Summer with the Coopers: Chapter One
"-He was fine the other day!" Connie Munroe choked out between her sobs. "I don't know what I'm going to do!" she cried to her best friend Christina Cooper.
"What do you mean? You have to go, he's your father!" Christina said sympathetically.
"I know, but Sonny. I can't make her leave. She's living her dream… If she leaves for that long then there's no way she's keeping her job."
"Connie, If Sonny did lose her job because of this, I'm sure she'd understand. She'll probably want to leave… Have as much time as she can with him."
"I know.." Connie said putting her face into her hands.
"…. She cans stay with us, if that will make this whole situation easier for everyone" Christina suggested.
"Th-that's too much. Two months? I couldn't ask you to do that.."
"You're my best friend, Connie. It's the least I can do, c'mon. Give her the choice." Knowing it was likely Sonny would say no, Connie nodded her head.
"Thank you. Really. It means a lot" Connie smiled. Smiling, Christina nodded "I know".
"Chad Dylan Cooper, I swear-" Sonny stormed into her home slamming the door shut.
"O-oh… Hi Mrs. Cooper" Sonny smiled sweetly at her as it would erase what just happened.
Christine laughed " Hello, Sonny. What did Chad do today?" She questioned.
"Nothing…-" Sonny said embarrassedly. "-I'm going to go work on some homework…" with that Sonny ran to her room.
In her eyes Mrs. Cooper was a nice, friendly, smart person. She didn't know how someone like Chad Dylan Cooper; a jerk, moron, idiot, ect, could have been raised by her. What could have happened? Was he dropped on his head or something?
"Such a jerk!" Sonny mumbled. Looking down at her homework she sighed. She couldn't believe what Chad had done. He embarrassed her! Not that something like this never happened before, it has. But, it wasn't an accident with him.
"Hey, Sonny! How's it goin'?" Chad had walked up to her with a grin on his face. She knew something was coming, but he had nothing. This is what confused her most of all.
"Um. Hey, Chad." She smiled uncertainly.
"Can I sit?" He questioned her, trying to catch her gaze.
"Sure.." quickly plopping down he took out his water bottle he carried in and poured it into a plastic cup. Losing interest, Sonny looking down at her book and put another grape into her mouth. Chad wasn't doing anything. So why should she worry and spend time watching him?
"…..Why are you reading when the greatest actor of our generation is present?" Chad asked- his smirk gone.
"Well, I'm reading because one: I don't care. Two: I like to read." Sonny smiled taking a moment to glance at him.
"Well then. I shall go now.." Chad stood up carefully fixing himself.
"Who says shall anymore?" Sonny questioned while trying not to laugh.
"Chad Dylan Cooper, THAT'S WHO!" Chad smirked, going to turn away and carefully swinging his arm to knock down the water.
"CHAD! WHAT THE HECK? MY BOOK!" Sonny quickly jumped up, trying to wipe the water from her book. It was no use.
"My book's ruined! I WAS AT THE LAST CHAPTER OF THE HUNGER GAMES! DO YOU SEE WHAT YOU DID?" Sonny was angry, furious even. This was "The Hunger Games"! A book that you cannot put down once started. It didn't help that she was at the last chapter after waiting a long five hours for her lunch break to finish.
"It's just a book. You can get a new one... Or SEE THE MOVIE!" Chad smirked.
"I would… But… THE MOVIE DOESN'T COME OUT TILL MARCH!" Sonny screamed.
Chad shrugged. "I'm not working on any movies… So, forget that. You don't need to see it." With that he walked away.
"Five minutes won't hurt…" Quickly turning her computer on she logged into twitter and updated her status.
"SonnySonshine: I find it awkward when I come home to find my rival's mother on my couch… Eh, I'm used to it… I should ask her for a new book, since I'm obviously not getting a new one from Chad."
"CDCSUCKAHS: -SonnyBunnyM Ew, that's where she is? Tell her to get home, CDC's hungry. Oh, and get over it. It's a book -.- ."
"SonnySonshine: -ItBeCDC CDC can't make his own food? He has to rely on his mommy? Aw! And, it's not JUST a book, It's THE HUNGER GAMES."
"CDCSUCKAHS -SonnyBunnyM Ha! No, I'm just too lazy to get up, and our Nanny is sick.. Big deal, too bad nobody cares."
"SonnySonshine: -ItBeCDC AW! CDC NEEDS A NANNY? CAN'T. BREATHE. XD. Well, everyone should. -_-'
"CDCSUCKAHS: Blocked a Random. PEACE OUT SUCKAHS! ;)"
"SonnySonshine: I was blocked. -_- Homework time!"
With that Sonny logged off of her computer and attempted to get her homework done. "Chad… Nanny" Sonny burst out into laughter.
"Sonny! Come here!" Connie yelled from the living room.
"Coming!" Sonny yelled, quickly putting her books away and running to her mother. "Where'd Christina go?" Sonny asked, plopping on the couch next to Connie.
"Home, we're going to her house for dinner."
"I'm sorry, no. I'll make something for myself here." Sonny said, leaning back.
"No, you're coming with me. You don't get to decide. We need to talk to you all tonight anyway."
Sighing, Sonny agreed. She had no choice.
"I have to tell you something…" Connie looked at her daughter, unsure.
"Yeah, sure. Anything. What is it?" Sonny looked at her mother. She knew something was wrong. But she wasn't so sure. She didn't want to assume. But, who knew how bad it could be.
"Your grandpa... My dad. He had a heart attack, Sonny." Connie looked down, trying not to cry. To stay strong for her daughter.
"W-what…"
"He's not doing too well; I'm going to Wisconsin next weekend. I'm not sure what my plans are for you yet." Connie sighed.
"I have to come with you! I just have to." Sonny looked away, almost crying.
"But then, So Random! You'll be gone a while, Sonny."
"How long?" Sonny questioned her mother.
"I'm going for two months. I don't want you here alone for the summer. I'm trying to find other places you could go. I have one idea."
"What's the idea? Can't I go with Tawni.. I bet I can beg her into letting me stay with her and her family. Or Zora!" Sonny begged her mom.
"I'm not telling you my idea yet. But, if I change my mind, you're coming with me. We'll move back to Wisconsin."
"Mom! You can't do that! We finally adjusted. Please."
"I have to think about it.." With that Connie got up from her seat and walked to her room to get ready.
