Chapter Two
I was sitting at my lunch table talking to Nico, Grady, Zora, and Tawni. We were tying got discuss a new sketch and write down the props we needed for it. "Okay, maybe we can use that big fan from the prop house and make it look like there was a big wind storm in the sketch. Oh! Probably the blank miniature sized billboard too!" Nico kept going on and on about the sketch, but I couldn't help but listen to Chad's table. I didn't know why but I wanted to see what they were talking about.
"Hey, Sonny…"Grady interrupted me ease dropping on the Falls table. "Huh?" "Can you pass the salt. My fries taste like cardboard." I looked at his fries and noticed something. "Grady! Maybe because they are cardboard!" Grady looked down and we all started laughing. "That explains a lot, but pass the salt anyway. I heard it can help reduce hunger." I passed him the salt and he pored a little in his palm and licked it. "Eww! Grady just find some REAL food to eat." Tawnni was covering her eyes with her hands so she wouldn't have to look at Grady's tong on his hand. "Sorry, Tawni."
Nico, Zora and me even started laughing harder for no apparent reason. "Okay guys in think I'm going to my dressing room." Nico looked up. "Why would you do that when were all having so much fun." I looked back at him "Well I need to practice the sketch, sleep, sleep, practice the sketch again and then go home." "Ha, okay. Just don't hurt yourself." Grady told me that and then I left.
When I got to the dressing room I got cold so I went into my closet and got a robe. I walked back out and got my script and sat down on the couch. I started laughing at some parts that Zora and Grady did for their sketch. "What's so funny Munroe?" I looked back and it was Chad. "Chad, how did you know I was here?" he walked into the dressing room and leaned against the couch. "Well you announced it pretty loud in the cafeteria." He smiled. "Okay, but why did you come here?" "I got bored with my cast and decided to come here to talk to you."
"Well if were going to talk then can we talk later I need to go over my script?" He looked at me like he were talking to himself. "How about tonight at Ketchup?" When he said Ketchup it hit me. "Wait, Chad. Don't you want to spend your night with your girlfriend. Like come on? I don't want her to think anything is going on." "Trust me she wont, were going just as friends." I thought about it and gave up. "Okay, fine. What time?" "I'm not going to tell you the time, I'm just going to come over when I want to." I sighed. "Okay, bye." he left and stopped at the door. "Bye" he grinned and left. Oh, great. Now I have to get ready as soon as I get home. I hated surprises. I get to inpatient.
(Later)
As soon as I cot home, I got ready to go out. I took a quick shower and curled my hair a little. I wore a skinny jeans, a tan buffed out shirt that was kind of see through (that had a white tank-top under it) with a nice beige colored thin sweatshirt on, that didn't really keep me warm, and black heeled boots that stopped at the ankle. I had my hair scrunched with my bangs straightened and a black bow in my hair to complement my shoes. I didn't want to look to dressed up so, I went with "going to a party yet I am casual" look. As I was putting on my watermelon lip-gloss I heard my phone vibrate. I looked at the clock and saw what time it was. "Is it really 6:57?" I asked myself the question. Wow, it took my 3 hours to get ready? I looked at the phone and it was from Chad.
From: Chad
Time: 6:56
Hey, Sonny I'm coming in about 16 min., but I have to bring Harley.
I took my hone and hit reply to text him:
To: Chad
Time: 6:59
It's cool, and who's Harley?
Chad took a while to text back probably looking at himself in the mirror again, so in that time I took my phone to call Nico.
Sonny: He Nico, how's it going?
Nico: It's going good. How about you?
Sonny: Nothing I'm going out to eat dinner with Chad and Harley? Do you guys want, too? We can maybe bring Tawni and Grady, too.
Nico: Yeah, but why are you going out with Chad?
Sonny: Were just hanging out being friends.
Nico: Oh, and who's Harley?
Sonny: I'm not really sure. All I know is that she is coming.
Nico: She might be Chad's new lady they were talking about on TMZ the other day, and sure I'll come. I'll go and ask Tawni and Grady, hold on.
Sonny: Okay.
(I waited for about a good two minutes.)
Nico: They said sure, but were are we going?
Sonny: Were going to that one place called Ketchup.
Nico: Oh, cool. I'll tell them. (I could her Nico's vice telling them were we are going, and I heard Tawni scream "Oh my gosh, really! Anybody who is anybody eats there. Tell her that we will be there in 5!") Uhhh, okay. Sonny I guess you heard Tawni so will be there in about five minutes.
Sonny: This is going to be great! So hurry up!
Nico: Okay, let us get ready first.
Sonny: Alright see you in a while. Bye, Nico.
Nico: Bye, Sonny.
I sat there for about six minutes and then I heard the doorbell ring. "Hey, Sonny!" Tawni screamed at me and gave me a hug. "Um, hey Tawni." it was abnormal for Tawni to give me hugs. She only hugs me when I am making her image better. "Ha ha! I cant believe me Tawni Heart is going to Ketchup! This is going to help my image so much!"
As we were waiting for Chad, I remembered that I forgot to tell them they were coming to. I looked at the clock and it said 7:18. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket and took it out to see that it was Chad. Harley probably came over, and maybe they started making out without notice that we are all her starving. Well actually only me right now, but then it will be all of them. I thought to myself.
From: Chad
Time: 7:18
She's my girlfriend.
I pressed the reply button and started to type:
To: Chad
Time: 7:20
Oh, Chad's finally got a lady! Well, Tawni, Nico, and Grady are coming to. Hope you don't mind because you get to bring someone special to you with us. So why not bring people who are special to me with us to dinner?
From: Chad
Time: 7:21
Fine! Only because Harley is coming and I don't want you to feel awkward. And I didn't invite her she found out about it and she suggested she come because she was scared that something might happen between us during the date.
To: Chad
Time: 7:22
FINE! And just so you know nothing would ever go between us, and it wasn't a date remember. Just two friends hanging out.
From: Chad
Time: 7:24
FINE! And I didn't mean to say date I just forgot.
To: Chad
Time:7:25
Okay, what ever you say Copper.
From: Chad
Time: 7:26
Good! Were here so go come down stairs. It the big black long limo in front.
Why the heck did he have to bring a limo when before it was only going to be me and him? Never mind, stop talking to yourself, too! We all walked down the stairs from my apartment and got in the limo. Chad had his arm around Harley's shoulder with them sitting next to the door. We all sat down in the limo in the line of Nico, Me, Tawni, and Grady.
We were all having our little conversations in our seats with me and Nico talking about what movies we like to watch. "I hate horror films, every time I watch them, when I go to sleep I have a dram that I am the main character of the movie. With me getting chased from a psycho killer." I confessed to Nico. "No way! On day I was watching Texas Chain Saw Massacre and I had a dream that I was in hostage with that crazy guy with that robot leg!" "Nooo! Really? I can never watch any more Jeepers Creepers movies. That night I had a dream that I was the person he wanted to kill or eat, or something like that. And I was terrified the next morning and almost started to cry on how scared I was."
As I said the movie I remembered me and Chad watching it. I shrugged that memory off my shoulder and started talking with Nico again. "Okay, so Nico. Tell me? Who was your kindergarten crush?" he smiled a little and didn't answer. " Your smiling! Tell us! Come on, Nico!?" Tawni was so interested in the question. "Fine! It was a girl named Clair Romanesque."
Tawni and me started cracking up. "Romanesque? Really? What kind of last name crush was that?" "Come on guys lay off, mine was a girl named Molly Footling." Then me and Tawni started laughing even harder. "Grady please, your killing us! Hahahahah!" After we were done laughing Tawni came up to my ear and whispered something to me. "Chad hasn't stopped staring at you since we got in here. He was talking to his girlfriend and he was still looking at you." I kind of blushed and looked at him, he was staring at his girl friend and then he gave a quick glance at me. I turned away and started talking to Grady. "He can you turn the music up?!" Nico yelled and but the window that separated us with the limo driver. The music came on and Nico found the remote for the volume and "Just dance" by Lady Gaga came on. We all started going crazy signing the song to the top of our lungs and started making hand movements while we were signing. Me and Grady were going the vogue dance making our hands look like picture frames. We were almost there and I asked Nico to turn it down. We all started to talking again. Then Chad called my name.
"Yeah?" I asked all perky because of hoe hyper I was. " Can you contain yourself. Your acting all crazy?" "Well maybe your not having enough fun, come on Chad it's a good night, don't ruin it with your thinking." his jaw dropped. "Chad Dylan Copper thinks of smart thing. Everything that comes out of my mouth is smart.' I laughed "Ha sure, what ever you say Chad."
"FINE!"
"FINE!""GOOD!""GOOD!"
"So are we good?" he asked "Oh we are so good." I added as we walked out of the limo.
We walked over to the restaurant doors and let the waitress take us to the table. As we sat down on our seats I looked around to get a better look at the restaurant. Why would they name a place after a type of sauce you can put on a hotdog? It just make things in life harder, gosh.
"Hey, Sonny? Can you pass me the menu?" I looked at him and blinked. "Uhh, Chad, the menu is right there, you can reach it perfectly." He glared at me "Sonny really? If it becomes your fault that I broke my arm trying to reach over for my menu then your going to have it on you mind for a long time." "Chad, why would I ever have you in my mind?" I began to give him the squinty eye thing when you try to show someone that they are getting on your nerves. "Who wouldn't, like come one, look at me?" I stared at him from his feet to his face. "Your right I am looking and all I see is a conceded jerk!" he smirked "Really, Sonny. Really?" I was getting furious at him and I threw that menu at him. "Hey! No one throws a menu at Chad Dylan Copper!" "Opps, 'cause I just did." Harley began looking at me like she wanted to harm me or some crap like that. He looked agitated and just started talking to Harley.
Chad's P.O.V
She threw a menu at me! I cant believe this! No one has ever had the guts to throw something at Chad Dylan Copper. I was agitated with her so I just started to talk with Harley. "Did she really just throw a menu at you!?" "Yeah, but forget about it." her face turned red. "Forget about it!?…" she started to yell whisper at me. "I'm going to have a talk with her later. Just watch me." I rolled my eyes secretly so she wouldn't see it. "Harley, please just forget it its nothing." She turned around and ignored me! Really? What is wrong with this world these days!
The waitress came just in time when I was about to explode on Harley. "What can I get you guys to drink." she asked in a happy voice. "I'll have a Cherry Coke." I told her in the Chad Dylan Copper way.
"I'll have the same." Sonny said smiling at the waitress. She looked at me and I put my wide grin on my face. Then she smiled back. When she smiled at me I felt all warm and bubbly inside. I think Harley noticed and she nudge me. What the crap? I was having a moment with her! I was thinking to myself again.
"I'll just have a plain Coke." Harley said
"Sprit" Brady (or is it Grady) said.
"Water" Tawni said.
"Diet Coke" Rico said.
"Okay, and to eat?" "Ravioli" me and Sonny said a the same time. We both blushed and Harley noticed and pulled me out of the my seat to a corner. "What is going on!?" I whispered to her.
"Like you don't know? You guys keep flirting." she looked at me with irritation in face. "Okay! What are you talking about?" she paced back and forth "I saw you guys making googally eyes at each other!" "Can we just got eat!?" "Fine." She walked off and I followed. I sat at my seat and I got a text. From Sonny?
From: Sonny
To: Chad
Are you okay? She looked angry.
To: Sonny
From: Chad
I'm okay, but she was getting all paranoid about us ordering the same things. She thinks that I'm going leaver her or something like that.
From: Sonny
To: Chad
Oh, well I hope you guys can get over it. You look really agitated. I was getting kind of worried that you were going to leave or either storm off or something.
To: Sonny
From: Chad
Really? She told me she doesn't like you when she came over to my house today fefore we got all of you guys.
From: Sonny
To: Chad
Uh, Chad I hate to say this but she is staring at our messages right now.
I looked up and Sonny's eyes were making me look at what Harley was doing. I looked at the corner of my eyes and saw her leaning over to look at his phone. After I saw that I took my phone and put it on the opposite side of were she was sitting.
To: Sonny
From: Chad
How did she know I was texting you?
From: Sonny
To: Chad
I saw her leaning over and she started to stare at me with that killer glance of hers.
To: Sonny
From: Chad
Okay, um. I guess I'll just have to talk to you in person so don't hate me for what I am about to do.
Sonny looked at the message with her face confused. I "accidentally" tipped over blonde's water on Sonny. "CHAD!" I looked at her with pretend sympathy. "Oh my gosh, Sonny! A am so sorry! Here I'll help you." "no let me help you. She took the rest of the water and (lucky I was wearing black skinny jeans) and pored it on my pants. "Oh! I am so sorry, Chad I didn't mean to!" I stood up off my chair and pulled Sonny along with my by her hand. "Well be right back" I said as soon as we reached the family bathroom to get ourselves dry we started laughing nonstop.
When we stopped I grabbed some paper towels and handed a couple to her. "Thanks" she said with a smile still on her face. "No, thank you. I couldn't stand another minute with her looking at my personal space. Oh, and thanks for playing along." 'Ha, no problem.".
"I don't get it. I thought she was all cool with me hanging around other girls but I guess not. She found out about the day you came over to watch movies with me, and she went ballistic!" she blushed for some reason, maybe she was thinking of the moment when me and her were cuddling. "Uh, Chad this may be kind of wired, but thanks for keeping me warm at when I cam over. I was really cold and I felt like hypothermia was about to hit me.
"Your welcome" I had a smile on her face and she smiled back. I loved it when I made her smile. I made her happy and that's what makes me happy. I didn't noticed that we were getting closer to each other until I could feel her breathing on my face. I liked how she smelt. She smelt like strawberries, with a hint of vanilla.
"You smell good." Did I just say that out loud!? "So do you." She smiled at me and then I smiled at her. We were inches away until we heard someone knock at the door. "Chad, are you almost done the foods here?" It was Harley. "Why does she have to ruin everything." I whispered. 'I don't know but I kind of liked what was going on. She kissed my on the cheek and I blushed, then I noticed that she blushed to. I kissed her on the cheek back, seeing that her whole face went pink. "Uh, we should go now." I said. "Oh, uh. Yeah."
We walked out and Harley was waiting out side. Harley grabbed my hand and started to walk. I looked behind me and I could see Sonny staring at me while she was walking behind. I sat down and took out my phone. And started pressing buttons.
To: Sonny
From: Chad
Do you want to go get some ice cream later? I mean just you and me.
I looked at her as she saw the text and she smiled.
From: Sonny
To: Chad
Yeah. (: But weren't we suppose to go watch a movie after this?
To: Sonny
From: Chad
Yah, but there is an ice cream parlor down the street, so we can sneak off and after were done with them we can go back to the movie.
