Brianna stared at herself in the mirror as she tried to figure out how to style her hair. It was cropped short for the summer and she had recently dyed it from her natural dark brown color to a lighter brown just because she was bored with her hair. Sighing she ran her brush through it quickly before putting a headband in it.
“Brianna!” Her cousin screamed up the stairs as he came running up the stairs and into her room. “Guess what? Guess what?”
“You got a life?” She asked sarcastically.
“No,” He said shaking his head. “No, I got three tickets to Ohio Valley Wrestling!”
“And this is supposed to excite me?” Brianna laughed looking back in the mirror as she started to apply her make up.
“Stop playing the prissy girl Bri,” He said rolling his eyes sitting down at the end of her bed. “You’ve been a wrestling fan for years.”
“And no one is supposed to know that!” She frowned at her cousin through the mirror as she put on her green eye shadow.
“Why don’t you want your friends to know?” He said seriously “It’s not like they’ll care, its summer break, and you’re going to college out of state here in Massachusetts, when everyone else is going to the local college where you live, why would they care if they finally know you like wrestling?”
“Craig it’s not that simple,” She sighed turning around leaning on her dresser. “I dunno.”
“Are you still coming?” He asked pushing himself off the bed.
“Maybe,” Brianna sighed folding her arms across her chest shrugging.
“Well, its tomorrow night,” Craig said placing her ticket on her dresser next to her hair brush. “If you decide to come, I’ll be outside of your house at six.”
Craig walked out of the room and shut the door behind him. Brianna pushed herself off of the dresser as she picked up the ticket and lay down on her bed. She knew WWE was in town and that her cousin was trying to get tickets to the RAW showing, but got OVW instead. She wasn’t disappointed but she was starting to like Christian Cage and hoped that she would’ve seen him in person. Turning over she placed the ticket on her nightstand before rolling off
the bed.
Grabbing her purse she quickly grabbed her keys before she ran out of the room. For the time being she was staying at her aunts house before housing for her school started in a week, the room she was staying in was the guest room, but with all of her boxes laying around it looked more like a storage room. Telling her Aunt she would be back she ran out of the house, she was late for meeting her new room mate for lunch.
“You’re last show huh?” Randy asked laughing at John as he pulled on his shorts and shoes.
“Yours too,” John said sighing. “Scared?”
“Completely,” Randy said slowly. “I just hope after we make out debuts that we won’t be doing dark matches the rest of our lives.”
“Fates on our side my friend,” John said clapping Randy on the shoulder smiling brightly.
“I really hope your right,” Randy said taking a deep breath.
“Have I ever been wrong?” John grinned brightly.
“You want the real answer to that?”
“Funny,” John rolled his eyes “What time is the show?”
“Seven, I think,” He said looking at his watch “I haven’t even looked on the call sheet yet,
I have no clue who I’m wrestling.”
“Me either,” John smiled brightly “But this is out last night in the minors my friend, next week we’ll be part of the big leagues, with everyone we looked up to our entire time here!”
“You’re scaring me,” Randy said moving away from John quickly.
“I scare myself too,” John said winking at Randy pulling on his hat. “I feel kinda funny.”
“Must’ve been the four burritos you ate at dinner,” Randy said over his shoulder grabbing his wrestling trunks from his bag.
“Na, it’s not that,” John frowned rubbing the back of his neck “Sorda like tonight is going to change my life.”
“No shit Sherlock,” Randy said laughing, “We’re going to Smackdown now!”
“Yeah that’s probably it,” John said shrugging “I’m going to go find out who we wrestle tonight.”
“Brianna come on!” Craig groaned up the stairs waiting for his cousin to get ready to go to the OVW show. “It’s a wrestling show; you don’t need to change your outfit twenty million
times.”
“Shut up Craig,” Brianna said throwing a sneaker at him from her room.
“That almost hit me!” He said throwing it back up the stairs.
“I wanted it to,” She said brightly picking it up off the floor and throwing it back into the room before shutting the door. “Ready.”
“Finally,” He said rolling his eyes looking up at his cousin. “I gave you a day notice about this show you couldn’t pick out an outfit then?”
“I just like to annoy you,” She smirked patting him on the head stepping over his legs as she walked into the living room to get her purse.
“We’re going to be late because of you,” Craig said quickly getting off the stairs holding the front door open for her.
“What you mad that you’re not going to have time to make out with your girlfriend before the show?” Brianna mocked as he playfully kicked at her as she walked past him.
“You’re just jealous that I’m dating someone,” Craig said sticking his tongue out at his younger cousin.
“Mature, very mature,” She said opening the car door and getting in the passenger seat.
“You’ll meet someone I’m sure,” He said smirking at her, starting the car “You’re young.”
“Oh shut up, I’m not looking for someone to settle down with right now, I’ve got college okay!” Brianna said rolling her eyes looking out the window.
“I know, I just want you to be happy cuz,” Craig said seriously.
“I will be, eventually,” She sighed shrugging. “I just haven’t found the right guy yet. I’ve had my heart torn out to many times in high school.”
“But you’re in college now!” He said smiling brightly “College guys are more mature.”
“Craig,” Brianna said looking at him seriously.
“Okay, a little bit more mature,” He said shrugging.
“Uh huh,” She said frowning. “Like I said I’m young, I don’t have to meet the love of my life right now.”
“You never know Mr. Right could show up at the wrong time,” Craig said nodding lightly.
