Okay, this was just something that randomly went through my head today….
I didn't think I would ever see this day coming. So Random! and Mackenzie Falls were going to have to take a class together for the rest of the year. Mr. Condor was requiring us to take a College level class for the rest of the year. The only problem was that the professor only taught one class a day over a video call and we had to take the class together.
We took it every morning at about 8:30. I usually got up there an hour earlier with other people because my mom has to work and she drops me off when she goes to work. I sometimes go to my dressing room and sleep, and then sometimes I go to the classroom and hang out with people for a little while or catch up on homework.
This particular morning happened to be the first morning in the last week of our classes. After that, we quit school and work and go on vacation for a little while. Tawni and I had been in the classroom just watching everyone else do stupid things and sometimes give our opinion on things. We still had thirty minutes before class started, and we were getting bored.
"Well, I'm going to do something this week that will make everyone remember me, as if they won't already." Chad said, coming into the room. I was surprised that he was coming in with Nico, Grady, and Zora.
"Oh yeah? What are you going to do? Make out with your reflection, Chip?" Nico asked. I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Oh, hey Sonny, didn't see you there. You know what, just because you laughed, you get to go last." Chad said to me.
"What are you talking about, Cooper?"
"Oh, you'll see. Just wait." he said and walked to the middle of the room. "Everyone, I have something to say. I am going to give each and every girl in this room a kiss."
I heard people voicing their opinions about it. Some were good and some were bad. Some had a little excitement to them; like Chad was going to fall in love if he kissed them. Whatever. That was my opinion. He wasn't going to kiss me, and that was that.
"Why do you want a kiss from every girl, Chad?" Tawni asked.
"Yeah, do you need to turn back into a Prince?" I asked.
"Hello? Look at me. Do you think I need to turn into a Prince?" he replied.
"You're right. You should start kissing right away!" I joked.
He turned away from me and walked over to some girls. I noticed that the kissing he was doing wasn't the small little peck on the lips kissing. It was full on, tongue in mouth, hot and heavy kissing. What did he think he was doing? He was crazy. Back at school there were some guys who were really hot and they knew they were hot, but they still didn't do things like this.
Later on that day, at lunch, I learned that Chad had kissed most of the girls in our class. Only Tawni and I were left. Zora was too young for the college class, but she stayed anyways just to learn some things. What was sad was that she got the class better than I did, but she couldn't get credit for the class. What a smarty-pants.
The week went on the same as always. There were no more kisses, and I thought that Chad was over himself until Thursday. I was coming back to my dressing room just after lunch, and I walked in on Tawni and Chad lip-locked.
"What is going on here?" I asked.
"I was just getting my kiss from Tawni. You're next. See you tomorrow, Munroe." Chad said, and walked out of the door.
"Tawni?" I shrieked.
"Don't yell at me! It was all him. He came in here, and when I turned around to ask him to leave he planted one on me. Good thing I've kissed him before. I can't fall for him now." she said.
"Tawni, you can't fall for someone just by kissing them." I informed her.
"Say whatever you think, Sonny, but the truth is that you are just telling that to yourself so that you can believe that when Chad kisses you, you will be able to resist him and go on with your normal life." Tawni explained.
"Whoa. That was weird coming out of your mouth." I said.
"Hey, was that supposed to be an insult?" she asked.
"My point exactly." I walked out of the door.
The next morning, things weren't the same. Every single girl in the class, except Tawni and I, was staring at Chad. He was enjoying the attention, and five minutes before class he acknowledged my presence. I was hoping he wouldn't, but he walked over to me and looked into my eyes.
"Are you ready, Sonny?" he asked.
"Chad, you are not going to kiss me. Just go back over there and kiss one of the girls who is desperately falling for your act. I'm immune." I said.
"Are you, Sonny? Are you really?" he asked, and cupped the side of my face with his hand. Some of my bands went into his hands. I grabbed his hand and was going to pull it off my face when I accidentally looked into his eyes. I instantly got lost. I don't know if it was just me being lost in his eyes, but it certainly looked like he was lost in mine, too.
Suddenly, the TV in the front of the class turned itself on, and I heard the click of the video camera coming on. Chad took his hand away from my face and said, "After class." I knew that I would have to get out of there as soon as I could after class. There was no way that I could let him touch me again, or risk getting caught in his eyes again.
The entire class I was thinking about how to get out of there. Maybe I could say that I needed to go to the bathroom a few minutes before class was over. Yeah, I could do that. But wait, he would just tell me to wait until class was over to go. What if I told him that I had to throw up? Well, he would probably ask me how I could still talk to him without gush coming out of my mouth.
I was still contemplating when the teacher signed off. I didn't even noticed he did it. I didn't notice everyone getting up until Chad walked over to me and said, "Still thinking about my eyes?"
"I don't think so." I said. Thinking quick on my feet, I added, "Now, if you will excuse me, I need to get to the front where my mom will be meeting me to give me my lunch."
"Okay, then, Munroe. But I'll meet you in your dressing room afterwards."
I winced, but he couldn't see me. I walked out of the room and went straight to my dressing room. I skipped lunch and went to Marshall's office. I was going to talk to him about when we were starting work again.
"Hey, Marshall." I said, walking into his office.
"Oh, hey, Sonny." Chad said.
"Chad? What are you doing here?" I asked.
"I'm waiting for Marshall to get back with my yogurt. So, while we're here, how about that kiss?" he asked.
"Chad, I don't think-"
"Shush." He walked over to me and put a ringlet of hair behind my ear. He gently brushed his fingers up and down my cheek. It was wonderful feeling. I was so certain he was going to kiss me this time. He closed his eyes, and started to lean in. Was this really what I wanted? I was just about to lean in when Marshall walked in. We moved apart just in time.
"Sonny, what are you doing here?" Marshall asked.
"I was going to ask you when we start the next season of the show." I replied.
"Oh, in a couple of months. You get the Summer off, and then a little bit of the Fall, but you come back in October. Now, you need to get to the set." he said.
"What? Why?" I asked. Normally, we didn't rehearse until 2, and it was only 12:30.
"Because Mr. Condor wants us to rehearse a lot today because it is the season finale. Go ahead and make your way over there and I will be there in a minute." he told me.
I did as he said, and left. Unfortunately, Chad followed me.
"Listen, Sonny. Just let me kiss you one time. I really wanted to do this and I won't be satisfied until I kiss you." he told me.
"Oh, so you do want to kiss me?" I asked.
"No. I just want to get my goal of kissing every girl here done." he explained.
"And that is why you will never kiss me, Chad. You won't ever get to kiss these lips until you want to kiss them for them. Not because of something stupid like the fact that you want to kiss every girl here before you leave. Now, I have to get to rehearsal."
He took my hand and guided me to the wall. This was going to be a quick kiss, I could tell. One, he was mad now, and two, I told him that he couldn't kiss me so now he had to kiss me. He was a second from kissing me when Mr. Condor came down the hallway. We were good enough to pull away before he looked up from his cell phone.
I quickly walked to the set. I left Chad behind me and Mr. Condor walking toward him. I didn't tell anyone about what happened. I certainly didn't tell them that I liked it when Chad Dylan Cooper got a little rough with me and pinned me to the wall, wanting to kiss me.
We rehearsed for what seemed like forever and then did the show. Everyone was saying their goodbyes when I walked away. I wanted to leave before Chad could find me and he thought that I would never leave without saying goodbye to everyone. Well, what he didn't know was that I was fine with saying goodbye through text, and talking to everyone via cell for the rest of the Summer.
I got my stuff from the dressing room and made my way out into the hallway when a bunch of people came from the set. It reminded me of when I was in high school. I was in front of everyone. I heard someone yell my name. "Sonny!"
I kept ignoring them, thinking it was Chad. A few more people joined in.
"Sonny!"
I still ignored them. There was no way I was going to let Chad ruin my last day with my friends by kissing me. He was a jerk.
"Sonny!"
Almost everyone was chanting now. Finally, I turned around and yelled, "What!"
Chad was directly behind me. He was so close that I had to stifle a shriek. I did jump, though, and Chad grabbed my arm. I pulled my arm away and sighed.
"What do you want, Chad?" I asked, even though I already knew.
"Kiss me." he said. There is was, plain and simple. He probably thought that I was going to pull away. Probably thought that I was going to say no and try to run away again. What he didn't know was that I'd told myself that if he tried this again, I wouldn't say no. That I did, indeed, like him too much, and like that he was trying so hard to kiss me.
I slowly let my arms reach up and wrap around his neck. "Fine."
