| FRIDAY MORNING, |

Sami was walking along with Finn but couldn't take the sentence he read on the board away from his head.

"...So that's how I convinced my driver to let me walk with you," Finn told him as he finished his story. "Another thing, it's so weird that I prepared cupcake with chocolate chips this morning without reason...."

Finn stopped once he noticed Sami was quiet and not energetic like what he used to be.

"You alright, Sam?" The Irish friend concernedly asked him.

Sami was taken back when Finn poked him.

"Y-yeah." Sami blurted out as he smiled and the scene suddenly flashed on his mind.

< FLASHBACK >

♪♫ Now playing: Angel - Shaggy ♫♪

"I missed you, Sami 'my guardian angel' Zayn by Kevin..." Sami said in shock as he read the message on the board.

Kevin slowly approached Sami from the back while Elias still singing their theme song.

Finn started to pour the confetti on the two former best friends as the other students yelled, "KAMI! KAMI!"

Chris glared at Sami as he covered his ears while sitting on the corner by himself. Sami turned around and saw Kevin.

"I'm sorry for everything, Sami. You're the best thing that happened in my life." Kevin emotionally said as he read the sentences on his palm. "Please come back to me."

Sami smiled genuinely as his dream and prayers came true. He hugged his long time best friend and shrieked, "YES! I will!"

< END OF FLASHBACK >

"Finn! Sami!" A voice boomed from Sami and Finn's back. The two turned around as they heard Becky and saw Bayley.

"Good morning!" Sami cheerfully greeted them as they waited for the girls to came up to them.

Finn smiled sweetly at Bayley, "What's that?" He asked and pointed out the mini bag she was holding as he noticed it.

"This?..." Bayley looked at her mini and bring out something, "This cupcake with chocolate chips is....for you!" She proudly told Finn.

"Really?! Thank you!" Finn exclaimed in disbelief as he took the cupcake, "So that's why I suddenly prepared a cupcake with chocolate chips this morning too! It's for you!" Finn shrieked out as he handed Bayley the cupcake.

"Aww, that's so sweet!" Sami smiled at them.

Becky started to rummage on her bag and showed Finn something.

"I have one for you too!" Becky exclaimed.

"Wow! A chocolate cupcake with sprinkles! Thank you, Becky!" Finn happily said as they began to walk.

"You're welcome." Becky smiled at Finn.

Sami saw them and he started to felt sad but immediately changed his mood.

"But why? Why did you give me a cupcake?" Finn suddenly asked her.

Becky started to panic and didn't know what to say.

"'C-cause you're.......'cause you're my f-friend!" Becky stammered.

"Too sweet!" Finn exclaimed as they started to walk.

"Becky, where's mine?" Sami asked as he frowned.

"Oh! Don't worry, Sami. You have one too." Becky said as she brings out another cupcake but this time, it doesn't have sprinkles.

Sami still smiled after he noticed the difference between the cupcake Becky gave him compared to Finn, as they continued walking.

| AT THE HALLWAY, |

"OMG! Have you heard the news?!" Carmella asked Alexa excitedly as they walked in the hallway.

"What news?" Alexa raised her eyebrows as she keeps texting on her phone.

"As I read School's forum yesterday, two exchanged students will be added on the Section Backlash!" Carmella exclaimed.

"FINALLY!" Alexa blurted out in a sudden that made Carmella looked at her.

"Great news, right?!" She grinned.

"U-uh...yeah..." Alexa answered as she scratched her neck. "Anyway, I need to meet him somewhere so byeeeee!"

"Who's him?" Carmella asked but Alexa already left her and walked away.

As Carmella turned around, her books dropped on the floor when someone unintentionally bumped into her.

"UGH! WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Carmella yelled while staring at her books scattered on the floor.

"I beg your pardon." The guy immediately apologized as he knelt down to picked up her things.

Carmella slowly looked up to him and stared at his ID.

"Here." He said as he handed Carmella her books.

The guy walked away once he noticed Carmella was spaced out and didn't say any single word.

Carmella was back to herself and placed her sight on the guy while walking away.

A smile grew on her face, "I think I got love at first sight to you, Aleister." Carmella blurted out.

Paige saw Carmella as she reached the hallway. As she continued walking, she decided to bring out a phone and start it.

Just in a moment, a woman passed by and saw Paige.

"That's...." The girl stopped right next to Paige while pointing the phone, "Oh my gosh, miss! You found my missing phone!"

"Where did you found this?" She asked as she immediately grabbed it away from Paige's hand.

"I u-uh found it on the sink...on the ladies' room," Paige told her.

"I knew it! That was the last place I went before my phone gone." She exclaimed. Paige nodded and resumed walking away.

Carmella spotted her classmate and went to her.

"Hey, ice cream vendor classmate!" Carmella teased as she stepped away.

The girl just exhaled and immediately used her phone.

Meanwhile Roman and Dean arrived at their classroom. Dean lay down on the teacher's table like he used to do every morning. Roman was busy reading the letter that he saw in front of the house earlier ago.

"♪..Turning my cheek for the sake of this show, Now that you know, this is my life...♪" Bayley sings as she played a song with speakers.

Her voice made Finn stop scrolling on his phone. Finn turned to her with his brows furrowed.

"What's the title of the song?" He curiously asked Bayley.

"Catch my Breath." The Hugger answered. "It's my favorite song!"

"Catch my breath? You meant my theme song?"

Bayley chuckled and they started to laugh. Finn looked back at his phone and immediately changed his ring tone to Catch my Breath.

"♪...No one can hold me back, I ain't got time for that...♪" Bayley resumed from singing.

"Hey Bayley, shut your mouth up! I'm going to play our theme song!" Mike yelled as he connected his phone to the blue tooth of the speaker.

♪♫ Now playing: How deep is your Love ♫♪

"♪I know your eyes in the morning sun..." Mike started singing while looking at Maryse.

"♪...I feel you touch me in the pouring rain...♪" Maryse added.

Mandy arrived and glamorously sits on her chair as she looked at her seatmate who keeps mumbling something since the morning.

"Ewww what's with that look?" Mandy says disgustedly as she elbowed him.

Dolph rolled his eyes on her and pouted his lips on Mike and Maryse on the other side.

"They got back together."

"Another lonely day for Spaghetti." Mandy teased as she chuckled evilly.

Dolph glared at her, "You know what, just go away! You're ruining my day even more!"

Mandy laughed as she literally moved her seat and placed it on the aisle.

Someone threw a piece of crumpled paper at Seth who as usual reading a book. Seth picked up the paper as he got distracted. He opened the paper as he found it different.

good morning!

-Paige

Seth turned his head on the back after he read the message. Paige smiled at him but Seth went back on his business. Chris saw them as he raised his eyebrow.

Another paper hit Seth right on his head. He picked it up again to read the message.

Stupid idiot!!!-Chris Handsome Jericho

"Guys guys!" Roman called his classmates as he went in front while holding the letter.

"You have a speech, Big dog? That's new!" Chris laughed at him as he elbowed Kevin as a sign to join with him but Owens didn't reply.

"I had no idea why my neighbor left this letter in front of my house." Roman started. "But according to this sticky note attached on the envelope, it says I should tell this to all of you at our first period hour."

"And why do we need to listen?" AJ asked as he raised his eyebrows while combing his hair.

"Continue, Roman." John professional stated as he listens carefully.

Roman opened the envelope and rolled down the letter and cleared his throat.

"Good morning! I already grouped you into three and you can't do anything about that." Roman furrowed his brows on what he was reading.

Roman was about to continue when Charlotte raised her hand.

"Who's my group mates anyway?" The Queen asked. "I hope my members aren't stupid."

"Ambrose, Zayn, Cena, Balor, Lynch, Bevis, and Flair are the first group."

Sami and Becky smiled after he heard the names of his group mates. John's reaction was neutral. Dean doesn't care and keeps munching tacos.

"I'm good with it since Becks is with me," Charlotte stated.

"Group 2 consists of Rollins, Ziggler, Bellas, Ouellet, Styles, and myself," Roman said.

"Great! Just great." Dolph groaned, crossing his arms as he heard Maryse's name on his group.

"What the hell?!" AJ reacted as he looked at Seth disgustedly. "That nerd is my groupmate?"

"Who are you calling nerd?" Dean went to AJ and glared at him.

AJ chuckled. "Just your nerdy self proclaimed 'brother'." AJ stood up from his seat as faced Dean.

"Ambrose! Vice! No fighting, please." John immediately separated the two.

"Mizanin. Jericho, Owens, Bayley, Strowman, and Rose are the last group." Roman announced.

"Who cares about that announcement anyway?" Mike rolled his eyes.

"The winning group will get a perfect score," Roman added as he read the next paragraph of the letter.

Mike and John's face enlightened as they heard the perfect score.

"So what are we going to do?" Dolph asked Roman.

Suddenly, someone opened the door and ejected,

"I'm the ROCK, your substitute teacher and you're going make--------"
