AN: Just a small correction. In the last chapter when Sonny said: "Tang Su Do, Chad. Since I was ten. I know that since you're such a great actor, you don't have to do math. But that's ten years", I re-read it and realized it should say "Tang Su Do, Chad. Since I was six. I know that since you're such a great actor, you don't have to do math. But that's ten years" Making her 16, not 20 =]

Well…that was officially the most awkward moment of my life. My cheeks were still hot from the walk-in. I stayed in the bathroom longer than I needed to until I cooled down. About fifteen minutes after I got out of the shower, I finally convinced myself to walk out of the room and go to the others. I mean, it's not like Chad saw me completely naked. Ugh. I shook my head rapidly trying to make the memory come out through my ears.
As I stepped out and into the living room, everyone was wrapped up in whatever they're doing, and Chad wouldn't look me in the eye. And the awkwardness continues…
"Oh hey Sonny!" Tawni said when she looked up and saw me. "We were just about to play spin the bottle." I groaned and rolled my eyes, "Tawni, I told you I didn't want to do that!"
"Well, you know the rules. If you don't play you can't stay. We'll call you back in here when we're done." she smiled at me knowing that I'd definitely play under those conditions. I really hate missing out on things. It feels horrible. Tawni pulled that rule on me before, and I couldn't stop wondering what happened for months. "Alright. Whatever. I'll play." I surrendered. Stupid peer pressure.
"Kay, who wants to spin?"
"Me!" Portlyn volunteered. I heard she was some sort of expert at spin the bottle and could always make the bottle go where she wants. Not so sure if that's a good thing for me or not. She went first and the bottle of ketchup spun torwards Nico. Then she spun it again and had it land on her. Predictable. After she set up the second most predictable pair, Tawni and Devon [which was just so cute]. But Chad caught on, so he demanded that Nico spin instead. Portlyn reluctantly agreed and her fun was cut short. After that, it was Grady and Chloe, Tawni and Nico, and finally…it landed on Chad. I felt everything inside of me freeze. One way or another, he was kissing someone. He didn't seem to like that, and had a sad face on. "Can I just pass this turn?" he asked hopefully. "Chad, you just heard us preach the rules to Sonny. Scared?" Portlyn taunted. Chad scoffed, "Scared? I'm Chad Dylan Cooper. He isn't afraid of anything." he said obnoxiously. "Way to find another way to refer to yourself in third person, Chad."
I didn't know if I wanted it to be me, or someone else. Confusion. I hate that feeling. I can't even look Chad in the eye, let alone kiss him. So I crossed my fingers and prayed for the bottle to land on someone other than me. The bottle spun slowly…and slower…and slower…came to me…and landed on…Tawni? What the crap? I mean, I know I didn't want to kiss him, but, Tawni?
She didn't seem bothered by it at first, and neither did he. She grinned at him and he smiled back. Not smirked, smiled. What. The. Crap. I wasn't grinning anymore like I had been the rest of the night. Why couldn't he have kissed Portlyn or Chloe? I saw them kiss on Mackenzie Falls so many times that it didn't bother me anymore.
They leaned in closer very slowly, as if to taunt me. As they made contact, I felt something in me shatter to a million pieces. It wasn't a very passionate kiss, just a quick peck. They both made disgusted faces afterwards and raced each other to the bathroom to wash out their mouth. But still, I was mad. Furious, in fact. Jealous. Every negative emotion known to man.
After Tawni and Chad returned, the bottle landed on Devon and me. A mischievous plot formed in my head. I enthusiastically scooted myself to where Devon was. It started out as a peck, just like Tawni and Chad. But when Devon was about to pull away, I threw in even more and kissed him with as much passion and anger as I could possibly hold. Our hands moved up and down each other's bodies as my tongue slipped in his mouth. I felt nothing. It was like kissing a hollow shell with stiff lips, yet the revenge was satisfying for me. 5...4...3...2...1.
We finally broke apart, and everyone was wide-eyed, including Devon himself. I looked at Chad and Tawni, who were definitely the most shocked, and smiled. I scooted back into my place where a satisfied smile. Mission accomplished.

What the hell just happened? Was Devon the guy that Sonny likes? My own co-star? But, Tawni likes him…I knew she could be mean, but she wouldn't be that mean, right? She has to like him though. Why else would she kiss anyone like that if she didn't like them? She's not the type to randomly make out with someone she has no feelings for.
Tawni and Portlyn locked eyes, with a mix of shock and worry showing in their faces. Devon was still touching his lips, and Sonny, the one who caused all of this, just sat innocently like nothing ever happened. "It's getting late…I think we should go to bed now." Chloe finally said, breaking the silence. "I think so too." Nico said. "We've had enough of our share of porn for the night."
Everyone started moving to their own sleeping bags, but I still sat there speechless. Portlyn eyed me, "You okay?" she asked with concern obvious in her voice. "Yeah, I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?" Portlyn nodded her understanding. Of course, I was the opposite of fine. I was…this strange feeling I've only ever felt once before, when Sonny went on that date with James. Jealousy? That sounded about right. I'll stick with that for now. Jealousy. Mark the time and place. Chad Dylan Cooper, is jealous.
TPOV
Well, that was…interesting. I wasn't mad at Sonny, because I could tell she did it out of jealousy from me kissing Chad, and that's what we wanted her to do. As everyone was pulling out their sleeping bags and trying to find their pillows that were scattered across the room from the fight earlier, Portlyn and I looked at each other, and she motioned for the bathroom. I nodded, and tapped Chloe's shoulder. The three of us walked down the short hallway to Sonny's cotton candy colored bathroom.
"It worked!" Portlyn squealed when the door closed. "But it was Devon. I mean, I don't blame Sonny. I would've done the same thing, and that was the point. But did you see Devon kissing back?"
"You can't blame him either, Tawni. He's a teenage boy. Plus, he likes you. Not Sonny." Chloe comforted. "Yeah…you're right. I'm awesome. Who wouldn't like me?" I said, and they giggled. "So what's next?" Chloe asked.
"Next, we sleep." I yawned.

When I looked up and saw that the girls left the room, I was mad. I couldn't believe they left me with the guys! Do they seriously think that it wouldn't be awkward or anything? They all keep looking at me weird, like I've gone insane or like I'm a totally different person. Well, the last part is kinda right. Tonight I unleashed a side of me that only a few boys back in Wisconsin have seen. But there was some emotion in Chad's eyes I couldn't recognize, but I knew it wasn't positive. Anger? Dissapointment? Does he think I'm a major slut? And if he is angry…why is he angry?
Thankfully, Chad, Grady, and Devon went to the kitchen to get a midnight snack. Nico walked over to where I was sitting and looked at me worriedly. "You okay, Sonny?" I sighed, "Yeah, but I think I'll be better tomorrow." he put his hand on my shoulder in a comforting way.
The girls came back into the room, and Chloe eyed the hand on my shoulder suspiciously, her questions obvious in her raised eyebrows. "No" I mouthed to her and shook my head. "Oh" she mouthed back and nodded, as Nico took his hand off of my shoulder and went into the kitchen with the boys.. I glared at the girls for leaving me in what is now competing for the title of "Most Awkward Moment in Sonny Monroe's Life". They shrugged and plopped down on their sleeping bags, except for Tawni who seemed to be deep in thought. I suddenly started to feel bad for doing that with Devon. I mean, I know she likes him and it's just spin the bottle. It's not like she wanted to kiss Chad. I turned my body torwards her and made eye contact. I half smiled, and she blinked. Apology accepted.
"Whoa, what was that? Did you all just have some sort of super freaky silent girl conversation or something?" Chad said, and we all looked up at the boys. We were so absorbed in our "super freaky silent girl conversation" that we didn't even hear them walk back in the room. I couldn't help but smile at his voice, and unintentionally made eye contact with him. I tried to mask my smile with annoyance, and groaned. "Welcome back."
