"What we miss?" whispered Seth, noticing the tension thick between the Bella sisters. Brie thew death glares in Nikki's direction every opportunity afforded to her, whereas Nikki seemed more than happy to ignore her twin. A comment or two escaped her about her hand being numb and tingly. Aleister once again chuckled, as what happened flooded back. Even the rumors Brie had attempted to start had tickled him, as he was sure Echo would find them just as funny. Dean too soon joined in with light-hearted chuckles, more to see Renee respond to the bitchy cheerleader, in defense of her friends. Summer had casually walked passed with a sly comment while ignoring what happened for the most part. Although she'd been all too happy to give Daniel another detention for his choice of words towards several in the courtyard. Adding to the one he'd already received from Booker earlier in the day.

"Brie tried spreading the rumor Aleister and Echo were dating" started Nikki, not being surprised when Echo began to laugh, probably from Brie's obliviousness, especially when she and Aleister often referred to each other as siblings. Aleister called her, his sister from another mister. Whereas Echo greeted Aleister as, a brother from another mother. The two hadn't been shy about it, nor were they when it come to teasing each other. "Cross shut it down. Ney Ney gave Brie a piece of her mind before tying her bag strap to one of the concrete benches. While I sorta coursed the hand print on goat face cheek and accidentally kneed him in the groin" explained the older Bella twin. Recalling Renee had tied Brie's bag strap tight enough, the other cheerleads had to rip or cut the strap to free her and the bag. "Our dear student leader in Summer saw the whole thing and congratulated Renee and me. Gave Daniel detention for his language and walked off as nothing happened" laughed the teen nicknamed Fearless, even more so when she remembered how sassy Summer had been, as she walked off with Emma. Emma doing her normal dance while Justin Gabriel blowing bubbles around the girls. Fandango popped them when they invaded his area, always with a grin.

"We still staying over at Echo's tonight?" asked Miz, recalling when the arrangement had been made. Just as he recalled how most of them had been surprised she'd offered. Carmella mentioning only Nikki, AJ, Finn and Aleister had been there before. The Dutch teen practically lived with the family, even having his own room there.

"Be after the committee's over. Nikki, JJ's welcome to join as well" stated Echo in response, her soft smile unmoved as she composed herself the best she could from the laughter. The group soon took notice when Booker began to explain what was happening. The next hour and a half would be an assessment period and would go towards deciding who would be on the Wrestling team that year. They could choose their own groups but had to practice their chosen move set and work on their in-ring characters. The moment Booker finished his explanation, the jocks and cheerleaders wasted little time in merging as a group, Lita joining them in order to give Serenity the extra help she'd be in need of, and to gauge how much she had learned from her previous school if she had learned anything.

The mix-and-matched group also stayed together. Each quickly finding themselves in a discussion about their in-ring characters. Both AJ and Cross mentioned they planned to incorporate their crazy ways into it, with Miz and Maryse admitting they were going to do a joint act, Hollywood A-Listers. Dean, Seth, and Roman all revealed their little plan to be a destructive stable, working together as a team, although they had no official name yet. Aleister soon turned his attention to Echo, curious if she'd voice her secret to those in the dark. Or if she would wait until the gathering that night where it would be revealed in a more subtle way. Echo soon noticed his attention, and gently shook her head, instead finding comfort in being able to hide her secret just a little longer.

"Alright Demon. I want to be on the receiving end of your finisher" announced Finn, a bright cheery grin painted upon his lips as he all but carefully pulled Echo down the bleachers towards the ring. "You've been practicing it all summer. Time to show those watching what you can do" chuckled the Irish teen, recalling when Aleister had volunteered to be on the receiving end, he'd joked about it after, despite it being classed as a risky maneuver.

"I swear you're doing this on purpose" commented Echo, as the pair got into the wrestling ring. Thick crash mats had been laid out making it plush and difficult to balance on. A similar thing had been done on the outside of the ring, ensuring those attempting maneuvers from the top rope had a cushioned landing. The same for those who tried high-flying moves. Finn didn't deny her accusation, only offering the bright friendly smile he'd become known for. Both ignored the attention they got from entering the ring, instead, Finn nodded to Echo's silent question before both got into position. Upon doing so Echo gently tapped Finn's shoulder as if to confirm he wanted to do this. Upon receiving his response, the pair worked together to perform the flip piledriver.

"Holy shit. The Canadian Destroyer" muttered Seth, his dark eyes glued to the ring, as the conversation he'd been immersed in with Dean and Roman, had seemingly been forgotten. Dean's jaw was pretty much on the floor, as were most others. Roman appearing to be stunned into silence. Although both found it within themselves to offer applause with the others who had bared witness to the move.

"I better think of a new finisher" joked Drew from his spot behind the three teenagers. His Scottish accent was thick, as she chuckled at his own joke. Aleister was close by with a proud brotherly smile. "Think that would get the jocks to shut it for a while?" asked the taller teen, figuring Brie and her girls would have something to say about the use of the flip piledriver, just as the jocks would no doubt have a problem with it.

"Remind me not to piss off your girlfriend" muttered Dean, his words directed towards Seth, who only responded with a deadpan glare. "Correction, remind me not to piss off your future girlfriend" chuckled the shaggy-haired teenager, holding up his hands as if to surrender. Roman to his side sniggering at the comment, much like a few others did, including Punk. It wasn't long before Serenity headed in their direction, the brunette confident as she walked up the bleachers, her hips swaying as if she was attempting to gain the attention of a specific person. Her hazel eyes locked on to Roman, as what she classed as a flirtatious smile appeared on her perfectly painted lips.

The group of miss-matched teens soon fell into silence, their conversations stopping as if someone had muted them. Nothing changed when Echo and Finn rejoined them, instead an awkward silence fell over the group. As if all of them were unsure how to act around the ditzy teen. Roman in particular felt uncomfortable, Serenity had made her intentions clear via social media. She followed him on Twitter and Instagram and even sent him a request on Snapchat. She'd gone through and liked his photos on Instagram, leaving comments on a few as if she was his personal stalker. He'd admit he found it creepy, but hadn't done anything about it, instead ignored all messages the ditzy cheerleader sent and rejected her requests on other social media platforms.

"Roman, want to hang out after school today" spoke Serenity, batting her eyelashes at the Samoan, while ignoring all the others there. Especially the couples, her jealousy bubbled up to see them happy, when her own attempts at gaining Roman's attention seemed to fall flat so quickly. Although she took his slow responses, as him playing hard to get. "Will have to be after Homecoming Committee, perhaps you could help me with my wrestling skills" commented the brunette, a flirtatious tone to her voice. Seth and Dean either side of Roman looking between the two teenagers, Drew behind trying his hardest to hold back the laughter that would break the awkwardness to fall over the group and Serenity.

"I've got plans. Maybe next time Serenity" politely responded Roman, at least trying to let her down gently, even when he suspected she wouldn't get the hint. The brunette teen soon spun on her heels, stomping away with a huff, she hated being rejected, especially when she thought she was irresistible. The moment Serenity rejoined her group of friends, whispers started up with them. Punk released the breath he didn't realize he was holding, as the conversation returned to the wrestling tournament, as each tried to forget the awkward encounter and Roman tried to erase the uneasy feeling to have washed over him.

"Apparently Nattie is saying Echo and Serenity are cousins" commented Maryse upon rejoining the miss-matched group of teenagers, a warm smile upon her lips. She could see the horror appear in Echo's icy eyes upon hearing her words, much like Aleister just rolled his eyes. Some of the others didn't react to the new piece of information, whereas others waited for Echo to either deny or confirm the accusation set out against her by Nattie.

"Sadly" commented Echo, showing there was no love loss between her and Serenity. The two hadn't seen each other in years, the last time they had, was at her uncle Andy's funeral. Even then Serenity hadn't shown a slight bit of emotion over her father's passing, instead, she appeared angry, as if she'd been denied something she'd rudely demanded just hours beforehand. After that Serenity had moved away with her mother, growing into the entitled teenager she was now. "It's been years since we last saw each other. She was a spoilt princess back then, guessing it's gonna be even worse now. Dad refuses to even let her or Aunt Sienna come over, he's still pretty mad about how things went the last time" admitted Echo, not bothering to hide the truth from those around her. It had been years since she'd last seen Serenity or her aunt Sienna, just as she doubted whether she and Serenity would get on this time.

"The devil's mistress type" commented Corey, laughing when Aleister all but spat the water he'd been drinking out. The act alone gained the attention of the cheerleaders at the bottom of the bleachers. Serenity seemed to smile a little more, no doubt thinking she'd been the topic of conversation, or at least a source of teasing for Roman. The Samoan chuckled a little louder upon concluding what had sparked Aleister's reaction, something Becky likely had also come to if her wicked smirk was anything to go by.

"This devil only has eyes for the Twisted Sister over there" retorted the Dutch teen upon regaining his composure, listening to Cross's wild laughter as she bounced on the spot again, her attention on the group of jocks with the cheerleaders, as if she was intending to creep them out, in a similar way to how Serenity had sent a shiver down Roman's spine earlier. "Do they still want to play Echo's favorite game?" quizzed the teen often referred to as the Devil. His comment only serving to confuse those there, including the midnight-haired teen named. Although it become clear Finn and Nikki had caught on to the meaning behind his words eventually.

"Do the oh-so-powerful jocks and cheerleaders still want a war?" translated Nikki, upon following Cross's line of sight. Knowing there was an inside joke regarding Echo's favorite game being war, something that had been started the previous year, after her slow but creative revenge against those who had hurt her as part of their fun and games. Renee soon laughed softly, as she caught on to the inside joke, whispering to Dean soon after, realization washing over his features as she clued him in. Even now Dean could recall how Echo had got her revenge, even how Drew had helped her at times. As if he was proving to her not all of those classed as popular was a part of the cruelty. Others such as Dean himself, Roman, and Seth had kept out of her path, although Dean had admired how she managed to get her revenge without breaking any of the school rules, and doing it in a way neither the jocks nor cheerleaders could say anything without implicating themselves in what caused such backlash.

"Remind me not to get on your bad side" commented Punk from his spot next to AJ. Recalling how Echo had also helped AJ get revenge and Nikki get some sort of payback on her former friends and sister. Finn and Aleister had helped too, but more as protectors. "Between your patient tactics and wicked finisher in the ring" added Punk, noticing some nodding along with him, particularly those who were once a part of the jocks or within the cheerleader ranks under Brie's control.

"And that's why we call her Demon now" announced AJ, with a sweet smile, knowing although Echo's original name Princess of the Empire, suited her, especially among those who knew her secret. The demon name was far more fitting, especially after her displays of calm revenge. AJ only grinned a little more upon hearing Seth's whispered words from in front of her. How he referred to Echo as his demon. Although he'd not spoken loud enough outside herself, Roman, Dean, Punk, and Renee to hear his quiet words.
