Hey guys! Thanks for still reading! I think I made the Mackenzie Falls characters too nice before and I was planning for them to be horrible, so I tried to make them seem meaner, but please tell me if u think I went too far with it! Thank you!

Chapter Seven
After I left Chad's dressing room, I decided to head back to my own. I didn't want to see him or anyone else from the Falls cast. No doubt he told them all about my liking So Random and I was way too tired to deal with that. Checking the time, I groaned. It was only 3:00. Another two hours until mom comes to pick me up.
When I was about to turn the corner, I heard a voice. Chad. Turning round, I saw a door to my left. I grabbed the handle, and it was unlocked. It was a closet, a very small closet, and I was claustrophobic, but I really didn't want to deal with them, so I got in anyway.
"She was on her way to their set. She actually wanted to watch it live. And she seemed pretty excited about it!" the voice was muffled, due to the closed door, but she could tell ti was Chad.
"What a freak," this was Marta, "I told you guys she wouldn't fit in here."
"Calm down, Marta. We said we were sorry, didn't we? And now we are going to sort her out." Fergusen sounded a lot less like he had airing rehearsals, and much more like the cold-hearted monster I had spoken to this morning.
"Erm, guys, what do you mean, 'sort her out'?" Chad, for some reason, actually sounded slightly worried.
"Why do you care? All you need to know is that by the time we're dome with her, she'll be so scared she'll flinch at even the word 'Random'. She'll never watch the show again."
"You're not going to hurt her, right?" Chad asked.
"If we have to, yeah."
"You can't!" okay, now Chad definitely sounded scared. Why would he care?
"Why not?"
"Because-erm-well-you can't hit a girl!"
"Why do you think we brought Marta?"
"And me!" Chloe piped up.
"Chloe," said Skyler, "are you really going to hit her?"
"Oh god no," phew, at least I have one friend, "I might break a nail. Plus, it's so much more fun to watch!" Or not.
"Aw, come on, guys. So what if she likes the show. As long as she never brings it up, we'll survive, right?" Why on earth was Chad defending me?
"But we'll still know that she watches it. And that's just too disturbing to ignore."
"What if she quits?"
"Then we'll have to find a new actress to play Isabella."
"Aw, c'mon, she's an amazing actress; we're never going to find someone as good as her on such short notice." Chad thought I was an amazing actress? That was new.
"Chad, there were hundreds of girls here for the auditions; surely one of them must have been good enough?"
"Well, only eight of them, including Sonny, passed the test in the first place, and Paul said that Sonny was miles better than the rest of them."
"Who gives a shit?" I mentally flinched.
"If the actress is rubbish, it'll ruin the show. She isn't just another guest star, Ferg; she's actually a main character!"
"Look, Chad, we all know that this show is a load of crap anyway. Sonny Munroe isn't going to make any difference to that."
"The show is not rubbish. I'm in it," Typical Chad, "and, look, I've seen the drafts, and I think this Isabella character is really going to turn it around, and if Sonny plays her, it'll be perfect. Please."
"Why do you care so much Chad?"
"Because I like Sonny!" he shouted. Silence.
"You what? How could you like someone so, plain?" coming from Marta, I'm going to take that as a compliment.
"I don't mean like like. I just mean, she stands up to me, argues with me. No-one else does that. I like fighting with her. That's all." No, I'm not disappointed that he said that.
"Look, Chad, we get that, but it's for the good of the cast. We can't have a Random fan on the cast. We just can't."
"Please, Ferg?"
"Sorry, Chad." They stopped talking then, and I waited a few seconds before opening the door a crack to see if they were gone. I saw no-one, so I stepped out.
"Sonny?" I jumped, turning to see Chad stood behind her, looking very confused.
"Heyyyyy, Chad!"
"What were you doing in a closet?"
"That was a closet? I thought it was my dressing room. I wondered why it was so much smaller than it was earlier!" my voice sounded higher when I lied. I just hope Chad didn't figure that out.
"I know you're lying. What were you really doing in there? Were you eavesdropping?"
"No, I swear!"
"Really, Sonny, really?"
"Well…I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I was going back to my dressing room, and I heard you coming, so I hid in there, and then I heard what you guys were saying, and then you all shut up, so I figured you were all gone, so I came out, and you were here!" I said.
"How much of that did you hear?" he asked, cringing. I considered lying, but I didn't really see the point.
"Everything from when you said that I was on the way to the So Random set."
"And, when I said…"
"That you like me?"
"Yeah."
"Nah, I didn't hear that part."
"What?"
"Kidding. So, you like fighting with me?"
"Maybe."
"Really, Chad, really?"
"Okay, I admit it. It's the best part of my day."
"Chad, I've only been here a day."
"I know." He actually smiled. He didn't smirk, he smiled. No matter how good he looked anyway, he looked twice as good when he smiled.
"Thanks, Chad." I said, blushing.
"This is the part where you say that it's the best part of your day too."
"But it's not."
"Oh." He said. I felt bad. He looked hurt.
"I do enjoy it, though. I've always said 'fine' back if someone ever said it, and the same with 'good', but I've never met anyone who's actually been as stubborn as me and replied. It's kind of refreshing."
"I've never done it before. It was just that, when you say it, I can't just let you have the last word like that. So I say 'good', and so on."
"But you always let me have the last word anyway."
"Yeah, but you're answering my question, so that doesn't count."
"Erm, yeah, it does."
"No, it doesn't."
"Yes, it does!"
"No it doesn't!"
"Yes, it does!"
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
"Good!"
"Good!"
"So are we good?"
"Oh, we are so good!" I said, laughing.
With that, we started walking off in different directions.
"Oh, and Sonny?"
"Yeah?"
"It still doesn't count!" he said quickly, before running off down the hall. I shook my head at his antics. Maybe Chad isn't so bad after all.
When I got to my dressing room, I was still smiling widely. I sat down to watch TV. Then I heard a commotion outside my door. Someone knocked, so I got up to answer it.
"Hel-HAH!" I burst out laughing. It was Marta, Skyler, Chloe and Fergusen. They were covered in brown gooey stuff, and they were fuming.
"What h-h-happened to y-y-y-you guys!" I stuttered, trying to control my laughter.
"You did!" yelled Marta.
"W-w-what?"
"You tried to prank Chad, but we walked in, so you pranked us instead!"
"What are you talking about? I didn't try to prank-oh yeah. That. That was Nico and Grady. They picked the lock to Chad's dressing room, which was how I got out by the way, and told me they were planning to prank Chad. So I said 'go ahead', and apparently, they did. Only they got you guys instead. Although I don't think they'll mind all that much."
"I can't believe you! Why would you just let them prank Chad? You're a Falls kid now, and Chad actually likes you. Because you fight or something, but still!" Chloe said.
"He locked me in his dressing room. He deserved it. And actually, I'm kinda glad that they got you guys instead. After what I heard you guys say you were going to do to me, just because I like a TV show, I think you guys deserve it way more than Chad did. Now, if you excuse me, I only saw half of today's episode of So Random, so I need to go watch the rest of it."
"That's fine, Munroe, but watch out. We're going to get you. Piece of advice; sleep with your eyes open tonight."
"Why would I do that? Are you planning on doing something to me in my sleep? 'Cause I think seeing your face in the dark would be enough to give me a heart attack."
I closed the door on them, and I heard Marta growl 'bitch', to which I automatically relpied.
"Language!" I shouted through the door.
"English!" replied Chloe.
I was laughing for a good ten minutes. The girl was clueless!
