CPOV
Sonny looked like she was waiting for something. Or perhaps someone?
What if it's a guy someone?
But that would mean that she likes someone other than Devon, or me. I could try to boost my ego up, telling myself that of course Sonny likes me, because any normal girl would. I could lie to myself, and say that she's secretly in love with me. But filling my head with lies only sets me up for disappointment. And plus, Sonny is definitely not a normal girl. Even though she does look on fire in a bikini.
Sonny shifted in her tight space, obviously uncomfortable. Am I really that bad to be around? Or maybe it's Devon, he is a pervert, and I think Sonny can tell. How exactly is Devon a pervert, you ask? Let's reflect on past events, shall we?
"Um…I'm just gonna…go to the bathroom." Sonny said to us, looking rather awkward. She bounced off with her incredibly cute run.
"So, Sonny's a hottie, right?"
"Eh, she's a'ight." Ha, "a'ight" was the biggest understatement you could ever give someone like Sonny. She was just so…sunny. But of course I couldn't let him know that I think that. Or let him know that I was extremely pissed that he referred to Sonny as a "hottie". She's way more than that. Apparently, I'm not so good at hiding my feelings, because Devon read right through me.
"You like her, don't you?"
"No."
"You do. Too bad, I think she likes me more." he said obnoxiously. I balled my fists up and tried to have enough willpower not to punch him. Sonny would obviously think it was my fault and take care of him, yet again running off into the sunset.
"Awh, is Chaddy getting a little jealous of Devon and Sonny?" he fake-pouted, taunting me.
"She'd never like someone like you, especially since her best friend likes someone like you."
"Shut up!"
"No you shut up!"
"Wait…think about it, Chad. You and me, we could share Sonny. There's plenty of her to go around. I mean, have you seen her chest?" he winked.
That was it. No one talks about Sonny that way, ever. "Do you want to be fired from Mackenzie Falls?!" I yelled. "Are you threatening me?"
"Oh you bet."
Then, of course, Sonny just had to walk out, minus her coverup. I mean, as much as I enjoyed it, I know that Devon must've enjoyed it more. Loser.
So, my friends, that is why I hate my co-star with a burning passion. "Hey Sonny, how bad is the bathroom up there?" the evil one asked, pointing to the port-a-potty. "It's okay, if you hold your breath." she answered. "I'll be brave." he replied as he sprinted out. THANKYOU! FINALLY! I'm alone with Sonny. Score.
She scooted over and sighed. "Much better." I heard her say quietly. "So…sorry, I can tell you're uncomfortable." I apologized.
"Uncomfortable? Me? Psh, naaw. I'm not uncomfortable." she said in her high voice. I looked her in the eyes until she spoke the truth. "Okay, maybe a little. But it's fine, because…Tawni!"
"Tawni?" I squinted, confused. Then, I followed her excited stare to Blondie herself, holding clothes. Damn. I looked farther to see that Nico, Grady, Portlyn, and Chloe were trailing behind.
"Where's Devon?" Tawni asked, concern showing on her face as her eyes searched the field for a sign of him.
"Bathroom."
"A public bathroom? Ew! He is so taking at least four showers before he ever thinks about touching me again." she declared.
Tawni then remembered her reason for being there with us, which was unfortunately, clothes-delivery. She passed the stack of folded clothes to Sonny to slip on over her bathing suit, and turned her attention back to Chloe and Portlyn.
Thankfully, after Devon got back, he lost interest in Sonny and focused it on Tawni. I looked up and saw the beautiful pink sky. By this point, everyone sat on and around the bench, talking, and I was growing bored. I mean, I'm Chad Dylan Cooper after all! Sitting on a non-moving hard public bench outside just doesn't do anything for me. So, I decided to sit on something that does move. I made my way to the yellow swing set, a little bit away from everyone else, and sighed happily. Trees weren't blocking my view anymore, so I could see the peaceful sunset clearly.
My eyes broke away from the sky when I heard footsteps approaching. I looked to see that it was none other than Sonny Monroe. The way the light reflected on her made her appear even more angelic than she already is. "What are you doing over here?" she asked, concerned.
"People talking annoys me." I answered.
"Wow, anti-social much?" she giggled, taking the bright swing next to me.
This whole park matched her personality. Bright, colorful, obviously full of so much joy. From the bright blue slides [since she seems to love that color so much…], to the smooth sand, and to the bright yellow tiles surrounding the swimming pool. I could definitely see why she liked being here so much.
"Well, honestly, I came over here to see the sunset."
She didn't respond for a moment, and I instantly regretted telling her that. Did she think I was some sort of softie now? Does she like the bad boys or something? Her voice broke my worries. "That's…sweet, Chad. It is gorgeous. I never took you for someone who'd appreciate that, though. I like that side of you." she smiled, which made me smile.
"Sonny, there's a lot of sides to me that you've never met." I said. "Did you just quote Mackenzie Falls? Really, Chad, really?"
I chuckled. "Hey, you really do watch it!"
"Of course I do. It's got you in it, after all, and what teenage girl in their right mind wouldn't wanna see that, right?"
"Why does that last part sound sarcastic?"
"Boy, Cooper, you catch on fast." she kicked her toes in the sand.
We sat there in comfortable silence for a while, watching the sun set until I finally got the courage to ask her the question that's been biting at me for hours. "Hey, you don't…like Devon, right?"
Her eyes grew wide and she shook her head rapidly. "No. Tawni likes him. And even if she didn't, I'm not attracted to him at all."
"Good." I smiled. Not smirked, smiled. That's right, I'm capable of doing that at times.
"Good."
"Fine."
"Fine."
"Good."
"Good."
"So are we good?"
"Oh, we are so so good."
"Whoa, an extra so! We're really getting somewhere." I playfully nudged her with my elbow, and she nudged back. The feeling of her touching me was causing an amazing fire to burn through my body. Stupid fire. Stupid Sonny. Stupid cute.
