Bet Day Part 4

"What's the big deal?" I asked. Why was she so worried about a picture of us on Tween Weekly?

"SONNY!"

That's why. Tawni had screamed from the prop house. Sonny didn't look too happy. Hmmmm. What can I do to make her feel better about this?

"I'll come with you if you want."

Darn me and my big mouth!

"Okay… as long as you don't make things worse…"

Sonny and I walked to the prop house. We strolled in to see Tawni, Nico,and Grady sitting on the couch. Yes, I do know their names, I just act like I don't. The next thing I knew I was pinned to the wall by two arrows that had caught my clothes just above my shoulders and two that had caught my clothes on either side of my stomach. Zora was standing behind the couch with a bow and five more arrows in a quiver.

"What was that for!?" I yelled. Everyone looked at me very calmly except Sonny, who was trying to get the arrows loose. I reached down for my sword, which I had been keeping on my belt since Joy came to town. I kept it hidden in my pants so people wouldn't start panicking and yelling 'He's got a sword!' I know it sounds kind of weird saying 'in my pants' but it was the truth. Needless to say, my sword made sitting very awkward.

As soon as I grabbed the hilt of my sword, Zora shot another arrow, but this time-

"OW! Come on! That's the same spot Joy hit me with her sword! REALLY?" I roared.

My left hand grabbed the arrow, which in reality was about two inches below where Joy cut me. It hurt like a lot of things my mom would smack me on the back of my head for saying.

"Oops," Zora said giggling slightly, "I meant to stop you from grabbing your sword."

I didn't think I could feel any more pain at that moment, so I grabbed the arrow and pulled it out. Boy was I wrong. I made a weird grunting noise because I was trying not to scream like a little girl in front of Sonny. Tawni, Nico, and Grady were all giggling, but managed to say, "Chad, are you okay?"

"Yep, I'm fine. Arrows embed themselves in my arm quite often."

I was amazed how calm I sounded saying that and how I managed to keep a straight face. Sonny cracked up laughing. Tawni, Nico, Grady, and Zora, on the other hand, seemed quite offended.

Sonny had pulled two arrows out of the wall and was working on the last two. I pulled out my sword and slashed my clothes so that I was free of the last two without them having to be pulled out of the wall. I walked over to Zora and slashed my blade.

"Missed me!" Zora said laughing, "Can't hit the bright side of a barn, can you?"

I smirked. Zora shifted her bow from one hand to the other and as soon as she did, the bow's wooden part split in half, still connected by the string. I sheathed my sword and walked back over to Sonny.

"Tawni, what did you want?" Sonny asked with her hands on her hips. I suppose she was a little angry that her friend had tried to, and succeeded in, injuring my, and that her other friends just laughed at me.

"We wanted to make a fool of Chad, duh!" Tawni said like it was the most obvious thing in the world, "We knew he was in our dressing room with you so we knew he would follow you to the prop house."

I was so angry that my hand went straight to my sword. I was about to pull in out when Sonny grabbed my hand.

"No," she said, "Violence isn't the way."

I let go of my sword. For the first time I noticed the steady stream of blood coming from my wound. I pulled out the bandage that Joy had told me to always keep in my pocket in case of emergency. I guess she was right, like she is about most things. I pulled my sleeve up and wrapped the bandage around my arm.

"If that's the way you feel then fine!" Sonny said, "I would rather hang out with Chip Drama Pants than people who will injure people just because they're on the rival show!" Wait, was she choosing me over her friends? Awesome!

Sonny grabbed my hand and pulled me towards stage two. Before we got there I stopped, causing Sonny to come to a halt.

"Are you choosing me over your cast?" I asked in disbelief. She looked at me and smiled.

"Yes, I am, so don't mess it up."

We walked onto the set of the falls and plopped down on the couch.

"So…" Sonny said biting her lip.

"So…" I said, avoiding Sonny's eyes.

Sonny rested her head on my shoulder. I like when she rests her head on my shoulder. It makes me feel like… she trusts me and is comfortable around me. When she leans her head on my shoulder, I can also smell her perfume better, which I like because I go crazy over the smell of her perfume. I don't know why, but I just love that scent. If I knew what perfume she wears I would buy her about twenty bottles to make sure she keeps wearing it. Secretly, I think Sonny likes the smell of my cologne. I have a feeling that's one of the reason's she likes to put her head on my shoulder. I notice she breathes through her nose a lot more when she's near me and when she catches the aroma in the air, she seems to smile slightly… then scowl because that means that I'm near by, but I tend to just ignore that part.

I put my arm right around her, and even though Sonny leaning against my injured arm made it hurt more, I didn't care.

"Sonny, can I tell you something?" I asked.

"What?"

"I love you."

Sonny sat up and stared at me, eyes wide. Her jaw had dropped slightly and she didn't seem capable of moving a muscle.

"Sonny?"

The next thing I knew I Sonny had pulled me into a bear hug. I wrapped one arm around her and the other gently pushed her head into resting on my shoulder.

"I love you too," she whispered, "I love you too."

"Sonny, you know you should really make up with your cast," I said. Sonny let go and looked at me.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. I'll go tell them I'm sorry now but they have to apologize for hurting you too."

With that Sonny stood up, kissed me on the cheek, and walked towards the door. When she got to the doorway, she spun around on her heels.

"Are we, you know, boyfriend and girlfriend now?" She asked.

"We are if you want to be," I said grinning.

"'K," Sonny said giggling and smiling. Boy, do I love that girl. I hope she doesn't get herself in more trouble. She can be so stubborn sometimes. I don't want her messing up her friendships for me. Great! Now I'm starting to sound all sappy! See the effect that girl has on me? I better go make sure she doesn't mess stuff up, not for her, for me!... I can't think of a good reason of why I would do that for me. Eh… I suppose I'll think of one on my way to the prop house…

So… How was it? I tried to make it a long chapter because recently I've been writing less and less in the chapters. Contest time! I need a clever name for a talk show and the talk show's host. The host and talk show can be made up or real. I would prefer a made up talk show with a real person, but whatever. You guys are the ones with the ideas! So type them in a review and while you're at it, tell me how the story was! :D
