(OOC: Sorry for the crappy showing. Been struggling the last week or so for different reasons, and I just couldn't get anything better written. Sorry to my opponents and to my tag team partner. I hope for a better showing next time!)
Two matches, two wins! And, man, does it feel great! I wasn’t expecting Milisandre to make it easy by any means, and she sure didn’t disappoint. She put up a hell of a fight, even more so than Aspen did in my first match, but in the end, I did it. I beat her! I defeated one of the hashtag Cool Kids, and there’s not a thing anyone can say that will spoil my good mood about that. Say what you want. Think what you want. It just ain’t happening, people!
I’m starting to settle in a bit, I think. Sure, I’m still new, but I’m not letting things get to me. I’m following through on every promise that I made myself before debuting here in LAW, and I intend to keep doing just that. I don’t know what people think of me. I don’t know if they like me, hate me, or if they are on the fence, but honestly, I just don’t care. As long as I’m making some sort of impression, that’s all that matters to me. There are only two people whose opinions of me that I care about in this world, and that is my mother, and my now ex-boyfriend, Preston. My father would be the third on that list, but he’s watching down on me from up above, so I’m working to make him proud in whatever way I can.
So a lot happened in Kansas City. At least, for other people. I made a weird decision to just stay off camera for the night while I focused on my match against Milisandre, and I’m glad I did. I wish I had more going on, but then again, that’s only begging for distractions to come my way and I don’t need that. Not now, not ever. But I’m sure in time it’s bound to come my way, and quite honestly, I’ll worry about all of that if and when it happens. And until it does, I’m enjoying the sweet advantage of having NO DISTRACTIONS.
Before my match against Milisandre, I knew that every match going forward would be that much more difficult, especially if I won. The more I make an impression, the bigger the obstacle they will put up against me, and LAW 70 in Minneapolis will be no different. No easier, even considering Milisandre is part of the equation yet again. This time, though, it will be a tag team match, meaning we won’t just have to rely on ourselves to get the win, but our tag team partners. Kenzi Grey and Maria Salvatore.
I’m not too sure how I feel going into this match. I mean, Maria is pretty cool. She’s the first real acquaintance I have in LAW that’s not a backstage reporter. I guess you could say we became quick friends, but I don’t know if I know enough about her to say that for sure just yet. Either way, I’ll have her back in this match, and I sure hope I can trust her to have mine.
As for Kenzi and Milisandre? Well...I already know I can beat Milisandre. I know every match is different, and anything can happen, but I’ve never faced Kenzi and from what I know...she’s kind of a big deal in this place. Or I guess I should say she makes a lot of noise and is well known. I’m not sure a lot of people like her, but at the end of the day it’s not about whether or not anyone likes her, it’s about what she’s capable of in the ring. But you know something else? In tag team matches, it’s also about how well you can trust your tag team partner, and after the way the show ended in Kansas City, I don’t think Kenzi and Milisandre will be able to keep it together as a team. Friends or not.
I could be wrong. They could set their differences aside for the sake of this match and for the sake of both trying to get their shot at the Breakout Championship, but my gut feeling is telling me that just won’t happen. And it’s unfortunate. I want them both to bring their A-Game. I want them to be completely focused on this match, but we don’t all get what we want, do we? In the end, it’s up to Kenzi and Milisandre to decide what kind of performance they will bring to this match, and that..that gives Maria and I an advantage, no matter what they think.
I’m rolling with the punches though. I’m taking everything in stride and win or lose, I’m going to keep a smile on my face. I’m not trying to skyrocket to the top right off the bat. I want to work my way up and see what everyone’s got, because sooner or later, everyone falls. Everyone loses, so I know it’s bound to happen. I’d like to continue move my record to three and oh, but we’ll see how it goes.
Kenzi...Milisandre...I want to wish the two of you the best of luck. I hope the two of you can put your differences aside and work as a team, even if it means Maria and I will have to work that much harder. Let’s see what you got, ladies, because I’m ready.
And I hope you’re ready, too, Maria! They made us tag team partners for a reason, and let’s try not to disappoint. I know everyone thinks we’re the underdogs, so let’s prove everyone wrong and show that the underdogs can come out with their hands held high and a notch on their win column. Let’s take the hashtag Cool Kids down and move up the ladder just a little bit more. I know we can do it, but the question remains...Do you know we can?! I hope you do!
See you all on Sunday!
