Passing Notes

Chapter 1

SPOV

Sonny was walking down the hall towards her dressing room. Suddenly a loud bang made her jump. It sounded like a construction site. "What the?" She asked, breathing deeply to calm her heart. She looked up when she heard her name.

"Hey Monroe!" Chad called as he came into her view.

"Hey Cooper." Sonny replied, but Chad stopped in front of her. Okay, so this wasn't a general passing. "What do you want?"

"I've just come to tell you that we've got class together today." He sounded happy about it. Sonny raised an eyebrow. "Well, MacKenzie Falls classroom is being refurbished, so we've got class together until it's finished."

Sonny's mouth popped open. "Seriously! Oh great." She said sarcastically.

"Come on Sonny. I'm not that bad." Chad teased.

Truth was, she had trouble keeping herself in control around Chad, and seeing him every day in class for God knows how long really wouldn't help. So this was going to be hard. It was difficult keeping up her 'I-don't-like-Chad-Dylan-Cooper-act', especially know she thinks that she might.

She tried to sound like she wasn't bothered. "You'll love Miss Bitterman." She joked.

"Yeah, not looking forward to her. At least I'll be sitting by you." He grinned.

"What? But I sit by Tawni."

"Not anymore. We've got a seating plan." Sonny groaned but he ignored her and continued. "My director and yours thought it would be a great 'bonding experience', in other words, someone from the Falls has to sit next to a Random. So I picked to sit by you." He smiled happily. Some of the Chad she loved shined through the jerk mask he always seemed to wear, but then he composed himself and he was the obnoxious jerk once more.

"Why me?" Sonny asked out of general curiosity. Although she was already expecting his answer. He'd make excuses about not sitting by her cast mates and then say he ended up with her.

"Because I like you Monroe." He grinned again. Wow, had not seen that one coming. Chad noticed he'd said too much and his face was smug again.

"I'll see you in class." He winked.

"Fine." Sonny started their little argument.

"Fine."

"Good!"

"Good!"

Sonny turned abruptly and stormed walked away down the hall leaving the teen heartthrob staring wistfully after her. She grinned when he couldn't see, for she'd never tell him how much these little arguments with him meant to her. She'd only just fingered out herself what these feelings meant. Tawni was to blame for that. Tawni had been convinced for ages that she and Chad liked each other. Sonny used to be able to confidently shout at her and tell her she didn't, but now she wasn't sure. She had that feeling in your stomach, like when you're on a ride and you suddenly drop. She always had it when she talked to Chad. She also got light-headed.

Sonny didn't want to be like all the other girls in the world that fell for Chad Dylan Cooper's charm, but she had seen the real Chad. And she was in love with him, not the jerk he acted like.

She sighed. Why did he always hide the real him?

"What you sighing about?" Tawni asked from behind her. She just noticed she had already walked into in their dressing room.

"Oh, nothing." Had she really been sighing about Chad? That's a first.

"You were thinking about Chad weren't you?" Tawni guessed. Her voice sounded smug.

"Yes, but not for the reasons you think." Sonny rolled her eyes.

"Who cares! I told you that you liked him. And I bet he likes you to!" Tawni laughed. She loved being right.

"I doubt it." Sonny replied glumly. How she hoped.

"You'd be surprised." Tawni giggled quietly, so low that Sonny couldn't hear.

"Huh?" Sonny asked, hearing her giggle.

"Oh nothing." She smiled.

Sonny shrugged and went to get changed out of her sketch clothes. They had a class with Miss Bitterman for the next hour and she wasn't looking forward to it. Especially that she'd have to sit next to Chad for the whole hour. What would they talk about? She was sure she'd make a slip.

Ten minutes later, she and Tawni were walking to class and Sonny was filling her in with the news.

"Oh no! I have to sit next to a snob from MacKenzie Falls!" She wailed.

"Yup, at least you don't have to sit by Chad!" Sonny moaned.

"Oh please! I know you're happy about it." She teased.

"Hardly!" She grunted. They rounded the corner and walked into the classroom.

The room was full of people. Most of the people were gathered around Mrs Bitterman, being told where to sit while others sat unhappily in their seats. All but one. Chad was sitting in his seat near the back row with his chin resting on his fist – clearly bored.

Just for the hell of it, Sonny walked up to Miss Bitterman and asked her where to sit.

"You're at the back, next to Chad." She instructed. Sonny breathed out and walked to the back of the classroom.

Chad sat up straight. "Hey Sonny. Looking forward to class?"

Sonny rolled her eyes at him, then sighed and sat down. This was going to be one of the longest hours of her life.

Sonny watched Miss Bitterman tell Tawni where to go and then Tawni sulk. She stomped to the row in front of Sonny and about four tables to the right.

Tawni shot Sonny an unhappy glance and she returned it.

"I can't believe this." She mumbled, turning to Chad for the first time. He looked completely relaxed. "Tawni's no where near me!"

"So?" He asked.

"We always talk, it make the lessons go faster." She moaned.

"You can talk to me." He replied.

"About what?" Sonny asked.

"I don't know, how's everything at So Random?" He asked.

Sonny laughed. "Do you really care?" She snorted.

Chad seemed a bit agitated. "Yes Sonny, I do care." He actually seemed interested. Sonny looked up to see Miss Bitterman begin the lesson. Sonny really didn't want to listen, so she turned back to Chad.

"Well…" Sonny told Chad about all the latest sketches and the parts that she found the most funny. Surprisingly, Chad seemed to smile now and then when she talked about it. Sonny's head was full of the great memories from her time at So Random and her face must of reflected it.

"You really love you're show don't you? He mused.

"Of course! I love what I do. There's no point doing something you don't enjoy." She grinned.

"Very true." He agreed. Suddenly a paper ball hit the back of Sonny's head. She turned around and discreetly picked it up off the floor. She opened it up and knew immediately it was from Tawni. Who else dotted their i's with hearts?

Hey Sonny. This is so boring. Having fun talking to lover boy?

Sonny rolled her eyes and scribbled her answer.

He's not as bad as I thought, quite sweet actually. We just had a normal conversation so things are going good! What about you?

She scrunched up the paper and threw it back to Tawni when Miss Bitterman wasn't looking. She saw Tawni scribble something down and then she threw it back to Tawni.

Jack's quite nice, and cute. Don't you think? Glad things are going good with Chad. I've been watching – he so likes you! When will you admit you like him?

Sonny looked up to meet Tawni's gaze and stuck her tongue out at her.

I'll never admit it. I told you, I'm not sure how I feel yet.

She threw it back and got a reply in minutes.

But it's so obvious! I can see the way you look at him! Stop lying to yourself Sonny and admit it.

Sonny read the last sentence over and over again. Had she been lying to herself? She looked up into Chad's eyes. He wasn't aware of her, as he was looking at the teacher, but in his eyes she could see the Chad she loved. She knew her answer.

Okay, Tawni. I'll admit it. I love Chad. But not the stupid jerk he pretends to be. The real Chad, the one I know.

Sonny took a deep breath and threw it to Tawni. She saw her stifle a scream. She wrote something else and threw it back.

I knew it! Doesn't it feel better now you've said it? And by the way – he likes you too. *Taps finger to nose* I know things!

She was right. It did feel better.

Tawni, I'd never think I'd say this but thank you. It really does help to say it. I hope he likes me too.

She tossed it to Tawni. She grinned at her and tapped her fingers against the desk impatiently, waiting for her reply. Tawni threw the paper to her but it went to long. It skidded past Sonny and fell into Chad's lap.

Oh. My. God.

Ah oh! What's gonna happen? Please review and tell me what you think!

Love You All!
