CPOV:
I woke up to the sound of screaming girls the next morning. It was an ear-splitting sound; exactly like the way a fan would react when they saw me. I kept my eyes closed-hoping to drift back to sleep, and for the immature squeals to fade. Chad Dylan Cooper did not like to be woken up- especially by screaming girls. There was a bunch of chaos and squeals that came from downstairs-or was it outside my door? Where were my parents to keep away these noises?
What is that horrifying sound? Did someone let a group of screaming fan girls into my house or something? That's when I realized what was wrong with my thoughts: My house. This was Sonny's house; not mine. This caused me to remember the unsettling memories of the day before; my parents going on vacation, leaving me with Sonny for the summer, my mother planting a thousand kisses on my face, me having to sleep in what was practically a closet-because I wouldn't call this a bedroom-and realizing there was no en suite bathroom.
The screaming continued and I had a sudden uneasy feeling that Sonny was in trouble. However they weren't screams of fear-it sounded like happy screaming-excited, even. After about five minutes of laying there, I opened my eyes and blinked a few times letting them adjust to the light. I sat up in bed, and rubbed my eyes with my hands. Whatever Sonny is doing downstairs better be worth me waking up this early in the morning. I heard a thudding sound downstairs, and more screaming. Knowing Sonny, she probably told a bunch of my fans that I was staying here just to annoy me.
Finally, my curiosity got the better of me; I couldn't take it anymore and needed to know what all the commotion was about. I threw off the bed covers, and trudged towards the stairs; wary of what was waiting for me. Peering down the staircase, I noticed two girls jumping up and down. I could tell from the chocolate brown shade of her hair that one of them was Sonny. But I don't think I've seen the other before. Well, actually, she looked a little familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it. She had brown hair, a little like Sonny's-except lighter and a little bit shorter too.
I loudly stomped down the stairs and approached the two squealing girls as they both stopped squealing to turn and look at me. How could two teenage girls make so much noise?
"Why are you so loud?" I complained, covering my ears dramatically. Sonny rolled her eyes as her friend just stood there smiling widely at me. Probably star-struck; girls always get like that around me (even Sonny from time to time-although she doesn't like to admit it)-it's just one of the many gifts I have.
"It's about time you woke up, Chad," she said. "It's ten o'clock."
"Well I don't usually wake up until one!" I groaned, getting slightly freaked out by the girl beside her, who was still grinning like a mad person. I could have spent the next three hours in bed, but Sonny Monroe and her stupid fan-girl friend had ruined it for me. And now I had to put up with their company for the rest of the day. Just great. Once I'm awake, it's very hard for me to fall back to sleep so I may as well not even try. I winced as I thought about the fun-packed day ahead of me.
"The early bird catches the worm," Sonny sang, cheerily.
"Why the heck do I want worms?" I wrinkled my nose in disgust as Sonny rolled her eyes again. I swear, if she keeps doing that, they'll get stuck like that forever. The girl standing beside her giggled as she continued looking at me, and put her hand on Sonny's arm.
"He's so cute when he's playing dumb," the girl whispered excitedly. I think I wasn't supposed to hear that; but I did.
I smirked and winked at her. "Why, thank you."
Sonny stuck a finger down her throat and gagged. "Gross. And he's not playing, Lucy. He really is dumb." I glared at her, and the girl, who I now know is Lucy, giggled again.
"You're such a diva Monroe." She was really irritating me right now.
"Well you're such a-a…a...jerk, Chad!" she retorted.
I scoffed and smirked at her. "That's all you've got? Really Sonny, really?"
"Shut up, Chad." She took one of the bags that I hadn't realized were on the floor. "Come on Lucy; let's take your things up to your room." Sonny gave me one final glare and headed for the stairs.
The realization hit me and my eyes widened as I finally realized who this girl was. "It's you! You were the girl that crashed my party and ate cake off my face!" I didn't think I'd see her again, and hadn't realized this was the "Lucy" everyone was referring to. I can't believe I have to stay with her for the whole summer-who knows what else she would crash of mine?
She smiled sheepishly and blushed. "Sorry. If it helps, it was an awesome party."
"Thank you," I smiled, nodding appreciatively at her. "Of course it's awesome. It's my party; everything about me is awesome." The girl giggled and snorted a bit. I raised my eyebrows at her and smiled amusingly.
"Oh I know," she replied, giggling loudly. Sonny tugged on her arm and pulled her away. She stared at me the whole time they went up the stairs and twirled her fingers at me in a wave. I just nodded to her and she squealed. I chuckled and shook my head at how crazy girls get over me.
I heard the door to Sonny's room close, and I made my way to the kitchen to get some breakfast. When I saw that the kitchen counter and table was empty, my mouth dropped open. Did she really expect me make my own breakfast? You've got to be kidding me. Where's her chef? I looked around the kitchen, but I was the only one here.
I sighed, and opened the cupboards, searching for a bowl. Someone crept up behind me, and I jumped in surprise. I saw Sonny laughing as she saw my reaction. I glared at her. "What do you want?"
"Well, I was going to make you breakfast..." she trailed off, and smirked. "But since you were so rude, I guess you don't need it." She turned to leave, and I pulled her arm to spin her around. Sonny looked down at my hand that was holding hers and she blushed. Still, her face remained composed and strong. "Do you like to pull on my arm or something, Chad...?"
I rolled my eyes, pulling my hand away and ignored her question. "Can you just make me breakfast?"
"Say it in a nice tone," she ordered.
I sighed, and said in a nicer tone, "Can you please make me breakfast?" Sonny smiled smugly and made her way past me to the cupboards. She easily found a bowl and set it on the table. She started towards the shelves, but paused and looked at me. "Cereal or egg?"
I sat down on the kitchen stool and shrugged. "I don't trust your cooking, so cereal."
Sonny slapped my arm, but laughed. "I could still poison the cereal, you know."
"Well then, I think I'll just skip breakfast," I said, making a face. Sonny laughed again, and then stopped.
"No, seriously, Chad," she said, putting one hand on her hip. "Cereal or egg?"
I sighed. "Egg." She raised her eyebrows, giving me a look. I exhaled heavily. "Please."
Sonny smiled and turned back to the stove. She got out a frying pan and cracked an egg, pouring it on to the pan. Then she turned on the stove, and started cooking the egg. I slid off my chair and headed for the bathroom.
"I'm going to the bathroom!" I called over my shoulder.
"Don't care!" she called back.
After I finished, I stepped out of the bathroom to hear the sound of loud music coming from the kitchen. I saw that Sonny had turned the radio on, and was smearing potato skin. She must have not heard me come out of the bathroom because at that moment, she started moving her body to the beat, and tapping her foot. I watched her intently; a small smile playing on my lips.
The music got faster, and I saw Sonny walk towards the radio to turn on the volume. Then she danced back to the counter, where she was smearing the potato skin, and continued what she was doing. She finished with the potato-which had now turned into strips of fries-and put them on top of her frying pan to fry. I wondered if she was doing this for me-all I asked was an egg; I didn't think she would make me a full breakfast complete with fries.
She placed the fries on the plate when they were done, and I saw her start frying bacon strips as well. Then she opened the fridge and took out a package of sausage. She began cutting them on a cutting board, and then waited for the bacon to finish.
The music had changed now, and had kind of a punk and rock feel to it. I saw Sonny smile; her face lighting up as she began to dance to this too. At first it was just a foot tapping, and head banging dance. But then as the song progressed, she loosened up and started to wave her hands madly around. I bit my lip to keep from laughing.
I heard her sing along to the song as she placed the bacon strips and sausage on the plate. Then she danced over to the fridge to take out a bottle of tomato sauce and squirt it on the plate. She took out a knife and fork and set it on the plate too. Then she tapped the table with her hands to follow the beat of the music. This time, I couldn't help the laugh that came out of my lips as she started skipping around the island and singing with the music.
Sonny stopped and whirled around to see where the laugh came from. I tried to cover it with a cough as I walked towards the island and took a seat. Her eyes widened. "Chad! How long were you standing there?"
"It started with the beginning of the first song, and ended with the second one." I pointed to the plate, and looked up at her. "Is this for me?"
She nodded. "U-Uh...yeah..."
I frowned when I looked at it. "No toast?"
"O-Oh, right! I forgot." Sonny quickly went to the kitchen counter again, and popped in two pieces of bread into the toaster. Then she also reached over to turn the radio off. I smirked at her.
"So what was that about?" I asked. Sonny froze, and slowly turned around to face me. She had a hint of pink on her cheeks, and she was staring at the floor when she talked to me.
"What was what about?" she muttered. I slid off my chair to stand in front of her and lifted her chin with my finger, causing her to look at me.
"The dance," I answered, smirking. She smacked my hand away, and turned back to the counter. The toast was now done, and she hastily took the plate as she slid the two pieces of toast on it. Then she slammed the plate down on the island angrily.
"What about it?" she said. I chuckled and opened my mouth to say something, but she interrupted me. "Don't. Don't say it." Sonny glared at me, and I bit back my comment.
"I was just going to say that you are a very good dancer," I told her, trying to hold back a smile.
Sonny feigned a smile, then rolled her eyes. "Just eat your breakfast." I cut a piece of the bread and egg, then stuffed it in my mouth. Sonny was watching me, as if waiting for a response. I glanced at her curiously.
"Whaf?" I said, with my mouth full. Sonny shook her head and shrugged.
"Nothing," she answered, taking a seat beside me. "Do you...like it?" I swallowed and stared at her. She looked so hopeful that I couldn't bear to say no.
"It's a'ight," I replied nonchalantly, shrugging. Then I took another bite, and nodded. "Yeah, it's pretty good...so far. You didn't put any poison in this, did you?"
"Maybe...maybe not..." she teased, looking away and whistling. Then she laughed and turned back to me. "No, I didn't poison it."
I chuckled. "Good." I looked around her house, expecting to see someone there.
"Where's your friend?" I asked her.
"Upstairs unpacking. Why?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to know where she was. I would've thought you'd spend every minute with her." It's true. I mean, last time she was here, she had tried to spend all her time with her. No doubt she would do that now.
Sonny laughed. "Well, yeah...that worked out so well last time." I chuckled, remembering the dreaded birthday party incident, then smiled when I realized she was thinking the same thing as me. "But, uh, I learned my lesson."
"You won't crash people's birthday parties anymore?" I teased. Sonny slapped my arm playfully.
"Actually, your party was the only one I've ever crashed," she said. I rolled my eyes in a playful manner.
"I feel so special," I said sarcastically, making Sonny giggle.
"You should," she teased back. "But, no, that's not what I meant. I learned my lesson; this time, we'll do what Lucy wants, and not what I want."
"Great." I really didn't care about her friendship issues, and I didn't even bother hiding the boredom in my tone. Sonny got up from the chair, and took off her apron; hanging it on the hook.
"Well," she said, heading to the stairs. "You finish eating. We're going to see Uncle Joe today at the restaurant to help him get set up before he officially opens tomorrow. I'm going to go get ready."
"Alright," I called to her, then stuffed another spoonful of bacon into my mouth. I had to admit, she was a really good cook. Then again, I wouldn't be surprised; most girls are. Especially girls with a bubbly personality like Sonny.
The doorbell rang, but I made no move to answer it. It wasn't my house, and even if it were, I wouldn't answer it anyways. The maid usually gets it at my house, or my parents. I heard foot stomping upstairs, and then Sonny's voice rang down the stairs.
"Chad?" she called.
"What?" I snapped at her, in between bites.
"I...uh...I'm not...decent..." she stammered. "Neither is Lucy...can you get the door, please?"
I huffed, and stuck my tongue out the stairs, even though she couldn't see me. I scooped one more bite into my mouth then trudged to the door. The perky blonde from her show was standing there, and looking at her reflection on the window. When she saw me open the door, she gave me a surprised and curious expression, but smiled knowingly.
"Chad..." she pursed, "Did you spend the night here?" Tawni quirked her eyebrow at me, and smirked.
"Yeah, I-" I stopped, and rolled my eyes. "Not like that."
"Uh-huh," she said, in a tone that clearly said she wasn't believing me. Tawni sauntered into the house, and looked around. "Where's Sonny?"
"Upstairs," I answered. "She's not decent."
As soon as the words left my mouth, Tawni whipped around, and smiled brightly. "Wow, Chad. You bad boy." She clicked her tongue and shook her head disapprovingly. "Just make sure you don't get her pregnant just yet. Her parents wouldn't like that."
I made a face. "Ugh. That's not what I-"
"Tawni!" Sonny's high-pitched voice interrupted me. She ran down the stairs to hug her friend. "I'm so glad you're here! And I bet you're excited to see Lucy, am I right? I know she is. Lucy!" Sonny turned to the stairs to call Lucy, and pretty soon, the smaller brunette went down the stairs to hug Tawni too.
"Tawni!" Lucy squealed, hugging her. Tawni hugged her back, and smiled.
"Lu-Lu! How are you? You're looking prettier," she remarked bluntly. The girls were all jumping around and all talking at once, that I decided to leave them alone. I headed towards the kitchen, and the last thing I heard from Tawni was, "So, Sonny...tell me about Chad spending the night here." I rolled my eyes at her, and finished my breakfast. To think I would ever spend the night with Sonny.
Dumping my empty plate in the sink, I shook my head at the absurdity of girls like Tawni who thinks only about themselves, and when they do think about others, it's about sex. And they say guys are pigs.
The loud ringing of the phone snapped me out of my reverie. I hastily picked it up, hoping it would be my parents calling home to say they've cancelled they're trip, and was coming home to get me out of this place. But it wasn't my parents-in fact, the voice sounded like a boy my age-maybe a little bit older.
"Ryan?" I asked in surprise. His voice had gotten deeper, but I still recognized the guy who's house I've slept over with all these months.
"Chad?" he responded, just as surprised. "What are you doing there?"
"Aw, Ryan. Aren't you happy to hear from your best friend? I'm hurt that you don't want me here." In the other room, I could hear the girls giggling, followed by some light footsteps coming toward the kitchen. I knew it had to be Sonny coming to see who was on the phone.
"No, seriously, man. What are you doing there?"
I shrugged, then mentally slapped myself because it was such a stupid thing to do. Ryan couldn't see me shrug on the phone. "Your parents and my parents are on vacation. They left me here to have your little sister...baby-sit me." I shuddered again at the horrendous word. Ryan chuckled his deep laugh, and then huffed out a big breath.
"Well, didn't anybody think to tell me this? Did they forget I was part of their family?" He sounded annoyed, and I could hear some cars and people in the background. There was also the sound of a car honking, so I figured he must be outside.
"Where are you, man?" I asked, ignoring his rant.
"Subway station," he answered. "I was just getting out."
I frowned. "What are you doing there? Aren't you supposed to be at your college right now?" Ryan didn't get to answer, because at that moment, Sonny came into the room and saw me with the phone.
"Chad! You picked it up. Who's on the line?" she asked, pointing to the phone in my hands.
"Is that the brat?" Ryan asked in my ear. I chuckled, and nodded, but felt stupid again because he couldn't see the nod either.
"Yeah, the one and only." Sonny gave me a confused look, and I passed the phone to her. "Your brother."
As much as she tried to hide it, I knew Sonny missed her brother-and loved him very much. She walked casually to the phone, and greeted her brother casually also, but I could see her eyes lighting up when she pressed the phone to her ear, in excitement. "Hello? Ryan?"
I heard Ryan's muffled voice talking to her on the other line, and saw the smile creeping to Sonny's lips when she heard her brother's voice. I decided to leave her alone to talk in private, and strided to the living room-but not before grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge.
The two girls were propped on the couch, and flipping channels quickly, but they didn't seem to be paying any attention to the TV. Instead, they were busy talking to each other about something, while Lucy messed with the remote. I sat down on the arm of the couch, and took a drink of water. "What are you watching?"
They whirled around in shock, and Lucy smiled when she saw me, while Tawni just shrugged. "Some guy," she answered, with a bored expression. I smirked.
"Yeah, that describes it."
Lucy giggled. "Um...it's just about a guy who is kind of like Superman, but he's a teenager."
I raised my eyebrows and turned to the TV. "You mean Smallville? Oh, yeah, I know him. He guest starred once on Mack Falls."
Tawni rolled her eyes and yawned, before messing around with her phone. Lucy just stared at me, still grinning like a fool-does everyone from Wisconsin smile this much? This whole fan-girl act is irritating me to the bone. If she doesn't quit staring at me like that, I'll-
"Okay, guys!" Sonny called, entering the room. She grabbed a green, velvet coat that was sprawled on the arm of the sofa, and slipped it on. Then, she took a black scarf, wrapped it around her neck, and swung open the door, motioning us out. "Let's go. Uncle Joe's probably already waiting for us."
"Tell me, why do I have to go, again?" I whined, but grabbed my jacket also. It's been getting pretty cold here lately-even though California isn't supposed to be cold.
"As one of the employees, you have to get to know who you're going to be working for. Besides," Sonny added, locking the door. "I don't trust you enough to leave you alone in my house."
Before I could say anything, Tawni let out a snort. "You're going to be workingthis summer?" She smirked, and started laughing hysterically, clutching her stomach. "That's the funniest thing I've ever heard." I glared at her, but she didn't seem to notice. We made our way to Sonny's car-the all-new red Mazda3. Sonny and Lucy laughed along with Tawni, and Sonny stuck her tongue out at me.
I rolled my eyes, and slumped all the way to the car, calling shotgun along the way. Surprisingly-knowing the blonde, she'd have complained and try and fight for the front seat with me-no one objected. Well, Sonny did make a face, but she didn't say anything. Lucy didn't seem to mind, but Tawni just smirked even wider. I gave her a strange look, but she ignored it as well, and climbed into the backseat with Lucy.
Sonny hopped into the driver's seat, and I into the passenger seat. I buckled my seatbelt, and Sonny drove out of her driveway, and started down the road; to her Uncle's restaurant. I could see from the rear-view mirror, that Tawni was smiling all the way there.
A/N: Again, we're so, so sorry. And yeah, Charley's right. It's probably been over a month since we updated-and it's only the second chapter too! Lol, we should start slacking off in like chapters four or five! Haha, sorry. We have been really busy lately, and Charley's busy too, I guess. So that's why probably she couldn't write very much. But the next chapter will be all hers! :) So we hope you like this chapter, and we're really, really sorry again.
A/N: Sorry. This has taken sooooo long, I feel really bad, and I know Renny does too. We will get the next chapter up quicker that this one. It was like a month or something! Ok well Renny gets credit for this chapter because she wrote most of it and I didn't help much which makes me feel bad again. As you guys know, we are back at school just like everyone else but then I can't blame school for not finishing this because we had the end of summer but whatever i'm rambling. We are really sorry anyway and hope you liked this chapter, I know I do ;) -Charley x
