Riley Megan Cooper
"Chad! Chad!" a voice called from inside Chad's house, "Little bro, where are you?"
Chad hugged Sonny quickly then said, "I'll be right back. Stay out here," and he ran into his house leaving Sonny standing there like she had been dumped by her date on prom night. She was so shocked she couldn't move a muscle.
Meanwhile, Chad had made his way into his living room to see his older sister, Riley Megan Cooper, sitting in his living room. Riley had blue eyes like Chad, but was a brunette. She was wearing an outfit that looked as though the same designer of the Mackenzie Falls uniforms designed it.
"Chad! It's been so long!" Riley jumped up to great her little brother. She hugged Chad, but unlike his hug with Sonny, he couldn't wait for Riley to let go. Chad was already quite embarrassed as it was, because his older sister crashed his date, but Riley made it worse by saying, "so got any girlfriends yet Chad cause the last time I saw you, you thought dating was for people who were looking to get married." Worse yet, Chad could see Sonny peeking in through one of the open windows behind Riley, and she could hear every word they said.
"I've been dating here and there," Chad said and Riley let go of Chad.
"Were they hot?" Riley asked with a serious face.
"Okay, how do you expect me to answer that?" Chad said but his eyes were on Sonny who was just over Riley's shoulder and whom he hoped couldn't see him staring at her.
"Yes or no, Chad, yes or no," Riley was starting to sound like Chad.
"None of your business," Chad told her, "And– "
"Why are there lights on outside?" Riley had seen the reflection of the backyard in the T.V. Fortunately, the screen blurred Sonny's face with the rest of the bush she was sitting in. Chad tried to stop her but she stomped out to the backyard in an impressive imitation of her brother. Everything still looked perfect, except for the plates on the table which had nothing but a few scraps on them.
"Chad Dylan Cooper, what has been going on out here?" Riley was acting like a mother who found out her son was throwing a party in the basement. Sonny had moved away from the window so she wouldn't look like she was snooping. Riley's eyes fell on Sonny, who was still all dressed up and then glanced over at Chad who was still wearing his very formal outfit. Then something completely unexpected happened: Riley's disapproving frown turned into a grin.
"You must be the Sonny Munroe I've been hearing so much about!" she said eyeing Sonny, as if to see if she was up to standards, "You would not believe how much I've heard about you from Chad! I can't believe you worked up the courage to ask her out, Chad, she is way out of your league! I can't believe she said yes to you!" Riley seemed to be embarrassing Chad on purpose now, because an evil grin spread across her face as she spoke.
Chad put his hand over Riley's mouth, but too late, she had already done the "damage" she had intended to do. Sonny was finding it hard not to laugh and although Chad was greatly embarrassed by Sonny laughing at him, the way she tried to hold her laughs in was really cute, and that made him all the more nervous. With his hand still over her mouth, he forced Riley to follow him back into the house, but this time, he led her into a closet so Sonny couldn't overhear.
"Are you insane!?" Chad yelled at Riley, "I really like her! Please don't mess this up!"
"That's all I needed to hear," Riley smiled and walked out of the closet. Chad was ready to yell more but he wasn't about to yell at her in front of Sonny, and Riley certainly wouldn't go back to talk to Chad in private. Chad walked back out to the backyard, worrying about how to deal with his sister and his girlfriend at the same time but when he got out there, Riley was nowhere to be seen. Sonny was still standing there awkwardly. She must feel REALLY awkward right now, Chad thought. Chad walked over quickly and hugged Sonny.
"I'm so sorry," he whispered in her ear. It sent a shiver down her spine and made her feel like she was going to melt into a puddle on the ground. He kissed Sonny on the cheek and let go.
"I'm going to bed now okay?" Chad said holding Sonny's hand.
"Yeah, I'm tired," Sonny said while holding back a yawn. She started to walk towards the house. Chad let her walk in front of him and then followed, but he stopped without Sonny noticing. On the second floor, there was a light on in one of the windows and he looked up to see Riley spying on him.
"RILEY!" Chad yelled looking up at her window.
"You and Sonny are so cute, Chad," Riley said with a sour smile on her face.
"Ugh!" Chad said before storming into the house and up to his room. The door to the guest room was open slightly and Chad could see Sonny. She was just laying on her bed with the happiest smile on her face….. until she noticed Chad looking in her room and told him off for peeking in because, "What if I had been getting changed!?" Chad couldn't help but smile while Sonny was yelling at him which made her yell at him more. Something had just occurred to Chad though. I forgot to tell Riley that Sonny will be staying over for the rest of this week! What will I do? What will I do?
