Just a warning- I really think this is the worst chapter I have ever written. I'm really stuck on this story, so there will be one more chapter, then it's done. Sorry if I disappointed anyone with it, but it's just not my favorite. It was originally meant to just be a three-shot, so now it will be five.
SONNY'S POV
As soon as I got up this morning, I ran to my computer and logged in to MySpace. If I wasn't usually so busy, I'd be so addicted to it.
First thing I did before checking anything- took Tyler off my Top Friends. I hardly even know the guy; and he was seriously creeping me out.
Then I checked to see if Chad had responded to my message. No response. He must still be mad at me. My heart sank a bit.
I felt a little knot in my stomach- why couldn't I just admit that I liked Chad? What was so hard about that?
Suddenly my phone buzzed that I had a new text message. I clicked on the 'Read' button, it was from Chad.
Yeah we do need to talk. Meet me at Starbucks- 7:00 pm tonight.
I quickly responded: Okay, see ya then.
Well it was better than nothing, but for some reason I still had that weary feeling.
I was just going to have to do it. I was going to have to be 100% honest with him.
Before leaving for rehearsal, I checked my friend's status updates.
Lucy is glad the week is halfway over. Mood: content
Tawni is perfecting perfection. Mood: beautiful
Nico wants a chocolate fountain. Mood: smooth
Grady also wants a chocolate fountain- and a time machine! Mood: energetic
Zora is going to relax in the sarcophagus for a while. Mood: mysterious
Chad hopes that today goes right. Mood: charming
Okay, Grady really needs to drop the time machine thing- it was just a clock! And Chad… what's so important about today? Surely he couldn't be thinking about our meeting tonight- it's nothing. Well to me it's something, but not to him.
And charming? Give me a break. Oh well darn, he really is charming.
I looked at the clock; 8:30. I still had half an hour to spend before rehearsal, so I decided to post a bulletin to waste the time.
Where's your girl/boy?
I don't have one at the moment
Will tomorrow be better than today?
I can only hope
Do you want to see somebody right now?
Yes, I really do.

Yeah… well, most of the time anyway ; )

Only if it's with Chad :)
Miss someone?
Yeah, I do.

CHAD'S POV
Good, she wrote me back. Short, but at least she's going to come. I guess I'm finally going to have to tell her the truth.

After lunch, I logged on to MySpace.
Sonny had posted a bulletin; this should be interesting to read…
Her bulletin says she doesn't have a guy… so she's not dating that creep? That's good news for me.
And she said that she only continues fighting with me. That made me smile. It's sweet in a twisted sort of way.
I went to my Top Friends and contemplated what number to move her to. She's number thirty now, but I knew Sonny was so much better than that. I really wanted to put her as my number one friend, but that would be too obvious. Let's go with number five… still close to the top.
--
I stood in front of my mirror, practicing what I would have to tell her that night.
"I'm sorry Sonny that I acted like a jerk…"
Hmmm… that won't do.
"I really like you…"
No, too sappy for me.
I was doomed.

SONNY'S POV
Hmmm… nothing new on MySpace except for another jerky message from Tyler. Ugh. I so needed to get rid of this guy.
Let's see if anything has changed on Chad's profile…
Holy cow! I'm number 5 on his top friends?! Number five! When did that happen? Not that I'm complaining, but wow.
I decided to return the gesture; I now had six top friends again, but instead of Tyler, I replaced him with Chad.
Then I went over what I was going to say to Chad tonight.
"Look Chad, I don't know why you were mad at me…"
That sounds kind of harsh for a guy that I like.
"So this guy… he's really Tawni's cousin…"
Oh, I was so embarrassed about the whole ordeal that I didn't really want to tell him. But I had to. He deserved to know how I felt- even if he didn't care.
