Word Seven: Angel

Sonny's Point of View

You know, I always thought that the worst day of my life was when my mom got remarried. And it wasn't even because she got married, or who the guy was. It was the evil, sixteen year old girl that came along with him that I didn't like.

She's so mean. And get this, her name is Angel. Ha! She must have one of those names that are misnomers, 'cause she is far from angelic. I'm talking miles people.

She's a year younger than I am but she still acts like she's the know-it-all older stepsister and I'm the naïve younger sister. Ha! Talk to me after you've survived a year of being in Hollywood and being one of the paparazzi's #1 targets, Angel.

Anyway, the only good thing is that after my mom married Riley, my new stepdad, we were able to move into a bigger house that's actually closer to the studio. And, I have my own room which is (thank goodness!) on the other side of the house from Angel's room. Phew.

But yes, the worst day of my life was not the day she remarried. It was the day my mom and Riley decided that Angel and I needed to bond. So after a few discussions/arguments and Angel pulling out those stupid puppy-dog eyes of hers, I was then forced into taking Angel to the studio with me for the day. Oh great.

"Mom, Riley, don't you think it would be cruel to unleash the little teenaged monster on the world?" was something that I wanted to include in my argument but didn't because that wouldn't have gotten me far.

"Hurry up already. Gosh, you're so slow," Angel complained from the passenger seat.

I locked my jaw and focused on properly parking and not ripping the steering wheel off of… well, whatever the steering wheel's attached to.

Lousy backseat driver, I thought. No wonder the little Angel failed her driver's test three times.

"We're here," I announced, unenthusiastically.

"Finally! Senior citizens were passing you in the parking lot!" Angel scoffed. She hopped out of the car and slammed the door shut.

I loosened my grip on the steering wheel one finger at a time and got out of the car, absolutely dreading the day and abhorring my mother (for the time being) for making me lug the little brat around all day.

Calm down, Sonny, I tried thinking positively. Let's not look for the negatives today and who knows? Maybe today will turn out to be a great day.

"So, where does your loser show shoot?" Angel asked, starting ahead of me, without waiting for a response or "go ahead without me."

I growled quietly at her. I take that back. This day is going to suck! I can feel it.

I followed after her and was sure that I maneuvered in front of her before we walked through the main entrance. "I thought you told mom and Riley that you loved So Random," I said, not really that surprised that she lied. Little-

"Yeah, when I said I really wanted to see where So Random is taped, I meant I wanted to see where Mackenzie Falls is taped." Angel stuck out her bottom lip and put one finger on her pouty lip innocently. "Whoops."

"Whatever," I said, dismissively. "You can't see where Mackenzie Falls is taped anyway. Just So Random."

I heard her squeak in protest behind me before I could hear her converse sneakers pounding behind me to catch up. "What do you mean? That's the only reason I wanted to come."

"Too bad," I said in a sing-song voice.

When we finally got to the stage where we taped I held my arms out in a pathetic attempt at expressing "ta-da." "Well this is it. We tape everything-"

"I'm hungry," Angel said, out of the blue.

I rolled my eyes. Why was I even bothering making this a semi-nice experience for her? She didn't even care.

"Hey Sonny!" Grady called, walking towards me with the rest of my friends following behind him.

"What's up Sonny?" Nico greeted cheerfully. Normally I found his morning cheeriness nice. Now it was just annoying in the presence of Angel.

"Who's this?" Tawni asked bluntly, eyeing Angel critically.

"This is Angel, my new stepsister," I said, dully.

Zora stepped forward and stared Angel down for a second before declaring that Angel was "evil," and walked off. Finally, someone who was also on my side!

"Oh hey, well I'm Nico and this is Grady, Tawni, and that was Zora," Nico said, pointing at people as he named them off.

"Great. Sonny, I'm hungry. Do you want me to tell Connie and dad that you're trying to starve me?" Angel asked.

Even Tawni looked surprised at her attitude, which I think is kind of saying a lot considering how she can be.

"Of course not," I said in a fake sweet voice. "I guess I'm going on a fro yo run. You guys want anything?"

"Low fat and pink," Tawni stated. "And hold the gravel and dirt this time," she said, warning me with her eyes. Hehehe. The first time I went on a fro yo run I met Chad Dylan Cooper and accidentally dropped Tawni's yogurt in the parking lot.

"Chocolate," Nico and Grady both said simultaneously.

"Triple-A!" Zora called from somewhere in the vent system.

"Okay, pink and low-fat, two chocolates and triple-A batteries," I repeated. I turned to Angel. "What do you want?"

"No, I'm coming with you just in case Mackenzie Falls is hanging around the frozen yogurt machine," Angel said, bouncing on the tips of her sneakers at the thought.

I sighed. Oh great. "Alright, we'll be back."

We walked in silence to the Commissary. The whole way there I was hoping that the cast of Mackenzie Falls wasn't there. I didn't need Angel latching onto one of the cast members that I secretly liked.

Oh, gosh, no, I didn't mean, Chad! Don't be ridiculous! I was talking about this other guy, Mark. He's eighteen (the same age as Chad and pretty much everyone else on that show) so that made us only a year apart. Not bad. But he paid even less attention to me than Chad did, so, so far I hadn't even talked to him but one time. Oh well. I was staying optimistic and keeping Angel away from him.

Yeah, that plan was smashed to pieces when we walked through the Commissary doors and Chad, Mark, and some other guy I didn't know from Mackenzie Falls were standing next to the counter waiting for their lunch, I guessed.

Next to me, Angel squealed when she caught sight of them. It was obviously her first fan encounter.

The three boys turned around and when they looked to see who had made that odd chipmunk-like noise, Angel pointed at me, shamelessly. Chad smirked and bit his lip. He looked like he was trying not to laugh. Mark and the other guy just smiled. Perfect…

I rolled my eyes and shot Angel a glare before stalking across the room to the frozen yogurt machine. I could hear her trailing after me. I grabbed five cups and started with Grady and Nico's order first.

"Hey, Sonny," Chad greeted. "Happy to see me much?"

I rolled my eyes again and laughed shortly. "You wish."

"Yes, he does," I thought I heard Unknown Guy say before he cried out in pain. I glanced over my shoulder and he was rubbing his ribcage and glaring at Chad. Whatever…

"So who's your friend?" Mark asked.

I immediately set the half-full cup of chocolate frozen yogurt down and faced them. "She's actually not my friend. Angel is my new stepsister."

"Hi," Angel said, waving at them. My blood ran cold when I noticed she was looking right at Mark and Mark was staring right back at her. No!

"What is she on So Random too?" Chad asked me.

I was forced to tear my eyes away from Mark and look at Chad. "No, my mom and stepdad forced me to bring her here. I'm her tour guide/babysitter," I said, halfheartedly.

I could see her turn to give me look out of the corner of my eye. I met her gaze. "What?"

"You make it sound like I'm some two year old tourist or something. I've lived in LA my whole life. You just moved here a year ago." Gee thanks for stating the obvious, Angel.

I smiled and refrained from patting her on the head before I spoke. "Well you are a year younger than I am. And two years younger than them." I looked at the guys when I spoke the last part, mostly focusing on Mark.

She waved her hand through the air, dismissing my words. "Age is merely a number."

"I totally agree with you," Mark said.

I looked wistfully and disappointedly at Mark. Chad looked from Mark, to me, to Angel, and back to me.

"Yeah, I agree too," Chad said.

I turned my head, ready to glare at him for also saying this for Angela's benefit, only to be stopped in my tracks when I realized he was still looking at me. Okay, Chad was acting really weird. I'd chalk this up to the fact that he still wasn't off his cough medication he had to take last week.

"Yeah, well sometimes two years age difference is pushing it in my opinion," I stated, turning back to the machine. The chocolate yogurt I'd already gotten was starting to melt. I poured more chocolate yogurt on top of it and figured it was good enough.

"I don't think so," Angel said, sweetly.

"I'll bet you don't," I muttered under my breath. I don't think anyone heard me.

"So I'm not really hungry for lobster anymore guys," Mark said offhandedly. "Maybe I'll just go out and get something somewhere else."

"I hate frozen yogurt," Angel stated bluntly.

I rolled my eyes and picked up the tray with everyone's frozen yogurt on it.

"Want to come with me to lunch?" Mark asked Angel.

My mouth dropped open and I could feel the tray slip from fingers but I didn't hear a clatter when it should've hit the floor.

Angel's face lit up. "Sure. See ya, Sonny."

"Uh, wait, I'm supposed to show you around the studio and-"

"Yeah, somehow I'll live without the rest of one of your riveting tours." Angel and Mark walked off.

I suddenly felt something plastic nudge the side of my arm. Once again I tore my eyes away from Mark and the traitor and looked back to the other two. Chad was holding the tray I dropped in one hand and was holding it out for me to take.

I sighed. "Thanks." I took the tray from him and walked out of the Commissary to hunt up some triple-A batteries and get back to my friends.

I had been right. Absolutely the worst day ever… And it was all because of Angel.

Alright, so the next word, chocolate (yum), is going to be connected to this word also, and I'm almost done with it so it'll be out soon. Yay. Only 93 words to go. Hey, it's progress. Anyway, do the usual. Review, keep reading, blah blah blah. Thanks for reading. Bye! :)
