Chapter 2
Ice Cream
CPOV
Chad watched Sonny as she acted. She was talented. She could remember every line and say it at the specific moment. She showed so much emotion in her face, it was unreal. She'll be great on MacKenzie Falls, Chad found himself thinking. Her infectious laugh filled the studio and Chad couldn't help but smile as he watched her. He wondered if he was the only one who could read her eyes though. She was such a good actor, that no one else seemed to see the sadness she was disguising. Now and then, he eyes would wander and then she would be brought back to reality. At the end of the sketch, she walked back over to Chad. She smiled. Chad looked deep into her eyes as he So read her feelings.
"Chad?" Sonny said, waking him up by waving a hand in front of his face.
"Oh, sorry." Chad apologised and returned the smile.
"So, what did you think?" Sonny asked.
"Not bad, Monroe. Not bad." Chad praised. Sonny broke into a large grin.
"Wow, the king of drama actually liked something form Chuckle City." Sonny said sarcastically.
"As I said, your special." Chad smiled again. He couldn't stop smiling when he was around her. She was contagious. Sonny blushed a deep red and looked away.
"So, you coming back to the Falls for a bit?" Chad asked.
"Sure!" Sonny said enthusiastically.
Five minutes later and they were back at stage 2. Chad high fived the large bouncer at the door and opened it for Sonny.
Sonny looked at her watch. It read 8:30.
"Chad, I should be getting back to my dressing room now. I need some sleep." Sonny said, standing up and heading for the door. Chad followed her out. The bouncer had finished his shift at 8 o'clock, so Chad and Sonny were all alone. Chad was pleased he could act like his normal self around her. He'd only spent the day with her, but he already felt he knew her inside out. Sonny smiled up at him.
"Thanks for today, Chad. I really ha fun." Sonny sounded like she couldn't believe what was coming out of her mouth.
"Yeah, me too!" Chad laughed. He never thought he'd be spending the day with Sonny and actually enjoying it.
"Bye Chad." Sonny smiled.
"Bye Sonny." Chad grinned back.
Sonny began to walk away.
"Sonny, wait!" Chad asked and she turned around. "Are you coming here again tomorrow?" Chad asked. God, he sounded desperate. But Sonny looked thrilled.
"Yeah, I think I will." Sonny smiled and carried on walking.
Chad was pleased. If fact, he could wait! But, for now he couldn't help but feel unhappy. His source of fun and entertainment was leaving now, and he would have to go back to his boring friends and act like the obnoxious Chad Dylan Cooper once more. He couldn't wait for tomorrow, it was all he could think about.
SPOV
Had Chad Dylan Cooper just asked Sonny to go back to the Falls tomorrow to hang out with him again? Oh yeah! Sonny couldn't help her excitement as she skipped down the hall to her dressing room. Too soon though, was that excitement ruined as she walked through the prop room and then into her dressing room and saw Tawni sitting in front of her mirror. Sonny rolled her eyes and walked past. She saw Tawni look at her with a hint of regret, but then saw her shake her head and look back into the mirror. Sonny felt rage surging through her but she said nothing. She went straight to her room and fell onto her bed. She couldn't wait for tomorrow.
She got up bright and early the next morning, ate her breakfast, got changed and walked out into the prop room. Grady, Nico and Tawni were all whispering to each other but stopped as Sonny came in. They gave her angry glances. Sonny narrowed her eyes at them and walked out the door. She already felt a spring in her step as she walked to the MacKenzie Falls studio.
Sonny heard, "Ready? Camera! Action!" from inside the studio.
Sonny smiled at the bouncer and he let her in, as he recognised her. As she walked curiously into the studio, she saw Chad and Portlyn being filmed. Sonny sat down a chair and watched curiously. Chad was quite good actually. She'd never sat and watched MacKenzie Falls, as it was way to confusing, but she thought Chad was a good actor. After about five more minutes, they stopped filming and took a break. Sonny looked around the studio. They had a lot of stuff. Cameras were everywhere and the latest technology was in every corner.
"Sonny!" She heard a recognisable voice.
She turned around to see Chad waving at her from the set he was still standing in. She walked over to him.
"Hi" He said smiling.
"Wow, you were really good!" Sonny praised. Chad shrugged.
"I know." He laughed. Sonny raised her eyebrows at him and he grinned.
"I didn't know you were filming his morning." Sonny said, running the tips of her fingers across the fake balcony wall.
"I didn't know you were gonna be here so early." Chad replied simply.
"They were whispering about me." Sonny said. Her brows furrowed in annoyance.
"Don't worry about it. People talk about me all the time. It gets easier." Chad smiled reassuringly.
"I hope your right." Sonny sighed. "So, what are we doing today?" Sonny asked, purking up a bit.
"Well, I skipped breakfast, do you want to go out to get some ice-cream?" Chad asked casually.
"Okay." Sonny grinned. She knew this didn't count, but she couldn't help feeling that he had just asked her out. No. She told herself. Stop imagining. It's only ice cream.
Chad waved bye to his cast mates. They waved back but Portlyn called him over.
"Wait here, I'll be right back." Chad said and walked over to Portlyn. Sonny saw Portlyn raise her eyebrows and smile cheekily. Sonny felt a pang of jealousy but ignored it. She saw Portlyn smile and mouth 'whatever', wave and walked off. Chad stood there for a second then turned around to Sonny.
"You ready?" He asked chancing the subject.
"Yeah." She replied.
They decided to walk to the ice cream parlour, which was only a few minutes away. They chatted and laughed all the way. Chad had asked Sonny how she got a spot at So Random and she explained about her audition and they called her up the next day to tell her she had got the job. Sonny talked happily about the sketches they were doing at the moment and her favourite ones. Chad listened, enjoying himself. He'd never admit it, but it was nice to hear about someone else beside himself for a change. It was interesting to listen about Sonny's life before acting too. She had always liked acting, and one day she decided to try it out.
Sonny kept sneaking little glances at Chad but regretted it every time because he was staring at her while she was talking. She could feel herself blushing. She talked about her family and friends and Chad listened intently.
"Do you miss your old friends?" Chad asked her when she paused to think about her old life. She nodded sadly.
Sonny couldn't believe it when Chad put his arm around her shoulders. She wanted to ask him what the heck he was doing, but she seemed to relax under his touch. She grew more comfortable as they walked, now just chatting generally. Eventually, they arrived at the ice cream parlour and Chad removed his arm. Sonny suddenly felt cold without it there.
They ordered their ice creams and went to sit outside on the step in the warm, sonny weather. Chad had just ordered plain vanilla ice cream but Sonny didn't. She got vanilla and chocolate ice cream with as many sprinkles as she could fit on. Chad stared at her incredulously.
Sonny scooped some ice cream onto her finger and put it in her mouth.
"What?" She asked as Chad stared at her.
He shook his head. "You'll never cease to amaze me Monroe." He laughed, taking a bit out of his.
Sonny grinned. "I like sprinkles." Sonny stated simply.
"I gathered!" Chad laughed. They ate their ice creams in silence for a while when Chad suddenly burst out laughing.
"What's so funny?" Sonny asked.
"You've got ice cream on your nose!" Chad grinned.
"Where?" Sonny asked rubbing her nose.
"Right…" Chad dipped his finger in his ice cream and dabbed a blob on Sonny's nose. "There!" Chad laughed.
"Hey!" Sonny laughed and smeared some on Chad's cheek. They couldn't stop laughing for a good ten minutes. Finally, they stood up and started to walk back to the Condor Studio's. A few people stared at them as they walked home. Sonny was thinking that they were probably wondering why stars of two rival teen shows were hanging out together. She didn't totally understand either. But in the time she had spent with Chad, she had seen the real him. Not a self-absorbent, arrogant snob like she thought, but he was kind and quite funny actually.
Oh no. This is not happening. Sonny stopped her thoughts. There's no way that I, Sonny Monroe, am falling for Chad Dylan Cooper. Or was there?
As Sonny looked up into his impossibly blue eyes, she decided yes. Yes she was falling for Chad, and she was falling hard.
