Chapter 7

*Sonny's POV*

Dear Mom,
We have been filming for about three weeks now and it is going very well. The cast is still amazing and the director, Jason Fernell, is really helpful with everyone and answers any questions I have really easily. The weather is fantastic! Not one rainy day yet. Well, except today. But since of the rain, Jason decided to not film today. It's really good to have a break, even though I don't get to see my new friends of the cast. That's why I invited them all over today to have a game/movie night tonight! I even invited the director and two people of the camera crew who are really funny. I'm sort of surprised they all accepted to come, even Tawni agreed to participate! But I think that's only because she has a crush on one of the actors, Riley Smith. And before you ask or Skype you and me embarrass me by someone hearing me, yes, I do have a crush on one of the actors. And no, I am not going to tell you. I would also really appreciate it if you didn't bug me about it, Mom. lol. As soon as I'm positive no one will over hear me, I'll call you and tell you all about it. Well, I should go to get ready; the food will be here any minute. Oh! Yup, the delivery dude just showed up. I miss you and love! Bye!
-Sonny

*Chad's POV*

I pulled into my jeans and a green polo shirt and went in the bathroom to brush my teeth. I wasn't really too animate about the whole game night thing, but I would partake in it so Sonny wouldn't bug me about it and I didn't have anything else to do. Sure, Shannon had called me like, 10x's to come over, but like that would happen. She was way to snobby and, well... Blonde. (No offense to blondes.)

I headed upstairs when I ran into Sonny.

"Oh shoot! Sorry, Chad. Can you actually help carry in the food and some ice from the delivery truck, please?" She asked quickly.

"Sure, Sonny." I replied easily, and I followed her downstairs. I sighed. Once upon a time I wouldn't have even thought about helping Sonny. Back in California, I would have said no with no hesitation and a smirk and would have just kept on going with my life... Sonny was wearing off on me, not good.

We emptied out the truck with the driver's help, who by the way, at my dismay, flirted with Sonny the whole freaking time. I even swore he had touched her. But of course, Sonny being Sonny, didn't notice, and just smiled and was completely nice to the dude. After setting up the entrees on the table and putting the ice in the coolers, I plopped on the couch and groaned.

"That was a work out." I said, closing my eyes. I opened them when Sonny had sat down on the chair next to my feet.

She snorted and rolled her eyes.

"You didn't have to carry 3 bags of ice up 4 flights of stairs because some certain people didn't wait for me for the elevator." I said, glaring at her.

She laughed. "All right, all right, I'm sorry."

"Now how many times have you said that the past 3 weeks..." I said, fake wondering.

She swatted my leg. "I'm an apoligizer, get used to it."

"I have, Sonny." I said, chuckling.

She sighed. "Are you engaging in the fun games tonight?!" She asked enthusiastically.

I laughed. "Engaging? That's an odd word to use."

She rolled her eyes. "Fine, are you participating in the fun games tonight?"

I sat up on the couch and shrugged. "I dunno."

"I think you should just to show the cast that you aren't a complete jerk." She said simply.

"Do you think I'm a complete jerk?" I asked curiously.

She blushed and looked down, shrugging. "I don't know..."

I chuckled again. Why does she have to be so cute sometimes? Anyways, if Sonny doubted my jerkiness, I should probably step it up a notch.

"I guess I have to be extra annoying more often, then." I replied grinning.

Sonny stood up and walked over into the kitchen. "You can try, Chad. But I think I'm growing immune to it."

I grinned. We'll see.

Just then Tawni, Nico, and Grady all walked in. Behind them were Brenda, David, Aaron, Cody, and Riley.

"Did you guys all cram into Aaron's corvette or what?" I joked.

Some of them just stared at me, no glared... But Riley chuckled.

"Nah, we just all got caught in the same traffic on the bridge and ended up together." He said, coming over to sit on the couch.

"Gotcha." I replied. At least I know one of them doesn't hate me... I said to myself.

"Where are Jason, Tom, and Gene?" Sonny asked.

"Oh hey Sonny! I didn't see you there!" Aaron said, walking over to her to give her a hug.

I had a random burst of anger. Now there was a kid I would never get a long with. He was such a jerk and was rude to me and didn't even acknowledge me sometimes. Yeah sometimes I do that to people, but I don't do it to the extent like Aaron does it. And he only does it to me! He only ignores me.

It's just because you're the only threat he has to get through to get to Sonny. My inside told me, when Sonny smiled and returned the hug.

I shook my head. What did Sonny see in him?

"So, where are the rest?" Sonny asked again.

"Jason called me to tell you that he couldn't come because his wife was having their baby in Ohio. So he is not going to be here till Monday afternoon so we are off filming till Tuesday." Brenda replied, sitting at the counter. David, and Cody joined her at the counter. Tawni sat down on the seat next to the side of the couch Riley was sitting on, and Grady and Nico headed over to the table with the food and started eating from it.

"Don't eat all of it guys!" Sonny warned them.

"We won't." They replied at the same time, mouths full.

Sonny sighed and turned her attention back to Brenda. "Aww, that's adorable. We should skype him later and see if we can see his baby!" Brenda smiled and agreed.

"And Gene and Tom are out doing their own thing."

"Where are Natasha and Harley?" Nico asked from the food table.

Natasha and Harley are two girls from the cast that just have minor parts in the movie. Nico and Grady had come to one of the filmings and Nico had met Harley and hadn't stopped talking about her.

"They called and told me they were going to be a half hour late." Tawni replied.

"What should we do till' then?" David asked.

"Well... we could just sit around and eat and mingle." Sonny said.

Aaron laughed and put his hands on Sonny's hips "Yes, let's mingle." He said into her ear, but we all heard.

Everyone laughed but got up and got a plate of food and started chatting and laughing with one another. I tried not to glare at Aaron's hands, but it was a but hard... Aaron was standing behind her and towering her because of his height.

Sonny gave a nervous laugh and put her hands on his and took them off.

YES! I screamed in my head with enjoyment. I laughed at myself and shook my head. I shouldn't be too happy, but I got a feeling Aaron was bad news...

*Sonny's POV*

I took Aaron's hands off my waist, laughing a little, facing him.

He frowned for the littlest bit of a second, but then went back to his smiling self.

"Hey, Aaron." I said, smiling at him.

"Hey. So what are you going to do on our days off?" He asked.

I thought about it for a second. "Hm… Probably just hang around at the beach… Unless it is supposed to rain, then I'll probably just watch movies all weekend or something. Might go shopping, I don't know."

"Well, if you ever get bored or annoyed with anybody here, you can always call me." He said, looking at a person over my shoulder.

I knew he was talking about Chad because Aaron like refuses, to accept Chad or something. I don't know.

I rolled my eyes. "How bout' you come over tomorrow and if it's raining, we can go do something?" I suggested.

His smile grew even bigger. "Really? You mean it?" He said enthusiastically.

I chuckled at his reaction. "Yeah, of course."

"Okay then." He said, still smiling. "Do you want some lemonade?" He offered.

"Yeah sure, but I'll get it."

"No, no. It's fine. I need an excuse to go over to the food table." He said, winking.

Aaron left to go get food and I went to the couch where Chad was eating part of an Italian Sub.

I plopped down.

"Hey Sonny." He said, his mouth full of food. He swallowed and asked, "So what's the first game on the agenda?"

"Uhm... I don't know. I was thinking maybe we could all do a tournament of UNO or Slap Jack." I said, thinking.

Aaron came over and sat down in the chair beside me, handing my lemonade to me.

"Thanks." I said, before taking a sip of it.

"You're welcome. And I think we should play Slap Jack instead of UNO." He said.

"Yeah, I think that would be a better game to play because some people play UNO differently and what not." Chad agreed.

I shrugged. "All right, Slap Jack it is. I'll go get my laptop really quick to type up a tournament thing." I hesitated. "On second thought, I really don't know how to make one."

Aaron answered first. "I'll make it. I make one every year for my Dad's football party." He offered.

"Cool! I'll go grab my laptop real quick." I said, standing up, heading towards my room.

"I'll come with you. I don't think you'll want any food or liquids spilling on to your laptop." Aaron said, following me.

"True."

I walked into my bedroom with Aaron following me and went to my bed where I had left my laptop earlier and sat down. Aaron sat next to me and took my laptop from me.

"Dell Inspiron 15…" He said, examining it. "Pretty good laptop."

I smiled. "Thanks. My mom got it for me before I came here. She didn't want me hauling my computer all the way across the country." I said, laughing.

He chuckled. "People would have thought you were the weirdest person ever."

I sighed. "Yeah… They probably do anyways."

He looked at me. "You shouldn't think that way."

I laughed, startled. "What? Knowing people think I'm weird? I work to be weird, Aaron. I don't mind it." I grinned. "Now, are you going to make up the document, or are we just going to stay in my bed the whole night?" I said, laughing.

"Well…" He said, pretending to think.

I slapped him on the arm playfully. "Make the dang thing, Aaron. I'll be in the other room. Print it to WiPrint45 when you're done." I said, standing up.

"You aren't going to stay with me?" He asked, sad.

"I have guests to entertain."

He faked a puppy dogface. "Fine…" He sniffed.

I rolled my eyes. "Remember, WiPrint45." And I walked out the room.

*Aaron's POV*

While Sonny walked out of the room, I sighed in frustration. She just didn't notice, no matter how hard I tried to flirt with her! She didn't even flirt back. Maybe she just doesn't like you... My brain said. I laughed at the thought. Of course she likes me. Everyone likes me. Every girl that is. Well, even boys. Chad didn't like me though, but that's only because I was going after Sonny. And anyways, she even sort of accepted my date for tomorrow.

I went back to Chad. He was so annoying, always in my way of Sonny. Sonny didn't seem to notice, which made it a little bit better, but there has to be some way to get rid of him.

I bet as soon as Sonny has accepted to liking me and starts going out with me, Chad will back off. Hopefully. I sighed and opened up the program that made the tournament set ups. There was another thing opened at the bottom of the screen - Google Chrome: MIA EMAIL. I glanced up at Sonny's bedroom door to make sure no one was coming in or anything, and I clicked to open it. Email Sent. It read. I clicked on the recently sent emails and clicked on the way one that was sent 40 minutes ago.

I quickly read over it and was awe struck. Tawni liked Riley? Well that made sense; she'd only been drooling on him since the first day of filming. But what really got me was that Sonny had a crush on one of the actors, but on which one?? I pondered.

I smacked myself in the head. Duh. Me. Who else? I told myself with complete confidence. But what if it's Chad? I definitely had to do something about him.

I heard someone walk in and I quickly went back to working on the tournament document.

"Hey Aaron. Natasha and Harley just came, so add them to the list, and Sonny was wondering if you are close to being done yet." Said whoever had walked in.

I looked up and it was Chad. I tried not to glare when I replied, "Okay. I'm about finished."

"Alright." He said simply and started walking back out.

"Wait, Chad." I called.

He walked back in with a sort of annoyed expression. "What is it?"

I smirked. Oh how I enjoyed making him angry. "Just wondering, Sonny's open, right?" I asked. I didn't really plan on saying that. But I might as well get it over with.

Something flashed across his face but I didn't catch his reaction because he quickly regained himself to his smirk. Damn. I wanted to see him get angry.

"Of course. Why wouldn't she be?" He replied, and walked out.

I grinned. This could be fun. Winning over Sonny, and hurting Chad.

I quickly finished the tournament set up and printed it out.

*Tawni's POV*

"Tawni! You are supposed to hit the card." Natasha exclaimed at me.

I rolled my eyes and yawned. "Why don't we just say I lost and you won?" I suggested.

"But that's no fun…" Natasha whined.

Sonny came over and asked what was going on.

"Tawni just told Natasha that she could just say she won because Tawni doesn't want to play." Nico said.

Sonny glanced at the tournament sheet in her hand and grinned and looked back at me.

"You know, Tawn. If you win the next two rounds. You go against Riley." She said, casually.

I rolled my eyes and pretended like I didn't care. WHICH OF COURSE WAS A LIE. Having the chance to slap cards and 'accidentally' hold Riley's hand?! Of course I was going to try and win!

"Fine. For the sake of having people the chance to have fun, I'll play." I said, acting like I was really bored.

I ended up beating Natasha in the next 5 minutes because of how determined I was. She looked at me like I was crazy.

"On second thought… I'll just accept your offer of just letting me win…" She tried.

I laughed. "Nope. I offered, and you denied. Sorry." I replied, grinning. She walked away grumbling.

The next one I was up against was Chad. Easy. Half way through the game I noticed Chad wasn't really playing. I got a little annoyed. I wanted some competition. "Chad, Sonny is on the top so far, if you win the next 4 rounds, you go against her." I knew that would kick up his playing.

He laughed. "And that would interest me in what way?" He asked, grinning at me. I could so tell in his eyes though that he was hurting the tiniest bit. Wonder what's wrong with him... I shrugged and just ignored it and beat him easily.

YAY! Time to touch Riley's hand! I went to sit in front of Riley.

"Hey Tawni." He said, smiling at me.

"Hey." I said, a little shakily.

"Lets see..." He said, looking down at the tournament sheet. "So whoever wins, goes against... Brenda." He finished, looking up at me.

"Do you care if you win?" I asked. I needed to know if I should let him win or not.

"Well, yeah sure. But you better not go easy on me. I like competition." He said with a wink, laughing.

I laughed with him. Okay, I'll give him competition. "You asked for it." I said, grinning.

Our game ended up going on for 45 minutes and everyone was watching towards the end because they needed our results to continue the game. Nico and Harley were on the couch cuddling. I guess they had officially gotten together...

"Oh man!" Riley exclaimed when I had slapped the last jack.

I smiled. "I gave you competition." I replied, laughing.

He laughed along with me. "Yeah you did." He said warmly, staring at me.

I blushed and turned to Brenda who was next to him. "Ready?" I asked.

"Of course!" She said with a lot of enthusiasm.

I let her win easily because I didn't really care if I won or not now that Riley was out.

"Good game Brenda." I said to her when we had finished. I stood up to find Riley, but my searching wasn't necessary because he had stayed to watch Brenda and I.

"Hey, Tawni. Want to watch the sunset with me?" He asked, taking my hand.

"Sure." I replied, trying really hard to hold in my glee.

Before we could go outside, Sonny said in a loud voice. "The sun is setting and I was wondering if we could all stand outside and watch it together." Everyone agreed and we walked outside.

There was only so much room on the balcony in the back, so Riley, Sonny, and I went up to the crow's nest sneakily so we could get the best view of the sunset.

"Sonny, this is wonderful." Riley said to her, watching the sun with glistening eyes.

He was so fantastic and caring... I thought dreamily.

He turned to me and I glanced away, making sure he didn't think I was staring.

"Tawni. Do you like me?" He asked, taking my hand again.

"Uh..." I said hesitantly.Oh what the heck. "Yeah. Yeah, I do. I was actually planning on asking if you wanted to go shopping tomorrow." Liar. I accused myself. I was so expecting him to say no, because what guy wants to go shopping? But I expected wrong.

"Really? Cool! I like you too, and yeah let's go shopping. I was thinking about giving myself highlights. Want to help me out?" He asked, grinning like crazy.

Wow. This is to good to be true... I thought, amazed. "Yes! Of course."

He smiled a smile even bigger and leaned down and kissed me right there, in front of Sonny. He pulled away and smiled when he saw me smiling. "That's fine, then?" He asked, hesitantly.

"Of course." I replied, kissing him on the cheek.

He grinned and then quickly looked at his watch. "I have to head out, but I'll see you tomorrow. I'll pick you up at noon." He said, smiling. He squeezed my hand and gave me one last kiss before heading down the stairs.

I squealed and twirled around. Sonny laughed at my reaction.

"Wow, Tawni. You definitely set a record at getting a guy." She said, still laughing.

I chuckled with her but said, "Maybe. But I don't think so. You definitely got Aaron hitched the first night." I said, pulling out my cell phone to quickly email my mom. When I was done, I looked up to find Sonny gawking at me.

"What?" I asked, confused.

"Aaron likes me?" She asked.

"What? Duh, he likes you Sonny! It's so flipping obvious! How can you NOT see it?!" I exclaimed at her. I almost didn't believe her! She looked totally dumbfounded.

I groaned. "Really, Sonny?"

She shook her head. "I guess it is pretty obvious..." She said, thinking about it.

"Yeah. It definitely is." I said, rolling my eyes. "So when are you guys going out?"

"Uh... I think we have a date tomorrow?" She said it in a questioning way.

I sighed in frustration. "Ugh, Sonny. What are we going to do with you?"

"Give her to me, and I'll straighten her out." Replied the very voice of the boy that Sonny was oblivious to.

"Hey, Aaron. Try to talk some sense into Sonny." I said, walking towards the steps.

"See you later, Sonny." I called, and walked down the stairs.

*Sonny's POV*

"Hey A-aron." I stuttered.

"Hey." He replied, smiling.

"So, I heard something..." I said, regaining my sanity.

"And what is that?" He asked, walking over towards me.

"It's pretty ridiculous..."

"I'll be the judge of that." He smiled, stepping closer to me.

"Uhm, well.. There's a rumor going around that, uh, you possibly like me?" I said, questioning him.

He grinned.

"It's true?" I said, gasping a little.

He chuckled. "You have got to be the most oblivious person on the earth, Sonny Munroe." And then he kissed me, right then and there. He put so much force into to it that we backed up and fell onto the lounge chair, me on the bottom.

I pulled my head away and help up my hand.

"Wait. Wait. Wait." I said through gasps of air. Then I looked at him. "What?" I said, totally confused.

He sighed in exasperation. "I like you. You like me. We'll make the greatest couple on TV..." He said, continuing into a tune of Barney. He laughed and went to kiss me again.

I stopped him. "So that's why you want me? For publicity?" I asked, annoyed.

He chuckled. "Course' not. I really like you Sonny. And you like me."

"And how do you know that?" I challenged him.

He grinned. "I'm just special like that." and then he kissed me, and this time I let him.

*Chad's POV*

I watched the sunset with the rest of the people but was bored after awhile. I looked for Sonny on the balcony but didn't see her. I started walking towards the crow's nest but was stopped by a hand on my arm. I looked and it was Tawni.

"What's up, Blondie?" I asked, pulling my arm out of her hand.

"I wouldn't go up there if I were you." She said, pointing to the crow's nest.

"Why not?"

She sighed. "Unless you want to be hurt Chad... I wouldn't. And don't look at me like that." She said when my expression went into a smirk. "I may be insensitive sometimes, but I know people. And you will get hurt if you go up there." She warned me.

I rolled my eyes. "I'm Chad Dy-" I started to say.

"The whole world knows who you are Chad Dylan Cooper. Fine, if you want to go up there, be my guest." She said, giving up and walking off.

I watched her go with curiosity, but I shrugged and headed up.

"...I really like you Sonny. And you like me." I heard Aaron say. I stopped dead and waited and listened.

"And how do you know that?" Sonny challenged him.

"I'm just special like that." He said, and then Sonny gasped.

I quickly went up the stairs, thinking Sonny was in trouble but stopped dead at the top. What I saw, I almost couldn't comprehend. Aaron on top of Sonny, kissing... And Sonny kissing back.

I felt something in my chest but didn't wait to understand what it was. I bolted down the stairs, through the living room, down the other flight of stairs, to the carport where my car was and hopped in I started driving off, not caring what the people in the house were thinking.

I didn't know how Tawni knew. But she had gotten it just about right.


Pretty weird chapter up there. ^^^^

I don't think I really knew what I was writing... I was just, writing. lol

The whole Tawni's POV wasn't really necessary, but oh well.

I hope you guys have a nice weekend! I'm going to a Phillies game tomorrow! I CAN'T WAIT! Bye!
