Thank you Reviewers!!!!!!! I was so happy when I saw the reviews I got for this chapter. YAY!!!!! And for all of you who decided to click on this link and not leave a review- #()#$#(% YOU LITTLE $%)^($^ I HOPE YOU %I$# IN $)(^(#$^%( YOU #(U%($U%ing #(%$&$#. Now, onto the story.

Sunday morning, I woke up and finished packing my bags. I found my hands moving mechanically, and I knew that I would have to work faster before I lost my nerve to leave.

I grabbed my suitcase and was halfway out the door when I nearly ran into Chad. I stopped, my mind gone blank. He didn't speak, but his eyes stayed focused on my suitcases.

"You're really leaving, huh?" he asked, still not meeting my eyes.

I nodded. I waited for him to say something else, but he just stood there. "You know," I started, "I'm really going to miss this place. I think I'll even miss you, Chad."

He smiled. "Isn't there something you want to say to me?" I asked, prompting for him to tell me that he would miss me too.

"Yeah, you should probably hurry before that diva takes off without you," he said, still not meeting my eyes.

I wanted to punch him. Instead, I kept my head held high as I left him for good.

The flight to Florida was long and unbearable. Besides boredom taking over, I couldn't stop thinking about So Random. More importantly, I couldn't stop thinking that I made a huge mistake by leaving.

Lexi sat in the seat next to me, listening to some music on her ipod. On my other side, some old man continued to stick some sort of pills down his throat, gagging as each one went down. I slid down in my seat, hoping to fall asleep and wake to the flight being over.

Lexi nudged me with her elbow. She had me her headphones and told me to put them in my ear. I obliged, asking her why. "Just tell me if you like it," she said.

The song started out slow and began to pick up into a fast paced melody. The words started out as a whisper so low that I could only make out a few words and decipher that it must be a guy singing. As the pace picked up, so did the words. The voice was pretty low and husky, but still had a softness to it that worked perfectly with the beat of the song. AS the beat picked up to start the chorus, the male voice was echanged for a female one. It wasn't high-pitched like most female singers, but it wasn't deep like Cher's. It was more in the middle, just right.

I plucked the headphones from my ears and handed them to her. "It's good," I mumbled, unsure of what else to say.

"Thanks," Lexi said. "I'm not amazing, but singing runs in the family."

"You were singing?" I asked, thinking back to the beautiful female voice. Was there anything Lexi couldn't do?

"Mmhm," Lexi replied, putting the headphones back into her ears. "My uncle said that he could get me a record deal, but I refused. Singing doesn't mean as much to me as acting does."

I nodded. As much as I loved music, the most singing I ever did was in the shower. Still, I knew that singing still had a freeing feeling, and many people wouldn't want to do anything else with their lives.

Lexi continued to rock back and forth to her music, occasionally taking a glance in my direction. Lexi seemed like a pretty cool and down to earth person, but I knew that she wouldn't be anything like Niko, or Grady, or Zora, or even Tawni for that matter. Things would definately be different. But as I had learned many times before, I'd just have to adapt.

When the plane landed, I found butterflies fluttering around in my stomach. Lexi smiled, going on about how her uncle would be picking us up and about how much she was sure I would love him because he was such a fun guy. I nodded at the appropriate moments, wondering more about whether or not he would like me.

Our bags were being shipped straight to her uncle's house, so Lexi told us that we didn't need to bother fighting with the people in baggage claim. Instead, we walked over to the food court and bought some smoothies. I hardly tasted mine as I thought about what Lexi's uncle would be like. I pictured a man with her short genes, and a round face. He would probably be in his forties with a semi-balding head.

"There he is," Lexi said, pointed to a man approaching us. He definately didn't fit my description. The man approaching us was tall and lean with a full head of thick brown hair. He was clean-shaven and appeared to be in his early thirties. Apparently good looks also ran in the family.

"Hello, Lexi," he said, greeting his niece with a hug. "And you must me Sonny Munroe. I've heard so much about you."

I responded with a simple, "Hello," still unsure of what he thought of me.

"Well, we'd better get going," he mumbled turning back to his niece. "Some people are planning to audition for the part of Nathan."

Lexi nodded and smiled, a sparkle glowing in her eye.

Her uncle had driven to the airport in a Lexus. I guess he figured using a porche would be to flashy, but he still wouldn't be caught dead in a Ford. (A/N: For anybody offended by the Ford crack, my mother drives a Ford SUV.)

When we arrived at his house, my eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. The place was a beautiful two story mansion by the beach. Actually, taking three steps into the backyard would lead you onto the beach. Lexi took me inside and showed me around. It was no grand tour, but she managed to walk by rooms, pointing out bedroom, guestroom, kitchen, bathroom, family room, off limits, blah, blah, blah. She showed me to the room that I would be staying in. One simple look around, and I approved of the beautifully furnished room. It came with a bed, walk-in closet, dresser, mirror, carpet, desk, computer, bathroom, phone, book shelf, and chest. Looking near the bed, I noticed that my suitcases had already been moved in and placed on the floor.

"Good, you're all set," Lexi said, clapping her hands together.

"Andy, are you going to introduce me to our houseguest?"

I looked past Lexi towards the door and just thought, "WOW!" The guy standing by the door appeared to be about a year or two older than myself. He had dark brown hair that almost appeared black and dark, piercing blue eyes. He wasn't quite as tall as Lexi's uncle, but he definately wasn't anywhere near as short as Lexi. He also wasn't as skinny, muscles showing through his too-tight t-shirt.

Lexi rolled her eyes as if beautiful boys appeared at the door everyday. Of course, for her, they probably did. "Sonny, this is my cousin Avery. Avery, this is my friend Sonny."

"Hi Sonny," he said, smiling at me. "I can't wait to see how this plays out."

Okay so, a few notes for me to leave before I forget. First, I'm not sure how Sonny feels about music, but I wanted her to like it since Demi Lovato is an AWESOME singer. Two, for those of you who will probably rip my eyes out if I don't add in the other characters from the show (like COUGH Chad!!!!!), they will be showing up eventually. Once she starts getting settled, there will be a few guest appearances. Also, I once again want to thank everyone who review. Oh yeah, and do any of you know how old Sonny is? I can take an estimate, but I don't know for sure. Oh well, please review. You know you want to.
