Just One Mistake
Chapter 11: An Apology Is Like a Slap in the Face
I don't own SWAC.
CHAD AND SONNY ARE A COUPLE, *GIRLISH SCREAM* Now all that's left is for them to KISS! But c'mon now, this is Disney we're talking about. DAMN YOU DISNEY CHANNEL! I loved Sonny with a Secret! How about you guys?
Me + owning SWAC = Crazy person. Me + Not owning SWAC = Sad person... but it's the truth, and hey, the truth hurts.
Don't forget to review guys :)

"...And I may have overreactedjust a smidge," Sonny laughed nervously as she tried to give a genuine smile to Lucy.
"You... overreacted a smidge? Sonny you're the type of girl that overreacts about everything. It's not going to change," she told me with her arms folded across her chest.
I know what you're thinking; I'm talking to Lucy again! YAY! But no. What happened was Chad practically forced me here to apologise and explain everything so Lucy and I would be friends again, and things aren't really going according to plan. Lucy hates me, and clearly, a lot.
"No, Lucy, it will change," I told her.
"I don't believe you," he told me with a shrug. "Now, I'm not one to hold a grudge..." -Pause for laughs- "But you are just impossible and I can't help but hold onto this grudge."
I rolled my eyes and Chad, who was standing beside me, jabbed me in the side with his elbow.
"No, you know what, you're wrong," I hissed, "You always hold onto grudges! Even if it's a minor little thing like, hell I don't know, I borrowed your red pen and forgot to return it! That's something about you that won't change."
"Okay fine, I do that sometimes. But i'm not as bad as you! You get jealous easily," she said with a smirk, leaning forward a bit.
"When have I ever gotten jealous?"
"This situation is based on jealousy! You are so jealous of me and Lucas that you took it out on me. But you know what, I understand about that. I mean I'm jealous of you and Chad but you don't see me carrying on about it!"
I scoffed, "I am so not jealous. Lucas and I broke apart years ago. It's merely a faded memory to me."
"You're still in love with him," she said.
"No I'm not! I love Chad," I informed her and she shook her head, leaning against the doorframe of her house.
"Clearly you are in love with my Lucas."
"NO!"
"Girls!" Chad yelled over the top of us. "Knock it off!"
Lucy and I stayed quiet.
"I brought Sonny here so you two could make up, but you're making it impossible!" He hissed at us, his eyes darting back and forth between the two of us.
"You can't force someone to be friends with someone they hate," Lucy spat, her eyes seeming like they were going to jump out and eat me.
"Well I hate you too!"
"I never said I hated you. I was giving an example!"
"Well your examples suck!"
"LUCY, SONNY!" Chad screamed over the top of us again. We closed our mouths whilst Chad gave us warning glares. "Seriously, chill!"
We were all silent for a while.
"You like Lucas-"
"No I don't," I cut in.
Chad snaked an arm around me and pulled my closer to his body. I smiled as he kissed the top of my head, my eyes darting up to him, and then back at Lucy.
"I'm in love with Chad," I told her simply, with a shake of the head.
She gave me a scowl.
"I know you're giving me the cold shoulder right now, but I'd like your shoulder to be one I can laugh on, not one I run from in tears," I told her, my eyebrows lowered.
Her scowl dropped off her face and she started sobbing quietly, "You must hate me right now," she cried as she dropped her head into her hands, "I don't know why I was saying those things. I didn't think you'd react the way you did, and I'm just so sorry."
I frowned and moved out of Chad's embrace and into Lucy's arms. "I'm sorry too. I'm sorry for everything!" I cried to her, tears falling down my cheeks and onto her shoulder.
"I'm sorrier!" She cried into mine.
"No I'm sorrier!"
At that point we were both unable to understand as we sobbed and argued about who was sorrier.
Lucy wiped a tear, "Listen, Son-beam," she sniffled, "How about we do something later? I missed you a lot and think we should catch up," she suggested with a genuine-looking smile on her face.
"Definitely!" I squeaked as she grabbed both my hands in hers and we jumped up and down like kids.
"Oh! We should double date!" Lucy squawked with an excited grin on her face.
"Yeah!" I cheered at her idea.
Chad didn't say a word but he looked stunned.
"Great! We should make it..." she trailed off in thought.
"How about tomorrow?" I suggested.
"Perfect!"
She pulled me in a quick hug and smiled as I turned to leave.
"Bye Sonshine, be here tomorrow by noon!" She called after me as Chad tugged at my hand.
"Okay! See you then!"
Chad and I walked hand in hand to his car and I stifled a chuckle. Chad looked at my face and chuckled too, unaware of what I was laughing at.
"What?"
"Oh nothing, I guess I'm just happy," I told him with a shrug.
He opened my door for me like a true gentleman then closed it behind me. He rushed to his side and jumped in his car.
"Ya know," he started as he turned the car on, "Apologies are like a big old slap in the face..."
"How so?" I asked with a chuckle.
"You slap a person and it turns against you somehow..."
"So you think because I apologised something bad will happen to me?" I questioned him, an eyebrow raised.
He nodded.
"Real funny, Chad."
As he sped down the street I smiled widely, "I can see you smiling out of the corner of my eye," Chad informed me with a smile also. "Why so smiley?"
"You'd think a car like yours in a town like this would attract a lot of attention since most cars are pickup trucks, but surprisingly no," I told him as he reached for my hand.
"I attract attention!" He argued.
"Maybe you need a better car," I laughed.
"Carmen is the best car I have got!" He complained, taking it offensively, or pretending to act dramatic. Either way it was amusing.
"You should get a yellow Ferrari and name it Sonny!" I mused.
"Nah, no cars are special enough to have your name," he winked at me, causing my cheeks to tint pink.
...
Yeah I know this was short, but I had to get it out of the way. The next chapter will be longer, and I have surprises up my sleeve.
