A/N: Thanks so much for answering my question and for reviewing. I'm sorry for posting so late... But I had a major writers block... x( But anyways I hope this chapter is as good as the others. So school starts in this chapter and since this is their first day I think this chapter will be in Sonny's POV and next in Chad's. I want to show their reactions towards the same day, since this is Chad's first day of school ever and Sonny goes back to school but she's famous now. Hope you like it. :)
Oh! By the way! This chapter might be long.

SPOV
My alarm clock rang waking me up from a very relaxed night of sleep. I was such in a great mood. The sun was shining outside my window and I could hear my mom's music in the kitchen. My mom loves to do breakfast while she listens to music. I love that too 'cause it makes me wake up in a great mood. I got out of bed with a huge smile on my face, stretched and let out a last yawn. Omigosh! It's Monday! I'm going back to High School! I thought happily.
"This is going to be such a great day." I told myself while I ran to my closet.
I ran through my clothes. I chose a pair of knee lenght denim shorts and a a bright yellow top finally I put on my black sandals. I went to the bathroom to get ready, I applied some make up, picked up my new backpack and ran to the kitchen.
"Morning Mom!" I greeted smiling.
"Morning Sunshine." My mom greeted. "Ready for school?"
My mom loved the idea of me going back to High School even if it was for a short period of time. She thought I needed to rest.
"Totally." I replied smiling and sitting on my chair.
"I made your favourite." My mom told me putting a plate of pancakes full of chocolate in front of me.
"Thanks mom!" I thanked hugging her.
I cut a big piece of pancake and and ate it.
"Don't forget to drink your orange juice." My mom warned.
I raised my thumb since I couldn't talk with my mouth full and I saw her picking up the keys of her car and her purse. I swallowed and looked at her confused.
"Why are you getting ready to leave? I still have half an hour before school starts." I commented.
"I know sweetie but I've to go work earlier."
"So you're not driving me to school?" I asked sadly.
My mom and I had a tradition. Every year on my first day of school she'd drive me there and kiss me good luck. But this year that wouldn't happen.
"Sorry, I can't. You don't mind, do you Sonny?"
I shook my head and put another piece of pancake in my mouth. My mom kissed me on the cheek, wished me good luck and then she left. Well, that had never happened before but I can walk to school. It's not to far from home it's only three blocks from here... I sighed but then I smiled. It was the perfect day, nothing was going to ruin it.
I continued eating my breakfast while I listened to the radio.
A very catchy song, which I didn't know started playing cheering me up even more. I finished my breakfast, grabbed my backpack and exited the apartment. The day seemed even more brighter outside, I smiled and started walking to school. Usually I'd sat on the couch watching TV but today I had to walk that could take a while.
I put on my head phones and switched on my iPod. 'Be Ok' by Ingrid Michaelson started playing and I stared singing along. I loved that song, like everything yellow and sunny it fitted my personality. I was half on my way to school when I heard a honk behind me. I ignored it but then it honked again. I turned around to see who was honking and saw Chad with his sunglasses on and casual clothes waving at me.
"Good morning Sonshine." he mocked.
"What do you want Chad?" I asked pausing the song.
"Nothing, I was just wondering if you wanted a lift." he replied shrugging "LAHS is quite far, ya know?"
I smiled and opened the door of his convertible sitting on the passenger sit. It was very weird but also very thoughtful of him.
"Why are you offering me a lift to school?" I asked curious.
"I just wanted to be nice and it's my way of thanking you."
"Thank me for what?"
"For helping me with the shopping." Chad replied stopping in a traffic signal.
I couldn't resist and looked at his casual clothes. I had picked them all. The white short sleeved, button down shirt from Billabong, the black jeans from Levi's and the black All Stars from Converse. He looked kinda handsome, but just because I picked the clothes for him, and for record I'd never admit that aloud.
The rest of the ride to LAHS was in silence just listening to the radio.
"So..." Chad said after a while breaking the silence "Nervous about school?"
"No! I'm totally relaxed." I answered with a smile proving my happiness "You?"
"Chad Dylan Cooper doesn't do nervous." he replied not taking the eyes from the road.
I rolled my eyes. If Chad was going to be a jerk I preferred the silence. Suddenly something popped into my head, we had to go to the general office to talk about our lockers and to get our gym clothes. I told Chad that Chad and he just nodded.
"We can go together." I added.
"Sure..."
Chad parked his convertible in the school's parking lot and we got out of it. Students started staring at us with curiosity and five minutes later we were recognized and a small group of people asking for autographs formed around us. After signing a few autographs we managed to enter the school without being interrupted anymore. It's kinda weird going to school when you're famous it's people all over you asking for autographs and pictures but I'd be lying if I said I didn't like it. For the first time on my whole life I was popular!
In the general office we saw a very old and unfriendly woman. I smiled at her trying to be friendly but she never looked at me.
"Hi!" I greeted "Hum... We're new here."
"I can see that..." she replied emotionless without looking at us.
"Hum... Madam..." Chad said.
The woman rolled her eyes and finally looked at us.
"Wha-?" but she never finished her sentence "Oh! My! I can't believe my eyes! It's Chad Dylan Cooper!" she said eyes widening with starstruck.
He smirked. Mrs Bitterman should have thought about Chad's ego... Like it wasn't huge enough in the studios, they had to send him to High School where he'd be surrounded by fans flattering him all the time.
"Well, thanks." Chad replied "We're here to know about our lockers and gym clothes."
"Of course you are!" the lady said much nicer than before, she even smiled!
I can't understand why Chad has this effect on people! Ok, when I first met him I was a little starstruck but that was until I found out the jerk he was...
"I'll get you the best locker." The woman assured.
I looked at her stunned. Chad got the best locker in school just because he smiled at her. I could try it... I mean... I'm famous now.
"Excuse me." I interrupted politely "Can you get me a locker too?"
She shoot me a dirty look.
"I'm busy right now."
"Yeah Sonny don't rush this nice lady." Chad said smirking at me.
I sighed and waited for my turn. The lady gave Chad his gym clothes and the combination of his locker and in return Chad signed a picture for her.
"So what do you want?" she asked coldly.
"The same things you gave to Chad." I replied trying to be nice.
"We don't have more lockers. You'll have to share." she said blankly.
"Oh... That's Ok, I don't mind sharing." I said smiling.
I really don't mind sharing, I think it'll be a good idea. She sighed and
"'kay, this is the locker you'll be sharing." she said giving me a small piece of paper with a number "What's your size?"
"S"
She looked for something under her desk and threw me a white tee with LASH in dark blue on it and short dark blue shorts.
"Here you are." the woman said with a fake smile.
"Thank you."
And with that we exited the room. Usually everyone is nice to me but that woman was really unpleasant. Maybe, if I was lucky my locker would be far way from Chad's. Chad looked at me with an amused look.
"What's so funny?" I asked.
"Once again Chad Dylan Cooper proved to be much better than you."
I rolled my eyes.
"You're such a jerk..."
The bell rang announcing that the classes would start in 10 minutes. I had to rush to my locker and put some of my stuff there. I looked at the number: 28, my lucky number! That might mean something. I smiled and continued walking through the hallway followed by Chad.
"Why are you following me?"
"Hum... My locker is that way." Chad replied showing me a paper with the number 27.
Just my luck... We finally arrived our lockers and there was a girl opening mine. She was probably mu locker buddy. She was really pretty, she had curly dark brown hair and beautiful green eyes.
"Hi" I greeted politely "I'm Sonny Munroe."
She looked up with her eyes wide with starstruck.
"Oh! My God I can believe it! I'm your biggest fan!" she said and hugged me and a few seconds after she let go of me embarrassed "Sorry... I'm a hugger."
"Me too!" I said excited and hugged her back.
It was so nice to have such nice fans. I bet this girl and I would be great friends. I explained my situation and I asked her if she minded sharing a locker. She said it'd be an honour.
"Oh! I almost forgot! What's your name?" I asked smiling.
"Audrey, Audrey Holden." Audrey said smiling.
"Well, thanks for sharing your locker with me." I thanked smiling.
"Hum Sonny... Sorry for interrupt but how exactly does this thing work?" someone asked behind me.
"What do you want Chad?" I asked rolling my eyes.
Audrey's eyes widened with starstruck again and she gasped.
"I can't open my locker, I've been trying to open it for the last five minutes and it just doesn't open."
"Who do you think I am? Your mother?"
But I helped him anyways. If I didn't want to hear him complain the whole day...
--
Audrey and I have so much in common, beginning with our schedule. First we had English. Mr Samuels, my teacher told me to introduce to the class but a boy did it for me. I'm not sure but I think his name is Andrew. I found very easy to focus on class without Chad pushing my buttons.
We learned about Shakespear and Romeo and Juliet. It's such a romantic story...
When the class was finished I was surrounded by fans asking for autographs. I felt really good in the middle of all those fans so signed every notebook they gave me and finally Audrey and I were able to leave the classroom before the period ended. We had such great chemistry that she wasn't even treating me like her idol, I was already a friend. We walked through the hallway laughing like crazy. I was telling Audrey about the newest prank we had pull to the boys when I bumped into someone.
"Watch where you're going!" the girl I bumped into screeched.
"I'm sorry."
I looked at her for the first time. I could tell by her appearance that she was the head cheerleader and the most popular girl in school. No need to say that she looked like Barbie...
"Klutz!" she spatted.
"Hey! I said I was sorry, you don't need to be rude." I told her.
"Oh... Hi Sonny." A voice greeted me behind her.
That voice belonged to none other than Chad Dylan Cooper. He was surrounded by other girls and boys. The Elite of LASH.
"You know her?" The unpleasant girl asked surprised.
"Yeah... She shoots on the stage next to mine. We're from rival shows but their show isn't as good as mine..."
"You're such a jerk." I commented rolling my eyes.
"You're such a Diva." Chad replied crossing his arms.
"You're just saying that because I called you jerk."
"And you said that because you're jealous of my show."
"I'm so not jealous of your show." I told him smirking "Which, by the way, reminds me that I don't want to talk with you."
"Good, 'cause I don't want to talk wit you either." Chad said narrowing his eyes.
"Good."
"Good."
"Fine."
"Fine."
"So are we good?" I asked crossing my arms.
"Oh! We're so good."
And with a final glare we followed different directions leaving the group of teenagers confused. Audrey and I walked to our locker and Chad to wherever he had to go. I was expecting that... I mean Chad hagging out with the popular students. I just wanted to be normal.
"What was that?" Audrey asked amused.
"What are you talking about?"
"That argue with Chad Dylan Cooper." she replied smiling.
"Oh! That's our daily bickering, you'll get used to it don't worry." I flashed her a smile and we laughed again.
"And who was that?" I asked referring to the unpleasant girl.
"You mean that Barbie?" I told you we had a lot in common! I nodded.
"It's Penelope Levine."
"Don't need to say the rest, I figured it out by myself on the precise moment I saw her."

I declare by now that Monday mornings are the best part of the week! Wanna know why? Because any of my classes is with Chad Dylan Cooper and my day was being perfect until I met him again at lunch time. Can you believe that self-centric jerk cut the line and people lat him just because he was famous?! I'm famous too and I waited on the line! And just to provoque me he stopped in front of me.
"Hum... Chad, the rule is simple: No Cuts!" I said fake smiling.
"So... I'm famous, I can do whatever I want to." He smirked.
"No, you can't." I argued back.
"Sonny, I used to cut the line when I was on the studios and everybody was famous there, so why can't I do it here where anybody is famous?" Chad asked cocking his eyebrows.
"Because! It's disrespectful. I'm famous too and I'm waiting on the line." I explained a little angrily.
Chad was so... Infuriating!
"Oh... Please, you're not famous. You're in a crap show that nobody watches." He said rolling his eyes.
"I watch it." Audrey told him defending me.
"That proves what I said." he replied smirking.
That was it! I smacked his arm with all the strenght I had, one thing is insulting me, other thing is insulting a nice girl.
"Ouch! What was that for?" he spatted angrily.
"For being a self-centric, disrespectful, shallow and arrogant jerk!" I answered smacking him again and left the line.
I was so mad, that I wasn't even hungry anymore. I sat as far as I could from the Elite and a few minutes later Audrey sat next to me. She was so sweet! She brought me a sandwich and an apple. We sat in silence for a few minutes.
"I can't believe I had a crush on him." Audrey commented smiling.
"Don't worry... Before I met him, I had a teeny crush too but then I discovered the jerk he was." I looked around "So, your friends don't want to join us?"
Audrey looked embarrassed.
"I don't have any."
I was shocked, she was such a sweetheart!
"Why not?"
"Penelope told everybody I was a freak so no one wants to talk with me."
I felt anger in my chest.
"She's such a..."
"Yeah... But I don't care." Audrey said smiling "You're my friend now."
"Yeah... I am!"
--
I arrived home exhausted. I plopped down in my couch and sighed. My perfect da wasn't as perfect as I thought but it was fine. What ruined it was the afternoon, I had Geography and Physics and both Chad and Penelope were in my class. She spent the whole class making fun of ma but Chad didn't reply once but I could feel his glare on the back of my head.
"Sonny? Is it you dear?" I heard my mom's voice.
"Yeah!"
She entered the room smiling and asked questions about my first day. I told her about Audrey, Penelope and Chad. I really liked to talk with my mom, she was a really good listener. When I finished she hugged me and kissed me in the cheek.
"Don't worry dear. Tomorrow will be better, now take a shower and when you finish I'll have the dinner ready."
I smiled at her and went to the bathroom. My mom was right tomorrow will be much better.
A/N: Wow! Really long chapter to compensate the long time without writing for it. So this was Sonny's first day of school, next chapter will be Chad's. Hope you liked it :) Btw I'm thinking about pairing them in Heath Class... What d'ya think? ;D
