I tried to get to the studios before six. I got there at 5:45 and quickly opened IM.
"Yay! Sonny, you're here early, too!" Tawni chirped while she walked in with Nico close behind. I sighed before turning around and smiling fakely.
"Yup. Let's do this." I said through the clenched teeth of my fake smile. I hooked up the web cam and positioned it towards us. Chad popped up moments later.
"Okay, Chad. Tawni and Nico decided to help us." I said with a sarcastic edge, hoping Chad would catch on. Not a chance. His brows furrowed, then his face went back to normal and he smiled.
"Cool! More help. So, I need help with the next type of girl I should date. I've dated supermodels and.... A guy. I need a new "type"." he said slowly.
"Um, how about... a vegetarian? They are supposed to be understanding of people who eat meat, but they don't eat it. Or a Goth. I hear they're great listeners." Tawni said.
"Hmm. Goth.... I don't know. Vegetarian would probably be good... Thanks Blondie." he replied with a smirk. Was he really that clueless?
"Oh, and the vegetarian should be younger than you and a doll collector." Nico added. I huffed, but no one seemed to notice.
"Uhm, I don't think so. But maybe the vegetarian should be kind of Goth so that she listens, too!" Chad said enthusiastically. He really needed to learn how to choose girls.
"So, sonny? Good plan?" Chad said.
"Mmhmm." I barely squeaked.
"Good." he smiled. He really thought he had figured this out.
"So, we're all going to help you until you find that special someone." Tawni said, and I'm glad Chad didn't know her well enough to know that this was her sarcastic voice.
"Yeah, man. This will be great. Guy AND girl advice. I wish I had that." Nico piped in. They really were playing it up.
"Wow, thanks sonny! You must really care about this." Chad said happily. The guilt in my stomach was bubbling. My stomach felt numb. I didn't answer Chad. Soon, Tawni elbowed me and cleared her throat.
"I- I think I... Uh..." I stuttered. Nico pushed me forward slightly, silently saying 'spit it out!' In a rush, I said, "Uh huh and I'm really glad we're all helping you. You deserve this." I sounded like a robot, but, as mentioned earlier, Chad was clueless to some things.
"Kay. I'll talk to you tomorrow!" Chad said before turning off the webcam.
"Nicely done, guys." Tawni said. She patted me on the back.
"I know you're nervous, but try to stop stuttering. It almost gave us away!" Tawni said, throwing her hands in the air. She took a deep breath and collected herself.
"Hopefully he will find a vegetarian Goth by tonight." Nico snickered. He would. He was Chad Dylan Cooper. He got everything he wanted.
Or thought he wanted.
