Chapter two – So Far So Great
SONNY'S POV
I was finally in Hollywood. Today was my first day on So Random. I was excited but very nervous. Mum came and woke me at seven and ever since then I've been bouncing around the house, waiting for her to be ready to leave. I couldn't wait to get to the studio.
'Okay, okay,' Mom rolled her eyes as I asked her for the tenth time how long it was until we were leaving. 'I'm ready, let's go.'
I walked into the So Random set with wide eyes. Mom was following me, and I knew although she tried to hide it, that she was just as excited as me.
'Sonny?'
I spun around when I heard my name being called.
A man was waving at me. Mom and I quickly walked over to him. 'You must be Sonny Monroe,' he smiled kindly at me. 'I'm the director, Marshall Pike. It's very nice to meet you. We're so excited to welcome you to the cast.'
'Thank you Mr Pike,' I replied, liking him already. 'I'm really happy to be here.'
'It's Marshall,' he told me firmly, his gaze falling on my mother. 'You must be Mrs Monroe!'
They shook hands.
'That would be me,' she agreed. 'You take care of my girl, okay?'
She was eyeing Marshall sternly.
'Mom,' I groaned, rolling my eyes.
'Of course I will,' Marshall assured her. 'Sonny is in good hands.'
'Bye Mom,' I said pointedly.
She sighed. 'Alright, alright … I'm going,' she kissed my cheek and pulled me into a hug. 'You have fun, okay? I'm so proud of you.'
'Thanks Mom,' I said smiling as she released me. 'I'll see you tonight, okay?'
She left, finally. Marshall turned to me and smiled. 'So … would you like to meet the cast?'
'And this … is the prop house,' Marshall said, as we walked in.
'This place is so cool!' I said happily.
There was a girl sitting on the couch. I gasped when I recognized her.
'Oh my gosh!' I said. 'That's Tawni!'
Tawni glanced at me. 'What are you?'
I threw my arms around her tightly. She squirmed in my grip.
'Why's it hugging me?' Tawni screeched, looking disgusted.
I let go of her. 'Hi, I'm Sonny!' I said brightly. 'And you're Tawni Hart! You're seriously my role model!'
Tawni rolled her eyes. 'What are you doing here?'
'She's our new cast member,' Marshall put in. 'To replace Mandy.'
'What?' Tawni exclaimed furiously.
Marshall gulped. 'I told you she'd be coming. Don't you remember, Tawni?'
'No!'
'Well … this is Sonny,' Marshall smiled nervously. 'Show her around would you?'
He departed quickly, mouthing 'good luck' at me before he left.
'Fine,' Tawni said with a huff, standing up. 'Come on, Sarah.'
'This is the cafeteria …' Tawni said as we walked in.
'Oh, wow!' I said, spotting two boys next to the yogurt machine. 'That's Nico and Grady!'
'Guys!' Tawni called over at them. 'Come and meet…' she glanced at me, frowning. 'What's your name again?'
'Sonny,' I told her.
'Somany!' she said.
I rolled my eyes. The boys looked up immediately and walked over.
'Hi Tawni!' Nico said, but his eyes were on me. 'Who's your friend?'
'She's not my friend,' Tawni snapped.
I smiled at Nico, trying to ignore Tawni. 'Hi, I'm Sonny,' I introduced myself to them, hoping they'd be able to remember my name.
'Oh yeah,' Grady said in realization. 'You're that funny girl off the internet that's replacing Mandy, right?'
'Yeah,' I said, smiling.
At least they seemed friendly.
'And that concludes our tour,' Tawni said, sounding bored. 'Bye!'
But I wasn't listening. My eyes had fallen on a poster for Mackenzie Falls. I turned to Tawni, who was leaving and held a hand out to stop her.
'Wait! Mackenzie Falls shoot here?'
She turned around and frowned at me. 'Yeah, why?'
I stared at the poster with wide eyes. 'Oh my gosh…' I murmured to myself.
I shook off Tawni, Nico and Grady by telling them I had to go to the bathroom but I really just needed some time to think. I couldn't believe it. Chad's show was filmed in the same studio as So Random. It was like… fate. I small smile spread across my face. I missed him so much. Would I actually get to see him? What if he'd forgotten about me?
I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't realize that I'd walked right into someone.
'Sorry,' I mumbled, meeting their eyes.
I froze. 'Chad?' I said in disbelief.
I watched as his blue eyes widened in shock. He seemed unable to speak.
'Chad!' I said his name again, a smile spreading across my face.
Chad's eyes were huge with astonishment and disbelief. 'Sonny?'
We threw our arms around each other and he picked me up and spun me around. He put me down and hugged me tightly. I hugged him back, hardly able to believe this wasn't a dream.
We were both laughing and gripping each other tightly, neither willing to let the other go.
'It's really you, Sonshine,' Chad murmured, letting go of me so he could look at my face.
I giggled at his old nickname for me. I'd missed him calling me that. I had tears in my eyes. My best friend was here, in front of me for the first time in two years.
'Oh god, I've missed you Chaddy,' I said tearfully.
'Oh Sonny,' he rubbed my back soothingly. 'What are you doing here? I didn't mean to lose contact with you, Sonny, I didn't, I swear. I can't believe this! I can't believe it's you!'
'I can't believe it's you! I had no idea Mackenzie Falls shot here!' I exclaimed. 'This is … perfect.'
Chad's eyes left mine for the first time and fell on something behind me. 'Not quite perfect,' he mumbled.
'Huh?' I asked confused, following his eyesight.
He was staring tensely at the new So Random poster on the wall.
I looked back at him, still confused. 'Chad … what's wrong?'
'You're … a random?'
:O Chad's obviously not happy that Sonny's on So Random! Also, I hope you don't mind me bringing Chad into the story so early. I just wanted to get to it :P And I go back to school tomorrow after a three week holiday so I'm a bit depressed about that so cheer me up and please let me know what you thought of this chapter. You guys are awesome :)
