Hi! So in the last chapter, there were some questions about Chad's virginity. Yes, Chad is still a virgin but I know that seventeen year old boys, no matter with or without virginity, have hormones and they always this dirty. I guess girls my age do to and I am only a young teen. Anyways, just wanted to clear that up and on with the story.

(Chad POV)

The Swim Challenge:

Sonny ran into the bathroom to quick claim her shelves. She was a smart girl… or maybe I just was a stupid boy. With all of my products, I should have gone there first and gotten my shelves. As Sonny started to walk out of the bathroom, the phone in the hotel room rang. Sonny looked at me with curiosity in her eyes. I got up and picked up the phone.

"Hello," I said into the phone.

"Meet downstairs in your swim suits," the voice on the other end ordered.

"May I ask who this is?"

"It's Ms. Bitterman," sounded her impatient voice.

"Oh, alright. Why bathing suits," I asked.

"We are going down to the pool."

"Alright see you soon," I said and the line instantly went dead.

"Well that polite," I said sarcastically.

"What? Who was it," Sonny asked.

"Ms. Bitterman and she just hung up as soon as I confirmed that we would be there."

"Where?"
"Oh. We are all going down to the pool so throw on your swim suit," I told her as I started to unzip my suit case.

"Okay. Bathroom or bedroom," she asked.

"Huh?"

"Are you changing in the bathroom or bedroom so I can determine where I am changing?"
"Bedroom," I said.

"Alright, to the bathroom, she said pulling out a neon pink bikini. I smiled.

I pulled out my Maui flowered pair of swim trunks and quick pulled off my jean shorts and slid on my swim trunks. I quick fixed up my hair because I wanted to look really great before the chlorine dried out my hair.

Sonny slowly came out of bathroom in the neon pink bikini. She looked like she felt uncomfortable with the majority of her skin naked.

"Wow," I said.

"You too… did you just fix your hair before chlorine," she asked.

"No," I lied, looking away from her eyes.

"Liar," she mumbled.

We each grabbed a towel and then I grabbed the room key and took her hand and we walked out.

We stepped into the elevator and made our way down stairs. Everyone was glaring at us when we reached them at the pool, annoyed that they had to wait for us.

"Okay everyone, you can go in," Ms. Bitterman announced. Nico and Grady did cannonballs into the water first. Sonny pulled her towel off her body and I took it and put it with my towel and the key on a chair. Then I pulled my shirt over my head and I heard Tawni gasp.

"You're wearing the same bathing suit as me," she hissed.

"So? What's wrong with that," Sonny asked and Tawni shoved her into the water. Sonny came out of the water coughing.

"Sonny, are you okay," I asked.

She continued coughing and shook her head 'no'.

I dove into the water and got her into my arms. I put her on the side of the pool and hopped out. I got her standing and pulled her hands above her head as she continued to cough up chlorinated water.

When she stopped, she was slightly paler than usual. She hugged me close and thanked me.

"Are you not a strong swimmer," I asked.

"No, that's not it. I didn't know I was going to be pushed in so I was in mid breath," she said.

She glared at Tawni and then jumped in on her own in a perfect swan dive.

I hopped in and Sonny smirked.

"How about a little bet," she asked.

"About?"

"I bet that I can swim one hundred meters faster than you," she said with a devious grin.

"Are you trying to hustle me," I asked.

She just smiled.

"I'll take a crack at it," I said smugly.

She hopped out of the water and walked over the twenty-five meter pool. She hopped into one of the lanes and I followed her into the other.

"You swim from this side to the other, back to this side, back to the other, and you end up back here for a total of one hundred meters," she said.

"Okay."

"Nico! Grady," she yelled.

They were there momentarily.

"Count us in and say go," she said.

"Three, two, one… GO," they said simultaneously.

We both took off, she was ahead by a little bit; my head was at her waist and I planned to stay that way.

We swam that way, us both continuously doing flip-turns to continue on the race. When we had each done our last flip-turn to do the last lap, I pulled ahead, swimming faster than before. She sped up trying to get ahead of me again and it was close. In the end, I got to our starting wall first. She was about half a second too late.

"What did I win," I asked.

"Is everything about winning something," she asked.

"Yeah," I said.

"You have bragging rights," Sonny told me.

"Psssh, I have those anyways."

"I don't know what else I can give you," she said.

"You wanna know what?"

"What?"

"The real prize is you."

"Aw," she said hugging me in the water.

Everyone swam together for another half an hour and then Ms. Bitterman pulled us out so we could all shower and then get ready for dinner. We were going out to some sushi restaurant.

I climbed out of the pool first, wrapped my towel around myself and then handed Sonny her towel. I picked up my t-shirt and the room key and took Sonny's hand.

We took the elevator to our suite and went inside. Sonny told me that I could shower first so I pulled out all of my hair products and hopped in. I used my shampoo, conditioner, and special hair moisturizer.

After I had finished my shower, I quickly wrapped myself in a towel and left the bathroom. I pulled on my limited edition Mackenzie Falls bathrobe. When they came out, there were only five hundred made, all individually numbered and the only way to get one was to buy all three seasons of Mackenzie Falls and send in all three UPC codes plus UPC codes from at least two other pieces of Mackenzie Falls merchandise.

I walked out of the room and Sonny was tearing up. I rushed to her side.

"Sonny what's wrong," I asked.

"Chad, don't worry. I just finished reading my book," she said.

"Then why are you crying," I asked.

"Because one of the characters died," she explained.

"Okay. Well, you should go shower because we have to be down stairs and ready to go by seven and it is 5:45 already," I told her and she scurried into the bathroom. The phone rang when the shower started. I walked across the room

"Hello," I said.

"Chad, it's Ms. Bitterman. Tonight isn't black tie but it isn't ripped shorts and a crummy t-shirt."

"Alright, I'll pass it to Sonny when she gets out of the shower," I said. Ms. Bitterman, just like earlier, hung up without a single goodbye.

I walked over to the stand up mirror and looked at my wet hair. It looked like I was a wet dog after a bath at a groomer. That is how my perfection always started; looking like a wet dog.

Hey guys! Sorry I took a little bit longer to update this time. Maybe it hasn't been that long but it feels like it to me. Please review. I am going to write the newest chapter soon but school is starting to give me homework and this is going to be a rough year so I will try to update at least once a week.
