bgklmangler: Tommy vs Steve: The Next Week

After the Tommy-Steve match

At school on Monday, Kevin was waiting near the entrance when Steve pulled up in the parking lot and parked. Getting out of the car, Steve walked around and opened the door for Tommy to get out. "See you after school," Tommy smirked as he walked toward the entrance.

Steve slammed the car door before heading into school himself. His upper body was on fantastic display as the sweat shirt he was wearing was really too small. It was originally designed for Tommy, so was stretched across Steve's muscles. That was the ONLY nice thing about the shirt. The large "LOSER" written across the front and back reminded Steve and everyone else of his being outsmarted in the wrestling match. Not to mention some of the stains still visible on the shirt.

Steve stormed across the parking lot and into the building. "He's not going to be any fun to be around this week," Rusty intoned to Kevin as he walked up behind him.

"Well, serves the idiot right for getting himself into the situation," he retorted.

"Hey, it wasn't his fault. He had Tommy beat until Bastian got in the way," Rusty defended his fellow HW Posse member.

"Yeah, but if he had let me do the thinking, I would have made sure the contract was written so that he didn't have to pay the price. He doesn't get paid to think," Kevin snorted. In actuality, Kevin had to give credit to Bastian. He had worked the system just like Kevin would have ? if he had thought of it first.

"Well you are probably right, but we as Posse have to stick together."

"Oh, we will, but there also has to be consequences for ones action," Kevin smirked. As he said these he turned to watch as Dane and Cody entered the building. "And that is the first consequence."

Seeing where Tommy was looking, Rusty asked "What do you mean by that Kev."

Kevin turned and stared at Rusty for a long time. "Just this Rusty. It time for Dane to defend his championship title and it should be a Posse member getting a shot. Now, by rights that should probably be Steve."

"Yeah, I guess so," Rusty replied sullenly. In truth he wanted that shot.

"However, I think it should be you," Kevin stated.

Looking a little shocked and trying not to look too smug, Rusty answered "thanks, but Steve..."

"Fuck Steve," Kevin replied hotly. Seeing the look on Rusty's face, Kevin backtracked a little. "I didn't mean that. What I meant was that Steve got fucked. Not only did Bastian screw up his revenge with Tommy, he screwed Steve out of his shot at the championship. Do you think that Dane is going to give him a title shot when he's walking around the school with a "LOSER" shirt on?? Besides, it doesn't do the image of the Posse any good. So I think you should get the title shot."

Rusty decided not to argue. Hell, he wanted the shot. "I guess that's true. But Steve's going to be pissed and he intends to challenge Dane today."

"He should be pissed - - - at Bastian. As for the challenge, I'll take care of that challenging Dane for you. I don't have time to tell Steve," (or truth be known the desire he thought), "because if I don't get the challenge done soon, someone other than a Posse member will get the shot."

With that Kevin headed off to find Dane. He found him in front of his locker. Approaching using his most insincere smile Kevin began, "Hey Dane, I got a challenge for your jacket."

"You are going to challenge me," Dane smirked and then laughed.

Trying to maintain his composure Kevin replied, "not this time dude. The challenge is from my good friend Rusty."

Cody looked over, "Rusty?? We thought Steve would be issuing that challenge??"

"Well, after the events of Saturday night, the Posse felt it would be more agreeable to everyone if Rusty issued the challenge. I mean there has to be a little "honor" to go along with the jacket and because of that asshole Bastian, Steve isn't quite the representative that TW needs right now."

Looking down the hall and seeing Steve at his locker, Dane laughed, "well you got that right. He is a LOSER not a champ." Both Cody and Dane laughed. Steve heard the laughter and turned toward the two. Dane blew a kiss down the hall. Steve just slammed the locker and headed in the other direction. He wanted to go and give Dane his head on a platter, but knew he could do that in the championship match which it looked like Kevin was negotiating at present.

"Yeah, Rusty is a good wrestler and probably has earned a shot. And with the microscope the Posse is under right now, it should be a fair match without the Posse's involvement." As he said the last he looked long and hard at Kevin.

"The Posse doesn't need to be involved for Rusty to kick your ass," Kevin replied hotly. "Do you accept the challenge or not."

"Yeah, I accept. I'll sign the contract later today. Oh, by the way, it'll be a two out of three fall match. Pin or submission."

"Agreed." Kevin smiled and stuck out his hand. Dane reached out and took the hand. As he did, Kevin pulled him in and delivered a knee to the balls. Dane doubled over.

"Don't EVER disrespect the Posse," Kevin hissed as he released the hand and walked into the crowd. He knew that neither Cody nor Dane would risk a confrontation here and now.

"Asshole," Cody replied as he checked on Dane. Dane was a little stunned but not really hurt.
