Sonny slid her lunch card, then began to head towards her usual lunch table with her friends Amanda and Lucy. They were picking at their Salisbury Steak disgustedly. "Ohmigosh," Sonny exclaimed, "I'm still in shock." She grinned, referring to her landing a part on her all-time favorite television show So Random!
"Yeah," Lucy said blandly, frowning down at her tray.
"Okay, what's up?" Sonny said strictly, intently watching her friends. They had been acting so disappointed for her ever since she broke the news to them. Amanda rolled her eyes and side-glanced at Lucy, who finally looked up.
"What's up?" She raised her arched eyebrows, "What's up? You're leaving for Hollywood tomorrow and you wanna know what's up?" Sonny knit her eyebrows together in confusion.
"Wait, you guys are angry because I'm leaving? You guys should be happy for me!" Sonny said, fighting back tears.
"We are, Sonny!" Amanda explained, "But it's not fair. You're pretty much-uh-trading us for fame, you know?" Sonny shook her head.
"Trading you for fame?" She shoved her tray away and stood up, "Nice way to say good-bye to me, guys." She walked the halls and stopped at her locker. Number 32.
She did her combination quickly and the locker spun open. She stared at the photos she had cut out of magazines. Ones of Chad Dylan Cooper from Mackenzie Falls and others from the cast of So Random! She sighed unhappily, "Why does it have to be so complicated?" She murmured to herself. She took her cell phone out of her backpack and began to speed dial her mother.
"What is it, Sonny, I'm in the middle of a meeting!" Ms. Monroe said anxiously, whispering into her Blackberry.
"Mom, I don't know if I can do it." Sonny whispered back while passing kids eyed her suspiciously, obviously trying to eavesdrop on her.
"Do what?" Her mother said, "Go to Hollywood?" She began to laugh, "Psh, please, darling, you'll be fine. Oops, gotta go!" Her mother hung up on her quickly. Sonny threw her phone into her locker, ignoring the loud crash it made as it hit the metal. She slammed her locker shut and leaned up against it, sliding down to the floor. She hugged her legs tightly to her chest and sighed, thinking critically about her options.
The bell rang, signaling the end of seventh period and the end of the school day. Students filed out of the doors towards the buses, but Sonny held back, waiting for her friends. She caught Amanda before she hit the doors. "Mandy, wait!" She called, grabbing the sleeve of her hoodie and pulling her back.
"I'm leaving tomorrow and I can't leave things the way we did." Sonny said, looking down at her feet, "So . . . Do you wanna come help me pack?" Amanda shook her head.
"Are you serious? You're seriously asking me to come pack after you're just going to pick up and leave for Hollywood?" Amanda began to walk for the doors, "No thanks." Sonny opened her mouth to say something, but her friend was already gone and Lucy was nowhere in sight.
"Sonny?" A deep voice said behind her. She whirled around and came face-to-face with her crush, Dylan. "Sonny Monroe? Aren't you, like, going to Hollywood to become a celebrity or something?" Sonny gulped.
"Y-Yeah, something like that." She stammered, staring into his hypnotizing blue eyes.
"Coo-" He said, his voice trailing off, "So . . . Can I have your number?" Sonny's deadbeat day suddenly became bright and sunny. Dylan was actually asking for her number.
"S-Sure! You can text me anytime, I'm always with my phone in case of emergencies. Not the modern man, no problem! You can always call, I love to chat. Of-Of course, I won't talk about boys with you I've-I've got girl friends for that but-but I'm gonna stop babbling now." She said sheepishly, handing him her phone number.
"Great. Text me when you get Megan Fox's autograph. Then you can mail it to me!" He smiled thankfully before leaving. Sonny frowned. She was just being used. The hallway was empty and she realized she had probably missed her bus.
Oh well, She thought, shrugging, Might as well just walk home.
The Wisconsin air was chilly, but Sonny was too distracted to close her window. She was tossing clothes after clothes into suitcases while watching So Random! She couldn't believe she was actually going to meet Tawni Hart.
"That's it for So Random! tonight folks!" Marshall, the director/creator said to the live audience. "Also, we are getting ready to welcome our newest cast member, Sonny Monroe!" Suddenly, Sonny's picture exploded onto the screen. She gasped and squealed.
"Ohmigosh!" She cried, "That's me! That's me!" Her mother chuckled and hugged her tightly.
"I'm so proud of you. This'll be great, I promise." Sonny looked into her mother's promising eyes and gulped. She wished she could've sent a text to Amanda or Lucy, telling them her picture was just on TV. But then she remembered that they weren't speaking.
