Sonny Monroe was lying on her bed thinking. She was thinking about everything, her friends, So Random!, the meaning of life, and most importantly her boyfriend. Chad Dylan Cooper. They'd been dating for about a year and Sonny was starting to wonder. They use to be desperately in love; lately it's just been kind of boring.
"What happened to us?" Sonny whispered to her self. She looked at the clock and realized she had to get ready for a red carpet event she was going to with Chad that night.
An hour and a half later Sonny was red carpet ready. She was wearing a strapless dark blue dress and sliver accessories. Her hair was lightly curled and the sides were pulled back. At exactly 7:30 there was a knock on the door. Sonny walked to the door and pulled it open, reveling Hollywood's hottest young actor. In other words, her boyfriend. He always came exactly on time. Sonny was now realizing that it was a little boring knowing exactly what's going to happen.
"You ready to go Sonny? By the way you look amazing tonight."
"Thanks Chad. Let's go." Sonny said. As they walked towards the elevator of Sonny's apartment building Sonny's mind was elsewhere. A year ago he would have said I was looking hot like any other guy, what's with the gentleman thing? Sonny wondered as the elevator came. Chad graciously let Sonny step in first.
"So you excited about tonight?" Chad asked as they rode down. Small talk?
"Yeah I guess. These things just get kind of boring and repetitive after a while."
"Don't worry Sweetie. They aren't all the same. There's bound to be something different at every premiere." Chad said ask he put his arm around Sonny's waist and lightly pecked on the cheek. A peck, that's it? He use to make-out with me whenever he could, now he's not even bothering? These thoughts were all bothering Sonny. She had never really realized how much Chad had changed in the last year. Finally the excruciatingly long elevator ride was over. The couple exited the apartment building and walked to a limo that was waiting for them.
"This is supposed to be the big summer blockbuster movie." Chad said as they pulled away from the curb.
"Well Harry Potter is huge. It'd be a summer blockbuster even if it premiered in December." Sonny said sarcastically. Chad gave a fake laugh as if what Sonny said was the funniest thing in the world.
"Your probably right Hun. That franchise is amazing." Chad responded once he had calmed down from his laughing fit.
"I read in a magazine that the secret is Daniel Radcliff, a hot guy who's the richest man under 20 in Britain just makes the girls go crazy." At this point Sonny was seeing if she would be able to get her old Chad back. The old Chad would scoff and start bragging about how he would have been Harry Potter but his hair wasn't black.
" I guess that would do the trick. Oh we're here." Chad said realizing that the limo had pulled up to the red carpet. The driver opened up the door and the pair stepped out. They we're immediately blinded by the flashing of cameras.
"Chad is it true that you're going to be going to Australia to shoot you're new movie?"
"Sonny! Are you really trying to pursue a career in music?"
"OMG CHAD! I LOVE YOU!"
Reporters and fans were all trying to get Chad and Sonny's attention. They walked the red carpet, stopping every now and then to sign an autograph or pose for a picture. After a while they were finally able to get inside the theatre.
"See? There are always different questions and crazy fans. It's not like we hear the same thing everywhere."
"Chad, the point is there are always reporters and crazy fans. Never mind, lets just go get something to eat." Sonny took Chad's hand and pulled him towards the snack counter.
"Large popcorn and two regular cokes please." Chad said when they got to the front of the line. Sonny began searching her purse for her wallet but Chad stopped her.
"Don't worry about it sweetie, it's on me." Chad smiled and took the food from the snack counter girl. When they were seated in the theatre Sonny was given some time to think. It's not Chad's fault my life is repetitive. I chose this. But…he's so different. Why haven't I noticed it before? It's not like it was sudden. I miss the old him, the one I fought with constantly and the one when he was nice it was special. Now it's just…dull. Oh did he just say something? Shoot. Sonny was knocked out of her thought by Chad whispering in her ear.
"Earth to Sonny. The movie's about to start." Chad whispered. Apparently Sonny had been thinking for a while. The theatre was dark and the previews were starting. For the next two hours Sonny sat silently watching Harry Potter be magical. At some point Chad put his arm around her, sending her back into thought. Where's the spark. Even on hour fake date every time we touched there was a jolt of electricity through my body. It was at that point that Sonny finally decided to do something about her predicament.
When the movie was over the two left. Sonny quickly pulled Chad down the red carpet, ignoring any questions reporters threw at them. They were almost at the limo when one rude reporter managed to get past security and block their way.
"Wow, I'm meeting Channy. I'm so honored." The women said with an obnoxious smirk. " Cindy Walter's of People's Magazine. I just have two little questions if you don't mind."
Before Sonny could tell the rude women that she minded very much Chad spoke.
"Yeah sure." He said. Why does he have to choose now to be nice?!
"Fabulous! Okay first, Chad do you think you've changed since dating little Ms. Monroe over here? And secondly, where do you see 'Channy' going in the future?"
"Well," Chad said "I personally don't think I've changed that much. I might be a little nicer to people but that's it. And as for the second question, I hope it goes far. Seeing as I love Sonny." Chad put his arm back around Sonny and the two walked away. Sonny was feeling worse with each step they took.
"So was the evening that horrible?" Chad asked as he and Sonny stood at her door.
"Umm…Chad why don't you come in?" Sonny asked. She had been trying to figure out how to do this the whole way home and figured that she'd just improvise.
"Alright." The two walked into the apartment and took a seat on the couch facing each other. "Hey what's wrong sunshine?" Chad asked, only then realizing that Sonny was looking like she might be sick at any moment.
"Chad we need to talk." Sonny said trying to keep her voice from cracking. Chad's face fell, as he understood why Sonny was acting strange.
"Sonny, you're not…breaking up with me are you?" Chad asked. Sonny looked into his clear blue eyes and saw hurt. She'd always been able to read Chad by looking in his eyes. She broke away from his gaze and looked down at the floor.
"I think it's for the best. Good-bye Chad." Sonny said. She hoped he would leave soon; she didn't want him to see her cry.
"You're not serious, are you?" Sonny nodded still not looking at him. "Sonny please don't. Whatever's wrong we can fix it. I love you…" Chad seemed to realize it was a lost cause and stood up. Before he exited he turned and looked at Sonny. "I'll always love you Sonny, and I know you still love me." With that Chad Dylan Cooper left the apartment, leaving a crying Sonny behind.
