::Chapter Two::

Chad's POV :

"Dude, you know you can't do this" Alex has told me that for the third time in the past 30 minutes. I sighed and walked to the fridge, grabbing two Coke, and a pack of M&M, I walked back to the table where Alex and Jay were sitting.

"I mean she is a bit cute, but she's with that loser gang. What will happen to our reputation man? I mean is she worth the risk?" after taking a sip, Alex continues, "I don't think you should go for Sonny"

A bit cute? She's a lot more than that. That big brown eyes and stunning smile. Why does she has to be one of them? Great, now they will never let her talk to me. Especially Tawni and Zora. Grady is easy to manipulate, just hand him a couple of doughnuts and he's in. Nico, oh well, I can use Penelope as a bait. The core problem here is Tawni and Zora. How am I gonna convince that two evil witch?

"You listening?" Alex questions, with his right brow slightly upwards.

Obviously I wasn't.

Sighing I reply, "Alex, we will talk about this later." I really don't wanna talk about Sonny with Alex. He is jerkier than me, if that's even possible. Alex really hates Tawni, and no one knows why. I believe there's a past there.

Alex nods while Jay gives me a weird look, and says "You will get hotter babes."

I know that. I mean, I'm Chad Dylan Cooper. Correction, The Chad Dylan Cooper. I can get anything I want, anyone I want. Anyone as in girls. However this is different. I will never ever get Sonny, probably because she hate me already. Alex and Jay are giving me weird look while here I am, mind drifting away thinking about a girl I can never have. Oh snap out of it Chad! You gotta hate her! Don't be girly! Be a man!

"Hey Chad, you okay?" Jay is giving me the are-you-on-drug look, questioning about my silence.

"Yeah. I'm great" I said in a 'pfft' tone.

"You sure? You've been staring that M&M for minutes, instead of eating it." Alex laughed at Jay's words.

Yep, I'm not me. Thanks Sonny! (note the sarcasm)

Sonny's Pov :

I've been trying to work on this Chemistry homework for hours now. I bet Tawni is asking Zora to help her with it. Zora has the highest IQ among us, although she's just 12. She is kinda like the new generation Einstein. The high IQ often helps her with her robotic obsession. She admires Japanese work. She even told us she want to settle down at Japan in the future. No wonder she started eating sushi.

My eyelids are screaming to let them close, and that's when I looked at the clock, realizing its 15 past 11. I sighed, closing the book and shifted myself into my comfy bed. Laying on my bed, now I'm staring at my ceiling, I can't sleep. Ugh! Make up your mind eyelids! Wait, eyelids got mind? Now I'm losing my mind!

I got up, sitting on my bed Indian style, I took out my Iphone and texted Nico.

Sonny : You awake?

Nico : I'm sleeping.

Sonny : How come you texted? :/

Nico : Don't let me sneak into your room and chew your skin off!

Sonny : Gee, one simple question and now I'm a chew toy.

Nico : Zzz.

Sonny : Wake up!

Nico : You really wanna be my chew toy?

Sonny : Nights 'Grumpy Cat'.

No reply. Sighing, I had no choice than forcing myself to sleep. I didn't want to become anyone's chew toy.

*The next morning*

After getting ready, now I'm dressed in black polka dot dress reaching just above knee, purple cardigan and a black high heels. I walked my way to the bus station as usual. I can see a very happy Grady and a… not so happy Nico?

"Hey guys."

Grady did a little wave while Nico started a stare contest.

"Nico?" I'm worried.

Still staring.

"Stomach upset?"

Still staring.

"You upset?"

"You bet I'm upset!" Nico almost shouted. "You ruined my beautiful dream Sonny!"

I tilted my head back a little and smiled widely, "Oh! Penelope?"

Stare.

"Cut it out Nico, your stare is worse than watching two cockroaches make love under my bed."

Grady's eye widened. "They do?"

"Ugh! Can't I make a little sarcasm here without people start making up stories?"

Thank god the bus arrived, I could have gone nuts if that conversation went on any longer. We reached school a bit early. Nico and Grady walk pass me, rushing somewhere. I ignored while walking my way to my locker. Not many students were there. I guess they liked walking in 'like a boss' after the school bell rings. I reached my locker and opened it, slamming few stuff in it. As I close shut the locker, I turned and found Chad standing right in front me, smirking.

"Hey"

Walking past him, I was annoyed to see him this early "What do you want?"

He followed, now walking beside me, he said, "Can't I be nice?"

"Just be you." I rolled my eyes saying it. Chad is anything but nice. Or that's what I heard.

He laughed a bit, and continues, "What if I'm changing?"

I stopped walking, analyzing his top to bottom, and replies "You look human. So tell me Mr Cooper, what are you changing as?" I made it sound so serious that he chuckled a bit realizing the sarcasm in it.

"You're funny… and cute."

Oh my god, don't blush Sonny! Don't blu-

"Are you blushing?!"

Ah great, my body is not listening to my mind. Stupid hormone reaction!

"I'm not!" I defended myself with a lie, which totally doesn't made sense because I totally blushed. I quickly changed the topic to divert him. "Look Chad, we shouldn't be talking. My friends won't approve this."

Chad's eye widened, which makes it easier to see his light blue yes. One thing I can never resist in him is his eyes. They always makes me speechless. Okay, I know this sounds cliché, but hey I'm a teenage girl who grows up watching Twilight saga and learning Romeo and Juliet in school, what do you expect?

"And you think my friends approve me talking with you?" Chad's question hurts me a bit, although I don't know why. I really don't care about Chad and his gang. Or do I?

"Then why are you talking to me Chad?" I questioned him, we are still standing in the middle of the hallway, talking. You know in the romance movie's where the guy and the girl talks, and the world around them stops moving, so its just them two? Yep, I'm finally experiencing it too.

Chad smiles. I just stand there, trying to figure out the meaning of his smile. I waited few seconds, but Chad is still standing there, smiling like an idiot. What's wrong with this guy?

As I felt uncomfortable, I decided to break the silence, "Chad?"

"Sonny…"

His voice is husky and slow, and it was so sexy. Chad leans in, and we were merely inches away. Gazing at each other's eyes.

"Chad…"

"Sonny…"

"CHAD AND SONNY!"

Shocked, both of us moves away from our closure-ness, turning our head to the yell. I was terrified to see Tawni, Nico and Grady.

Holy shit, I'm in trouble.

"Oh..h-hey guys." I stuttered my words a bit.

Tawni moves forward , grabbing my wrist, and looks at Chad, "What did I tell you the other day? STAY AWAY!"

Chad didn't seem to focus on Tawni as he is still gazing into my eyes.

"Ugh! This is so disgusting! He got this love sick look in his eyes! Over Sonny!" Tawni is complaining to Nico and Grady. As we all walked away, I couldn't help myself but turning my head behind, peeking to see him. To my surprise Chad is still standing there, staring. He seems a little frustrated Tawni interrupted our little gaze just now, but he hasn't moved yet. Is it true Chad really is changing from his jerky side to a nice gentleman?

Sitting at the cafeteria table, trying to eat my burger, I tried avoiding any eye contact with Chad. I shouldn't betray my friends. Tawni is gone to get food, while Nico is sitting beside me. Grady is missing, as he went to the toilet. Poor guy had stomach upset.

Its so ironic that Chad and the gang's table are right beside ours. This is certainly not making it any easier for me. Or Nico.

"She got prettier by the year."

I looked up to Nico, noticing the same look Chad had when he was looking at me. I glanced over to look at Penelope. She don't seem to care about Nico, as she is laughing out loud, gossiping with her friends. She looks happy, unlike Nico. I freaked out a little as I came eye-to-eye with Chad, and quickly turning my head to Nico, I tried to distract myself.

"Why did you stop crushing on her?"

Nico stopped staring at Penelope, and focused on me. "I didn't."

"You didn't?"

"Nope. I just stopped trying." He sighed as he finished his sentence.

I was a little confused and I asked him more. "Why did you stop trying? She got someone else?"

Nico is annoyed by me, that's pretty obvious, because I'm distracting him from staring Penelope.

"Don't you get it Sonny? As long as this two group are feuding and hating each other, there are no way anyone of us can date them." I nodded while Nico continues, "That's why I stopped trying. But I couldn't move on completely."

I felt sorry for Nico. I sighed and tried to finish up my burger.

"Sonny?" Nico called.

"Yeah?"

"I can feel you." I blinked for a while at Nico's phrase, till he continued "I know you feel the same way towards Chad."

Our little talk was interrupted by Grady. He sat in front Nico, holding his tummy, and making a sour face. Poor guy went to toilet for the 15th times.

"Dude, I'm never eating Indian Food right after eating Pizza."

I almost laughed. Grady sure got some issues with food. Nico didn't hesitate to laugh. Hearing Nico laugh, I bursted out too.

"Wear diapers next time Grady!" Alex yells out loud that the whole cafeteria could hear the voice. Everyone laughed out loud, and Grady's face turned as red as a tomato. I felt furious with Alex, and just about when I wanted to stand up for Grady, something shocked the living thing out of me.

"Shut up everyone!"

Nico and Grady is as stunned as I am. It was Chad.

"Making fun of someone else won't make you cool Alex! As if you never had stomach upset before!" The whole cafeteria is as silent as a grave. My eyeballs are popping out. Did Chad just stood up for Grady, over Alex? Now Alex's face is red. Chad storms out of the cafeteria, and we all felt his anger. I looked at Grady and Nico.

"Somebody pinch me." Nico breaked the silence.

I did as he said. He screamed a bit, "Not literally!"

I awkwardly flashed a smile at him. Everyone is back to normal now. Somehow I wanted to chase after Chad to see if he's okay. Just when I stood up, Tawni appeared.

"Whoa! Did you see that?"

Nico answers instead me, "Yeah, Chad is acting weird all of a sudden."

Tawni's looks at Nico weirdly, "No silly, I meant did you see the skirt Angela was wearing, so out of season!"

We groaned. Seriously Tawni?
