"Ow!" Sonny cried when she smacked into someone on her way to Studio 3. She shook the hair out of her eyes and realized the obstacle was Chad himself. They had met directly between Studio 3 and Studio 2. "Watch where you're going."

Chad gave her an apologetic smirk and took a deep breath. "Munroe."

"Cooper." "Looking for someone?" He asked, at a loss for the words he had been meaning to say.

Sonny opened her mouth to speak, then closed it again. "Yeah, I ran into him just now," she gave a smug smile.

Chad snapped out of his daze. "Munroe, I've gotta tell you something."

"And I have to tell you something," Sonny said fiercely. "Me first."

Chad folded his arms across his chest. "No, me first," he argued. "I'm the better actor, I get to go first."

Sonny paid no attention. "You lied to me!" she blurted.

He was taken aback. "What? When?"

"You told me your dad walked out on you."

Chad blinked. He hadn't seen that coming. Pulling her aside, away from the two sets, he whispered, "He did, I wasn't lying. What's your point?"

"Then what about Peter St. Markus?" she whisper-yelled.

He swallowed. He had forgotten about that. "Look, Sonny, I..." he struggled for a good explanation. "I just tell everyone that because I'm-"

"Ashamed?" she finished for him, harshly.

"No!" He shook her shoulders, then let go once he realized she was staring at him, kind of frightened. "Well, yes. Wouldn't you be, if you were Chad Dylan Cooper, and your dad became a shameless drunk and ended up in jail when you started to become famous, because he didn't believe in your dream?" he snapped.

Her eyes softened. "Why didn't you tell me that?"

"You never asked. And since when did you care?" he scoffed, turning back into the selfish jerk Sonny knew.

"I don't, but it'd save me a lot of trouble," she muttered.

"Chad Dylan Cooper is always worth the trouble," he laughed and brushed off his leather jacket.

"Apparently not," she mumbled under her breath.

"Why not?" he asked, frustrated.

"Because you don't deserve it!" Sonny exploded. "You're rude to people, you think lowly of them, you steal their yogurt, show up uninvited to proms, play practical jokes on people, steal them away from their friends, replace them in movies, kiss them and then crush them-"

Chad cut her off. "I think I do deserve the trouble!" he threw his hands up in the air, exasperated. "I agree to go on fake dates, I try to dance with people at their proms, I give people autographs, I get them movie auditions for their favorite superhero, and maybe I do lie about why I kiss people but I don't have to play by the rules, goddamnit! I'm Chad Dylan Cooper!"

He lied?!

I know, I had to end it in an awkward place :( its k, the next chapter is good! reviews please!
