Just want to let you guys know I haven't been keeping up with Sonny with a Chance so this story is set before Sonny and Chad started dating.
And can we pretend Chad is 20 and lives on his own and Sonny is 19 please?
Hope you enjoy it :P

My eyes shot open at the sound of my alarm and I immediately began to smile as I looked out of the window and saw it was a beautiful day with not a cloud in the sky. The thought of being stuck at work on such a glorious day did dampen my mood ever so slightly but I didn't really have a choice, so I jumped in the shower.
After getting dried off I got dressed in a flowery print dress and a denim jacket, grabbed my bag and car keys and headed off to work.
As soon as I stepped through the doors to Condor studios I realised I'd forgotten something big. Tonight was Chastity's party. I know that doesn't sound that big but Chastity holds these massive parties where people could stay the night if they wanted to. Plus, this year was the first one anyone from So Random! had been invited to. The hype around the party left the whole of condor studios was buzzing.
I quickly made my way to my dressing room where I was greeted by Tawni, who was even more upbeat than usual.
"Hey Sonny! What are you wearing to Chastity's party tonight?"
"I have no idea, I'm not even sure if I'm going."
"What! You have to go; I can't be seen at a big party like that on my own!"
"Well I forgot about it until this morning so I don't have anything to wear."
"Don't worry about that, we'll go shopping this afternoon and find you something great to wear," Tawni smiled, she knew I was rubbish at coming up with excuses.
"Aww fine, but I don't want to be trailing round the shops all afternoon."
"Sonny, shopping can take as long as it needs to for us to find you the perfect dress. We don't want you to look anything less than your best for Marc now do we?"
"Tawni Marc is my ex-boyfriend, emphasis on the EX. There is no way in hell I want to get back together with that two-timing bastard!" The thought of seeing Marc made my blood bloil.
"Sonny, I'm not stupid, I know you don't want to get back together with him. This is to make him jealous," Tawni smirked
"Hmm, I guess you have a point. Okay, I'll meet you after work," I said, finally giving in and walking over to my wardrobe to get changed into my costume for the sketch we'd be rehearsing today. Tawni smirked as she reapplied her lipstick in the mirror.
After a hard morning in rehearsals I met up with my cast mates for lunch in the canteen.
"Hey Sonny," Nico and Grady smiled at me as I sat down.
"Hey guys. Where's Zora?" I couldn't see her anywhere.
"She's probably hiding in some vent somewhere," Tawni answered me as she walked over to join us.
"So, who's going to Chastity's party tonight?" Tawni was far too into this party.
"We definitely are," Nico answered, gesturing towards himself and Grady.
"Wouldn't miss it for the world," Grady added. "What about you Sonny?"
"She is most definitely going," Tawni answered for me.
"Only because I was forced," I glared at Tawni.
"Well, we'd better get going, we're off to buy something to wear tonight," Tawni announced before grabbing me by the arm and dragging me to the car park.
"Tawni why can't we just go to the mall round the corner, I'm sure that would have something which would be quite sufficient for what I need." I was starting to get bored of the half hour drive Tawni insisted we take to her favourite shopping mall.
"Will you please quit your whining, anyway we're almost there."
A few minutes later we arrived at the mall. It wasn't as big as the one close to the studios but it was the home of more expensive brands rather than your everyday wear.
Tawni practically ran to the entrance, only slowing down to complain about how slow I was walking.
"Look, do you want to find a dress for the party or not because we have less five hours left."
"Okay, okay I'm coming. Gosh you really over exaggerate when it comes to shopping."
I think Tawni chose to ignore my last comment and instead dragged me into Macy's.
As soon as I stepped inside I was greeted by hundreds of dresses and the thought of trying on the numerous dresses Tawni would no doubt find for me was a little daunting. It was with this in mind I chose to plunge head first into shopping. Well, by that I mean I tried to get Tawni to let me buy the first dress I thought was acceptable.
The first one I found was quite a pretty dress really. It was black with a white belt, one shouldered and had a figure hugging bodice and a puffy pleated skirt. I thought it would be quite flattering on me but Tawni was quick to tell me it was plain and too cheap at just $150. I was a little miffed but put the dress back and carried on looking.
After a while in Macy's we moved on to other shops. But every time I found a dress I liked we had the same problem with Tawni thinking it was too plain, too cheap, the wrong colour or on a few occasions "just plain awful".
I was starting to get a little fed up as I didn't like any of Tawni's suggestions so far either. It was only when we came across a small designer store that we began to see eye to eye.
Tawni and I immediately set eyes on a beautiful Alice + Olivia dress. It was a silk-chiffon dress with a black lace overlay on the bodice. The skirt was nude and was perfectly draped and pleated and the straps were the same colour and material as the skirt. I instantly fell in love and went to try it on.
I stepped out of the dressing room and heard Tawni gasp.
"Sonny you look amazing. If this doesn't turn some heads tonight then I don't know what will."
"Aww thanks Tawni, that's so sweet."
"Yeah well don't expect it too often." And we're back to normal on the Tawni front.
I paid for the dress and we made our way back to the car to make the half hour journey back home.
As soon as I got home I began to get ready to go to Chastity's. I washed and dried my hair then styled it into loose curls. I did my makeup and finally put on my beautiful dress. I spent a few minutes admiring it in the mirror before I put on my key shaped necklace which my mum bought for me before I moved to Hollywood.
I packed an overnight bag with my favourite pyjamas, my wash bag and some clothes for the next day. Then to finish of my outfit I put on some chunky beige high heels and grabbed a small black clutch, my overnight bag and my sleeping bag before heading off to Chastity's.
When I got to Chastity's house the place was already heaving with people. Chastity's parents are extremely rich and have one of the biggest houses in the area. I looked around for someone I recognised but couldn't find anyone, so I text Tawni.
'Tawni where are you? xx'
The reply came back pretty quickly.
'I'm out by the pool with Nico and Grady, please hurry they're driving me insane xx'
'Ok I'm on my way xx'
I walked through the house to the pool and started to wander around until I found my friends.
"Sonny! We're over here!" Tawni leapt up from her seat and began walking towards me.
"Hey guys, I thought there was nobody here I knew for a minute there."
"Well, now –," Nico began before Tawni interrupted.
"Sonny let's go get some drinks and leave the boys in peace."
"You guys can stay here, we don't mind," Grady said.
"No, I'm really thirsty. C'mon Sonny," Tawni quickly replied. She certainly wanted to get away from Nico and Grady for some reason.
"What's the rush for? There's plenty of time to get a drink," I asked, confused by Tawni's behaviour.
"I told you, Nico and Grady get on my nerves."
"I think you need to lighten up a little, they're lovely people."
"Well for now I'd like to stay away from them."
"Suit yourself," I shrugged.
I wasn't completely convinced that was the only reason Tawni didn't want to be around Nico and Grady but I didn't feel like arguing.
When we finally made it to the kitchen after pushing past numerous people, we grabbed a drink each and headed to the living room.
The living room was a little less crowded than the other rooms so we managed to grab a seat on one of the sofas.
"So, have you seen Marc anywhere?" I asked Tawni once we were sitting down.
"Nope, I heard he's not coming," Tawni smiled at me.
"What! You told me he was coming! That's why I came!"
"Did I? Oops."
"So you only wanted me to come tonight to keep you company?" I was starting to get angry now.
"Pretty much. But I did think it would be good for you to get out of your apartment for a change."
"Eurgh, fine. I'm going to get another drink."
I needed to get away from Tawni for a while so I went back to the kitchen.
The kitchen was heaving and I had to push my way to the table to get myself another drink. I grabbed a drink and went to talk to some of the other people at the party. I still wasn't ready to talk to Tawni.
I ended up spending a few hours wandering around and getting to know people until I began to feel extremely dizzy. I decided to go back and see Tawni.
"Hey Tawni," I said when I finally found her in the dining room.
"Oh, hey Sonny, I thought you'd gone home."
"No, I just got talking to some people and lost track of time. I came to tell you I think my drink was spiked," the room was beginning to spin now.
"Okay well why don't you go and find a bedroom and lie down and I'll get you a glass of water."
"But-"
"Don't worry; I'll only get it from a bottle which hasn't been opened."
"Thanks Tawni, you're the best."
"Don't mention it. Now go on and have a lie down, I won't be long."
I headed upstairs to find a bed, but every room I tried had a locked door, apart from one, but I'd rather not say what stopped me from staying in that room.
I was just heading downstairs, about to give in and head home, when I remembered seeing a pool house when I first arrived. With that in mind I headed outside and tried the door of the pool house and as luck would have it the door opened. I crept inside, not wanting to interrupt anything if there was someone inside.
As soon as I entered the room I saw a sleeping figure on the bed. I was about to turn and leave when I realised the sleeping figure on the bed was only Grady. So when I noticed the comfortable looking three seater sofa I made my way to the bathroom to put on my pyjamas – a pair of shorts and a tank top. When I finished in the bathroom I got out my sleeping bag and made myself comfortable on the sofa.
I woke to the sound of the door opening and thought it must be Tawni bringing me my water. But to my surprise, the blonde who crept into the room was not Tawni but Chad Dylan Cooper.
"Oh, hey Sonny. Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you." Chad whispered, aware of the snoring Grady on the sofa.
"Don't worry about it. What are you doing in here anyway?" I whispered back.
"I was just looking for somewhere to sleep, but I guess I'll find somewhere else"
"You can stay in here, I don't mind at all, and I'm sure he won't even notice." I gestured towards Grady who was spread out across the bed.
"If you're sure you don't mind ..."
Chad grabbed a pillow from the bed and settled down on the floor between the bed and the sofa.
"You can't be comfortable down there." I whispered to him.
"It's not that bad really, just a cold stone floor." He smiled up at me.
"You can sleep on the sofa with me if you like, there's plenty of room."
"If you're sure you don't mind."
"Will you stop saying that and get on this sofa please; I don't want you catching a cold."
He got up and lay down next to me on the couch facing the bed with his back to me. The couch was actually a lot smaller than I first realised but that wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
"Actually I'm a little cold now." Chad whispered to me after about ten minutes of silence.
"Oh sorry, here, you can have a bit of my sleeping bag." I unzipped my sleeping bag all the way, turning it into a blanket, and spread it over us both.
"Thanks." Chad mumbled, turning round to face me.
He was a lot closer to me now and I could smell his aftershave.
"You're aftershave smells really good." I mumbled.
"Thanks, it's Only the Brave by Diesel."
"I think that might be my new favourite smell." Did I just say that? It must be the alcohol talking.
"Well thank you." I could see Chad was smiling even though it was almost pitch black. What did that mean?
He took another break in the conversation as an opportunity to move further towards me. His head was now buried in my chest.
"You're really warm." He whispered into my chest.
You'd think I'd feel very uncomfortable in this situation but I actually felt quite comfortable. What is wrong with me? This is Chad Dylan Cooper!
These thoughts were making my heart beat faster and I knew he could feel it in my chest because his hand snaked around my waist.
"You looked beautiful in that dress tonight Sonny."
"Thanks Chad." I could feel myself blushing and I was glad of the darkness.
"You're welcome." Chad pulled me closer to him and I put my arm around his waist. What on Earth was I doing?
My heart started beating even faster and thoughts started rushing through my mind.
'Does this mean he likes me?', 'What if we start dating?', 'What would my cast mates think?', 'Does this mean I like him too?'
While I was lost in my thoughts, Chad took the opportunity to put his hand on my bum and gave a little squeeze. I gasped and felt him smile against my chest.
I felt his hand begin to wander towards the waistband of my shorts and his touch sent shivers up my spine. Just as his hand began to slip into my pants, the door was flung open and I pushed Chad away from me, causing him to roll off the couch onto the floor.
"Ow!" Chad moaned and started to rub his head. I gave him an apologetic look.
"Chad! What are you doing here?" Tawni burst into the room and started talking more loudly than necessary. Her cheeks were a little flushed and I could tell she was more than a little drunk.
"I was looking for somewhere to sleep and this was the quietest place I could find." Chad replied, still rubbing his head.
"Tawni does it really matter? Why don't you go back to whatever you were doing, seeing as you didn't bring the glass of water you were going to get me two hours ago."
"Fine, I will." Tawni turned around in a huff and headed out of the door.
With all the commotion Grady began to stir from his slumber.
"Chad," I whispered, "Let's get out of here."
Chad didn't need telling twice. He got up, grabbed some of my bags for me and we headed for the door before Grady even realised we were there.
"Where are we going, your place or mine?" Chad smirked at me.
"Well have you been drinking?"
"Nope."
"Then you can drive my car and we can go to your place, my mum's home."
Chad smiled even wider and practically ran to his car.
The whole way back to his house his hand was resting on my leg, slowly moving up and down. I couldn't help but smile.
We finally arrived at Chad's house and as soon as we made it through the door Chad pinned me to the wall and kissed me.
My heart skipped a beat. My hands worked their way up to his hair and I began to return the kiss.
Chad started to move us towards his bedroom where we collapsed onto his bed.
I woke up the next morning to the sunlight creeping through the window of an unfamiliar room. I looked up and noticed I had been sleeping on top of Chad. That's when I realised he was naked. And so was I.
Memories of the night before came rushing back to me and strangely enough I didn't feel at all ashamed or bad about what we'd done. I actually felt quite calm and relaxed.
"Good morning Sonny," Chad smiled down at me.
"Good morning Chad," I returned the smile.
"Fancy some breakfast?"
"Oh yes please, I'm famished."
Chad started to get out of bed and walked over to the wardrobe to get some clean boxer shorts. I was quite pleased he didn't just put yesterday's back on as it gave me time to admire his chiselled physique.
"Enjoying the view?" Chad smirked and I felt myself blush.
I scrambled out of bed, put on my bra and knickers and grabbed Chad's white button up shirt from the floor.
Chad turned and saw what I was wearing and his eyes popped open.
"Enjoying the view?" I did my best impression of Chad's voice and now it was his turn to blush.
"C'mon, these waffles won't cook themselves," Chad gestured towards the door.
"Mmm waffles." Chad just laughed at me as we made our way downstairs.
Chad's house was beautiful and I sat and admired it from the breakfast bar while I waited for Chad to cook the waffles.
When he finished he brought them over to me and we sat and ate our breakfast.
"Look Sonny, about last night."
My heart sunk, surely he wasn't about to say he didn't have feelings for me after everything that happened.
"I just wanted to make sure that's what you wanted and I didn't force you into anything."
Phew, "No of course not Chad, I definitely wanted to."
"That's okay then," he smiled and I saw him relax as if a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.
After finishing breakfast I helped Chad wash up, put on some clean clothes and got ready to leave.
"Are you sure you have to go?" Chad was doing his best to make me stay.
"My mum will be worried if I don't get home soon. She thinks I'm at Chastity's, remember?"
"Fine, but text me later okay?"
"I will, don't worry."
I stood on my toes to give Chad a kiss before I headed home feeling on top of the world.
Well, I hope you enjoyed it! :P
I'm hoping to get some more chapters up soon but please don't be annoying with me if it takes a while because I'm doing A-level exams for the next 4 weeks.
In the meantime you could always review, pretty please with a cherry on top? :P
