A/N: Sadly, I do not own Sonny With a Chance. It is owned by Disney Channel.
I was in the prop house, waiting for my cast-mates to show up. I had called an "emergency" So Random! cast meeting for today at 2:00. It was now 1:59. I was shaking in fear.
Why had I called this meeting? And why was I shaking in fear? Well, it was because...
I was finally going to tell them. I had to. If I hid it any longer, I would probably explode.
It was time to tell my cast-mates that I was hopelessly in love with Chad Dylan Cooper.
Of course, I wasn't going to actually use those words. I'd put it a little more... delicately. But still, that wouldn't make it any easier to tell them.
I checked my watch. I had twenty seconds to go before the meeting would begin. Twenty seconds to back out. Twenty seconds to hide. Twenty seconds to run away as far as a possibly could.
But sadly, my feet seemed to be glued to to floor.
I looked at my watch again. 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Tawni, Nico, Grady, and Zora came in, right on time (well, that was a first). This was it. There was no turning back now.
Trying to seem casual, I put on my brightest smile (without seeming fake, of course) and said, "Heeey, guys! What's up?"
Zora, of course, saw right through me. "Cut to the chase, Sonny!" she said in that crazy and intimidating voice of hers, edging toward me. "Why'd you call this emergency meeting?"
Huh? Had I really called this meeting an "emergency"? Oh yeah, I had. Back when I was so eager to get this secret off my chest. Now I just wanted to take my secret, swallow it, and have it sit deep in the pit of my stomach for all of eternity. But, like I said before, there was no turning back now.
I took a deep breath. "Uh..." I began. "Well, it's because..."
"Spit it out!" they all yelled.
I squeezed my eyes shut as tight as I possibly could. "I like Chad!" I quickly blurted out. I waited a few seconds. No response. I slowly opened my eyes.
They were all still staring at me expectantly, as if I hadn't told them anything yet. "Didn't you hear me?" I asked.
"Yeah, we heard you," said Nico. "Now, come on. What's going on?"
"What do you mean what's going on?" I asked. "I just told you, loud and clear!"
They stared at me, puzzled, for a moment. "Ohhh," said Grady, who seemed to have finally figured it out. He snickered. "You thought that we didn't already..."
All four of them doubled over with laughter. Tears were coming out of their eyes. Tawni even fell on the floor. Now it was my turned to be puzzled. What was so funny?
Then I realized. They already knew. I guess it was so obvious to them that I liked Chad (which was odd, since I thought I'd done a pretty good job of hiding it up to that point) that they figured I knew they knew.
Well, at least they weren't freaking on me, like I thought they would. I guess that was a good sign.
But one question still echoed in the back of my mind.
If my crush was obvious to them... was it obvious to Chad, too?
