Chapter 4
Previously:
"Chad, you're upset because you made yourself look like a fool and a jerk in front of Sonny, aren't you?"
He took a deep breath. "Yes." He said. I could almost not hear him.
Chelsea's POV
He admitted it. He finally admitted it. He didn't straight forward admit that he liked her, but he did admit that he cared. I was almost as excited as Sonny herself would be. He paced around the room again. "I mean, we've gotten into fights before, but she was really mad this time." He said with a worried tone in his voice. "What if she doesn't want to talk to me anymore? What if she completely ignores me? What if she ha-" He was cut off when I put my hand over his mouth. "Chad, take a deep breath." I said. "Calm down. I have one final question to ask you." He did what I told him as I put my hand back to my side. "Now, for my last question." I said, takeing a breath myself. "Do you like Sonny?"
We sat there in silence for a few moments, while I stared at Chad waiting for an answer and he looked at the ground. Finally, he put his head up, and stared straight at me.
"Yes." For the second time I could barely hear him.
"What did you say?" I whispered.
"Yes. I like Sonny." He said louder. I couldn't stop myself from smiling.
"Well then I should probably tell you i'm falling for Grady." I said, giggling.
"Really?" He said.
"Yeah, but i'd be lieing." I laughed. He slightly frowned at me for giving him false hope that he wasn't alone. I threw my arms around his neck and gave him a big sisterly hug.
"What was that for?" He said as I pulled away.
"That's for being honest." I said.
I slapped him in the face.
"Ow! What was that for?" He said, rubbing his cheek.
"That's for being stupid and not coming to your senses earlier."
"Well, lets stop with all this suspense and drama-" I began saying, but he cut me off.
"Whoa whoa whoa - no drama?" Chad said.
"Yup." I smiled.
"Well then what are you gonna do? Be funny?" He gave me a disgusted look. I walked over to his bed.
"What are you doing?" He asked. I reached out for one of his pillows. I guess Chad finally caught on, because he started shaking his head and backing up. I grabbed one of his pillows, ran up to him, and hit him in the face. He pointed at me.
"No one hits CDC in the face with a pillow!" I looked around.
"No one did hit me with a pillow." I laughed.
"I was talking about me. I'm CDC. The one and only." I put my hand on his shoulder.
"Chad Chad Chad, you see, you can't say CDC and always expect people to think of you. I have the same initials." He put his finger in my face again.
"A name change can be arranged!" I threw his pillow at his face and walked out of the room.
I wanted to speak to Tawni again before tomorrow, so the next step of my plan could be put in action then. I wanted to speak to her in person though, instead of just by phone. Now i'll just need to get her here without Chad knowing. If he found out I was hanging out with a "Random"... Even though he could have a crush on Sonny, I couldn't hang out with , I said he'd let me do whatever I wanted, but when it came to the So Random! cast, I couldn't get past him. I called Tawni and invited her over. On my way to the door I passed by Chad's room. I could hear music playing. Why couldn't he just go to sleep already!
The doorbell rang. But at the same time, Chad's bedroom door opened. Oh no! I opened up the door and ran outside myself.
"I thought you invited me inside?" Tawni asked.
"Yes, but we have to get past Chad! He was walking out of his room when you rang the bell. We're gonna need to take the back entrance!" I said, grabbing her arm and leading her around the house.
"Your house is huge!" She exclaimed.
"Yeah yeah you can admire it later." I said. I looked through one of the windows to make sure Chad wasn't back here either. "The coast is clear." I whispered. I turned the doorknob slowely so I didn't make to much noise. "Okay now get inside!" I motioned towards the inside of the house. Me and Tawni quickly slipped in. I looked around to make sure Chad wasn't here. "Alright come on." I said, pulling Tawni by the arm again. I looked around and saw Chad walking towards the kitchen. I pulled Tawni up the stairs and towards my room.
I looked behind us. Chad was coming up the stairs? How did he move so quickly! I opened the nearest closet door and shoved Tawni inside of it. "Whoa!" She said, falling into the closet. I slammed the door and stood infront of it. Chad looked at me weird as he walked by and went into his room. I pulled the door back open, grabbed Tawni by the wrist again, and sprinted into my room.
"Whoa. I love your room!" Tawni said.
"A compliment? From Tawni Hart?" I said smiling.
"Yeah yeah can we just get on - Is that your closet?" She walked over to my closet door. She opened it up and gasped.
"I. Hate. You." Tawni said. She was about to enter it when I grabbed her wrist. "Can we focus, please?" I asked.
"Alright, so, what about the plan do we need to talk about?" She asked. I thought for a moment. Should I give up Chad's trust he put in me when he told me he liked Sonny? Ugh, this is so frustrating! I had to, though. That was the objective in the first place. To get Sonny and Chad to admit they liked eachother to me and Tawni, then for me and her get them in the same room and have them tell eachother!
"Chad..." I started, taking a deep breath. "Chad told me he likes Sonny."
Tawni was making her way for the closet again, but stopped dead in her tracks. She slowely turned around.
"He. Said. What?" She asked.
"Chad said he likes Sonny." Her mouth opened. She closed it quick, and gave me a confused look.
"Wasn't that what we wanted?" I nodded my head.
"Yes, but, now we need Sonny to admit it. And that's where you come in again. I got Chad to admit his feelings, now you need to get Sonny to admit hers. After that, we can step into the next phase: Get them in a room together and have them admit it to eachother." I said.
"Alright. Fine. I'll talk to Sonny. Now can I please-" She said, but I stopped her.
"Go ahead." I sighed, gesturing towards the closet. She grinned and jumped inside.
"Can I have-" She called from the inside.
"Sure." I said, collapsing onto my bed.
Tawni had left, and I had finally fell asleep. When I woke up in the morning, I was just too excited. I didn't care about anyone, normally. It was all about me! But, just like Chad, I had a soft side. And today, I was going to use it. Chad had already admitted his feelings for Sonny, the next step was for her to admit her feelings for Chad. That was Tawni's job - I wasn't nearly as close to Sonny as Tawni was. As I fixed my hair up, (I had already taken a shower and gotten dressed), I thought. How was I going to get Sonny and Chad in the same room so they could admit how they felt to eachother? The the thought occured to me - Tawni and Sonny's dressing room! It had two doors. I could force Chad in on one side and Tawni could just have Sonny come with her, maybe tell her she had an idea for a 'sketch' and she wanted Sonny to see a costume for it or something, and we could lock the doors after explaining what's going on. It was perfect! I'd have to tell Tawni as soon as I got to the studio.
I walked out to Chad's car with him. I got in and buckled my seatbelt. Chad was driving me to the studio while I was guest starring on "The Falls.". Why waste my car's gas? Usually we had lots to talk about on our way to work, but today, there was an awkward silence. Chad probably felt weird being around me - as weird as at seems, not only because i'm an enjoyable person, but because Chad's my twin brother - since he told me about how he liked Sonny. I hoped the silence would stay, I didn't want to talk to him in case I might give some clue to my plan away. But of course, he had to strike up a conversation.
"So...are you friends with the randoms?" He said.
Of course, out of all the things to talk about, he had to bring up something like that! He probably noticed me hanging around Tawni a lot! Stay cool, stop being nervous. He'll notice your face getting red and your sweating. You're a good actress - why can't you use it in real life?
"No, what would give you that crazy idea?" I lied.
"I noticed you hanging around blondie a lot."
"It's Tawn-" I stopped. I wasn't supposed to remember her name anymore then he did!
"My point exactly." He smirked.
Why did I have to be such a bad liar? No, I wasn't a bad liar to anyone but him. My brother. The person it should be most easiest to lie around. But he was the hardest to lie to.
"Wait, why are you hanging around blondie?" He asked.
Why couldn't he just leave the topic alone?
"How do you know I am?" Nice cover.
"Nice cover." Well that was weird.
"I was making fun of her, of course! I wouldn't befriend randoms!" I was so laughing and hanging out with her.
"You were so laughing and hanging out with her." This is kinda freaky.
We pulled into the studio parking lot.
Finally, an excuse to leave this conversation.
Mackenzie Falls rehearsel was the same as usual. I didn't really know what part I played. I really just read over my script and used whatever emotion I was supposed to. I wasn't focused, but apparently I still did great. I was that good of an actress! We got a break, and I decided on using mine to talk to Tawni. I told her to meet me in the cafeteria.
I ran back to my dressing room. I had recently bought 3 things i'd need to disguise myself: A black haired wig, a tan hat, and sunglasses. I threw them on and ran down to the cafeteria. I sat down at one of the tables. Tawni walked in and looked around for me.
"Tawni! Psst, Tawni, over here!" I motioned towards myself. She walked over and stared at me weird.
"Selena Gomez?" she said.
"No, it's me, Chelsea!" I said, taking off the sunglasses.
"Oh," She said, setting down her purse on the table and sitting next to me. "Cause you look like Selena Gomez." She said. (AN: Round and Round video, she had sunglasses and a tan hat? xD)
I looked at her confused. "Wha? How would.. Oh whatever! It's just a disguise. Anyway, we need to talk about our 'plan.' Did you talk to Sonny yet?" I whispered.
"No, I was planning to after lunch. Which lunch is in 5 minutes."
"Good." I put my elbow down on the table and my hand on my forehead. "Ever since Chad told me about how he likes Sonny things have been a little... awkward, between us." I continued.
"Isn't Chad always awkward?" Tawni said back.
"Well that's beside the point. Anyway, have you thought about your excuse to drag Sonny into your dressing room?" I said.
"Well, maybe we'll be lucky and she'll be in there. But if she's not, i'll say I have a new outfit to show her." Tawni said.
"Good. I thought i'd blindfold Chad and tell him that theres some reporters that want to talk to him or something." I said.
We laughed.
"He'll do anything if it means gettting him on more TV and magazines, eh?" Tawni said.
"Wow, for enemies you guys sure do know Chad."
"Yes, because he's constantly telling us to check out TV channels that he's on or tossing magazines that he's in at us."
"Predictable."
We laughed again.
I went back to my dressing room and took the disguise off. I threw my Mackenzie Falls uniform back on, which I actually look really cute in, if I might add, and went down to the cafeteria again. I sat down at the Mackenzie Falls table. The rest of the cast had a conversation that I wasn't even listening to. I was to deep in thought. I looked across at the table where all of the So Random cast was sitting. I saw Tawni get up and pull Sonny with her to the hall by her wrist. Good, the next part of the plan is in action.
Tawni's POV
I decided it would be a good time to ask Sonny about Chad. She had just finished her lunch. I grabbed her wrist and told her I needed to talk to her. We walked out into the hall. I dragged her over to our dressing room. I let go of her wrist and me and her walked inside. I quickly shut the door.
"Wait.. what about Zora?" Sonny asked.
I walked over to the vent. Sure enough, she was behind the grate.
"How did you get there so fast? You were in the cafeteria when we left!" I said.
"I have my ways. And if I told you, well, you might have to not see another day."
"Get out or you won't see another day!" I said.
"Okay, fine, fine i'm going." She said, scooting backwards.
I went on my tip-toes and looked inside. She was gone.
"Okay." I said, walking back towards Sonny.
"What did you want to talk about?" she said.
"Chad."
The moment I said the name her eyes got bigger. I could see her eyes moving from me too the door.
She was about to make a break for it, before I ran over to my door and locked it. She quickly turned around and was about to run for her door when I jumped over one of our couches and landed right in front of her. I put my body in front of the door.
"Oh come on, do we have to talk about that jerk?" She whined, going over to sit on the leopard printed couch.
"I'm pretty sure we both know you don't think he's that much of a jerk, Sonny." I said, standing in front of her again.
"What do you mean?" She said, her voice getting higher.
"Sonny, your 'high-voice'?" I said.
"Darn it!" I heard her mutter.
I smiled.
"So tell me, what do you truly think of Chad?" I said, sitting next to her.
"You know I hate him just like you do!" She said, with the same high voice.
I gave her the same unbelieving look I did when we were talking about her jealousy over Chad.
"Okay, fine." She repeated, also from when we were talking about her being jealous.
"Come on Sonny, you can tell me." I said, putting my hand on her shoulder.
"Well, he can be kind of nice at sometimes. I guess I do kind of like him. I mean he's cute, and his eyes are so blue, i'm constantly getting lost in them. And his face..." she said with a dreamy look. "Wait, what are we talking about?" She said, coming out of her dreamy look.
"You do like Chad!" I said, getting up.
"Yes, but don't tell anyone!" she said.
"Don't worry, I won't." I said, walking out the door.
"So she finally admitted she likes Chad?" Chelsea said.
I had met her in her dressing room while Portlyn was gone.
"Yes! Now we can go into the next step!" I said, clapping my hands.
