Hey people! I know the last chapter completely sucked and you guys are probably wondering when filming is actually going to start. I am too, wondering that. lol. Maybe it'll start this chapter! I have to mentally prepare myself for that part because truly, I'm not too sure what the movie is even going to be about. I was thinking about basing the movie off a fiction story I wrote a while back… But I'm still not sure. Try not to be mad at the story (and me!) and stick with it!

Also, I would really love if people reviewed my story and maybe gave me an idea or two of what to do? I'm not sure if I'll use it, but at least it will show me that people are enjoying my story and actually like, thinking about it.

Maybe that's too much to ask? Yeah, probably is. I'm sorry, especially since the story is like going nowhere right now… So sorry. lol. Well, I'll let you read Chapter 6!


Chapter 6

*Sonny's POV*

I slammed the door shut of my room and fell onto my bed with a groan. Tonight had started out okay, but then turned into a nightmare. I tried to think of the good things so I didn't run downstairs right now and start hitting Chad to death.

I sighed and tried to calm myself down. I had just gotten home from the dinner with the cast. It had gone pretty well, the cast was completely amazing and they were all so nice and I couldn't wait to start filming scenes with them. I got up and walked over to my dresser to get my laptop out of its case. I sat on bed with it, leaning against the headboard and I opened my email. There were 2 emails from my mom and a couple from family. They were all asking pretty much the same things, if I could tell them about the cast and what kind of stuff I would be doing. I decided to send the same email to all of them and I clicked on the 'Compose' button and started typing.

-Hey guys, thanks for all of the congratulations! I really appreciate it. It's been such a long road to here, and I'm glad I finally made it. I decided to write this email to all of you because I wanted to make sure you guys all got the same amount of information. I have to remind you that you can't share anything I tell you about the movie to the press - or I will be fired.

So! THE MOVIE! Oh my gosh, the cast is PHENOMENAL! I just came home from sort of a 'meet and greet' dinner with all of them and it was a great night to start off the summer! [I paused. I know that wasn't completely true seeing as what happened after the dinner... But I shook that out of my head. I was not going to tell them about that. I went back to typing.]

The movie is basically about a girl, Mellarose (me) who is a photographer and her parents are in the Peace Corps and get in some trouble with this corporation that is now trying to take over the Peace Corps all together. To try and get to her parents, they try to kidnap Mellarose but she and some friends are helped out by some Peace Corps undercover people that are looking after her. They end up asking her to help figure out some clues Mell's parents sent them in pictures to try and tell them where they were hiding. The pictures have some sort of, code? in them. Or something, I'm not really sure. I didn't really understand it, I'm just remembering the lines they give me, lol.

There is a guy that is new to her town, Rex White, and he is suspected to be one of the, well lack of a better term, 'bad' guys. Then, well, I guess you'll have to wait for the movie to find out what happens! Haha. Mellarose lives in the small town of Calabash, North Carolina, but goes to Sunset Beach every summer. So, half the movie is filmed in Calabash, half in Sunset. We are filming the Sunset beach parts first though. I'll tell you who is playing who.

Mellarose's brother, Geric Candow, is whom she stays with because her parents are on business all the time. Tom Welling plays him. Geric owns a deli in Sunset Beach, Quality Lights, and some of the workers are the main cook, Dike Tinera (played by Gene Hackman), the assistant cook, Dean Markle (David Henrie), and one of the waitresses/Geric's on and off girlfriend, Nikki Liends (Madeline Zima). Mellarose has two best friends, Connor Vola and Mika Vola. The pronunciation is Mee-ka. Mika was adopted from Korea, but she is one month younger then Connor. Aaron Renfree and Brenda Song play them. Mika has a boyfriend, Dylan Cortar (Cody Linley). There's the jock/jerk named Ben Purny, who is played by Riley Smith. And his girlfriend, Lindsey Hall (Tawni).

I thought of Tawni's character. I had mistaken my director when he said Tawni would be playing 'my' best friend, she is actually playing the total opposite, 'my' evil arch nemesis. I apologized to Tawni over and over again but she wouldn't accept them because she didn't really care who she played, as long as she got to be on screen.

I thought about not mentioning Chad's character, seeing as my family would be bugging me about it because they understood about how we don't really get along. Well, some of them do. Defiantly not my girl cousins. They always complain about how I was always so dumb not to like Chad Dylan Cooper and about how we should "TOTALLY GET TOGETHER!" They always screamed at me in a shrieking way. I rolled my eyes. Like that would ever happen. I knew my girl cousins would be bugging me to put something in about Chad, so I sighed in exasperation and added in who he'd be playing.

I talked about each actor/actress and how nice and helpful they were, giving me advice of what to do. Some of them hadn't really acted in many things either, so I wasn't the only one. I ended the email by wishing them well and how I would keep them updated about how I was doing.

I looked at the time-11:30. I decided I should probably get ready to bed. I undressed out of my dELiA*s Shyla Knit Dress (Kelly green) and Alta Braided Slingback sandals into a pair of sweat pants and a t-shirt. Then I washed off my make up and combed my hair out a couple of times before sliding under the covers and going to bed.

The only problem with that whole routine, I ended up not going to bed. What I did end up doing was just thinking about the evening dinner. About what had happened with Chad. I groaned.

Chad had shown up fashionably late, as always, with some slut chick at his side as his date when the director had nicely stated that it would only be the cast at the dinner. So, Chad had broken the rules and pissed of a couple of people, including me, big SHOCKER there. His seat was directly across from mine so there was no way I could ignore him. I had tried to though. Really did.

I had talked and laughed with the cast the whole night, not saying one word to Chad or his date. After the dinner the actor who is playing Mellarose's best guy friend, Aaron Renfree, had come up to me and asked for my phone number, I replayed the moment in my head.

Flashback:

"Hey, Sonny! Wait up." Aaron called, putting a hand on my arm.

I turned around and smiled. "What's up?"

"Can I have your cell number? You know, just incase I need help with my lines or something." He said with a wink.

I laughed. "Sure." I gave him my cell number.

"Do you need a ride home?" He asked, looking hopeful.

I started to say 'sure' but someone interrupted me.

"Yo, Sonny!" Chad had called form behind me.

I turned his way and glared. I didn't want to be rude in front of Aaron so I smiled and gave him a little wave, turning back to Aaron.

"So I want you to meet my date, Shannon. We met on the beach today when you were busy reading, funny story of how it happened..." He said still talking to me.

"That's great Chad, really great. I'll talk to you at the house." I said, interrupting him, not turning.

"So do you need a ride?" Aaron asked, ignoring Chad.

"Yeah, yeah. Sure." I replied with a smile. We started walking in the direction of his car but Chad had stopped me, again.

"Sonny, you brought a car, remember? And Shannon here actually brought me here and she said she has to go so I actually was wondering if you could give me a ride."

I thought I heard Shannon say that she never said anything like that but Chad cut her off quietly and told her he would call her later.

I shook my head, annoyed.

I looked up at Aaron. "Sorry, Aaron. I guess I forgot." I laughed a little to bitterly. "I'll call you later or something."

He frowned in disappointment. "Okay. See you soon." He leaned to give me a kiss on the cheek but Chad had started pulling me on the arm and said, "I need to get home soon, Sonny. A handsome actor needs his beauty sleep."

I resisted the urge to kill Chad and just said goodbye to Aaron and stalked over to my car with Chad following close behind me.

We got in the car and I started driving down the highway, trying to ignore Chad. We had to go off of Sunset beach to get to the restaurant because they didn't really have them. After awhile, Chad spoke up. "So... Who was that kid you were talking to?" He asked awkwardly.

"Aaron Renfree and maybe you would know that if you hadn't brought a date to the dinner like I had told you not to do and got to met him and the other actors." I replied viscously.

Chad flinched a little but regained himself and put on his smirk. "Even if I hadn't brought Sharon to the dinner, I wouldn't have remembered the actors names. I don't usually care all that much for them."

"Shannon." I said.

He looked at me with confusion. "What?" He asked.

"That girl you brought tonight, her name is Shannon. You called her Sharon." I replied with annoyance. Then being annoyed at myself that I was sort of standing up for the girl that had kept Chad from noticing me at all tonight.

I did a double take. No. I didn't mean that. That is not what I meant to think. No. I shut my eyes quickly and shook my head, trying to forget what I had just thought.

"Are you all right Sonny?" asked Chad.

I glanced at him and he was looking at me with his lovely blue eyes, actually full with an emotion that actually might be concern.

I looked back at the road and went off the exit that headed toward to the entrance to Sunset.

"Fine. Thank you." I replied, forcing it through my mouth.

"So... this Aaron fella... He was sort of hitting on you..." He said, turning to look out the window.

I rolled my eyes. "Possibly. He probably now thinks I'm a freak for forgetting I drove here." Then I remembered what Chad had done.

"ALSO. Why did you have to interrupt Aaron and I? You could obviously see we were talking, Chad! Why did you even interrupt us?! Why do you have to be so self-centered?! Why didn't you go back to Shannon's place and make out with her?! Isn't that the only reason why you asked her out?!" I suddenly screamed at him, turning onto the bridge of Sunset.

He stared at me in complete bewilderment because of my random outburst. Sure, it was random, but I was so tired of Chad, AND IT WAS ONLY THE FIRST DAY OF SUMMER! How was I supposed to live with him through the whole freaking 3 months?

-End of Flashback-

I sighed and rubbed my head to get the gnawing of guilt out of my head. I didn't really regret yelling at Chad, but I regretted accusing him of just using that girl for her 'goods'. I knew Chad wasn't that kind of guy. I groaned and got out of bed and headed down the stairs to Chad's bedroom. I decided to apologize - of course.

*Chad's POV*

I walked into my room, speechless. I put on my sweat pants and white tank top, speechless. I got ready for bed, speechless. I got into bed, speechless.

Sonny had accused me of using a girl to just make out with her! Maybe even go farther! Maybe I used Sharon...or Shannon? to show Sonny that I could get a girl no matter where I am, but I would never use her in the way Sonny had said. I couldn't believe Sonny said that.

Did Sonny really see me that way? Is that how she really saw me? I asked myself. I was depressed... No, something a little stronger? Heartbroken? Maybe? I wasn't sure. I'm confused...

There was a knock on my door and I asked who it was. "It's Sonny and I really would like if you would let me in." She replied, pleading.

I sighed. "You can come in, Sonny."

I sat up in bed and turned on the bedside table. Sonny came in wearing gray sweat pants and a blue t-shirt. I smiled. She still looked pretty.

She walked in awkwardly and stood there, in the doorway, for a moment, before throwing apologizes at me. I got up quickly and put my hands on her shoulders.

"Wait, sh, wait, slow down Sonny." I said soothingly and lead her to sit on the bed.

She took a deep breath and let it out.

"Okay," she began, "I am very sorry for yelling at you in the car and I did not mean what I said." She finished. I sighed. Thank goodness. I thought to myself.

"Well, except one thing." she said, turning towards me.

I take that back... I groaned inside my head. "What?" I asked in a nasty way. I didn't wait to hear her answer and I stood up, facing her. "You know Sonny, I may be a jerk, but I would never take advantage of a girl. Ever. I don't care what you say, or think. But I'd rather not listen to you while you accuse me of..."

Sonny cut me off. "Chad, the exception was that I did mean you being self-centered. And I know that is not why you are mad. Because everyone calls you self-centered." She said, crossing her arms.

"Oh..." I said, then smiled. Yay! Sonny didn't think I was a rapist of any kind! That's a plus...

I then frowned, remembering what she said. "I'm not always surrounded by myself, Sonny. I do care about other people... Sometimes. You know... my fish for one." I said, trying to make her smile. It worked, she even laughed.

"Alright, Chad. I'm sorry for calling you that too. Do you forgive me?" She asked, with her big brown eyes.

I shrugged. "Fine, but you really hurt me Sonny. It hit me in here." I said dramatically, pointing to my heart. "I guess you owe me.."

"Oh no!" She interrupted me. "I am not owing you anything! This time, you were totally asking for it."

I sighed and said "Fine." I was too tired to fight. "I think I'll go to bed now..." I said, heading to bed.

"Night, Chad." She said, walking out of the room.

"Goodnight."


Okay, well, to tell you the truth, I had to rewrite this chapter twice because my computer shut down and I, of course, forgot to save it. THAT is why it took so long for this to be uploaded because I was so mad that I couldn't even go on fanfiction. So I apologize for two things: 1. For this being late 2. For this being late. Hope you can forgive me, lol.

I think this chapter was pretty good, actually. I'm proud:) Hahaha. Oh, and Demi's performance on SWAC tonight was flawless! I loved it so much. And I'm not sure I like Sterling's new hair due, but I guess I'll live, lol.

&& My birthday is tomorrow and I'm finally turning 16:) 15 just seems to young anymore... Lol. I hope you guys enjoyed your spring breaks and Easter! See ya!
