A/N – So guys, I seem to have my writing ability back. I updated SOTF the other day, and now I'm updating this. And even better, this seems to be the longest chapter I have written in a while. YAY, let's hope that my next updates on my stories will be even longer. Honestly, I miss all my long chapters.
Anyway, rant over, I hope you enjoy this, and see ya at the bottom.
Thursday 26th April 2012 (4 weeks later).

Before school
It's been exactly 4 weeks since we were assigned the science project, exactly half way until it is due, and I've gotta say, I'm very proud of myself, and, even Sonny.
I went to Sonny's house to do some more work on the project; we ended up being up so late working, that she invited me to stay in the guest room.
"Good morning, Mr Nerd." She called as she knocked on the door.
Oh shoot! I didn't have any clothes to change into.
"Morning, Princess." I called out.
"Can I come in?" She asked.
"Sure." I replied, scrambling out of bed.
As she walked in, I said, "Sonny, I've got no clothes to wear. We're going to have to stop by my house."
"That's already taken care of Mister. I rang your mom to let her know why you weren't home, and she dropped the clothes off for you a while ago." She stated.
"Um… You rang my mom?" I queried.
"Yeah, I wouldn't be a good host if I didn't tell her where you were." She justified. "Now, hurry up mister, and get ready. We haven't got long until we need to be at school." She said, sounding like my mom.
I quickly jumped into the shower, and got myself ready. Soon enough, I came out of the shower and we jumped into Sonny's car and went to school.
At school
Science was first up this morning, which was good because Sir needed to check how our projects were going.
"Mr Cooper and Miss Munroe, I think you two are going to get an A+ on this project. It's looking really good so far." He told us.
After school
After school, I went back to Sonny's house to do more work on the project. Well, at least that was the plan.
Whilst working we started talking, and it turns out, we have more in common than one would have thought.
I haven't mentioned it before, but my dad died 6 years ago, and it turns out that Sonny's mom has too died. So, I guess that caused us to sort of bond.
Sonny explained that's the reason why she's such a diva. She used it to mask her pain at losing her mom.
"Oh gosh, Sonny. I misunderstood you." I admitted.
"That's okay, Chad. That was kinda of my plan. I didn't want anyone to know the truth. It hurts so much." She cried.
I decided I'd better be there for her, so I hugged her, to let her know I'd be here for her. I've lost a parent; I know how hard it is.
"I'm here for you Sonny. Anytime you need, feel free to talk to me." I told her.
"Thank you Chad. Y'know, I thought you were just an annoying nerd, but now I see, you're actually not that bad. I guess we both judged each other a little too harshly." She said, continuing to cry. "For the record. If you tell anyone about mom, or me crying, look out." She joked.
"I wouldn't dream of it." I told her solemnly. "So Sonny, what day was the accident?" I asked her.
"Well Chad, I'll never forget the night my daddy told me. It was 5th June, 2007. I was 12 years old at the time." She told me.
"Sonny, if you're okay with it, on the anniversary this year, I'd like to organise a little memorial for you." I said.
"I'd like that. Thank you, Chad." She cried.
We spent the rest of the night, just watching a little bit of TV. Neither of us were up to doing more work. We ended up falling asleep on the couch whilst watching TV. Oops.

"Hello, Jodie Cooper speaking." Mrs Cooper answered.
"Mrs Cooper, this is Sonny Munroe, I go to school with Chad." I told her.
"Oh, hello Sonny, do you know where my son is?" she asked me, concerned.
"Yeah, he came over to my house after school to work on our science project. I'm really sorry Mrs Cooper, but he ended up falling asleep here." I informed her.
"Okay Sonny. I'll drop around soon with some clothes for him." She replied.
I then went and got myself ready.
Ding Dong.
"Hello?" I asked the door, confused. Who rings someone's doorbell at 7:30 in the morning?
"Sonny Munroe?" The woman asked.
"Yeah…" I replied, confused.
"I'm Jodie Cooper." She replied.
"Oh, Mrs Cooper. So you've got Chad's clothes?" I asked.
"Yeah, here you go Sonny." She replied, handing me the clothes and walked off.
I sat Chad's clothes on the table, and decided to wake the boy up. After all, it wasn't long till school.
"Good morning, Mr Nerd." I called out jokingly as I knocked on the door.
"Morning Princess." He replied, in the same fashion.
"Can I come in?" I asked.
"Sure." he answered, sounding like he was squirming outta bed.
As I walked in, he said, "Sonny, I've got no clothes to wear. We're going to have to stop by my house."
"That's already taken care of Mister. I rang your mom to let her know why you weren't home, and she dropped the clothes off for you a while ago." I stated.
I gave him the clothes and left him to have a shower and get dressed.
Soon enough Nerdy was ready and we were on our way to school.
Friday 27th April 2012 (The next day).

"Oh dear." I called out.
"What?" Mr Nerd called out, lying next to me.
"What happened last night?" I asked. It's weird; I couldn't recall anything.
"Oh." He replied… obviously realising the position we were laying in… On my sofa, together. "Um, nothing bad happened, Sonny. We just must have fallen asleep whilst we were working." He added.
"I sure hope so… but I don't recall a thing." I told him.
We then got up, and got ready. Today was a good day, although it was a Friday, we didn't have school, so we could just hang out, with our new found friendship.
Mrs Cooper was aware that Chad was at my house again, and that he might have to stay over.
Ding Dong – I walked over to the door.
"Hey Sonny." My friend Meg called as I opened the door.
SHOOT! Chad is here.
"What are you doing here?" I asked, rudely.
"I am your friend… I want to hang out with you." She replied, snarky.
"Well, go away. I'm busy." I snapped.
I then closed the door in her face.
Oh my goodness, that was a close one.
When I got back to the sofa, I told Chad, "Uh, dude, we have a problem."
"What's that?" He asked curiously.
"Uh Meg, my friend from school, she just wanted to hang out. She nearly saw you." I replied, a little nervous.
"Sonny, don't worry, when we know it's all clear, we can hang around at my house, or something if you like." He said confidently.
In the end, we just decided to have a day of watching TV, and surfing the net, we ignored the doorbell, and just had fun getting to know each other more.
CPOV
"Oh dear." Sonny screamed, waking me up. Wait, why was Sonny waking me up? Why could I hear her so well? Oh shoot. That's right; we fell asleep on the sofa together.
"What?" I asked her, a little worried by her tone.
"What happened last night?" She questioned. Lol, poor Sonny. She must have thought I'd taken advantage of her or something. Na, not me. Mr Innocent Nerd.
"Oh. Um, nothing bad happened, Sonny. We just must have fallen asleep whilst we were working." I told her. Lol, poor Sonny.
"I sure hope so… but I don't recall a thing." She replied.
I decided to get up and I had a shower. After what happened yesterday, we thought ahead and got some clothes before coming around here.
Just as I got out of the shower, Sonny was at the door, yelling at someone. Hmm, what's with this girl and yelling?
She slammed the door closed, and then gave me some horrible news… That was her friend… Who nearly saw me.
In case you haven't yet got the point, Sonny is a popular, I'm a nerd, therefore, we are supposed to be enemies.
No-one can know about our friendship. So, uh, yeah… That's bad that we were nearly found out.
A/N – Okay guys, I decided to end it there. Hope you all enjoyed that now. And I'm sorry to those who still want the "socially awkward Chad" I've decided to speed things up a bit, because I don't plan on having this story going much longer.
Review, and see ya's next time. Oh and when you review, let me know what you think of the new review system. I like it :)
