Dean's POV

Ah, WWE Academy. The place I didn't miss when I was away on summer break. Sure, I missed the people in it, but I didn't miss the school itself.

I had new goals this year, and one of them was to not get suspended.

"Dean! Oh my god! I missed you so much this summer!" Nikki shrieked and came over and wrapped me in a hug.

"You're lucky I like you, because I hate hugs," I smirked.

"Don't tell Bayley that," Sasha said with a smile behind me.

I stuck my tongue out at her, before her tongue was down Roman's throat.

Some things never change.

I walked into the school, all the old feelings returning. Renee, Nikki, and John were all alongside me. However, our first day back was short lived when we heard an annoying voice.

"Welcome to the school that AJ Styles built! I'm the phenomenal one, and you all know it!" He graced as he put his hands up in the air, doing his signature llama pose.

"Styles, nobody cares! I'm The Face of America! People will part hallways for me!" Kevin yelled.

AJ rolled his eyes. "Kevin, that's cute. You think that I actually care about what you think, news flash; not everyone cares about you!"

I laughed at that one. AJ and I weren't always friends, but we developed a friendship last year.

"What are they trying to prove?" Nikki asked me before we were told to go to the auditorium.

Shane stepped out on the stage, accompanied by Daniel Bryan and Kurt Angle.

"The Wicked Witch of everything still isn't back," Roman whispered from beside me, and I had to cover my mouth to keep myself from laughing.

They did the normal welcome back to school lectures and all that junk. Shane said we could go to the office to find out our new dorm partners. I was not looking forward to that part.

"And we are setting down some new ground rules," Daniel started. "Starting with dating."

"You can only hold hands with your significant other, nothing more. If a staff member sees anything more than that, then you will be written up."

I rolled my eyes. They tried to make this a rule last year, and it didn't work out too well, I don't know what made them think it would work this year. 

"Also, as for matches, no more coming to us, you must talk it over with your gym teacher," Kurt explained.

We all nodded and then Shane stepped forward.

"Guys, this is it. This is your senior year. So, with that being said, I'm sure you know what happens after this, you start your WWE career. However, we do pick you based on test scores, and you will take a test at the end of the year to prove it."

We groaned. I mean, come on, who likes to take test to determine their future? No one, that's for sure.

We were then dismissed back to class, and I had English first, just like last year. Mr. Young was back, which was good. Towards the end of last year, we had Goldust, but he wasn't the best.

"I hate him, I hate him, I hate him," I sighed shaking my head.

"Dean, don't you hate everyone?" John smirked.

"Well, yeah, but I really hate Seth. I forgave him last year, but let's forget that even happened. Think sophomore year, that's about where Seth and I stand."

John shrugged and this is when Samoa piped up. "Can I put him out of action again?"

I snapped my attention towards him. "I mean, I don't hate him that much, but, I wouldn't complain if you did."

He smiled and I knew that wasn't a good thing.

"Alright, students, welcome back from your summer break. I hope you all had fun, but be prepared to learn!" Darren walked in and stated.

"Where's Rollins?" Kevin asked looking around the room.

"Probably making out with the British Tramp," Charlotte started. "Which is fine by me, I hope he gets his ass suspended, then I won't have to see that greasy hair, two toned prick every day."

"Moonsault, calm down, it was just a question, not a freaking threat."

Darren threw his hands up and we were silenced.

After school, I walked to my new dorm. I didn't want to leave Roman, because even though he irritated me, he was still my best friend at the end of the day.

"Hey, man!" I heard an obnoxious voice yell.

"What do you want, Jericho?" I asked as I opened the door to my new dorm.

"You're the roommate of Jericho, let's share the room man!"

I rolled my eyes and picked my side of the room. Chris left without seconds, I was guessing for band practice or something.

Suddenly, Nikki appeared in my room.

"Hey, just so you're aware of our plans for homecoming, we're not taking dates this year."

I furrowed my brows. "And who told you I was going to the dance?"

"No one, but don't ask Renee. We don't want Charlotte to feel left out, especially since it's her senior year."

I stared at the Bella who had recently become one of my best friends. "Alright, I won't ask, but why do you care about Charlotte so much?"

"I just feel bad. She really loved Seth, and then he threw the relationship down the drain."

I nodded my head in agreement, and then she left. I wasn't planning on going to Homecoming, but it seems as now I have plans.

This may be a long year.

TJ's POV

The minute I stepped through the doors of the Academy, I knew it was a place that I hadn't missed. Not only was Brian my roommate again, but I still had Neville as my teacher, which was never fun.

"Ah, TJ Perkins, I didn't miss you," Brian smirked as he approached me.

"Didn't you hear? He goes by TJP now?" Rich laughed as he closed his locker from beside me.

I rolled my eyes at both of them. "I didn't miss either of you."

"Of course you did, we're your best friends," Brian told me and gave me a pat on the shoulder.

We all laughed and then met the other Cruiserweights in the basement, where our classroom was.

"Come on baby, Alicia, we can work this out!" Noam yelled after her.

"No, we cannot. I am done with you!" She screamed and then went up the stairs.

Cedric appeared from behind Noam. "See I told you, she gives zero fox about you."

I started laughing and then Noam gave me a glance. I put my hands up as a signal of defense, but I still kept laughing anyway.

"Hey, where's Akira?" Brian asked as soon as we got to the classroom.

All of us shook our heads, until Jack spoke up. "I heard we're getting two new Cruiserweights."

"Oh great, more people Neville will boss around and make them 'bow down' to him," Austin Aries entered with a banana.

We all snapped our attention to him, and he just told us that he's be helping with our class again this year.

"Filthy Cruiserweight, I heard you're helping me again?" Neville came in the door.

"Sadly."

Neville rolled his eyes and then took a seat at his desk, while propping his feet up.

"Asshole! It's our senior year! Are you going to miss me?" Brian smirked.

"Absolutely not."

"Ah!" Akira yelled as he came running into the room with his books in his hands.

"Hey look, I found Akira!" Tony yelled and we rolled our eyes.

"We have two new filthy Cruiserweights coming today," Neville sighed.

"What? You aren't happy about that?" Austin asked sarcastically.

"No, because now I have to learn more names and grade more work."

Austin rolled his eyes and threw his banana peel in the trash can. "Its two more, Neville. Two more."

"Okay, still more work, Filthy Cruiserweight."

"Are you ever going to call me Austin Aries again?"

"Probably not."

There was a knock at the door and then Neville sighed again. "Oh my God, filthy Cruiserweight, get the damn door!"

"Mr. Neville, there's no cussing in this class," Brian mimicked him from the beginning of last year.

Austin opened the door to reveal Mustafa Ali and Ariya Daivari. I knew Jack didn't like Ariya, but I'm pretty sure Mustafa will be alright with us.

"These are the new kids, you may have a seat wherever you like," Neville announced them.

Mustafa sat next to Rich, and then Ariya sat in the back next to Noam.

"The beautiful Ariya Daivari," Noam commented, dragging out his last name.

"Noam, I know you and Alicia broke up, but, you can't just go around calling people what you used to call her," I told him.

"You're right," he paused. "It worlds much better with your name; the beautiful TJP."

I rolled my eyes as Rich and Brian started laughing. Neville quieted us down and then went up to the board.

After school was finished, we returned to the dorms. We had been upgraded from last year, as we were kicked to the basement, but this year we were on the first floor, because there were now more of us.

"Thank you, Akira for getting us moved up a floor," Brian stated as he clapped.

Akira looked confused and so were the rest of us, but we usually were when it came to Brian.

"Come on, Rich Swaaaaaan," Noam yelled after his new roommate.

"Oh, I feel so bad for him," Cedric commented and we all nodded.

Cedric got stuck with Akira, Jack and Ariya were together, and of course Brian and I were roommates again. Mustafa and Tony were dorming together.

"Okay, peasants, I will be in charge of watching over your dorms," Neville demanded as he stormed through the hallway.

"Damnit, I can't get away from Asshole."

Neville looked at him, but he put his hands up. "You said no cussing in your classroom, but this the hallway, and it's not yours. So, therefor, I can do what I want."

Neville just rolled his eyes and then we all just closed our doors for the night.

This was going to be the longest year yet.
