SONNY'S POV

Why did CHAD have to be my neighbor? Yes, that was my first thought when I woke up Thursday morning. I sighed and walked to my closet. Chad's window was closed, not that I wanted it to be open or anything. That's just weird.

"Sonny!" my mother called from downstairs. Did she not realize it was 5AM.. No smart child wants to be yelled at right now.

"What?" I mumbled, yeah. Like she heard me. I got dressed in a sundress and some flip flops. Another day at Condor High. Another day of sitting across from Chad on the bus. Great.

As soon as I looked okay, I ran down stairs and ate some breakfast - Frosted Flakes. My mom looked towards me and smiled, "Sonny. It takes you an hour to get dressed?"

"Yes, mother," I said, while chewing on my cereal.

"Sonny Alison Munroe, chew with your mouth closed!" I rolled my eyes. My mother could be such a moron sometimes.

"Sorry!" I muttered, mostly to myself. An awkward silence of about 15 minutes past and I ran to the bus stop, "Bye, mom!"

"Love you, Sonny!" she yelled out the door.

I rolled my eyes, that was embarassing. Good thing nobody heard-

"Your mom loves you?" Chad smirked, except him. Dear God. Why was I cursed with such an annoying neighbor?

"Jealous because nobody loves you?" I quickly shot back. The look on his face was hurt, "I'm kidding, Cooper. I could never be so mean to anyone."

"Especially me?" he smiled. Not a smirk, a smile. Yes, you read correctly.

"Ummm, sure," I raised a brow. Why be so nice to me now? He was a complete neighborly pain in the ass yesterday. Excuse my language, guys.

"That's alright. You haven't gotten to know me," he winked. Ew. What a jerk!

"What's that supposed to mean?" I challenged. He raised a brow. Obviously, no one challenged him around here. Well, I did.

"Go on a date with me, Munroe," he wasn't trying to hold in any laughter. He looked dead serious.

"Wh- What?" I stammered. Stay calm Munroe. I inhaled and exhaled deeply and quickly. He was kidding. I knew he was.

"One date."

"But we're total opposites!" I screamed. I saw the bus coming from up ahead.

Chad smiled, "But I wouldn't change a thing," he clicked his tongue. Damn, why was that so cute?

"Cooper. Tell me your kidding, please?" my eyes were wide, and I probably was really red.

"Fine. But, I'll prove to you. You should go on just one date with me. I'll do it," he smiled. Actually, he never stopped smiling.

I rolled my eyes and looked away.

He looked back and made that face. You know, the face that bad boys use to get all the girls? That face. He grinned, "You're the first girl to ever say no.. to me, you know that right?"

I tried not to smile, "Really?"

"Yeah. There's the bus," he smirked, "Better get going."

"Fine," I rolled my eyes, stepping onto the bus.

"Fine."

I smirked all the way to the back of the bus, "Good."

"Good," he remarked back.

I rolled my eyes, "You're, like, obsessed with the idea of trying to get me to like you."

"No. I'm so, like, not," he mocked the tone of my voice. Very badly.

"I don't talk like that, Cooper," I smiled.

"But, you so do, Munroe," he mocked me again. Dude. Really?

"You drive me insane, Chad," I turned to the window on my left.

"Back at you, Sonny," he smiled, turning towards his window.

Now I just had to prove to Chad I was NEVER going to like him.
