Chapter 10-Popular

Sonny's POV

I sit in the library, staring at a computer screen, and I smile. My videos already have almost 500,000 hits! That's got to be good, right? I wouldn't be surprised if So Random hadn't seen those videos, ha, like So Random, the biggest comedy show in America, would discover me.

I see the librarian walk over and switch the screen to an essay about American History, before swapping it over again after she leaves. I suddenly feel a tap on my shoulder, and I jump.

"I was working! I swear!" I say, and I hear a familiar laugh behind me.

"You're funny, Munroe."

Chad sits in the chair next to me with a smug grin.

"Hey Chad," I sigh, sitting back down, "So, how's it going?"

"Pretty good." He smiles. I haven't seen him since this morning, after some of the popular kids from the basketball team asked him to hang out with them, annoying Derek…and me.

"So, you have your first game tomorrow!" I smile, and he nods.

"Should be cool." He says, "And if we win, Derek's throwing a party for the team at his house. Sound great, right?"

"Yeah…" I say slowly, "But, I thought you hated Derek? That's one of the few things I like about you."

Chad laughs, rolling his eyes a little, and I smile.

"I do hate Derek," He says, "As much as you do. But, I don't know, it'll be cool to go to a party. I haven't been to one since I left Hollywood."

"I guess you need to be seen, right?" I ask, laughing. Celebrities do need that publicity, well, celebrities like Chad do anyway.

"Well, good luck for tomorrow anyway," I say, "I wish I could see it."

I see the smile on Chad's face disappear. "You're…not coming?"

I sigh, "I might, I just don't know if I'll be able to make it."

He sighs, shaking his head, "Well, at least try. It could be fun seeing you there." He winks in that incredibly cocky way, getting up, before I stop him.

"Yeah?" He asks, and I sigh.

"Care to join me?" I ask, and he sits back in the seat.

"What you doing?" He asks, and I show him my video status. "Wow," He smiles, "That's one popular video, and I should know."

"You think maybe a comedy show would've seen it?" I ask, "Possibly…So Random?"

Chad laughs, "Sonny, you don't wanna waste your time on that show."

"Oh," I say, looking away, "I see."

"Sonny," Chad says, grabbing me by the hands and turning me back to face him, "I'm sorry, but you have a real talent to be doing this well in a day."

"You think?" I ask, and he smiles.

"I know." He says, and I smile. Chad smiles too, and I'm sure he'll kiss me, until suddenly the librarian comes along and I pull away, back into the real world. I turn the page back to the History page, before focusing on the screen. Chad sighs, getting up.

"I'll see you later."

"Yeah," I say, not taking my eyes off the screen, "I'll see you later, Chad."

He leaves and I feel stupid. What did I do that for? I could've kissed him…wait, why would I want to? He's a self-obsessed, Hollywood-fresh jerk-face, I don't like him. I chuckle, no, I can't deny it. Sure, there's a crush element there, but it must be a crush. I must just be starstruck, I mean, I'd never love some locker-stealing, heart-breaking, basket-scoring jerk…would I?

"Thank you so much!" I smile after hanging up from an important call, yelling as I enter the noisy basketball court. I promised Chad I'd come, and hear I am, even though I'm a little late. OK, I'm really late. The game's almost over.

I look to the countdown, 20 seconds, and the teams are drawing, 51-51 I see Chad in the middle of the court, looking slightly unfocused. I yell his name, smiling, and he turns to see me, smiling, and turns back, completely ready.

18, 17, 16, the ball heads his way as Chad runs straight to it, snatching it off of the other player, grinning.

13, 12, 11, I see him run towards the hoop, dodging some tall guy on the other team.

8, 7, 6, he passes to another, before getting into an awkward 3-pointer position and being thrown the ball.

3, 2, 1, 3 POINTER!

Chad lands successful, smiling, as his team-mates pick him up, cheering, and I smile, wanting to go and hug him after I see a cheerleader kiss him on the cheek. I smile as he pushes her away lightly, before Derek yells out about an after party at his house, as Chad said, and a sea of kids head out to their cars, ready to get to this hot party.

I bump into Chad on the way out, and smile.

"Hey!" I laugh, and he smiles.

"Hey, I knew you'd come." He says.

"So, well done out there." I say, and he grins.

"Thanks."

"So…" I say, but I'm interrupted as a guy from the team congratulates Chad and asks him to follow him.

"Sorry, Sonny," He says, "I'll catch you later at the party, right?"

I sigh, "I don't know. I can think of much better things to do than hang out at Derek's."

"C'mon," Chad pouts, "For me?"

"Fine." I sigh, and he smiles.

"Good." He says, "I'll see you there."

I smile, watching him leave. Little does he know of why I'm really going…

Why is Sonny going? I know, she knows, you don't, so review to find out! :)
