CHAPTER FOUR: ROOMATES/SONNY
Date: November 14, 2012 SATURDAY
NOTE: This chapter is dedicated to Clkaudiia for being of my very first reviewers mmmm
A/N: Most of the chapters will be in Sonny's POV since, frankly, I can write a lot better from a girl's perspective speaking as I am a girl :) But don't worry, if you guys review and call for CDC's POV then I'll add some.
Sonny's POV
"Sonny?" Selena exclaimed, jolting from her seat on the top of the bunk-bed. "Selena?" I countered, just as shocked as she was.
My first instinct was to run and hug her, and apparently that was hers too. "Oh my gosh! I can't believe you're here!" I squealed, squeezing her tight.
"How about you? How come you never told me you were gonna be a moderator for Camp Hollywood?" she said, dragging me to the single bed in the other side of the room.
"I thought you'd be too busy with your show to even check your phone!" I replied, pulling on my best innocent look. But Selena Gomez was my best friend, she wasn't buying it.
"I really don't believe you, but I'll let it slip since I didn't tell you either." she giggled. I was just about to respond, when the door opened to reveal-
"OMG! YOU'RE DEBBY RYAN!" I shrieked, running up to her and attacking her in a bear hug. She excitedly hugged back.
"You're Sonny Munroe!" she said, letting go to look at my face more clearly. "Yup, nice to meet you." I beamed, shaking her hand out politely.
"Huge fan!" she said, actually looking a bit starstruckt. "Thanks! I love Bailey on Suite Life on Deck and I absolutely adored you in Radio Rebel! Ooo! And Jessie is one of my fave shows!" I told her as I smiled my wildest.
"Thanks!" she chirped, tittering off to the bottom of the bunk-bed. "Do you need help packing?" Selena asked while climbing down the ladder of the top-bunk.
"Nope, it's fine. But thanks for asking, Sel." I replied as I opened my suitcase and started to unload my clothes and place them in the empty shelf inside the closet.
"Alright, no prob. Hey, did you bring the gray sweater you wore to my sleepover last month?" she asked, looking over to where I was.
"Yup, it's my favorite thing to wear at night!" I replied as I pulled out said sweater and showed it to her. "Wait, you guys know each other?" Debby asked with a confused face plastered on her face.
"Yeah, we met when in the casting of the Chad Dylan Cooper movie." Selena explained, flashing me a smile which I returned back.
"Oh, cool! Did you guys get the part you wanted?" she asked, conversationally. "Well, Chad wanted me to play Sonny but I declined the offer after I realized I didn't need the role." Selena replied nonchalantly, plopping down on the beanbag on floor.
"Ah. And you Sonny, did you get the role you wanted?" Debby asked, turning to me. "Yeah, after Selena gave up my role Chad let me have it." I answered as a smile crept to my lips.
"I'm not surprised.." Selena mumbled silently. "What do you mean by that?" I asked her, suspiciously. "Well, I was just saying that I'm not surprised that he'd give you the role. I mean, he likes you! He'll do anything to make you happy." she explained, shrugging it off like it was nothing.
"Chad? What? Him like me? What? Psh.. girl you're crazy!" I sputtered, laughing nervously afterwards. Both my roommates gave me weird looks.
"Does her voice always get high when she's indenial?" Debby whispered to Selena, glancing at me with an eyebrow raised.
"Yup."
"Does not!"
"Um, yes, it does."
"Says you!"
"Yeah, which makes it true!"
I rolled my eyes and finished storing the last of my clothes in the closet, then set my things up on the individual bed-which fortunately no one had claimed.
"So... any of you girls interested in meeting some of the other moderators around here?" Debby asked eagerly. "I'm up for it!" I chirped while raising my hand in the air.
"I guess I'll come." Selena sighed, jumping off her mattress and slipping on some boots. We excitedly exited our cabin and strolled around the Condor Field.
"Which one do you wanna check out first?" I asked them, referring to the many cabins that encircled the Condor Field.
"We should visit the girls first." Debby suggested. "Good idea, let's start with our neighbor." Selena said while walking to the shack next to ours.
After competing in a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors, I was chosen to knock. I took a deep breath and tapped my knuckles against the hard wood.
"Come in!" a voice said from inside. I slowly pushed the door open to see, a tan girl with brunette hair! "Hi!" I greeted sweetly, giving her a wave.
She was sitting on the floor with her feet outstretched and nail polish viles around her. "Um, hi. Can I help you?" she greeted back, uncertainly.
"Oh, well actually my roommates and I were just going for a round in meeting the other moderators." I explained, gesturing to Selena and Debby who were hovering behind me.
"Cool. Well in that case, I'm Brenda Song." she said, flashing me a smile. "You're London Tipton from the Suite Life of Zack and Cody!" I squealed, bouncing up and down like a 3-year old.
"Yup, and you're Sonny Munroe from So Random! right?" she clarrified, letting out a laugh of amusement in response to my jumping.
"Absolutely. And this is Selena Gomez." I said, pulling Selena's arm so she was in front of me. "Hey." she greeted flatly.
"Nice to meet you." Brenda replied, waving her nail polish brush like it was her hand. "Hey Debby!" she suddenly said, looking behind me.
Debby waved back kindly. I was about to ask how they knew each other, when I remembered that Brenda was also on the Suite Life On Deck together with Debby.
"So, who're your other roommates?" Selena asked, strolling around their cabin. "Oh, Chelsea Kane and Kelsey Chow." Brenda answered, looking back at her half-painted nails.
"As in Stella from J.O.N.A.S and Mikayla from Pair of Kings?" Debby asked, pure surprise evident in her face. "Yep." Brenda replied cooly.
"OH MY GOSH! I can't wait to meet them!" Debby squealed, wriggling around excitedly. "Chelsea is a great actor and Kelsey is just such a sweetheart!" she explained, looking more happy by the second.
"Where are they anyway?" I asked, noticing that Brenda was completely alone. "They went to bond with some of the other moderators." she replied, nonchalantly.
"And you're not joining them?" I said as I raised my eyebrow at her. "Nah, we'll lots of time for that during the campfire tonight." she shrugged.
"There's a campfire tonight?" Selena asked, startled. "Yeah, it's at 6. But you don't need to go if you don't want to. It's your choice." she replied, calmly.
"Well I know I'm going." I informed, proudly. "Me too!" Debby chirped. "Well, there's nothing else better to do. So I guess I'll come to." Selena decided, her shoulders slumping in dissapointed as she probably thought how boring it was here. I, for one, think this place is just plain adventurous!
"I'll think about it." Brenda mumbled, applying a fresh coat of pink on her pinky toe. "Anyway, now that we've met Brenda how about we meet the rest?" I suggested, turning to my roommates.
"Sure." they both said in unison. We said our goobyes then began our way to the next cabin. "I hear music." Debby reported.
We did another round of Rock-Paper-Scissors and this time Selena lost so she had to go first. After letting out a long sigh, she shuffled up the front porch steps and knocked on the door.
It flung open quickly, exposing the people inside. There on the floor were 2 blonde girls who were braiding each other's hair into perfect fishtails.
On the individual bed were 2 fellow brunettes, each reading a book. Pop music blasted from the speakers doc of the iPod that was precariously placed at the edge of the shelf.
All in all, there were 5 people in the room; counting the girl who was standing in front of us (she had opened the door). "Hi!" she beamed, smiling warmly. "Hey, I'm Sonny!" I greeted, grinning my widest. "I'm Selena." Selena said from behind, shaking the girl's hand. Debby followed the suit and did the same.
"Nice to mee you guys, I'm Bridgit." she told us as she flipped her long dirty blonde hair behind her shoulder. "Mendler?" Debby guessed, stepping forward.
"The one and only!" she replied, crossing her arms proudly. "You're Teddy from Good Luck Charlie!" Debby suddenly screamed, a huge face spreaded across her face.
"And you're Bailey from The Suite Life On Deck!" Bridgit laughed. Debby immediately started squealing like she did when she found out Brenda was roommates with Chelsea Kane and Kelsey Chow, and threw her arms around Bridgit. "Sorry, I'm a really big fan!" she apologized, after Bridgit started to turn purple from being hugged too tight. "It's.. okay." Bridgit managed to stay in between gasps of breath.
"So, uh, can I help you guys?" she asked, leaning against the doorframe. "Not really, we just wanted to meet the other moderators here." Selena explained while trying to calm the now bouncing Debby.
"Oh, well in that case, come in!" She moved out of the way, letting us pass through. We weren't able to get any further though since their floor was just crowded with stackes of tissues and random clothing pieces and nail polish viles.
"Sorry for the mess," she chuckled awkwardly. "We were giving each other make-over's but we got a little carried away." she explained, gesturing to the pile of make-up products in the corner of the room.
"It's alright, we aren't staying long anyway. We just wanted to introduce ourselves." I replied, trying to make her less worried and embarrassed of the state of their cabin.
At the sound of my voice, the other girls in the room stopped in mid-action and turned to face me. "Hey! You're Sonny Munroe!" the short brunette girl said with a gentle-yet enthusiastic-tone in her voice.
"Yup, and if I'm not mistaken, you're Nicole Anderson from JONAS." I answered, taking in her appearance. She did look a lot like Macy anyway, so I assumed it was her.
"You know who I am?" she asked, sounding very shocked. "Of course!" I replied brightly. "I always watched your show back in Wisconsin."
"Oh my gosh, that's great! You're really an inspiration to me!" she admitted, springing up from her seat. "No way!" I gushed, feeling so flattered that someone like her would idolize someone like me.
"Way." she responded as she grabbed my hands and we started jumping around. We received weird stares from the rest of the people in the room, but we ignored it and just continued bouncing around.
Meanwhile, Selena got to know the other roommate; Peyton List, the girl from Jessie (Debby didn't need to introduce herself since they already worked together) and Debby made friends with Kelsey Chow and Chelsea Staub who were just hanging out there until they decided to go back to their shared cabin with Brenda.
We stayed their for a few minutes-adapting to the explosion of stuff on the floor-until Bridgit told us that they were going to start cleaning up the mess already.
We all promised to sit with each other in the campfire, said our 'See you later!'s, then left and sped off to the next cabin.
The rest of the afternoon went by like whirlwind as we entered one shack after the other. By the time it was 6 o' clock we had already met every singe girl moderator.
There were exactly 20 cabins that surrounded the Condor Field. 10 cabins belonged to the girls, while the other 10 were owned by the guys.
2 TV networks were joined together, so 10 shacks consisted of the Nickelodeon Network people while the remaining 10 was full of Disney stars.
We had already met Brenda, Jennifer Stone, and Alison Stoner so that completed all 10 of us from our network, Then, we also hung out a bit with Victoria Justice, Ariana Grande, Elizabeth Gillis, Miranda Cosgrove, and Janette McCurdy from the competing network. We only met 5 of them, but we vowed to meet the rest during the campfire.
"I'm pooped." Selena groaned, once we had exited Miranda's shack. "Me too!" Debby whined as she covered her mouth to yawn.
"Well, I guess we've done enough friend-making today." I declared, pitying their tired looks. "How about we all head back?" I suggested.
"Oh, that would be rich!" Selena moaned. Debby agreed with her. So, being the considerate person I was, I decided to put off my plans of exploring with them, by letting them get some rest.
We entered our cabin and my roommates immediately collapsed onto their beds. I miserabley threw myself on my own, and stared up at the ceiling.
I wasn't at all tired! I was actually more hyped up than ever! After about 5 mintues of just staring into space, my mind hatched an idea!
I stood up and crept over to the corner of the room where my guitar case was nearby. I grabbed it and carefully slung it around my shoulder.
I quietly made my way over to the door-thankfully without making the floorboards squeak-and snuck a glance at Selena and Debby to make sure they were still asleep, then hurried outside.
Everyone seemed to be inside their shacks, either sleeping or talking to their roomates. But I had better plans. I strolled over to the lake behind the row of trees.
It was a few meters away so I decided to jog up to it so I could get there faster. I'm not exactly sure what brought me here or why I even wanted to be here in the first place.
It was just something about it's discreetness and insignificance to others that lured me towards it; almost like a magentic pull.
I found a small tree stump that I soon used as a chair. I set my guitar case down on the soil and unzipped it to reveal my accoustic instrument.
What was I doing? Well.. I was simply getting ready to play a song. It was a childhood habit of mine to always play or write a song when boredome would strike. And since that was the current situation I was in, I decided to put my usual boredome-buster into action.
I tuned my guitar manually (I do best without a tuner. I think listening by ear is more effective) then started strumming a few chords of the last song I had written.
[A/N: Taylor Swift also doesn't exist in my story, but she originally made the song. It's called Sparks Fly, but let's pretend Sonny wrote it]
The way you move is like a full on rainstorm
And I'm a house of cards
You're the kind of player
That should send girl's runnin'
But I kinda know that I won't get far
And you stood there in front of me
Just close enough to touch
Close enough to hope you couldn't see
What I was thinking of
Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile
Get me with those blue eyes, baby, as the lights go down
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile
My mind forgets to remind me
You're a bad idea
You touch me once and it's really something,
You find I'm even better than you imagined I would be.
I'm on my guard for the rest of the world
But with you I know it's no good
And I could wait patiently but I really wish you would...
Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile
Get me with those blue eyes, baby, as the lights go down
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile
You run your fingers through your hair and watch the lights go wild.
Just keep on keeping your eyes on me, it's just wrong enough to make it feel right.
Lead me up the staircase
Won't you whisper soft and slow?
I'm captivated by you, baby, like a firework show.
Drop everything now,
Meet me in the pouring rain,
Kiss me on the sidewalk,
Take away the pain
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile.
Get me with those blue eyes, baby, as the lights go down
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile
The sparks fly...
Oh, baby, smile...
The sparks fly...
I strummed the last note and sighed. I wrote that song the very first time I realized I liked Chad. I can't really put my finger on the day I found out about this, but I know that it was also the day I scolded myself for having such feelings. He was the enemy! And from what I have learned from my cast, you should not fraternize with the enemy!
I was interrupted from my thoughts, when I heard footsteps approaching.
"Chad?" I said, surprised.
"Hey." he replied simply, then sat down on the stump next to me. "What're you doing here?" I asked, raising my eyebrow. He didn't really seem the type to come here at random.
"I just needed some place to think." he shrugged, averting his attention to the lake in front of us. "Why, what's up?" I asked, concern written all over my face.
"Nothing." he sighed as he shook his head. "Chad, I've known you long enough to know when you're lying. Tell me, what's wrong." I stated while rolling my eyes. Did he really think he could trick me into believing him?
"It's really nothing Sonny, well nothing I want to talk about at least." he mumbled, looking down at his shoes. No matter how badly I wanted to know, I decided to back off. He seemed really sincere when he said he didn't want to talk. I had to respect his choice.
"So..." he said awkwardly, after a long silence.
"So.." I repeated, just as awkward.
"You play guitar?" he asked in attempt to break the ice. "Yeah, it's kinda a hobby of mine when I'm bored." I chuckled.
"Cool. You play really good." he admitted, turning his head to look at me. My eyes widened a bit at his compliment. Did the Chad Dylan Cooper just... say something-dare I say it!-nice about me?
He seemed to have read my expression, because no less than a second later, his blood rushed up to his cheeks. "For a Random I mean. 'Cuz, you know, Randoms are talentless." he rambled on, turning into his usual cocky self again.
"Whatever you say Chad." I smirked. This received a glare from him. "But thanks anyway." I smiled, looking at him in the eyes.
He returned the smile and started to make circles in the soil with his foot. "I take it that you wrote the song yourself?" he guessed.
"Yeah..." I murmured, getting a bit embarrassed that he heard it. Gosh, I hope he doesn't realize it's about him! "Do you write songs?" I asked, trying to change the subject or at least get the song off his mind.
"Yeah, just a bit. But that's a secret." he replied, giving me a little wink. "Well, in that case, I swear I won't tell anyone." I said, raising my hand up like I was about to recite a pledge.
"Promise?" he demanded, sticking out his pinky with a sweet, Chad-not-CDC smile.
"Promise." I clarrified, interwining pinkes with him and a similar grin on my face.
