Hi everyone, please review this chapter after reading and let me know what you think :) Sorry it's kind of a filler chapter, but needed. That's why I'm adding 2 chapters tonight.
Back at the prop house…
"What just happened?" Tawni asked Sonny. "Who was that guy? He was hot! You're lucky he wasn't mad at you for being such a klutz."
"He is the star of that new Undercover show. He was really nice."
"Are you okay? First you almost knock down Chad and now you're trying to take out another cute guy… what's going on?" Tawni questioned.
"Well, you promise not to laugh?" Sonny asked meekly.
"I'll try," Tawni replied, "but no promises!"
Well I guess that's good enough Sonny thought. I need someone to talk to and let's face it, Tawni will have to do.
"I'm just really nervous about this whole New Year's party," Sonny responded. "I've barely ever even had a real date, much less a kiss."
"Is that what's been bothering you?"
"Yeah," Sonny replied half heartedly. Truth was, she was still a little miffed at Chad's lack of caring and only resorting to her when bored, but why should she even bring it up? In fact, why did she even care?
"That Blake guy gave you his number, right?" Tawni asked.
"Y-eah."
"Well, call him up right now and ask him to that party. Show him you're strong," Tawni demanded, forcing the phone in to Sonny's hand. "Guys like that."
"But I'm not strong! Besides, I just met the guy!" she replied, pushing the phone back in to Tawni's hand.
"Fine!" Tawni exclaimed. "I give up! You're on your own," she proclaimed, strutting out of the room.
Meanwhile, Blake was still in the commissary with his castmates of Undercover. Chad was sitting with the Mackenzie Falls cast when Blake came up to him and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Hi Chad Dylan Cooper! I'm Blake Rhodes, star of Undercover. You're an amazing actor, man. I just wanted to meet you. I aspire to be as good as you… if not better someday," Blake said flauntingly, running his hands through his hair.
Chad was taken aback by this; was he just complimented and insulted in the same sentence?
"Cool, good to meet you," Chad answered, not really sure exactly what to say. He knew guys wanted to be like him; could he blame them? But this guy was annoying.
"Maybe we'll have to hang out sometime," Blake said. "I could use some acting advice being new around here and all. And you can help me meet some cute girls."
"Sure, I can introduce you to some really cute girls," Chad remarked.
What is with this guy? Chad wondered. I cannot stand when people try to be chummy with me just because I'm famous.
"By the way" Blake began, "do you know anything about Sonny Monroe?"
Chad perked up when he heard Sonny's name.
"Yeah I know Sonny," Chad answered. He had seen their little run in, but didn't know what was going on. "Why do you ask?"
"She's cute," Blake answered. "I thought I might take her to that New Year's party."
"Oh… good," Chad replied coolly. Blake thinks Sonny's cute? Why would he even think that? Well, despite our annoyance for each other, she's cute… not that I would ever even consider dating someone like her… why am I even thinking about this? Why do I even care?"
"So, do you approve?" Blake asked. "I mean, do you think she is worthy of going with me?"
Man, this guy is really full of himself- even more than me. He wishes he was worthy of her… wait! What am I doing? Man this guy must really be a jerk if he's making me think Sonny is better than him.
"Yeah," Chad answered. "I gotta get back to work," Chad said as he walked back to the set alone.
Who did this new guy think he was? And what if he did ask Sonny, would she say yes? Then it happened. Chad Dylan Cooper felt something he never had before- a twinge of jealousy.
