Just One Mistake
Chapter 9: Making New Friends and Finding Old Friends
Disclaimer: I do not own the Internet, i do not own Steve Marmel, (The creator of SWAC) i do not own a video camera, i do not own any celebrities, i do not own a set, and I do not live in America, SO I think that you can conclude that i DO NOT own Sonny With A Chance. Understand? Because i don't! I confused myself!
I am very shallow.
My head thinks that i did the right thing in yelling at Lucy but my conscience is yelling back at me, telling me off.
What do i do? Should i apologize, or should she apologize?
I was upside down on my couch, this was my thinking position. I heard a car's engine stop and the slam of a door. Great, whoever it is will come and ask me what is wrong, that is the last thing i want!
I hate people and their sympathy. Sympathy, ick.
The door closed and Grandma walked in the room, looking through her purse quickly. She sighed and looked up, stopping in her tracks. "Oh no, the position," she gasped.
I raised an eyebrow, "What?" I asked her.
"That position, something's wrong," she told me.
"Ya' think," i growled.
She pouted at me and moved her hands around in the air. "What on earth are you doing Grandma?" I asked as i flipped back the right way round and eyed her like she was a mad-man, or in her case a mad-woman.
"I am cleansing your aura," she told me, pulling her hands back to her sides and smiling optimistically.
I cracked a small smile and jumped off the couch. As I walked past her she lowered her eyebrows at me as if in deep thought. "What?" I asked her.
"It's about a boy," she told me quickly.
I turned to look at her and scoffed, "No, pfft, as if!" I smacked myself mentally when my voice went high.
"Sure, you keep telling yourself that," she walked off and into the kitchen and I shook my head. "GET READY FOR SCHOOL SONNY," she yelled when I was halfway up the stairs.
I was completely unaware that I had school today; I was too tired to think.
I threw on a cute dress and sandals then fixed my hair quickly and ran down stairs.
"Wow, you're in a rush. Mind the pedestrians," she commented as she followed me to the car.
I walked in the school gates and sighed heavily, everyone flooded in each direction hurrying to class.
I slowly made my way to my first class which was P.E.
We all sat down on the ground as the teacher did the roll, I glanced over at Lucy, and she was sitting next to someone with long orange hair.
I frowned down at the ground and looked at my anklet that was still on my ankle. I don't think I had ever taken it off since he gave it to me. I reached down and unhooked it.
It was a beautiful charm, I couldn't ask for more.
"Okay, I need everyone in pairs for this activity, so hurry up and find pairs!" The teacher called over the top of all the noise.
Everyone rushed and grabbed someone else as a partner and I glanced again at Lucy, she had been looking at me and as I looked she looked away. I sighed heavily and looked down at the anklet in my hands.
Looking at it reminded me of home, of Chad. I wondered how much it would've cost and why he had given it to me... because he loved me.
So why was I mad at Lucy when I found out she was dating my ex?
I was suddenly snapped out of thought by someone tapping me on the shoulder. "Sonny?" She asked as she looked down at me.
"Yeah?"
"Do you want to be partners?" She asked me with a small smile.
I nodded and patted the ground next to me, "Sure, have a seat."
She sat down next to me and her smile grew as she saw me with the anklet in my hands. "Wow that's gorgeous," she commented.
I nodded, "Yeah it is. It was a present."
She giggled, "From your boyfriend?" She asked with a wider smile.
"Uh, well not really. What we have is..." I bit my lip and shrugged, "Actually I have no idea what you call it."
"What's his name?"
"Chad," I told her as she leant over to admire it.
"That's funny," she laughed, "He has the same initials as Chad Dylan Cooper."
"That's because it is Chad Dylan Cooper," I told her as her face lit up.
"Shut up!" She squealed and the teacher shushed her. She lowered her voice, "Chad Dylan Cooper?" She asked me as she covered her mouth with her hands.
"Yes, I'm Sonny Munroe and he's Chad Dylan Cooper, I thought everyone knew there was a little something going on there."
"I don't really read about gossip because I don't believe it. I can't believe that was true! Tween Weekly said you two were the newest couple to sweep the world but I didn't believe it! Oh my gosh this is so cool! Could I meet him?"
I frowned again at the ground.
"Did I say something wrong?" She asked me, putting a hand on my arm concernedly.
"Ah, no...."
"No to what?"
"I don't know!" I whined as tears fell from my eyes.
"Sonny! Oh Sonny I am sorry!"
"It's okay, you didn't know," I told her, sniffing pathetically.
"I don't know actually!"
I wiped away the tears from my face and took a deep breath, "Well, he gave me this anklet as a token of his love. And yes that sounded very cheesy. But he is very cheesy," I paused and took another breath. "He gave it to me because I was leaving Hollywood, for I was in an accident and my dad thinks it would be better if I was out of the Hollywood lifestyle and back here in stupid, old Wisconsin."
She frowned at me sympathetically. "Aww, poor you," she said as she rubbed my arm. "That must have been terrible."
"It was."
I held the anklet to my heart and hooked it back on my ankle.
"Oh wow, I realised I didn't introduce myself," she laughed to herself. "I'm Lauren." She told me as she extended her arm to me.
"Sonny, but I guess you knew that," I told her whilst shaking her hand.
"Yeah I did, I love So Random!"
"Doesn't everyone," I muttered under my breath.
"So, are we going to do it or what?" She asked me as she stood up and held out her hand.
"Do what?" She frowned and I looked around, "Oh right, PE, I forgot. School, right."
She giggled and helped me up.
"So is he a good kisser?" She asked me as we grabbed a ball.
"Who?"
"Chad of course! Wow, it's like someone wiped your mind clean of everything!"
I nodded, "Uh, right, yeah he's okay."
"Okay?"
"Oh Sorry Lauren, I am just not over the whole moving issue."
"No, this is something else. You're upset and angry at someone else other than your dad..." she scratched her chin and kicked the ball to me.
"It's Lucy," I told her as I glance at Lucy and sighed.
"What happened?"
"We were best friends even before I was famous and yesterday we had a fight -"
She cut me off, "Something about a boy. And not Chad?"
"Well, sort of both I guess. She's dating my ex and I am dating, well sort of dating Chad and we made a pact about how we won't be in contact of any sort with Chad. But she crossed the dating the best friend's ex rule!"
"Ouch, seems like you're in a pickle there," she bit her lip and I kicked the ball back to her. "I think what she did was worse."
"I thought that too but she's just so stubborn. She said a pact was a pact! I mean c'mon! She's dating my ex!" I growled and folded my arms.
"Yeah. But you'll get over it soon enough," she told me. "Everyone does."
"Yeah I know that, all friendships end up great in the end. But how can I forgive her?"
"Give it time Sonny, something will come to you."
By the end of the day I had told Lauren almost everything about my life, since I was born since today and I didn't know much about her other than she's blonde, talkative and used to do gymnastics.
Now I was sitting at home on my bed, staring at the ceiling.
I don't need Lucy. I was glad that I met Lauren though or else I would have remained friendless.
I heard a loud thump from down stairs so I jumped off my bed, swung the door open and ran down.
I saw my grandma on the ground in my old skates. "Grandma?" I asked as I walked up to her smiling.
"Oh hey Sonny, what up dog?" She asked in a gangster kind of way.
"Dog? What up? Are you okay?" I asked her and she got up and brushed the dirt off her clothes.
"Yeah she's fine! Just because your granny aint hip aint mean she lost her game!" She said as she reached down and put a cap on her head sidewards.
"You're not gangster," I told her.
"Shut your trap! I'm more gangster than you think!"
"Please stop," I laughed. "Please don't pretend you're a rapping granny."
She pulled the cap down, "Fine," she mumbled under her breath.
"So what's with all this?" I asked her, referring to the baggy shorts and the daggy jacket she was wearing.
"I thought if I dressed hip I would understand why you were upset," she told me.
"And how's that working for you?"
She sighed, "Yeah, not very well actually."
"Anyway grandma, it doesn't matter why I am upset," I told her as I picked up my skates and put them back in the box she found them in. "You're not going to find out."
"But sweetheart I just want to know. Can't you let your innocent, old, sweet, caring, kind grandma know?" She battered her eyelashes at me and I let out a quiet chuckle.
"You know you don't act your age," I informed her.
"Yup, all of the other grandma's wear silly clothes and complain about back pains, I am different," she told me as I followed her into the kitchen.
"Is that why I found a skateboarding award in a box near my room from last year?" I asked her and she nodded. "Grandma you're too old for that stuff!"
"I may look old but I am a child inside."
I was fixing the strings on my guitar when grandma walked in. "Hey," she smiled.
I nodded and set it aside as she sat down next to me. "You seem so miserable dear, is there anything I can do for you?" She asks me as she lifted my chin up with her index finger.
"The only thing you can do is let me go home," I comment silently under my breath.
"Honey, there must be something you enjoy about here," she says with a frown on her face. "How about Lucy?"
I give her a cold glare and she nods, "Ah I see, you're in the non-talking faze. Don't worry I went through that a lot at your age."
"Yeah but I know friends always make up. Maybe I don't want to be friends with her again."
She sighed, "Mmmm."
"Where's dad?" I asked her.
"Out buying materials to fix the hole in the roof," she told me.
"There's a hole?"
"Yes, it's in the bathroom." She stood up. "So I guess I'll leave you then."
"Sure," I sighed.
"Goodnight sweetheart."
I waved her off and she exited without another word, I walked to my dresser and opened the top draw, pulling out my pyjamas.
I walked into the bathroom and pulled out my tooth brush, quickly brushing it and pulling on my pyjamas, throwing them across the room. I pulled my brush through my hair and put my things under the basin. Then I walked out and pulled back the covers.
Another boring day had gone.
I turned the light off and laid back in my bed. Just as I was falling to sleep there was a tapping at my window.
I looked around the room at the darkness and my eyes fell on my window.
There was more tapping on it so I pulled the covers back and slowly made my way to it. I took a slow, calm breath and opened it, looking down at the ground.
"Sonny!" The voice yelled.
I rubbed my eyes and caught a glimpse of blonde hair. "Uh?" I said as I peeked into the darkness.
I'm ending it suddenly. I bet you know who it is. And there you go Sonny Days, I have updated, you're welcome. =D
Don't forget to review!!! =D
