i think i'm getting sick :(
so jealous of sonny in the first four paragraphs of this chapter! lol. read and you'll see why. 3
"Wake up, Sonny," I heard Chad say. His voice sounded faint and far away. "Sonny," he said again. This time he sounded closer. I opened my eyes. I'd been expecting to wake up to my lilac-coloured walls and collection of stuffed cows, but instead of staring into the plushy face of Mr. Moo Moo, I was looking at Chad. His face was just inches from mine and he was grinning from ear to ear.
"Hmmm," I sighed happily, snuggling closer to him than I already was. I closed my eyes again and buried my face in his chest, inhaling his scent. He smelled like pine trees and cinnamon and something else I couldn't place.
"It's time to get up," Chad said, sounding oddly dissappointed. "You have to let go now, Sonny."
"I don't want too," I muttered, obviously still half-asleep and unaware of what I was doing. I heard the familiar click of Tawni's heels as she came into the room.
"What are you doing?" she asked me, sounding horrified. I opened my eyes again, now fully awake. It took me a few seconds to realize that I was cuddling with Chad, but when I did, I let go like he was on fire, falling off the bed in the process.
"Love you too," Chad said sarcastically, still smiling that smug little smile of his. He sat up and ran his hand through his hair.
"Is Lucy still in the bathroom?" he asked Tawni.
"Well, it's not you, me, or Sonny, is it?" Tawni answered, rolling her eyes.
"Looks like somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed," Chad observed. Tawni took off her left shoe and hurled it at Chad's head. He ducked just in time, letting it whiz by and hit the wall.
"I'm so sick of Lucy's kicking," Tawni told us, setting her purse down and getting on all fours to search for her shoe which had rolled under the bed. "I'm covered in bruises and I had to use a gallon of cover-up to hide the bags under my eyes."
"Well, it's better than your snoring," Lucy argued, coming out of the bathroom. Chad stood up and ran into the bathroom, closing the door behind him. I guess he really had to go.
"I don't snore," Tawni exclaimed. She recovered her shoe from under the bed only to throw it again, this time at Lucy. Fortunatly, Tawni's aim was off and it hit a box of Corn Flakes instead, knocking it to the ground. "Do I snore, Sonny?" I hesitated and then nodded nervously, sheilding my face with my hands in case Tawni decided to throw any more projectiles at me. She let out a quiet "hmph" and then hobbled over to where her shoe had landed. She put it back on her foot, not bothering to fix the Corn Flake mess.
I heard the toilet flush and the sink turn on and soon Chad emerged from the bathroom.
"It's all you're Munroe," he said, winking at me. Ever since the cuddling incident, he seemed to be getting a little bit too cocky. Just because he smells good and has great hair and sparky eyes and an amazing smile and...wait, what was I saying again?
I took a quick shower, barely having enough hot water to rinse the shampoo out of my hair, thanks to Lucy, and then got dressed, did my makeup and dried my hair with Tawni's hot pink hair dryer.
"I'm gonna order room service," I told the others, once I was out of the bathroom. I had been planning to eat Corn Flakes, but obviously that was no longer an option. I hit the room service button on the phone and a lady answered.
"I'll have pancakes," I told her. "Extra syrup and a side of bacon." I covered the reciever.
"You guys want anything?" I asked.
"I'll have scrambled eggs," Lucy told me.
"I already ate," Tawni said, gesturing to the cornflakes on the floor. I ordered the eggs and then turned to the ego-maniac admiring his reflection in the mirror.
"Chad?" I asked.
"Egg whites with tomato on the side," he said. "Oh and don't let them touch or else it's going back." I repeated what Chad has said to the lady, thanked her, and hung up. The food arrived shortly and we all (well, all except for Tawni) dug in.
"Easy Shortstack," Chad said, as I shoveled forkfulls of pancake into my mouth. "You're gonna make yourself sick." Shortstack! My first nickname! Well, of course there was someoney, but that didn't really count...
Just as Chad was swalling his last bite of egg whites, the phone rang. Tawni answered it while I slipped my favourite sneakers on my feet.
"That was Mr. Condor," she told us, after she hung up. "He says we're ready to go."
"Animal Kingdom here we come!" I shouted excitedly. I couldn't wait to see the animals and ride the rides, especially Expedition Everest. Of course, Chad would have to find something else to do while we rode that one since Space Mountain was a baby ride compared to it.
When we got to the entrance, I spotted Nico and Grady. Grady was chowing down on a pretzel while Nico tried to get the pretzel girl's number. I watched as she rolled her eyes at Nico and he walked away, looking defeated.
"Nico! Grady!" I called. "Come ride Expedition Everest with us!"
"That sounds intense," Chad said nervously.
"It is," Grady said, appearing at my side. "I've been on it a bunch of times. It's amazing."
"Let's go," Lucy excalaimed, running in the direction that sign marked "Asia" pointed. Once again, Chad worked his celebrity magic to get us to the front of the line.
"Love Chad Dylan Cooper," he read aloud as he finished signing a picture for the ride attendant.
"Go on in," she said with a starstuck look in her eyes. We walked up to the front of the line, leaving Chad alone by the water fountain. Another ride attendant strapped us in. He winked at Tawni and handed her a piece of paper with her number on it which she promptly disposed of as soon as the ride began.
Expedition Everest was every bit as fun as I imagined, but it left me feeling a little queasy after the pancakes. We met up with Chad at the water fountain and then went to go check out Kilimanjaro Safari (AN: Not sure if that's spelt right or even the right word...I didn't bother to double check it online.)
After a long day of rides and buying souvenirs we decided to go on one last ride.
"Are you sure we won't drown?" Chad asked, eyeing the circular Kali River Rapids raft suspiciously.
"Positive," I answered. We got into the raft and the ride took off up a hill.
"Oh my God, we're gonna die," Chad wailed, sounding close to tears.
"No we're not," I reassured him. I took his hand in mine and squeezed it gently. He calmed down almost immediatly.
"Thanks Sonny," he said, grinning from ear to ear. I smiled back and we plunged down the first hill. Chad didn't even notice. He never took his eyes off mine and I found myself getting lost in them yet again, despite all the promises I'd made not to. As we plunged down the final hill, I finally let go of his hand. He let out a high-pitched scream and tried to grab my hand again, but before he could, we splashed down onto the water below, soaking everybody.
"See, that wasn't so bad," I said, handing Chad a towel from my bag.
"It really wasn't," he agreed. "But only because you were on it with me."
This REALLY makes me miss disney world! Expedition Everest is sooo fun and I remember how we stupidly went on Kali River Rapids in the morning so we were soaking wet for most of the day...also there was this fat guy on the raft with us and he was so heavy that the raft always tilted so that he ended up going down the hills backwards and he kept saying "It aint fair! It aint fair!" LOL! don't know why i brought that up but i thought it was funny.
You know what's not funny though? my sister left five pairs of shoes in the front hall. FIVE! I don't even have five pairs of shoes. Like seriously? Why would you wear boots, slippers, flip flops, sneakers, and flats all in one day? WTF?
You know what else isn't funny? when i was 6, my neighbors locked me and my sister in our shed for an hour...in the summer...when it was 35C out (i think that's about 100F)...and it was a whole lot hotter in the shed. Again, don't know why i told you that. i was talking about that with my mom and sister when we were at Mcdonald's last night though so that's why i was thinking about it.
K i'm almost done I promise, but i just wanna tell you something weird that happened to me. I was playing spider solitaire today cuz i have no life and when I was about halfway through my fifth game, I realized that I'd been unconsciously writing a story in my head for the past half hour...I don't remember what it was about exactly, but it was a star wars fanfiction...all i remember was Rex sayin something about tinnies...weird eh? guess i'm just such a dedicated author that I write stories without even meaning to. lol! peace out suckahs!
