Chapter 8

Next day

Chad POV

I stayed up all night thinking about Sonny's journal.

I never knew one person could hurt so much, so much bottled up emotion inside her.

Tawni was texting me like crazy last night. I really try to avoid her best I can. Go clear of the diva.

Later arriving to school Tawni has been waiting for me at my locker.

"Hey there." she wink trailing two fingers up my chest, trying to be seductive and hopelessly failing. I push her hand away.

"What do you want Tawni, I'm not in the mood for your shit. " I say louder than intended.

"Rawr." she purrs still trying to be cute. "What's wrong Chad?" she asks doing a pathetic puppy dog look. "You didn't return my text or calls last night. " she tells me leaning in.

" Yeah, I know Tawni I'm really not in the mood could you please... Just go." I tell her from this point aggravated.

humph. She stomps off.

Finally. I whisper to myself.

I then see Sonny coming into the school fuming, if we were cartoons smoke would be fuming from her ears. Her eyes are angry and she stomping towards me.

Oh shit what did I do?

"CHAD!" she yells

"DID YOU READ MY JOURNAL?!" I can see she's fuming.

Oh fuck, I'm screwed I'm trying to get her to trust me again this won't help she would never forgive me.

"Um, no?" I say but it sounds more like a question.

"No." I repeat.

Fuck I didn't want to lie.

"Don't lie to me it wasn't in the same place it was yesterday. And you were the only one in my room last night. "

"No, sonny I'm not lying when you went downstairs I was looking at your room then I saw your journal when I realized what it was, I didn't read it. That's all. " I tell her, her face immediately changes to a softer expression.

"Well don't look around my room anymore." she says trying to remain tough.

"So that means I'm aloud back in there." I wink

" Oh shut up Chad." she laughs and hits me on the chest.

"Ouch!" I fake being hurt holding my chest.

"Oh, whatever." she laughs and walks away. To her locker where Penelope is awaiting her.

Damn I really just lied to Sonny but it's for the best. Right?

Sonny POV

"Hey Pen!" I smile at her waiting by my locker.

"What was that about?" she questions.

"What I texted you last night about Chad and my journal. "

"Oh yeah duh silly me, did you hear Tawni is back?" She tells me

I slam my locker door shut.

"Kill me now. " I say angrily.

"Forget about her Sonny, just avoid her you have plenty of friends to back you up. " she smiles at me.

" That's true. So we still on for tonight? " I question.

"Of course, SLEEPOVER!" Penelope squeals like a little girl. I couldn't help but laugh.

My classes went by pretty fast. I talked to Chad on occasions though he seemed a bit down all day after I keep asking what's wrong and he wouldn't answer. He keeps saying nothing. Tawni keep giving me the evil eye today. Like she wanted to rip my head off. Then came the period her and I had together.

The bell rang we took our seats she came and sat right next to me.

"Hey whore." she says happily I was stunned one she was talking to me and two she just called me a whore.

"Um..Excuse me?" I choke on my words.

"Oh you heard me, I heard you have been hanging out with Chad. My boyfriend." she tells me with death in her eyes

My eyes widen I couldn't help but feel sick. He never told me Tawni and him were dating. I was upset, and angry. I oddly felt betrayed.

"S..S.. S..oo-" I tried to talk.

"GET IT OUT STUPID!" she yells.

"Sorry Tawni, I didn't know you guys were dating. Plus I don't like were just friends." I manage to say.

She scoffs then in turns into a laugh. And starts gathering her stuff

"Ha, you Chad friends. " she starts laughing so hard like it was a joke. "Not anymore your not, I don't know why I came over here anyways." she smiles at me.

"Fat girls aren't his type."

She walks away.

Just like that, just like 6th grade all over again.

Does she really not have a heart? Does she hate me that much? I never did anything to her. Are things going back to the sixth grade?

I couldn't even concentrate on the lesson I just wanted to go home and curl up into a ball.

Tawni and Chad are dating how could he do that to me. We don't like each other were just friends. But why does it hurt so much.

My emotions were at war with each other. I didn't know what to feel. I haven't noticed I'd been crying my face was soaked in tears by the end of class.

I went to the bathroom to wash my face. I was so pale I looked like I hadn't eaten in days. I need to stop over reacting. Just fake a smile your good at that.

I head to my next class, which I have Chad in.

"Hey sunshine." he says trying to act happy but I can tell he's not.

"Hey Chad." I smile at him.

"What's wrong?" his face turns concerned all automatically. How did he know I was upset? I'm pro at faking it.

"Nothing." I smile at him.

"Sonny I can tell you're upset, you do the same thing you did when we were kids." he tells me

"Um, really nothing just heard a bit of interesting news today about you."

"Likee?" he questions obviously worried.

"How come you didn't tell me you and Tawni were dating?"

"WHAT?" he yells I jump at the sudden out burst.

He calms down.

"What?" he says again. "Who told you that?" He says angrily.

Chad calm down its okay." I say trying to calm him down.

"It's not okay Sonny, who told you?" He asks again calming down a bit

"Tawni" I say he gets angrier I didn't know it was possibly but it happened.

He looked at me and calm down.

"Sonny, don't listen to Tawni, I Hate her. She is annoying and I want nothing to do with her she is a liar. She probably just told you that to upset you." He tells me.

"Im going to kill her, no scratch that I'm going to pay somebody to kill her." I couldn't help but laugh. He turns to me.

" Its so funny when your mad." I laugh.

He smiles also.

"Is that all she said to you?" He asks. My smile fades for a moment remember what she told me. I smiley quickly hoping he wouldn't notice.

" Yeah, that's all she said." I lie.

He gives me a disappointed look probably knowing I'm lying, but leaves it at that.

Ring. Ring. Ring.

Saved by the bell,

"Want a ride home?" chad asks.

I don't want any awkward conversation, of what just happened plus Penelope is sleeping over and I have to get ready."

"Oh, no thanks I'm riding with Penelope she sleeping over." I smile politely deaclining his offer.

"Oh, a sleepover can I join?" He says jokingly but I know that some part was serious.

"No Chad, its an all girls sleepover." I laugh.

"Well bye sunshine."

"Bye Bluebear" I say and walk over to Penelope's car.

Tonight will be fun. I smile to myself.
