Sonny woke up in the morning feeling very tired. Her head was hurting like crazy. She got up and looked around. The room she was in seemed very unfamiliar. Looking around, she saw a huge picture on the wall. She got up to take a closer look. Last night's events came rushing back to her. She had come here to tell the guy Chloe liked, Chad who this huge picture was of, that he should take Chloe back. But she'd left her car keys in her car and it had started to rain. Chad had let her stay the night and she had gotten drunk. Then she had fainted after saying that she couldn't faint. And then, she guessed, Chad had probably taken her to HIS room so she could sleep properly. But, now, were was Chad?
"Oh whatever. I'm hungry." She said. She found her clothes from yesterday. Now they were pretty dry. She put them on and then went to the kitchen, where she got another huge knife. "God knows what he might do. I should keep this, for safety." She put the knife, blade first, into her pocket. Then she started to look around the kitchen for something to eat. She opened the fridge and found bread and butter. She took the stuff and went out to the drawing room. Then she took out a slice of bread, took her big, huge knife, and started smearing butter all over it. Just then Chad walked in. He had a huge axe in his hands. Sonny quickly hid the buttered piece of bread behind her back.
"Wh-wh-wh-why do you have an axe in your hands?" she asked, stuttering.
"Because I'm about to murder a VERY annoying girl who has long, brown curly hair, big brown eyes and has tact for interfering in my personal life. Also, she thinks she knows everything which is clearly not true or else she would have probably guessed by now that I've just come back from cutting up FIREWOOD!"
"Heh. Oops?" Sonny asked, feeling stupid.
"Yeah whatever. Look, you have to go home today. I have a lot of things to do. It's already 12:30."
"Ohhhhhhhh well Mr. Goldfarb-"
"Nono. It's Mr. COLE Goldfarb." Chad said, stressing the 'Cole'
"Fine! Mr. COLE Goldfarb" said Sonny also stressing the 'Cole', "For your kind information, I don't really enjoy staying in this house. Yesterday, I had to; I was left with no choice. Humph, I'm leaving."
"I don't remember asking you to stay. And, it's good that you're going. Your presence has made this house dirty."
"I don't see any dirt."
"I can."
"Someone here is an alien 'cuz apparently they can see suff NORMAL people cant ."
"Who you callin' normal?."
Sonny rolled her eyes "I'm going….bye…"
"Fine! I'm not stopping you."
"Fine! I'm going."
"Good!"
"Good!"
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
"Good!"
"Good and Good-bye, I hope I never have to see your ugly face AGAIN."
"Oh stop talking about yourself."
But Sonny ran out the door. She was just about to open her car when she heard Chad's voice.
"WAIT, SONNY, STOP!" He yelled.
Sonny turned around. Chad got closer to her and closer and closer. So close their noses were almost touching.
"Wha-wha." stuttered Sonny. But she was left surprised when Chad put one of his hands into her hair and pulled out a bobby pin. Then reached behind her and opened her car's lock.
"Should've thought of this yesterday." He said to himself.
"OH you opened my car. I'd almost forgotten."
"No, there's no almost, you DID forget."
"Would you stop fighting with me?"
"Will you stop annoying me?"
"Look, I NEVER annoyed you! YOU'RE the one annoying ME! Ever since the first time I've seen you, you haven't even cracked a smile."
"Shut up and go."
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
"Good!"
"Go-oh just go!"
Sonny got into her car and drove away. As soon as she got home she ran inside.
"Sonny! Hun! How was it at your friends' place?" asked her mom.
"It was, it was well, it was okay."
"Um alright. Well, there's someone here that I would like you meet." Connie took Sonny into their drawing room where an old man was sitting. His skin was wrinkled and he probably smelled like a dead person, but his big grey eyes were filled with wisdom.
Connie leaned over to whisper into Sonny's ear, "This is Mr. Anthony Mason, and he's an astrologer, I think or maybe a palmist. Yeah, he's a palmist. He's here to tell you stuff about your future. Your granddad invited him here because you're about to get married you know? Oh and I almost forgot, today is the masquerade party. It starts at 6:00pm. Go dress shopping with Tawni and Zora ok? Now go to the palmist and get your destiny checked out. Personally, I don't believe in any of this, but you know your granddad. Always wants the best for his little princess. Oh and another thing. James is coming to meet you today. Wear something pretty." Then she smiled and went away.
Sonny rocked back and forth on her heels until the palmist finally spoke. "Come here child. Come here and show me your hand."
Sonny walked over shyly. He said down next to the old man who totally smelled like a dead person and held out her hand. The old man took it and looked. "Oh my!" he said. He looked up at Sonny. "Well, you have quite a future in store child. But, I mustn't tell you. You will be faced with difficulty, a choice, true love and lots of things. All I can tell you is that you will meet you life partner at 12:00am at the Masquerade Party. I must go now but, child, a word of advice, follow your heart. Alright? I shall be gone now."
"Um I-"started Sonny but, the old man was gone by then.
"Oh WOOOOOOW!" came a voice from behind her. It was her cousins, Jake and Taylor Munroe. They were the naughtiest in her family. They were two from the triplets that had been born to her dad's older brother and his wife. Her Uncle James and auntie Tearaya (pronounced TERaya). Jake and Taylor both looked totally identical. Russet skin, dark jet black hair. Brown, almost black eyes and charming smiles. Their sister, Aarohi, was totally different. She had long brown wavy hair, Pale skin, greenish eyes and the sweetest smile ever!
"Are you really going to believe all of the stuff that old wart just told you?" asked Taylor
"Cuz it's just a bunch of bull crap." Continued Jake.
"Yeah, the stinky kind!"
"UP TOP DUDE!" Yelled Jake. They high-fived, laughing.
Then Aarohi appeared out of nowhere. She was babbling away on her cell phone.
"AHAHHAHAH yaaa! I mean she's so pretty and that dude she's getting married to…not enough. You did the right thing Bridg!" Then she saw Jake and Taylor laughing and Sonny looking all worried. She sighed and put the phone to her ear. "Hey Bridg, can I call you later. Yeah, trouble with my brothers again! OK yeah TTYLS! Bye!" She sighed turning off her phone.
"TAYLOR, JAKE! SHUT THE HELL UP!" she yelled. That silenced them. Out of everyone, they were only afraid of their sister. "Sonny! What's wrong?" she rushed over to Sonny and pulled her into a hug. Were Jake and Tay disturbing you again?"
"No, no Aar. They- they weren't what happened was-"she told Aarohi everything the palmist had said.
"Well, Sonny, I guess you WILL meet him today, remember, you can't cheat your destiny. What's meant to happen will happen. And you two," She said looking at Taylor and Jake, "Stop fooling around and get a freakin job! Seriously! You guys are firkin 21! At least get a love life, forget about love, work on getting a LIFE first!"
"Humph. Stop telling us what to do! You don't have a love life." Said Jake
"Or do you…" Taylor whispered, then Jake and Taylor started laughing again.
"Yo!" Jake said, in between laughs, "No body is going to want to date our Selena Gomez look-alike sis. Unless they have bad eyes."
"Skrew you little nuggets."
"Whatever!" the boys coursed in a girly way
"What's the time Aarohi?" asked Sonny.
"Two-Thirty." Arohi said, turing back to Sonny.
"Oh. Um, do you know what time James is coming?"
"Yep. 3:00!"
"I'm going to go get ready. Afterwards me, you, Tawni and Zora can go dress shopping for the Masquerade Ball tonight."
"OkieDokie!"
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it!" Yelled Taylor.
"NO! I will get it! It's probably Uncle Skylar's friends. They were due to come here at 2:30." Aarohi said, "Some sort of 'top secret business'"
"Ok, you go see to that." Sonny sighed, while getting up.
"Kay See ya!" Aarohi yelled, "OH and, Jake, Taylor…go do something…just get out of the way!"
Then she ran downstairs to open the door to a very angry Chad who was standing there with another even angrier guy.
