Chapter 4

I was nervous. I don't mean bad nervous, I mean good nervous. I couldn't wait for tonight! I was Robin Hood. I couldn't think of anything else in time. I was getting into my costume when my cell phone rang. I looked at the CID (Caller ID) and my heart sped up a little.

"Hey Sonny!" I said into the phone.

"What did I say about you saying that?" she said jokingly.

"Fine! Good Day Mademoiselle Sonny." I said with a fake British accent.

"Yes yes Monsieur Chad I was just wondering if you would be my royal escort to the ball tonight? As friends of course." She said also in an accent.

"Of course Madame." I replied.

"Thank you. Good day" she said.

"Good day." I replied, and then laughed. She laughed to.

"No but seriously Chad when are you gonna be there because you're the only person I know who's going there!" she said sounding a little desperate.

"How about I pick you up and you can come with me?" I questioned.

"Oh that would be awesome! Let me ask my dad. Hold on a sec." she said.

"K." I responded. A few seconds later she came back. "Yeah sure Chad! Go ahead. Call me when you leave your house and I'll tell you how to get to mine." Sonny told me.

"Ok. Sounds good to me! I'll see you soon Sonny!" I said.

"Ok call me when you leave! Bye Chad!" And she hung up. I sighed and finished putting on my costume.

My mom honked the horn as we pulled up, and I saw two dogs come running up to the silver gate in front of us and start yapping their heads off. Then Sonny came running out in a robe-ish thing that covered what I could tell was a poufy dress. She hooked up the dogs and yelled for me to wait a second. I nodded. A few seconds later she came out with who I assumed to be her younger brother and she told him something. Then opened the gate a little, slid through, and came over to my side of the car.

"Hey! What are you—Robin Hood?" Sonny asked in surprise.

"Yup couldn't come up with anything else in time." I said.

"Ok then… so whaddaya think of my costume?" she asked and twirled around in front of me. She was wearing a Caribbean Blue layered dress that went down almost to her ankles. She also had a fake crown on her head.

"I think it looks really good. You definitely look like a prom queen." I complimented.

"Thanks! Oh and did I mention you make a good Robin Hood?" Sonny asked.

"No you didn't. I n fact I was about to as—" I started. "Ok can you two quit yapping and get in the car already? We're going to be late!" my mom interrupted.

"Sorry Mrs. Cooper." Sonny replied.

"It's ok but next time try to hurry up a bit." My mom responded.

We hopped into the back seat and talked about random things until we got to school. Then we got out and made our way over to the gym where the costume party was going to be held. From the looks of the parking lot it had already started. I opened the door and went inside, after Sonny of course.

"Oh my gosh! AWESOME! I LOVE the decorations!" Sonny said in awe.

"Yeah they're really good!" I murmured also in awe, as I took in all the shimmery lights, the smoke, and the pumpkins.

"It's amazing because you wouldn't believe that yesterday, we had P.E. in here!" Sonny said.

"Yeah I know." Right then, James Conroy decided to show up and asked Sonny to dance. Of course she agreed. I mean he's like the hottest guy in the school according to the gossipy girls. I watched with envy as they danced to some wacko Halloween song. I've always hated Halloween songs but this just makes me hate them all soooo much more!

About an hour later Sonny came back over to me with a huge smile on her face.

"Hey! Having fun? I sure am! Guess what? No wait don't guess. JAMES ASKED ME TO BE HIS GIRLFRIEND!!!!!!!!" She practically yelled.

"WOW! That's so great Sonny!" I said with a fake smile.

"What's wrong Chad?" she asked me curiously.

"Nothing! Nothing at all. I'm happy for you. Really!" I said quickly.

"OK then…" she said unsurely.

Later that night my mom took me home. Just me not Sonny. James took her home. After that night Sonny and I no longer hung out as much. She spent so much time with her boyfriend she didn't have time for me, her best friend, anymore. It broke my heart.

A/N: Sorry for taking so long to update, was busy what with the holidays and all that jazz, I'll update again probably later tonight. HOPE YOU ALL HAD AN AWESOME HOLIDY SEASON! (I was going to say Merry Christmas, but then I figured that wouldn't be fair to all the Jews, and the people who celebrate Kwanza out there so happy holidays!)
