Sonny's POV-
It was Friday today, which meant Saturday was tomorrow, phew a break from my hectic schedule. I was in an English lesson but couldn't concentrate. My mind was on Tawni, she hasn't even tried to hear me out. That girl looks at everything like it's an enemy. I never would hurt Tawni's feelings, no matter how much I disliked her.
This morning I had tried desperately to talk to her but he kept pushing me away. I have no idea what to do, how am I gonna get anything done when I know someone hates me? I hate it when people hate me! I'm Sonny Munroe, I am happy and Sunny and oh wait I'm droning on. See this is what hate does to me…
After all my morning lessons finished I sullenly walked back to our dorm room to pick up something's before lunch.
Lucy had noticed me. "Hey Sonny what's up? You're not feeling Sonny today?" She smiled
"Hey see what I did there?" She giggled.
"Yeah," I sighed and flopped on the bed.
"This is about Tawni isn't it?" She went over and sat next to me.
"Unfortunately yeah, why can't she see im not out to get her," I moaned.
"I don't know, maybe she needs time to think about it, trust me next week she'll be yelling about something or someone else, it's just the many phases Tawni Hart goes through," She replied trying to comfort me.
"Yeah but still she hates me!"
Lucy tutted "She doesn't hate you, maybe doesn't like you, but definitely not hate,"
"Well that makes it better doesn't it?" I replied sarcastically.
"Hey you can't win them all right?"
"True… thanks Lucy, for listening," I held my arms out and she hugged me.
"Anything for a best friend," She winked at me. Aww she thinks of me like a best friend! I grinned at her and we both ended up in a giggling heap on the bed.
"Hey want to go grab some lunch?" I asked.
"Oh I would of but I've got music practice in a couple of minutes," Lucy frowned.
"Oh don't worry; I can probably catch the girls there,"
"Yeah okay, see you later?" I nodded and went to the dinner hall. Boy I was starving!
I chose a chicken pasta pot, an orange and a bottle of water. I looked around the hall looking for the girls. Someone tapped me on the back.
"Chad? Look if you're here to get on my nerves, I'm busy," I pointed towards my lunch.
For once Chad frowned instead of smirking.
"What makes you think I'm always on your case?"
"Because you are always on my case! Can't you pick on someone else?" I replied frustrated.
"Hey I can be nice if I want to,"
"hey you couldn't pay someone a compliment even if you wa;s tied to a chair, gagged and tortured, YOU CAN'T"
"Can!"
"Can't!"
"Can!"
"Prove it!"
"Fine I will!"
"Fine,"
"Okay im not gonna start that again Munroe, how shall I be-uh nice to you?" he coughed the word nice. Clearly not a familiar word in his vocabulary.
"I don't know, you're the one setting yourself up for failure not me," Chad looked at me like he was going to throw an insult,but he backed down and breathed in. Haha I loved annoying him, anything to get his poor little ego down.
"Well we are supposed to spend time together psshh I mean-" My glare cut Chad
"I mean, how about you come to my room and we could get to grips with the script, and get to know each other," He winced at the last bit, typical Chad.
"Ha fine, but we'll see how long you'll last, I say 10 bucks that you lose before the end of the week,"
"It's a deal, see you after dinner?"
"Good!"
"Good!"
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
I laughed to myself, poor Chad; as if he was going to last more than a week.
Chad POV
As much as I hate to say it, I reached out the olive branch of friendship. Okay that last sentence was strange. I hope Sonny takes me seriously; I don't want the whole world thinking I'm a butthead.
Sonny's POV
I walked up to where Rachel, Zora, Chloe and Tawni were sitting. As soon as I approached the table Tawni gave me an icy glare.
"Hey guys!" I smiled at everyone giving a meaningful look at Tawni. She gave me an icy look and turned away.
"What's up?" I asked as I took a seat next to Chloe.
"Oh nothing, just lessons, you know the usual," Zora replied in between mouthfuls of her sandwich. Everyone else mumbled a similar response except for Tawni. At the moment I might as well be dead to her
"Hey what's up with you and Chad lately?" I looked up at Zora confused.
"You seem to be arguing with him a lot more lately,"
I sighed. " tell me about it, for some reason we are always bumping into each other, he's in all my lessons except for P.E. this is so annoying," I moaned.
"I feel you Sonny, what's it like knowing you gonna work with him for the whole year practically?" Zora asked bemused.
"It's not funny guys, the guy carries a mirror around and has manicures, and he has better looking cuticles than me!" I shivered as I looked down at my chewed fingernails.
"Ahh life just isn't fair," Rachel giggled.
"Too right, I had a meeting with Mrs Appleton yesterday she wants me to spend time with Chad every day," As soon as I said it I felt Chloe tense up next to me.
Seriously? Was she even over Chad? Because she wasn't convincing anyone. But I decided not to confront her about it, what if she thought that I liked him or something? Last thing I want is to have another argument over something so petty. I.E Tawni
Speaking of Tawni she was still pretty much ignoring me.
The rest of the day flew by, my schedule was quite hectic that's CPA for you!
I had dinner with Kristen and while we were talking I was juggling my bowl of soup and my revision textbook. I had no time to revise later, because of Chad.
"Wow Sonny got a lot on your plate? Huh you get it?" She winked and nudged me gesturing towards my dinner. It wasn't even on a plate.
"okay first that wasn't funny Kristen, second it's a bowl!"
"I know, I know, I couldn't resist!" she giggled.
"Haha your so weird Kristen!" I shook my head.
"Love you too!" She cooed.
"Anyway enough with the funny business!" She changed the subject.
"Tell me about you and Chad!" She nudged me.
"eww theres no me and Chad!" I shuddered. She frowned.
"What do you mean? He's so hot!"
"Eww not!"
"Hot!"
"Not!"
"Hot!"
"Okay I already have enough of this from Chad; please don't you start it too!" I moaned.
"Aww see? You've already hit off on a good note!" I raised my eyebrows, as much as I loved Kristen, she loved to push my buttons, almost like Chad. Errgh stop thinking about him! How many times do I have to include the word Chad in one conversation? Bleurgh I wanted to throw up badly.
"Kristen shut up, just because were co-partners doesn't mean I like him!" Kristen was about to reply until I looked at my watch and sighed. Time for talk time with Chad.
"Sorry Kristen I've gotta go,"
"Why you've got a date?" she winked.
"No its just a civilised meeting okay?" I felt exasperated.
"Ha! You're going to see chad aren't you? Yeah you're not fooling anyone Sonny!" She grinned.
"Yeah Yeah!" I replied before sloping off.
I circled the boy's dorms for what seemed an age until I found the right one. I'm not very good at navigating- even if I could find my way around the school with a map two weeks ago my brain was not able to function these days. This school has everything but a personal sat-nav.
I knocked on the door, instead of expecting to see chad behind the door I saw a different guy. He was slim and tall and had muscular arms. He had jet black hair and a mesmerising shade of brown in his eyes. And when he smiled his teeth were pearly white. Someone pinch me I'm dreaming!
I suddenly felt very small and girly. Oh don't blow your cool Sonny!
"Hi uh is Chad here? I was gonna meet him?" I blushed like a raspberry. The hot guy raised his eyebrows and turned to shout into his room.
"Chad! Your girlfriends here!" Wait girlfriend? Eurrgh
"Oh uh Chad's not my boyfriend, we are just uh-" Friends? Not even that.
"Co-workers," I finally spat out.
"Oh so no boyfriend?" He asked smiling sweetly at me. I shook my head to reply, my mouth had turned dry and I couldn't find the courage to speak.
"Well that's a shame, my names Jake," He offered his hands out and I shook it.
"Allison, but you can call me sonny," I giggled like a little girl.
"Hmm Sonny, interesting name, nice to meet you Sonny," he smiled at me again. Ahh I felt like fainting.
The trance I was in was broken when Chad finally came out. Oh why did he have to come? I wouldn't have minded standing here and staring at Jake all day.
"Oh hey Sonny, I think we should go to the practice room okay?" I wasn't really listening to him.
"Hmm yeah kay, fine with me,"
"Good," This time I didn't even reply. Jake waved at me and I waved back feeling like a total five year old again…
We went to the practice room that I had been to a few weeks ago. Or as Chad liked to call it- his room. I sat down and thought about Jake. He was so hot! And he was in Chad's dorm room!
"So what do we do?" Chad asked with a bored expression.
"Let's get to know each other I guess," I shrugged, this was awkward.
"Okay so…"
"So…"
"Tell me about your roommate Jake," I asked trying to sound casual. Chad raised his eyebrows.
"Why the sudden interest in Jake?"
"Oh you know, just interested, want to meet new people," I trailed off.
"Right, well I can confirm he's single," Oops maybe I was too straightforward to Chad.
"What makes you say I wanted to know that fact? Pfft," I replied feeling embarrassed, I certainly didn't want to have a girly conversation with Chad. This is something I should be doing with Kristen.
"Errm, I don't know, maybe it was the way you was drooling over him in the corridor," Chad chuckled.
"I was not drooling!" I glared at Chad. "But he is kind of hot!" I giggled. Oh no I did it again!
"Haha in your dreams, I am way more good looking than Jake Dean," Chad scoffed.
"You was like a giant dog, all over him!" I felt myself going tomato red.
"Did I just hear an insult?" I put my hand against my ear.
"Err- I meant a cute dog," He coughed. Cute? Is that the best he could come up with?
"Anyway why would you want to go out with a butthead like him?" Chad laughed again.
"Well you can talk all you like, what a hypocrite," I mumbled. Chad's smile turned to a frown.
"What do you mean?" He asked puzzled.
"Well someone tells me that you're a novice heartbreaker yourself," I replied.
"I nev-"
"Yeah according to practically everyone, you find it amusing to play with girls emotions huh? You know sometimes I think you care about yourself more than others," Chad's frown started to deepen. I guess he didn't like being served his own medicine.
"I'm not like that, half the girl I go out with a stupid and girly,"
"Oh is Chloe one of them?" I asked now sounding enraged.
Chad POV
I couldn't believe it, she was bringing Chloe into the conversation. Me and her were done ages ago.
"What's your problem? It's none of your business" I asked annoyed.
"It's every girls business to know that her boyfriend is caring, loving, supporting you know how would you like it if it was the other way around?" She challenged me.
"You know I've been through heartbreak and it's something a nice boyfriend wouldn't want their girlfriend to endure!"
"And as if I don't have problems of my own?"
"And that gives you an excuse to flounce around like an ass?"
Sonny tutted. I was too stunned for words. No one had spoken to me like that, and how dare she? Did she know I have difficulties like everyone else in this world? But I couldn't help feeling she was right.
"I hope that you make it up to her, really," Sonny got up to leave.
"You know sometimes it's not all about you," She said before walking out slowly.
I sunk back into the sofa sighing, so much for getting to know each other…
Sonny's POV
I left the room feeling extremely guilty. I just blurted the words out in a whir, not thinking straight. But it angered me, how Chad broke Chloe's heart, how many other girls lives has he destroyed? Maybe it was for the best I thought. I don't know.
-The next day-
Chad's POV
I woke up feeling very groggy, even though it was a Saturday; I still woke up at 7:30. So much for a lie in, all I could think about was yesterday. I had thought about what she said. And I decided it was time to fix my mistakes.
Sonny POV
-Later In the day-
I was sitting on my bed with a book in my hand. I decided today was going to be a lazy day. Only me and Chloe decided to stay indoors and laze about. There was a knock at the door, I reluctantly got up and shuffled over to the door.
It was Chad, and he was holding a bouquet of flowers. A bunch of pink tulips.
"Chad? What are doing here?" I asked confused
"Errm actually I need to see Chloe," He mumbled and looked down at the floor. Hey wait did he say Chloe? Oh my gosh he had finally come to his senses. Yes I am amazing! I raised my eyebrows at Chad, who was trying to avoid looking at me.
"Chloe you have a visitor!" I said in a singsong voice. "Oh and by the way, I'm sorry about yesterday, I kinda ruined it," I apologized sheepishly.
"Don't worry, I get it," Chad replied. Wow what's up with Chad lately?
"You know if you want me to call off the bet I can, and you can go back to being a conceited-" I decided to leave it at that.
"No it's fine, this isn't because of the bet, I forgot about that," He shrugged. My jaw must of dropped. Oh Chad Dylan Cooper being nice?
"Good,"
"Good,"
"Fine,"
"Fine,"
"So were good?"
"Oh were so good,"
Chloe arrived at the door and I mouthed Good Luck to Chad.
Chad's POV
I couldn't believe I was doing this, I was going to start being sappy. And it's all Sonny's fault. Chloe closed the door behind her and we stood in the empty hallway. I felt way out of my comfort zone, I awkwardly handed over the flowers to Chloe. She was standing there with a deadpan expression. She accepted the flowers.
"So why are you here? And what's with these?" She asked.
"Well I thought about what I did to you, and I know it's been so long," I sighed not able to get the right words out. Chloe crossed her arms looking bored.
"And I can't express how sorry I am," I pleaded. There was a dead silence. I looked into Chloe's eyes and hoped to see a sign, to show that she had forgiven me.
"So you thought you could waltz in with a bunch of flowers and it would all be better?" She sniffed. I didn't know what to say, all I can say is that I felt ashamed.
"Well, Chad, I forgive you," she smiled. I looked up, she looked happy. Really it was that easy? I was in shock. I gave her a surprised look, I couldn't believe it. I gingerly kissed her cheek. And walked back down the corridor.
"Oh and I almost forgot, tell Sonny to meet me in half an hour at my room," We both exchanged smiles although Chloe looked love-struck.
Wow she really digs me. But I'm not interested; I don't want her to get the wrong idea…
Sonny's POV
I sat on my bed pretending to read my book, even though I was waiting for Chloe to come back. I felt like doing a happy dance. I got the Chad Dylan Cooper to apologize, two weeks ago he was a conceited jerk I hated, and suddenly these days he's Mr Nice. And I'm pretty sure it wasn't because of the bet.
Chloe walked in looking flushed. I raised my eyebrows and nudged her. Trying to sound casual I asked her.
"So what did Chad want?" Pointing towards the tulips.
"I don't know Sonny, the weirdest thing just happened, Chad apologized to me!" She exclaimed.
"What? Never!" I replied sounding shocked.
"I know right, what's gotten into him lately, it seems a bit strange to apologize almost a year later," She bit her lip and looked at the flowers.
"Well you know people can change," Yeah I could hope, but we are in reality. We sat there in silence, I was thinking about my ex-boyfriend. I wonder if he would ever apologize to me. Yeah right, he was a finally broke the silence.
"Erm Chad said something about you meeting him in half an hour at his dorm room?"
"Oh yeah, guess it's time to really knuckle down on that script," I gave her a small smile. I glanced down at my watch. 20 minutes left, better get changed out of my pyjamas. Oh my gosh Chad saw me in my pyjamas. Oh well not like he cared… I got changed and tied my hair in a messy bun, grabbing my bag and saying goodbye to Chloe I walked out. So much for my lazy day…
As I walked down the corridor I gasped. If I was going to chad's room that meant I could see Jake, possibly. I stopped and had a mini panic attack. In my bag I got out my compact mirror and lip-gloss tube. Rasperry Ripple- my all-time favourite lip gloss. I applied it to my lips and hastily made my hair look presentable. In a natural, I'm-not-trying-to-impress way. After all the faffing about just too impress a guy I finally found myself in front of Chad's dorm room. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. I was relieved to find that Jake was the one to answer the door.
"Oh hi, looking for Chad again?" He asked leaning against the door frame, his muscles were on show. Sigh! I tried not to hallucinate.
"Unfortunately yeah," I giggled.
"Chad, Sonny's at the door!" Jake shouted towards his room. Yay! He remembered my name!
"I'm coming!" He replied. I waited for Chad to come, to my surprise Jake didn't leave. There was an akward atmosphere lingering in the air.
"So, Sonny can I ask you something?" He finally broke the silence and looked up into my eyes. I looked straight back into his feeling awestruck.
"Uh, yeah sure go ahead," I encouraged him.
"Well I was wondering, if you're okay with it, would you like to get a coffee with me?" He blurted out in one go. Wow! He just asked me out! On a coffee date! And I thought he was just going to be a long term crush! I felt a rush of excitement rush within me. Chad had appeared at the door. Suddenly I stopped dead in my tracks. I thought about Jake, how he broke my heart, and how I'd vowed I wouldn't have a relationship for the time being. I wanted to reject it, but it seemed rude. Who said It would turn into anything serious? I would just be really cautious.
"Actually don't worr-"
"No I'd love to, when are you free?" I interrupted him, this was a chance I wasn't gonna miss.
"Erm what about after you're finished with Chad?" He winked at me. I giggled like a little girl. Chad rolled his eyes and tapped at his watch.
"Yeah that's fine with me, I'll meet you outside the girls dorm?" He nodded and gave another wink before I said goodbye. Wow! I've got a date!
You're probably not happy about Sonny getting a date, but have an open mind and read on. :)
