A/N

Hey guys! Thanks so much for your reviews. I'm glad you're liking it so far. 50+ reviews on only two chapters! Thanks! Um… nothing special besides that so ENJOY!

I'm really sorry about all the technical difficulties with my update like last chapter. It's frustrating and awkward and somewhat embarrassing. Again, I'm sorry.

SONNY POV

Today was my first day of school and I was a little nervous. I was going to be the new girl and no one ever talks to the new girl on the first day. I wasn't conflicted over which outfit I should wear. This school had a uniform, so I didn't worry about impressing anyone. It was a navy blue pleated skirt that dropped right above my knee. The plain white blouse was simple. Over it would go the navy blue sweater vest that had the schools white and gold emblem on the left breast. It wasn't the greatest outfit in the world. I'm still wearing my converses. My navy blue ones to be more exact. I grabbed my black Jansport bag and looked into the mirror

It looks like I have a whole lot of money to afford going there. This is what I would have to wear for two years since I'm a junior. I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair. I wondered what Chad was doing. Probably sleeping still since college class doesn't start for a while. My heart jumped rapidly when he had pulled me closer to him yesterday. Derek, who was walking up the steps when it happened, was oblivious to it but I wanted to punch him in the neck for interrupting it. I stopped myself from grinning like an idiot.

"Bye mom... Bye dad" I yelled out as I opened the front door. My heart stopped when I saw Chad and his friends leaning on his car and talking. I closed the front door and dropped my keys in my bag. Just breathe, Sonny. Don't swoon… and don't fall; you'll be an idiot if you do. I stepped down the six stairs that led to the pavement. Safe.

"Yo, Sonny..." James called me. Or Grady. No James "Come here" He waved me over. I walked to them through the grass and stood in the opening they left for me in there group. It was weird talking to college guys. I thought they would be all stuck up and dude-ish.

"Nice, uniform" Chad teased.

"Yeah, I always wanted to be a school girl" I grinned while they all chuckled softly "It's nine in the morning. I figured you would be sleep"

"Nah, me and Chad's class starts in an hour and Grady and James' class starts in two hours" Bryce answered

"Oh, you're a business major too?" I gestured to Bryce he nodded and smirked

"You need a ride to school?" He offered, I looked back at my house and nodded.

"It doesn't look like there's space so I'll walk" I declined and started walking away

"Sonny... there's space. Trust me..."

"I don't want to be a hassle" I shook my head. He opened the car door and looked at me after Grady got in.

"Get in the car, Sonny..." A car full of guys? I was a little skeptical. What if they tried something? I don't think they would. I don't think Chad would let them. I slid into the middle, being careful of my skirt "Let me see your phone…" He reached back. I handed him my new phone and watched him hand it to Bryce. Chad doesn't really speak to me a lot unless we are alone. Even then our conversations are short and intimidating. He's very intimidating. It scares me but excites me a little bit.

"Are you excited?" Grady asked me

"No, not really. Being the new girl is never fun"

"That might be true but you get perks" James laughed "My brother Daniel, he's a senior but he's a nice kid. I'll tell him about you"

"Okay..." I chuckled as we pulled up outside of the school were every girl was wearing the same uniform as I was and the guys just ditched the skirts and had tan slacks. There were so many blondes and not enough brunettes. Even the guys had blonde hair. I'm noticing a trend here.

"I should embarrass you..." Chad said, fiddling with the lighter in his hand.

"You shouldn't" I laughed and shook my head before getting out of the car once Grady let me out. When I walked around the car to get to the sidewalk, I prepared myself for the looks and whispering. Sure enough, it happened. Rolling up to school on your first day with a car full of guys will get you talked about.

"Sonny!" I got called back after a few steps. I walked back to the car slinging my arms through the bag straps. Bryce handed me my phone that I almost forgot.

"We took the liberty of putting all out numbers in there" Bryce said, handing the iPhone to me.

"I feel so honored, thank you" I smirked and turned back around. I have Chad's number...

Ah!

I was right about the blonde thing. For every thirty five blondes there were two brunettes. The classes were easy to find, my locker, was extremely easy to find. Picking a seat during lunch… that wasn't the greatest thing in the world. I held my clear plastic clam shell container of what I bought from the cafeteria servers, a whole wheat, hummus, lettuce, tomato, Swiss cheese and avocado wrap. It was fresh because I watched her make it off to the side. I never went to a school where they ask you what you want to eat specifically. It was kind of cool. I saw an empty round table near the back end of the cafeteria and made my way to it. I sat down and quietly and placed my bag beside me. Opening the container, the food smelled good and it made my mouth water. I picked half of it up and bit into it. Mm… it tasted as good as it smelled.

"Hi… you mind if I join you newbie" A males voice brought my eyes up and caught my attention. I had a mouth full of food so I shook my head. He had dark hair and dark eyes like James had. I wondered… "I'm Daniel" Yeah, wow… James really did tell him about me. I swallowed my food and cleared my throat. Yeah, I'm a vegetarian. A Ovo-Lacto vegetarian to be more exact. I eat dairy including eggs but no meat at all.

"I'm Sonny…"

"Yeah, I figured. James told me that you were new and Chad's new next door neighbor"

"Yeah…" I chuckled and took a sip of my water to make sure my teeth were free of food "You look like your brother a little…"

"I get that a lot" He smiled "How do you like where you live at so far. I mean, besides seeing my idiot brother hanging out with his friends?" There are girls staring at him and I. Signs of jealousy maybe? Is this the perk that James said in the car?

"It's cool. It's quiet and nice. Do you live over there?" I asked before taking another bite of my wrap

"Sort of, I live up the block from Chad. All my life I lived there. Where'd you move from?"

"Wisconsin…" I answered, swallowing my delicious food. I took another sip of water "Everyone is staring…" I mentioned while he gulped down his orange juice. He turned to see what I was talking about and then looked at me with a smile

"You're new and I'm a senior talking to you… that's why?"

"I take it you usually don't do this then?" I smirked

"Nah but you know my brother and he said to make you feel comfortable or he'll kill me"

"You don't have to sit with me…" I giggled lowly "You can go and I'll just lie"

"No, no. I want to… you seem nice and not as stuck up as every other girl here" He laughed "It makes you cooler in my book" I smiled and shrugged off the stares as I talked to Daniel the entire lunch period. We spoke to each other like we were best friends. He even offered to walk me home because he knew his brother would be there.

CHAD POV

"Why would you do that to her?" Portlyn snapped at me quietly and punched me hard in the chest. I hissed and kept down the aisle of fiction novels in the enormous campus library. "She is a sweet girl and you were a dick to her"

"You're getting on my nerves, Port. Leave me alone" I said back

"Are you that much of an asshole to every girl? Including me?"

"Wow, you expect me to change just because we're sleeping together? What the fuck ran through your head?" I snorted a small laugh and scanned my eyes over the list of books I had to take out and read for English.

"No, I don't expect you to change bu-"

"She asked me if I would sleep with her and I said no. She asked why and I told her plain and simple that she wasn't my type"

"Women are your type, Chad"

"She's too sincere and sweet. Would you like me to turn her into someone she's not by fucking her and leaving five minutes after we finished?"

"You talk about her like she's not a grown woman"

"She's my age" I exclaimed but quickly lowered my voice. "I don't care if she's mad"

"Vanessa could've been your potential girlfriend"

"I don't want a girlfriend. Isn't that why we are together? You didn't want a boyfriend and you found me. I didn't want a girlfriend so now here we are. Why are you badgering me about shit that I don't want? Vanessa isn't the hit it and quit it type a girl"

"What does that make me?" Portlyn put her hands on her hips and stopped at the end of the aisle. Why do fiction books have to be in the back of the library? They never have shit. I looked her up and down before smirking.

"You really want me to answer that question?"

"Yes, Chad. I want an honest answer"

"I'm not answering that because I'll hurt your feelings"

"If you care about my feelings than you obviously care about me"

"No, it doesn't work like that. I don't want you to go back to your dorm with The Notebook on replay and a tub of Häagen Dazs and a box of Godiva; crying your eyes about how I made you feel, Portlyn"

"Just answer the damn question" She shrugged.

You're the girl that I call when I want a quick fuck and once we're satisfied we cut off connection until a phone call is made. You knew what it was as soon as you got into it. Is that honest enough for you?"

"You're such a fucking dickhead" She scowled.

"Told you"

"It's nice to know how you really feel" She scoffed.

"Whatever floats your boat, sweetheart" I muttered. She watched me reach up onto one of the shelves and pull down Lolita by Vladamir Nobokov. I sighed and turned to face her, grabbing her waist and bringing her towards be. She folded her arms and shook her head.

"I hate you" She told me.

"Mhm"

"I really do" I bent my head to her jaw line and placed a kiss on it. She groaned from protest and laughed. "Stop it…" She tried to sternly say but dropped her arms and wrapped her fingers around my biceps "Chad…" She whined

SONNY POV

"Hey, newbie" A brunette girl called me while I was taking books out of my locker. I pushed my hair behind my ear and smiled

"It's Sonny…"

"Hey, Sonny" She corrected herself with a laugh "It's about time another dark haired girl got here"

"Yeah, the blonde infestation has my mind spinning" She laughed again and leaned on the locker next to mine.

"I'm Penelope. Fellow dark haired female"

"It's nice to meet you" I responded politely "So, what's up?"

"Nothing… I just wanted to be nice and say hi. Are you a junior too? Where'd you move from?"

"Wisconsin and yeah… I'm a junior"

"You know girls are already talking about you?" She patted my shoulder while I placed a textbook in my bag

"Really? What are they saying?"

"It's about you showing up to school in a car full of hot guys. One of them being Daniels brother" She grinned "How'd that happen?"

"The guy that was driving offered to give me a ride. He's my neighbor" I explained to her "I didn't really think there would be that much talk about"

"Yeah and then there's the one with you and Daniel sitting with each other at lunch. He never does that. He usually stays with his exclusive group of friends"

"Is Daniel a big thing at this school?" I chuckled and closed my locker. I took my schedule out of the front pocket of my bag and looked at it. I had history in room 267a.

"He kind of is. I mean, he knows everyone and he's freaking hot so for him to sit with you on the first day is a big thing…"

"I guess…" She snatched my schedule and looked at it

"You have history now? So, do I. You're with me" She grabbed my hand and pulled me down the hallway with her. I laughed as she started running when the first bell rang. She dragged me up the flight of stairs and turned the corner into the classroom "Sit next to me" She stated, handing me back my schedule and pointing to the empty seat on her left near the window. Our history teacher, Mr. Bennett was way too enthusiastic about the topic. He loved exaggerating the facts and making the students laugh so they understand it better. Penelope was hyper and really funny. I could tell that I was going to like her.

"How is it possible for a school to be set up in cliques?" I asked Daniel as we turned down my block with a small cup of gelato he had bought for me. It was a nice gesture and he said it was to 'welcome me into California in a "sweet" way'. I had laughed at his corny joke and thanked him for the savory chocolate.

"It just happened. I mean, no one just said 'let's make small groups' it just made itself on its own" He chuckled and liked the vanilla off his cone "They don't have cliques at your old school?"

"They did but everyone came together in the end"

"Ah, I see" I laughed and brought the spoon up to my mouth "I guarantee you my brother is going to be at Chad's house"

"Most likely… how long have they been friends?"

"Since forever and then some…" He nodded "Did you have fun on your first day of school"

"Yeah, so much fun. I almost broke out into song during my math class" He laughed with a smile and shook his head "I'm so serious" He kept laughing while he looked at me

"You're funny, Sonny" He stated with a pat on top of my head. Hey, that rhymed. I wondered if Chad was home also. He did say that his friends would be there and he won't sometimes. I find that a little odd but shrugged it off.

"They say you're a big thing at school" I told Daniel before taking another spoonful of gelato

"Eh, nah not really… they say that because I'm known for my brother truthfully. He was the ladies man and the trouble maker"

"And you aren't a ladies' man?" I teased when he grinned

"I don't know, Sonny? You tell me"

"I haven't seen you in action before, so I wouldn't be able to say"

"In action?" He snickered "Well, what about you? Are you the golden apple of many?"

"Nah… not really"

"You don't have a boyfriend?"

"I do. What about you?"

"Right now? I'm working on it"

"Gotcha…" I chuckled before he opened the gate to Chad's backyard and let me walk through first.

"Hey, Daniel… Hey… Sonny" He's kinda cute. Chad said with his shirt off playing basketball with Bryce. When I saw Chad was toned beyond toned beyond toned… I'm not lying. I mean, his abs were hot enough to make my gelato melt.

Did you just say that?

"How was your first day of school, Sonny?" Bryce asked out of breath from playing a one on one game with Chad. Chad had the ball so he made a jump shot and laughed when he scored. I'm not supposed to be back here according to my dad's rules but I'm not even sure he's home.

"Fine… I met him"

"…and I met her" Daniel stated right after I had spoke "Where's my brother?"

"On his way with Grady…"

"Mmkay, I'm going to go steal a beer" He stated with his finished cone in one hand and walking toward the sliding door.

"Did you make friends?" Chad asked

"No, I'm a loser"

"Aw, don't talk down about yourself" He laughed shortly. I caught myself following a bead of sweat that left his jaw line and dripped all the way down his neck, to his chest, over his abs and stopping right at his- "Sonny!"

"Ah! What?" I jumped out of my dirty thoughts, snapped my eyes up to Chad's. I knew the feeling between my legs. I felt warm and kind of tingly. I didn't want to acknowledge but I knew it had to do with the word 'aroused' to be even more clear 'horny'. Chad made me horny. Is that even possible? Getting hot and bothered by looking?

That is a very bad thing.

"I asked if you truly made any friends"

"Oh um… yeah. A girl named Penelope" I answered, spooning the rest of the gelato into my mouth so I couldn't say anything that I would regret.

"Bro, you lost" Chad said to Bryce as he bounced the ball in his hand "You play any sports, Sonshine?"

"Sonshine?" I repeated

"Mhm, I'm calling you Sonshine because it sounds better"

"My regular name sounds better"

"I'm not a regular guy therefore I shall call you something that's different from your regular name" I peered at him with curious, wanting eyes while he just gave me this sexy smirk.

"Uh… I dabble… maybe" I don't play basketball as I sport but Michael, my boyfriend, played for the school and taught me a few things. He's a freshman at the University of Wisconsin for basketball. I walked over to the table that Bryce and Daniel were sitting at and placed the empty gelato cup down along with my bag. I took the ball out of his hands.

"You play ball?"

"No" I dribbled a few times before shooting it. When it made the 'swish' sound I chuckled. He turned his head to me and raised both his eyebrows.

Hey, gorgeous…

"Oh, you have skills?"

"Nah, not really. I have to go though, I have homework to do"

The sun was setting and I was just finished with my homework. It may be a nice and friendly school but they give homework until the end. I don't mind doing it. I wrote out a paragraph answer in my neat handwriting and closed my textbook. My father had asked me earlier how school was and I told him boring. When my mother asked, I told her fun. I give different answers to different people. My father wants an answer that resembles one where I actually did work in school. I placed my notebook in my bag and leaned back in the chair. My phone beeped four times on my dresser. I got up to go answer it. I saw that it was a text from Chad. I smiled from ear to ear and read it.

'Come show me your basketball skills' – CDC

'I'm busy' – SM

I walked out onto the small balcony and peeked out. I saw him dribbling the ball a little before he lifted his hand to read my text.

'No, you aren't. You're peeking out your balcony window' – CDC

I smiled again and shook my head at the text.

'Well, I was busy and you're smoking' – SM

'What does my smoking has to do with this?' – CDC

'It's nasty and you should stop' – SM

'Get your ass out here' – CDC

I slipped on my converses and left my phone on my bed. I had changed my clothes into a pair of shorts and a red t shirt just to get out of the bland uniform. My mother saw me walk past her and asked me where I was going so I told her I was going to shoot some hoops with Chad. I left my house and walked through his backyard gate. My father had left to go to work so he won't know and Jake… is napping… I think and Derek is… somewhere in the neighborhood.

"It's about time" He deadpanned and placed his phone on the table. He then put out his cigarette "Show me your skills"

"I don't have skills…" I laughed and pulled my hair off of my shoulders.

"Yeah, okay…" He sarcastically said "Ladies get the ball first. Game's twenty one"

"Okay…" I laughed and dribbled the ball. He smiled and fixed the bottom of his shirt. Instead of trying to get around his muscled, California sun kissed gorgeousness, I made a jump shot. "Oh… score one. Losers ball" I taunted

"I got it, I got it" He laughed softly and caught the ball that bounced when it hit the pavement "You lied about not having skills. I don't like liars"

"It was a lucky shot…"

Twenty minutes later, I was up by two points and I truly think he was letting me win. I'm not that good at basketball. He dribbled the ball, switching up his hands so I can't get it. We were both sweaty and a sweaty Chad doesn't help that I'm already squeezing my legs together to get some relief.

"I think… you were a basketball player in your old school" He panted out. I chuckled and reached for the ball again but he switched his hands again.

"Nah, maybe if you quit smoking you wouldn't be so short of breath" I shook my head

"Shut up"

"If I make another shot I win"

"If I make another shot, we're tied" He swiftly stepped around me and made a layup. "And… we're tied" He passed me the ball. I bounced it a few times while looking at him.

"Alright… if I make this… you have to give me props for beating you. For a sixteen year old beating a twenty one year old guy"

"It's not happening…"

"It would be the highlight of my life" He chuckled and tried to take the ball out of my hands "Ah, ah" There's no way of getting around his muscular gorgeousness so I set up a jump shot and prepared to shoot it. His hand reached up and brought the ball back down while it was still in my hand. He looked me in the eye the entire time. His blue eyes draw you in before you have a chance to protest. It's scary. My breath hitched in my throat and I swallowed slowly and accidently dropped the ball. He was so close and his eyes were extremely blue. It's bluer than anything I've ever seen.

He moved in a little closer, cupping my cheek. I stared at his lips that I wanted to kiss so badly. His forehead rested against mine and his lips captured mine. I fluttered my eyes closed. When I tell you I felt fireworks, it would be a lie. It's more like an explosion of fireworks. Damn, the fireworks. It was supernova! I relaxed into the kiss after the two second initial shock and rested my hands on his shoulder. He dropped his hands to my waist and pulled me closer to him so that our bodies were touching.

My stomach did a million twists and turns while it flipped upside down. I didn't really know how to explain it. My mind was fogging up and my whole entire body felt warm. I didn't know why. It's not my first kiss. Well, it's my first kiss, kissing Chad. It felt really comfortable and… somehow it felt right. When he pulled back, I couldn't look him in the eye. I had remembered that he was twenty one and I was sixteen. Then I remembered that I had a boyfriend.

It's so wrong…

"Uhm…" He cleared his throat quickly "…Sonny- I" He mumbled

"I uh… I have to go" I backed up and damn near ran out of his backyard. I ran through the house and up to my room where I closed the door and flopped onto my bed, shoving my head into my pillow. I just kissed… Chad. It was amazing but crap. I smiled a little; he's a really good kisser.

CHAD POV
