Sonny's POV
"xForeverDazzledx Tweeted, 'Sonny + Chad = best celebrity couple EVER!!'," Chad read aloud, shifting, while tapping more keys on her Apple laptop. His movement made me bounce a little, and made Karma stir. We were laying on his trampoline, so every little movement made sleeping Karma stir awake, before dozing off again.
"What's with these crazy teen girls? I love our fans, truly, but seriously?" I asked, staring up at the inky black sky, sparkling stars like diamonds against the dark backdrop. My stomach gave a little jolt of homesickness. It made me think of back in Wisconsin, when Ashleigh, Lucy, and myself would sit on the roof of Ashleigh's barn at night and talk about boys or how horrendous our teachers were.
I gave a little sigh, and tried to rid myself of the feeling. Easy as it may seem, it was difficult. Chad noticed, because I found him inquiring, "You okay, Munroe?"
I threw a glance at him. The moonlight made his golden hair pale, and I had to swallow before saying, "Yeah, I'm fine," and reaching for Karma as a distraction. She snored slightly, her lips pursed. It was weird, staring at the doll cradled in my arms, like it was an actual baby. It looked like an actual baby, except, well, it had a battery for a heart. But in just the right light, the light that didn't make her plastic skin glow, she did look real.
I was actually dreading the end of the week. Of course, it had only been a day, well, two by tomorrow. I'd have only five more days with her, and my heart hurt just thinking that. I wasn't sure attachment was on the list of requirements for the project. But when you're raising a baby, real or not, it's difficult not to get attached. Downright impossible.
Or, you know, maybe it's just me.
"TrinityFlower of Memories said, 'What I love about Channy? Um, just the forbidden love and their funny fights but with a hint of kindness. I especially love Chad's sweet side!'. I don't have a sweet side, how dare she!"
I rolled my eyes at him. We were completely losing track of what we were supposed to be focusing on. Which was Karma. It was Chad's idea, after an awkward ride home, that we should go on Twitter (which I'd just recently discovered and had to explain to him), and read more. Even if Karma was asleep, she could wake up crying at any moment, and I had no diaper nor warm bottle.
"...Is our love really forbidden?" Chad whispered meekly, staring up at me with wide aqua eyes. Chad may be a jerkthrob, but my gosh, those eyes could make fire melt. "I mean, we could go out if we wanted too. It's not forbidden," he finished defiantly, eyebrow cocked, almost as if he was asking a question. But he was stating a fact.
I tilted my head to the side, ignoring my brown bangs that fell into my eyes. I gawked at him through the sheath of chestnut. He looked to be in pain. "Yeah, we could," I said, then caught myself. I felt a crimson blush, similar to his at the moment, creeping up my neck. "If we wanted to," I added, for clarification. I didn't want to date Chad, no way no how.
His lips turned down in a...frown? But he fixed his probing eyes back on his computer screen, the light from it illuminating the shadows of his face. I stared at him, tracing the planes of his face with my eyes. Brushing my bangs out of my eyes, I got a clearer view, and listened to him read aloud. "Frocked said, 'I think Channy's relationship is healthy. A love hate thing... Like Lily Evans and James Potter!'." He paused for a moment before asking, "Who are they?"
I rolled my eyes at him, "Two clues: Harry and Potter."
His brow furrowed in confusion. "What's a hairy potter?" Then he stopped, and a look of understanding passed his face. "Oh. Wow, my bad."
I stared at him. "Does everything go in one ear and out the other?" I asked, tilting my head.
He considered. "Maybe. I'd never know, would I?" And then he smirked his notorious Chad-smirk, and I somewhat smiled back at him. No need to give him the satisfaction of making me laugh, which I had to repress.
Which led me to believe that something, though what it was remained a mystery, was wrong with me. Chad's silly quirks usually never wanted to make me laugh. I must've inhaled too much Chuck E. Cheese's fumes.
"Gosh, there's so many things about us on here," he said, wide-eyes gawking at the computer screen. While tapping a few more buttons, he added, "I never even thought about us being a couple." (A/N: Liar...).
I blinked and looked down. What was the sudden sadness washing over me? "Yeah, me neither." Staring down at Karma though, avoiding Chad's gaze, I had started to think about it. Chad and I, holding hands, watching the sunset, the creamy pink sky fading into a beautiful onyx. Chad and I, on the red carpet, his arm slung casually around my waist, as if proclaiming to the world, "THIS IS MY GIRLFRIEND, SONNY MUNROE!" Chad, tilting his head, lips puckered---
Giggle.
I blinked. Where was I? When I looked at Karma, sudden realization hit me, and I felt a crimson flush warming my ears and cheeks. Chad was reading more to himself, and I was glad he had noticed my blush. I banished away any lingering fantasies. I cradled Karma, staring at my baby doll. My stomach gave another pang as my phone vibrated. I pulled it out of my pocket and read it once, before typing a response.
From Tawni:

Girls day with the "babies" tomorrow! You in? (:
Chad looked up at me. "You're gonna love this one..."
From Sonny:
8:33 PM

"Mckayla, where's my iPod?"
"I don't know, call it."
