Sonny with a Chance of Camping
Chapter Ten (Chad's Point of View)
Is it just me or has Sonny been acting really strange around me since she first woke up? I mean at least she could have started fighting with me when we were instructed to pick an event to begin training with…
"That one looks fun." Sonny had said, pointing to canoe racing.
I scoffed. "If I get one inch of my body wet, I'm calling the jet to come pick me up."
Normally Sonny would shoot back a remark like: "you are such an egotistical jerk"
or "conceited jerk face" or something of that essence. Then I would shoot something back and we would continue with the "fines" and the "goods" until she rolls her eyes and walks away. However, today was unfamiliarly different.
I remembered back to my comment to her in the tent this morning: "Is Sonny sunny gone today?" and am starting to think she is gone.
After looking over the activities a couple more times, we decided on a three-legged race. I normally would object to such a thing as being tied to someone else, but I gave in to Sonny's request.
"Ow." She said as I tied the rope around her leg and mine.
"This is what you picked, Munroe. Might as well enjoy this close time with me." I smirked at her, and she just turned away. Something is up. She never turns away from me when I challenge her like that.
"How are we supposed to walk like this let alone run?" Sonny asked, tugging at her leg, and still not making eye contact.
"Uh…" I got distracted as I watched her. This is not the Sonny I know. "Oh uh well we just have to run at the same pace and move our legs at the same time. Who are we competing against again?" I asked.
"Lacy and Zora." She replied, and waved at the short Random and the blonde drama co-star. They waved back and tried to move to the starting line. The first event was about to begin.
"Great. They have the youth advantage." I said, trying to confuse Sonny enough for her to look at me.
"The what?" she asked, still staring at the rope and our legs. Darn.
"They are younger and faster than us, they have an advantage… sort of." I explained.
This tension and awkwardness was killing me! No girl has ever resisted Chad Dylan Cooper for this long, especially not Sonny!
"We should go to the starting line. Our competition has already made it there. We want to win this mystery prize, don't we?" Ugh Sonny just look at me or at least tell me why you aren't looking at me!
"Yeah we should." She agreed and we tried to move ourselves to the lineup 3 feet away. "Left legs first." She said, and we moved our free legs.
"Right legs." I instructed, and we managed to make it next to Zora and Lacy.
"How did walking go for you?" Zora asked, giggling to Sonny and Lacy. Nice to know those two are getting along.
"Eh, it's a challenge." Sonny giggled slightly back and sighed.
Now I have determined it's just me she isn't making eye contact with.
"Good luck." Lacy smiled and Sonny did the same.
I need to get her to laugh at me or something! N-not that I care about her or anything…
