Author note :

It took me longer than usual to write this chapter, it's just that with the olimpic games I was a lot in front of my TV, so I didn't write much.

I hope you still like the story, but I would really like to hear what you think about it.

For those who are waiting to see Chad's family it will probably be in chapter 9 but there might be a little at the end of the next chapter.


Chapter 7 : Oh, come on. Again ?

Sonny's POV :

I would have thought that the ride to the studio would have been a little bit more alive after last night, but it was like nothing had happened.

"Why aren't we talking ?" I asked when I got fed up with the silence. It's not like we had nothing to talk about.

"Because I'm driving, but mostly because I don't have anything to tell you."

"Really Chad ? Do you really ?" His face turned red with anger. "Oops" I said, putting both of my hands over my mouth. I didn't want to fight with him after we had managed to get along last night.

"Yeah, like you didn't do it on purpose." He answered, turning his attention back to the road, after he gave me a dark glare.

The rest of our commute to the studio was silent apart from the music playing. I wanted to apologize, but after his reaction I thought he wouldn't believe me, even if I was sincere. So I didn't. When we got to the studio, we went over our sets, without talking to each other.

There were no signs of Tawni in our dressing room, so I decided to go to the prop house to see if any of my cast mates were there. I got a shock when I saw Nico and Grady lashed together. I went over them to release them.

"Who did this to you ? Is it Chad ?" I asked and then thought about it. Chad came with me to the studio he couldn't have had the time to do this.

"No, but I'm pretty sure he has something to do with this." Nico said when Tawni entered the room, her arms in front of her and Zora behind her.

It's then that I noticed tears on her cheeks and that her eyes were red. "Is she … crying ?" I asked Zora when Tawni sat on the couch.

"No, she's not crying, someone put pepper-spray in her mascara. She's been like that since then."

"If I see this little drama actor, I swear I'm going to kill him." Tawni said.

Zora put her hands on her shoulders "Don't worry Tawni I got it covered for you, they are in a much worse situation than -" She got cut by the screaming coming from the hallway. Chad appeared in the door frame only seconds after the screaming ended, clearly out of breath.

"Munroe !!" Boy he was furious "What have you done to my set ?" he asked coming over me. "I thought we couldn't play pranks on each other." Is he stupid ?Like I would have had time to do anything.

"Chad I didn't do anything to -"

"Oh save it, would you. I know it's you. Mr Condor will hear about this, believe me" He said pointing a finger at me. This was enough to get me angry.

"Oh, so all of a sudden, you're a saint, Chad ? For your information, I found Nico and Grady lashed together when I got here, and Tawni can barely see because of you !" Chad seemed a little shocked to hear me yell at him.

Tawni got up and tried to come our way but she stumbled over the coffee table. "Sonny , would you do me a favor and kill him for me ?" She asked when she got up. Chad laughed.

"Chad, that's not funny ! What if she can't see anymore ?" Chad shot me a dark glare and was about to answer my question, certainly with something not nice at all, when we were called to Mr Condor's office. Again.

"I'm starting to become sick of the two of you." he told us when we entered his office "Can't you get along for a week ?"

"But Mr Condor, I didn't do anything, it's all Sonny's fault." What ? My fault, I didn't do anything.

"Are you stupid Chad ? I got here at the same time you did ! You drove with me here !"

"The two of you just stop it ! Would you act your age and not your shoe size." Once he got our attention he put his hands on his desk. "I know that none of you done this, well not him or herself at least, but I was clear about this earlier." What, he can't suspend us, well me, I didn't do anything. "You'll have to live together for three months."

"What ?" Chad and I asked at the same time. I would rather be suspended than to live with him for three months, and looking at his expression he must have felt the same way.

"But Mr Condor -" Chad tried to protest.

"No. until your two shows learn to live together, I will add a month each time I call the two of you in my office. Now go, and tell your cast mates to stop this. We're not in some sort of zoo."

"This is all your all your fault." Chad told me once we were outside Mr Condor's office. "Can't you keep your mouth shut once in a while ? I've always been like this with them and he never called me in his office, but since you came here, I'm the bad guy of the studio."

"Keep my mouth shut ? I want to live with you as much as you want to live with me !" And then I went to the prop house, without listening to what he was telling me.

When I reached the prop house I saw Tawni stretched out on the couch, a wet towel on her eyes. "Tawni, how are you felling ?" I asked.

"I've been better, but I can almost see the colors properly now." she said, but when she removed the towel from her eyes, they were even redder than when I left. "Marshall wants me to see a doctor so my mom is coming to get me." This was my last chance to talk to them at the same time.

Once Nico, Grady and Zora came into the prop house, I could tell them the bad news. "Look guys, I know you were trying to help me this morning, but because of all this I got in even more trouble. Mr Condor has added a month to our punishment and will keep adding months until everyone stops to play pranks on the other show." As I told them that, their faces turned into an expression of horror.

"What ?" Zora almost screamed. "So, it means I can't use my food launcher on them ?" She asked me with sad eyes.

"Unfortunately, yes."

"But how are we supposed to defend ourselves against those … those … them ? It's not like Chad and his …, well cast mates, for lack of a better word, will stop their pranks." Nico said, and he king of had a point. I mean apart from the fact that Chad and I would be stuck together for much longer that we had thought, he would clearly enjoy messing with us.

"Look, I know it's going to be hard, but I've already been in trouble for playing his game once, I had my share, OK ? So please, don't do any thing, three months is enough." If I have to live with him for more than three months I might do something really stupid.

"Well I can do nothing but try. I can't promise I won't throw any kind of food their way in the next three months." Zora said. Well at least she's willing to try. I'm not sure Nico and Grady would be willing to do like her. It's kind of understandable though, Chad is always making fun of them.

I turned to look at Nico and Grady. "Guys ?" please just say yes, please say yes. I don't want to spend the rest of my life living with Chad. "Please ?"

"No way !" Nico said. "I won't let him have his way ! That's not fair, he's always messing with us ! Why do we have to be the first to stop anyway ?"

"They have to stop too, Nico, and if it makes you feel better you can always mess with them when all this is over. So please, just stop for now." Why can't they understand that I'm the one who has to deal with this afterward, I'm the one who has to live with Chad Dylan freaking Copper ! It certainly has good sides, when Drama boy is nice, not when he's mad about something I didn't even do.

"Can we decorate their set like Narnia ?" Grady asked, and everyone turned to stare at him. Seriously ? This guy is totally obsessed with this movie.

"If you want" I said, unsure of the tone I was supposed to use. Well you have to admit, it's not something you hear everyday. "As long as you wait till I'm not trapped with Chad anymore."

"Yeah ! " He said jumping up and down. When he saw that Nico wasn't jumping with him, he stopped. "Oh come on, It's Narnia ! Narnia !" Nico didn't show any reactions.

"Nico, please. It doesn't have to be Narnia. Do what you want. I'm just asking for a truce here, not for permanent peace."

"OK. But only because it's for your sake."

"Thank you." I turned to Tawny who was still stretched out on the couch. "Tawni ?"

"Oh, I'm far too pretty to play their games." She said waving one of her hands in the air. "And I won't be here for, at least the end of the week so you don't really have to worry about me."

"Tawny, it's the end of the week." I told her "We're on Friday."

"Oh. Well scratch the last part then."

Now that the problem was solved, I reminded of what Zora had said when she brought Tawni to the prop house. "Zora, what have you done to Chad's cast ? Just so to know."

"Oh, nothing that bad. We just took all their furniture, and if I might say, some pieces were pretty heavy."

Wow, they took everything out of their set ? No wonder why Chad was so mad. How could he go on with his life when there weren't any mirrors to watch himself ? He chose this time to enter. Doesn't he have his own set ?

"OK, where are they ?" He asked me. Gosh he has a thick skull, or maybe a hearing problem.

"I. Don't. Know." I said separating each word. "I didn't knew what they had done until thirty seconds ago." Why can't he believe me ?

"Yeah, you already tried this one on me Munroe. So where are they ?" He asked.

"Zora, tell him where you put their furniture, please." I really didn't want to fight with him about that. If he wants to be stubborn, I'll let him be.

Zora got up and Chad followed her outside.

After a little while, Tawni went back to her place with her mother and Nico and Grady went to the cafeteria. The day was almost over but with all the furniture they have to put back in their set, I guessed I had still a little time till Chad would come to go back to my house, so I watched TV.

"Bye Sonny." Zora told me when she left, Nico and Grady with her.

It was almost six PM when I started to get bored, so I decided to go and get Chad. To my surprise , the set was empty of people, the furniture was back in place.

"Chad ?" I called, making my way to his dressing room. No answer. I knocked on his door, but again no one answered. So I tried to get in, but the door was locked.

"He left an hour ago." Someone behind me said. I turned around and found Portlyn leaning against the wall.

"What ? He left without me ?" I couldn't believe it, how could he do this to me ?

"Yeah, he was mad so he left." she said simply. So because drama boy is mad he earns the right to left me here. I was about to ask her if she was serious when I noticed she had left. Great, so now I'm alone and I have to get home before my parents or I'll be grounded for the rest of my life.

When I got out of the studio, it started raining. Great, this just made this day the worst day ever. I started to make my way to the sidewalk when my phone started ringing. The caller ID said it was my mom. Great.

"Sonny ?" She asked.

"Yes, mom. It's me." She's calling my phone. Who else would it be ?

"Are you home yet ?"

"No. I'm still at the studio." No need to tell her that Chad left me here, it would make thing worse. "Why ?"

"Just so to know. I'm not done here yet and your father has a meeting, so don't wait for us to eat. OK ?"

"Yeah, sure."

When I hung up my phone, I was already soaked and the rain was now pouring down. So I started to make my way back to my house."


Chad's POV :

Portlyn had just called me to tell me that Sonny was on her way and I was having a hard time trying not to laugh.

"Why are you smiling, Chad ?" Lena asked me.

"Oh, no, for nothing." I was prepared for her to push me but she just let it go. This girl can't be Sonny's sister. They're nothing alike. Sonny would never let this go.

I had decided to avenge myself. We weren't supposed t play pranks on each other and she had played a prank on me today. She was always saying that she didn't do anything but I'm sure it was her idea. Sure she wouldn't have had the time to do it, but only her could have had that idea.

So I left her at the studio, and Portlyn just told me Sonny had decided to come back by herself. It was raining outside, and this made my day. Too bad I didn't bring a camera with me because the picture is going to be hilarious.

"Why didn't Sonny came home with you already ?" Lena asked me, her eyes glued to the screen.

"She was still working when I left. She told me Tawni would give her a ride home." Well OK this was a lie, but she wouldn't know if I was lying. She believes everything I tell her.

I looked at my watch one more time, it's been twenty minutes since Portlyn had called me, so Sonny would be here soon. I had to get rid of Lena.

"Don't you have homework or something?" I asked, hoping it would work.

"Yeah but I still have time, It's not even seven yet." Shoot. I have to find something else.

"I think your grandmother Is calling you." I said my fingers crossed.

"Really ? I didn't hear her. This show is so great." She said, getting up. "Thanks for telling me." Then she went upstairs.

Just then, Sonny entered. She was completely drenched with rain. Her hair was dripping, and her mascara was running. I was right, it was hilarious. She shot me a dark glare and went upstairs.

Her reaction, well more her lack of reaction, surprised me. I would have thought she would yell at me first thing after she opened the door, but no, I only got a dark glare. That's not even funny.

When she got downstairs, she gave me another glare, but didn't say anything. She was wearing dry clothes but her hair was still wet.

Her mother came back soon after. "Hi everyone !" Then she noticed Sonny's hair. "Sonny, why is your hair wet ?" Oh, shit, I'm in trouble.

A smile appeared on Sonny's face. "I took a shower and I didn't dry them." she answered. She took some plates and went to the dinning room. When she was next to me she whispered. " Don't worry, you'll get suspended soon enough Cooper."


Sonny's POV :

He's afraid. I know he's afraid I'll tell someone what he did tonight, but he's safe till Monday morning. He is so going to be suspended.

I didn't see the point of telling my mother because she couldn't really do anything to Chad, she's not his mother, thank god for that. So I just lied, and my voice didn't gave me away, that was a first.

Everything went as planned until Sunday morning , when I woke up with the worst headache ever. When I went downstairs to take my breakfast, my mother saw that something was wrong.

"Are you OK sweetie ?" She asked me. I knew that lying wouldn't save me this time, so I told her the truth.

"I just have a headache, It's nothing." She almost ran to put her hand on my forehead.

"Oh my god Sonny -" She stopped and ran out of the kitchen, I followed her. When she ran through the living room, everyone looked at her.

"Connie ?" My father asked her. "What's wrong ?"

"Sonny is sick !!" She almost yelled. That's when I started to cough. "See ? I told you !!" When I turned to Chad, I saw that his face was paler than usual.

"Well, I'm not surprised " My grandmother said. "What did you expect Allison ? You came home completely drenched two days ago."

"What ? But I thought you came back here with Chad." My mother said clearly angry. Chad grew even paler than he was minutes ago. "Why didn't you came back with Chad, Sonny ?" She asked me. When I was about to come up with a lie she said "Allison Munroe, don't even try to lie to me."

"Well … I uh, ..." I tried to say something but nothing came out of my mouth. My mother turned to Chad.

"Why did my daughter had to walk home under the pouring rain, Chad ?" She asked him, anger clear in her voice. I didn't thought he would answer but he did.

"I left her at the studio because I was mad." His answer didn't please my mother.

"You left her there ?" She yelled making my headache worse than it already was. "I can't believe it. Because you were mad ?"

"I'm sorry Mrs Munroe, I didn't think -" He tried to apologize but my mom cut him. Apparently she didn't know how hard it was to have an apology from Chad.

"Of course , you didn't thought. Who on Earth would do something like that if he or she had thought about it first ?" She continued to yell. I went by her side.

"Mom, look calm down -" I tried.

"Calm down ? Did you hear that ?" She asked my father. "She wants me to calm down when my baby is sick -" She cut her sentence there and looked at me apologetically. "Oh Sorry honey, I forgot about your headache."

"It's OK" she put her hands on my shoulders and led me to the stairs.

"Let's get you to bed. I'll call the doctor." the she turned to Chad. "I'm not done with you, young man." She told him.


I hope you liked it.
