Once again, I had absolutely no idea where we were off to. The only thing Marshall would tell us is that the girls are in for something of their dreams and that all males and the bus should invest in some earplugs. As I thought about this, this didn't help much: there was still the replica of the Titanic that I had heard was in Florida, Niagra Falls, McKenzie Falls wouldn't be too romantic- I really hoped we weren't going there.
I sighed and looked around the bus. Everyone was talking and having a good time, with occasional glances in my direction- I assumed that this was along with the debate of whatever had happened this morning about who was innocent- me, Chad, or neither. I rolled my eyes at this. Stupid, comfy, warm Chad.
For breakfast we had eaten the leftover doughnuts. I couldn't help but smile as Chad ate his doughnut. I giggled at how adorable he looked- taking a bite into a powdered doughnut and then looking up at me with a white sugar mustache. I giggled louder, as his brow wrinkled and he looked at me- annoyed.
"Ch- Chad," I said between laughs as I grabbed a spoon from in front of me and handed it to him. He looked at the reflection and his eyes widened- I snickered at his shocked expression. He quickly took the sleeve of his long-sleeved cotton shirt and wiped his face with it, now leaving a single spot on his baby-blue long sleeved shirt- he must have know how amazing that color looked on him. He reminded me of The Cat In The Hat, as the spot moved from his face to his clothes and who knew how long it would go before it had finally disappeared.
I watched as he carefully ate the rest of the doughnut, before going to the restroom and getting dressed. I threw on a pair of black skinny jeans, and a Tridark V-neck T-shirt that said "Bite Me." I straightened my hair and put on my make-up before walking back into the main section of the bus. I walked to Marshall and asked him if we should start preparing or practicing for the sketches.
"I told you, Sonny, no working. You have three days of vacation." He began, saying it very matter-of-factly. "Now, go sit down and talk to Nico or Grady, bond with your buddy, maybe you can even make friends with the other actors from Mackenzie Falls. I know they'd all love to talk to you. I think Nico and Grady miss you; you're all they've been talking about all day."
I sighed and rolled my eyes as I walked toward Nico and Grady- I wasn't rolling my eyes at Marshall, but at what he had said.
"Regis, Kelly!" I called them out of they're conversations with some Mackenzie Falls girls and they looked at me with a intense look in their eyes. "Why don't you, find another headline for your morning news." I said, shaking my head for emphasis.
"Why don't you stop sleeping with the enemy!" Grady shouted. I looked from him, to the girl next to him, and then back to him, rolling my eyes.
"Sonny, it's one thing to like that jerk- but to sleep with him…" Nico mused.
"Guys! It's not that big of a deal! I just fell asleep on him!"
"Did you, Sonny; did you really?" Grady added.
"Stop using his lines!" I shouted frantically before I even realized what I had said.
"Woah," Nico's eyes widened at me. "Tip-toe across the subject of Sonny's relationships, G-man. Evidently, Sonny takes things involving her men a little too seriously." He muttered.
"There isn't anything going on between me and Chad." I breathed through my teeth- I couldn't remember the last time that I had been this mad at anyone. "And if there is then it's NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" I practically screamed in there faces, when I saw their eyes lighting-up with the spark of a comeback.
"Oh, so now there is something between you two, right? Something magical happened in the past two minutes that you weren't his girlfriend when this conversation started, but now you are, right?!" Grady said harshly like I was annoying them or something. Oh, he had it coming-
"FINE, THEN!" I shouted, not caring about everyone who was staring at me, "I AM DATING CHAD!" I took a couple of deep breaths. "That's what you wanted to hear, right." I muttered it to them- it was poison and I was waiting for it to take over them.
I jumped a little as I felt an arm wrap around my waist, "Since when?" A soft whisper fluttered into my ear, but was soon drowned-out by a racing heart.
Panicking, I quickly turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him down to me and myself up to him. Our cheeks brushed as I whispered into his ear "Since I needed you to be." I brushed his cheek with my lips- I needed it to look like I was doing something other than whispering something suspicious to Chad- as I pulled away to see how he was accepting the fact that we were 'dating' again.
[Chad]
I was walking over to see why exactly Sonny was yelling at the Randoms- besides the fact that we had woke-up together, there seemed to be nothing to argue about, and Sonny wouldn't seriously argue over something as simple as that. I grinned as I saw her yelling at them, wondering if this was what it looked like when we fought. I had vaguely heard bits and pieces of the argument.
"FINE THEN!" She was yelling at them and everyone was staring, even their clueless director turned around and gaped at Sonny's anger. "I AM DATING TO CHAD!" I smiled. She was dat- What?
My heart was pounding as I quickly walked over to her. She was angrily muttering something too low for me to get. I wrapped my arm around her and she jumped a little bit. Suppressing a smile, I leaned toward her. Inches away from her face and struggling to ignore the beautiful, tropical smell of her hair I whispered, "Since when?" The Randoms were entirely oblivious to what I had said- that was good.
Suddenly, she was turning around and wrapping her arms around me, pulling herself close to me. Her skin burned coolly upon the back of my neck, as she pulled her face closer to mine. My mind went blank. Here was the most amazing girl and was- was she going to kiss me? No- no. I couldn't comprehend a thing with my stomach doing flips.
"Since I needed you to be." She said- too low for anyone but me to hear. Her skin was on mine and then- then her lips? An awkward feeling coursed through me. I struggled not to let my hormones take control of my mind. Thankfully, she had drawn her face from mine and was probing me with curious eyes. Her eyes locked onto mine and she gave me this 'pretty-please' look, the kind a five-year-old girl gives her Daddy when she really wants to keep the puppy.
I smiled and rolled my eyes- Fine. I mean, who wouldn't say yes to an amazing girl who wanted you to be her boyfriend- I mean the touching, the hugging, the flirting, and the kissing- you might be able to fake a boyfriend, but you couldn't fake the relationship.
Just then I saw Rico and Gary staring at us, along with those other chicks from our set who weren't important. "You too, sweetie." That was the only thing that wouldn't make this suspicious- or at least anything in which they would ask for the play-by-play of our conversation. I pressed my lips quickly to the tip of her nose to make it look more real. Ignoring the spark that coursed through my veins, I looked at Sonny whose face was turning a subtle shade of pink.
"Not in front of the cast-" she said nervously, and loudly, making sure the Randoms knew not to follow as she tugged my hand and pulled me in the direction of the kitchen. I smiled at the guys and walked away with her.
[Sonny]
I had pulled Chad to the kitchen and explained the whole situation and everything to him, which was kind of hard because I still didn't know why I had 'fessed-up' to our relationship in the first place- the only thing I knew is that if he would accept it, and hug me and hold me and kiss me, then there was no way that I would want it to stop anytime soon.
After we had finished talking, we walked over to the couch again. I was listening to music on my I-pod and Chad was surfing the internet on his phone. At first it was awkward, until he texted me, 'The Randoms are staring.' So we had given them a little bit of a performance resulting in me leaning into Chad, who had his arm around me, with one headphone in his ear and one in mine- listening to my music together while looking-up random things on his phone. It was fun.
"We're here!" Marshall called from the front of the bus. "Everyone come outside." Marshall said, turning to head off of the bus and placing earplugs in his ears.
Everyone filed out of the bus and into some muddy grass off the side of a road. I chuckled quietly as I heard Chad complain something about his shoes getting dirty, then wrapped my arms around him for a quick hug. It just felt so natural.
"Everybody, plug your ears." I looked up to see Marshall who still had his ears plugged and was shouting into his megaphone.
I heard a piercing scream so powerful that I became so worried that tears were beginning to swell in my eyes; Tawni was embracing her Mackenzie Falls as she dramatically screamed until she ran out of breath. Panting and gasping, she pointed behind Marshall and toward a sign. The head cheerleader lead all of us girls as the rest of us screamed along with her, the sound of bloody murder echoing through the mess of green plants and trees. The sign read, 'THE CITY OF FORKS WELCOMES YOU.'
Even after our scream had died out, every female was still going into an panicked-excitement mode. Tawni and Portlyn were holding each other, jumping, screaming and crying at the same time. Chloe was practically hyperventilating. Zora was holding back a little girl who was screaming, "I NEED TO GO CELEBRATE THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY LIFE WITH MY FUTURE HUSBAND!"
I looked up to see a wincing and slightly frightened Chad, and I hugged him as tight as I could, taking all my excitement out on him. I was sure none of the cast was watching as Chad returned my embrace and we stood there, wrapped in each other's arms, in a picture-perfect scene right in the city of teenage romance.
So, I hope you like it. Thanks again for the idea of the location, Kelsey! I was going to have them actually have the whole day in the chapter but I got too wrapped-up in Sonny/Chad drama and it began to get quite long, so I thought this was a good stopping point. I will most definitely have them exploring the city and get into more fun things in the next chapter! I'm really in the typing mood, so you can look forward to the next chapter soon, thanks, again!
