Hey guys! I was actually surprised when I saw I actually got reviews! Anyway, congratulations to those who made it in! That would be Scarlett, Kevin and Kaelyn!

I own nothing besides the plot!

Sonny's POV
I am standing outside of the auditorium for Drama, drenched in a sticky slushie. All around me, people are staring, laughing or whispering, but I don't care about them right now. All my attention is on the smirking blonde headed idiot named Chad Dylan Cooper.

"You bastard," I breathe deathly to him.

How did this happen, you ask? Well...

"Bye Mom," I said before stepping out of her Chevy. We had just moved to L.A. from Green Bay, Wisconsin because I had applied for Hollywood Arts at the end of my sophomore year. I've always dreamt of becoming an actress and Hollywood Arts seemed like I was a step closer to making my dream come true. I actually had auditioned for acting and music. So when I found out I won this year's scholarship, I was beyond psyched! Mom and I moved into this cute apartment fifteen minutes from school. I still found it hard to believe that I was actually here.

"Bye Sonny!" she said before driving off.

I sighed and looked at the school with a smile, "Hollywood Arts, here I come."

Homeroom was a breeze. The teacher – Marshall Pike - introduced me to the class. He seemed like a nice man, he even says we could call him by his name Marshall instead of Mr. Pike. I was sitting in the corner at the back – studying my schedule.

Homeroom – Mr. Pike

French – Mme. Hampton – r.300

P.E. - Coach Murphy – r. 213

Math – Mr. Lewis – r.56

Drama – Ms. Kun – Auditorium

Lunch

Independent Studies

English – Ms. Bitterman – r. 367

Art - Ms. Rivera – r.135

Science – Mr. Davis – r.302

Music – Mrs. Williams r.180

And that's when Chad Dylan Cooper turned around.

Let's just say we didn't get off on the right foot and... well... here I am. Soaking wet and sticky.

He just rolls his eyes, "You don't scare me. I'm Chad Dylan Cooper – the greatest actor of our generation!"

"Cut the crap, Cooper," a girl said from behind him. She had dark brown shoulder length hair and jade green eyes. Chad raised his eyebrows at her, "Sticking up for the new kid? That's a new low – even for you, Pauper." On that note, he walked off.

The girl ignored him and turned to me, "I'm sorry you had to see that. I'm Jada, by the way."

"Sonny Monroe," I said.

She smirked, "I know that, I have homeroom with you."

I laughed along with her, but on the inside I was thinking I'm an idiot.

"Well, luckily for you, I have a spare shirt in my bag," she said, tossing me a shirt, "Change quickly; we'll be late for drama." She shoved me into the janitor's closet that was located conveniently nearby. Five minutes later, Jada and I entered the hall where a bunch of kids were chatting animatedly.

"Yo Kaelyn!" Jada yelled at a pale girl with brown hair and piercing blue eyes. Kaelyn stopped talking to her group and came over to us.

"Hey Jada!" she greeted, "Who's the new girl?"

"She's Sonny. Sonny, meet Kaelyn she's a really great musician, dancer and actress, that's why she's here with us." Before I could say anything, the drama teacher walked onto stage and clapped her hands.

"Okay, class! Today we will be starting improv, so we'll start off with the Freeze Game! It's where two people start a scene and someone shouts 'freeze!' and the two people freeze in their positions. The person who yelled freeze will tap one of the two actors and take their position. The scene cannot be the same; you must make up a whole new scene, okay? First we'll have the new girl and Kaelyn!"

I walked onto stage with Kaelyn. I thought for a moment until a bright idea came to me. I took my phone and pretended to call someone.

"Hello?" Kaelyn grunted.

"Hello? Um, excuse me sir, my car broke down!" I said in a panic.

"No need to worry, ma'am, we'll get you sorted. Just tell me the name of the town you're in."

I looked around before responding, "I'm in What City."

Kaelyn nodded, "Yes, that's what I'm asking."

"I just told you the name! What City!"

"What are you asking me for?" Kaelyn asked in confusion, causing the class to laugh. I sighed, impatient, "You're the one who's asking!"

"I know that! What city?" she requested again. "That's it!" I exclaimed, relieved.

"You're in 'That's It City'?!"

"No!" I groaned, "What City!"

"What are you asking me for?" Kaelyn asked, shrugging her shoulders.

"You're the one who's asking!"

Kaelyn sighed and rubbed her temples, "Okay, you know what? Let's just forget about the city and move on to the street. The name of the street is?"

I looked around again before responding, "Which Street."

"The one you're standing on!" Kaelyn said, throwing her arms in the air. This time, the class burst out laughing.

"I know! Which Street, What City!"

Kaelyn screamed in annoyance, "The place you're in!"

"Which Street, What City!" I cried out in frustration. Just then, Jada shouted, "Freeze!" I froze with my hands still in the air and my mouth wide open. Kaelyn had an irritated expression on her face, and had the phone in front of her, looking like she was yelling at it.

Jada tapped Kaelyn and they swapped.

"Start!" Ms. Kun said.

"Stop your tantrum you're not getting your ears pierced!" Jada scolded. I stomped my foot, "But mom, all my friends are getting their ears pierced!"

"I don't care what your friends do!"

"But you cared when they passed their algebra test!" I retorted, pointing at Jada.

"Freeze!" Chad yelled. I tensed but didn't move. We froze, I was still pointing at Jada and she had her hands by her side, her fists balled. He tapped Jada and took her spot.

"Drop and give me fifty!" I yelled at Chad. He saluted, "Yes sir!"

"Its ma'am, soldier! Fifty thousand!"

Chad started doing push ups whilst I counted, "ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX... THAT WAS NOT A PUSH UP, SOILDER! Again, ONE, TWO, THREE..."

"Freeze!" a boy shouted. He tapped my shoulder and the scene started again.

"How could you let my new phone get run over?" he yelled at Chad, who was now on his knees.

"How was I supposed to know a car would come and hit it?!" Chad said defensively.

"It was in the middle of the friggin' road!"

"None of the cars were moving!"

"The red light was on when you passed by, idiot!" The bell rang, meaning I had Math now. I sighed, Jada and Kaelyn weren't in my Math class.

"Bye," I said to them before I headed to my class.

I sat in the second row, taking out my textbooks. I rolled my eyes, I didn't have a sharpened. I turned to the boy behind me.

"Hey," I said to him. He looked up from his Aquaman comic book, "Hi, I'm Grady!"

I smiled, "Sonny. Can I borrow your sharpener?"

Grady handed it to me just as another guy took it back, "What are you doing?"

"Nico, calm down," Grady said.

"No way," Nico said, "She's one of them. If we're seen talking to them, we're toast."

"What are you talking about?" I asked. Nico stared at me, "Don't talk to us, you'll regret it more than we will." Okay then. Weird. I turned my attention to the teacher who had just walked in. Here begins the longest thirty-five minuets of my life, I thought.

When the bell rang, I rushed out of the class, bumping into Kaelyn and Jada. "What do we have now?" Kaeyln asked. "It's time for lunch," I said. I couldn't wait until independent studies, where you could spend an hour of acting, music, dancing... whatever your talent was. I really found the academic side of things boring. But it was called school for a reason. Kaelyn and Jada led the way to the cafeteria.

"Where are we sitting?" I asked as soon as we got our lunch. "Meet the rest of the gang," Jada said, pointing at a table where five others sat. I frowned slightly, Chad sat there.

"Hey guys, this is Sonny," Kaelyn said, sitting down, "Sonny that is Scarlett, Kevin, Tawni, Skylar and Chad."

Skylar was the boy from Drama, the one who did improv with Chad. Kevin was the African-American boy. He was busy drumming onto his tray with two pencils to notice me. His shaggy black hair kept falling into his eyes from beneath his cap. I think he was in drama with me, but I don't remember. Tawni was checking out her nails, "Hey Sarah."

"Sonny."

"Whatever."

Scarlett sat next to Chad, who was texting. I smiled slightly; I hadn't seen her since Thanksgiving two years ago! I had almost forgotten her scarlet–black hair and her warm brown eyes.

"Hey Scarlett," I said, "It's been a long time." She smiled at me from across the table, "Yeah, two years, hey?"

"How do you two know each other?" Kevin asked, focusing on the conversation for the first time.

"We're cousins," we managed to say at the same time. I laughed and she cracked a smile.

Chad smirked when he saw me, "Can't get enough of me, can you, Monroe?"

I scoffed, "You wish, Chad."

"You two already know each other?" Scarlett asked.

"Sadly, yes."

"Pauper stuck up for her in the hallway!" Chad told his friends, "It was not natural."

"Why do you keep calling her Pauper?" I asked curiously. Jada sighed and stabbed her salad, "It's because my parents aren't filthy rich like everyone else's, and I won the scholarship last year since my mom is a music teacher here."

"I came up with it," Scarlett said proudly. Jada rolled her eyes and tossed her cherry tomato to Scarlett.

"Real mature," Scarlett stated, glowering at Jada.

"Real mature," Jada mocked, obviously not backing down. Scarlett's eye twitched in annoyance, "Stop it."

"Start it."

"Shut up."

"Shut down."

"That doesn't even make sense!" Scarlett exclaimed, throwing her hands into the air.

"You wanna go, 'cause I can do this all day if I want to!"

"Fine, Pauper."

"Princess." Okay, I may not know what is going on here, but I know that that was a bad move. Scarlett hates being called a princess.

"That's it," Scarlett said through clenched teeth, "Its go time."

"Bring it," Jada retorted. I decided to break up the fight, since Tawni, Chad, Kaelyn and Kevin were all watching with either amused expressions or irritated ones.

"Hey guys, its Nico's and Grady," I said, waving to the two as they passed. Nico ducked his head but Grady waved back. Jada and Scarlett stopped fighting and stared at me. Chad laughed, "I told you she was an Outsider – she even knows their names."

I looked at everyone in confusion until it dawned on me. That's what Nico had meant when he said I shouldn't talk to them. They were the 'outsiders' as Chad put it which meant that everyone here was popular.

"Guys, they're not that bad," I said. Eye rolls and 'sure, whatever's were my reply. I looked at my new friends and Chad with determination in my eyes. Nico and Grady were kind of my friends now. These guys should forget their positions on the social ladder and be friends! What, it could happen! Wait, I have a new mission.

By the end of the year, Nico and Grady will be sitting at this table or I'm not Sonny Monroe!

How was it? Please tell me! Other Characters will come in the next few chapters. Please review!
