighed as I looked to Jeff unsure about this.
"Come on, it's been a long day." Jeff said as I stood up following him out of Matt's house back to Jeff's place where I retreated to my room for the night since I was exhausted. As I fall face first onto the queen sized bed not caring that I just did a belly flop onto the bed I heard a soft knock come from the opened door. I let out a soft groan as I rolled over some to look at Jeff who was leaning against the door frame. "But I talked to Matt…you are going to be an extra set of hands at our show next weekend…and if I am not mistaken we may have a girl call off on us so you may have your first match if that is the case." Jeff said as I nodded, "That sound appealing any?" Jeff asked.
"More than appealing, I am just so beyond tired right now…" I stated as Jeff nodded.
"Well good night." Jeff said as I nodded.
"Night." I said as I had rolled back over not even wanting to move to a regular laying stance as I just fell asleep face down.
