CHAPTER 5

It was about 11:00pm when I finally got home and crashed out on my bed.

Jimmy certainly wasn't kidding about the hard work involved! After my in-ring stunt with Summer Rae, Jimmy had taught us all the wrestling basics: attack, block, foot work, defense.....We had all learnt a whole bunch of wrestling techniques and tricks to use in and around the ring, and by the time class was over, I was feeling pain in muscles I never even knew I had. I knew I wouldn't be able to juggle the two, both physically and financially, so I made myself a commitment to one and quit the gym the following day.

Man if make it back there tomorrow though, it will be an absolute miracle!

Even though I was still sore, I woke up the next day feeling very excited and rearing to go! So after soothing my muscles in a nice hot bath of eucalyptus oils, I grabbed my gym back and headed on down to the Ohio Valley Wrestling studios.

''Yesterday was just the warm up kids'' Jimmy was saying after everyone arrived ''the real work starts today.''

A few groans could be heard around the room, but were quickly silenced by one look from Jimmy.

I was actually warming to him now, sure he was a little grumpy at times, but boy did he know how to put the fear in you to get the job done!

We were once again placed into pairs, where we had to try and put all of the moves we'd learnt so far on our opponent, and keep it going for at least 10 minutes per pair inside the ring...goodness! How do the professionals do it, AND still manage to still look good?! I thought with a new found appreciation for the sport, as I myself was feeling exhausted within just 5 minutes.

After working up a massive sweat, I used the half hour break we had to quickly pop to the girl's locker room and splash some water on my face, before going out back and having a ciggie. I was just wiping my face with a paper towel, when Summer Rae walked in.

''Hey'' I said politely to her.

''Don't act like were friends Faith, I still haven't forgiven you for attacking me like that yesterday'' she snapped, looking at me rudely through the mirror, before flipping her long blonde hair over her shoulder, and going into one of the stalls.

''Whatever'' I mumbled, chucking the paper towel in the trash before walking out.

''OK, in pairs again everyone'' Jimmy said when we'd all re-grouped.

I looked round the room, and could see everyone had paired up pretty quickly.

Great. There's no one left to share with now except Barbie...I thought, watching as Summer Rae quickly came from the bathroom with afresh layer of make-up on.

''Your late!'' Jimmy barked at her ''one more time blondie and you're out!'' he huffed, before turning his attention back to the group ''Okay folks, today we're gonna do what's called Running The Ropes'' Jimmy said ''Show of hands who already knows what that is?'' he said, scanning his eyes round the group ''Good! Well for those of you who have that dumb look on ya faces, I'm gonna show you exactly what is'' Jimmy said, and quickly jumped inside the ring giving us about 7-8 rope runs each side, then made us do our own in the ring along with our pairs.

Summer and I were up next.

''You better not get in my way sweetie'' summer said coldly, with her head held her head high.

''I'll give you two reasons why that will never happen'' I retorted sarcastically, while looking down at her inflatable chest. She scowled and tutted at me, before flipping her long hair in my face and making her way into the ring. I followed her in, and we began cross running past each other between the ropes.

''Bitch!'' Summer hissed as soon as we changed directions and her back was away from Jimmy....excuse me? Not today Summer. NOT EVER....I thought, feeling my anger quickly rise like Fahrenheit in a heat wave!

The next time I ran past her, I slammed my entire body weight into hers like a freakin' freight train, sending Summer instantly flying across the ring and landing flat on her back ''How bout' now?!'' I snapped, looking down at her venomously.

''HEY! HEY! HEY! LADIES! THAT'S NOT HOW WE RUN THE ROPES!'' Jimmy barked ''but it seems like you two are in a hurry to get to the next level of this class, so ok...-BOTH OF YOU, CUT A PROMO FOR ME RIGHT NOW! STARTING WITH YOU SUMMER, OR YOUR BOTH OUT!!'' Jimmy barked at us again.

''Uh... Uh...'' Summer stammered, looking around absolutely mortified!

''I'll start'' I said, still looking down at summer with rage in my eyes ''You picked a good day to get on my bad side, 'cause I will knock down anyone who stands in my way. I'm coming from a place that nightmares are made of, and I'm about to be yours. The line starts with me sweetie, so I suggest you get on your knees, and have a little Faith!''

The studio erupted in a round of applause, woops and whistles. I guess to them it was a just shoot promo, but to me I was speaking from the heart.

''Nice Faith, real nice'' Jimmy nodded approvingly. Summer however just stood up and glared at me like I was the devil.

''You got nothin' to say to that Summer?'' Jimmy asked, half expecting her to get right into it and hit me back with a promo of her own, but instead...

''URGH'!'' Summer grunted, stamping her foot in anger, then storming past me out the ring towards the girls locker room...I guess not.

''Yeah, make sure you take all your belongings sweetheart'' Jimmy called after her.

We never saw Summer at training again after that.
