Don't Cha - PCD


Sonny woke to her doorbell ringing. She pushed herself off her couch lazily and opened her door. The cast of So Random stood in front of her.

"What are you guys doing here?" she asked, surprised at their unannounced arrival.

"More like what are YOU not doing on set." Tawni retorted

"Oh. Um, I wasn't feeling that well." Sonny said, adding a cough to fit the act.

Zora raised her eyebrows wow Nico and Grady eyed her suspiciously.

"You're a terrible liar Sonny. Tell us what's up." Tawni sighed. She didn't care often and now that she did, it better not be a waste of her time.

Sonny backed up into her apartment and let the cast inside.

"Nothing's up, guys. Everything's fine I just.." she thought for a second, "..I just had a headache."

They didn't look convinced.

"I'm serious." she forces herself to laugh. "I mean, thanks for caring but there's nothing to be worried about."

Nico and Grady backed Sonny up, being gullible as ever.

"Daang, just let Sonny have a break." Nico exclaimed. Grady agreed.

"No, no I don't need a break. I'll just get changed and um, we can go back to the set together." she suggested. "Alright?"

They shrugged and made themselves at home. It made Sonny smile. They really were like her family.

She went into her room and dug out some clothes from her drawer. She picked out dark washed skinny jeans, and black cap sleeved t-shirt and a black hoodie.

As she began to to up the clothes, she realized it was a bit too dark. She didn't normally wear such dark clothes...it would make her look suspicious.

Chad's words came into mind.

And she looks hideous in those fatsuits she wears so often.

Stupid Chad.

Oh yeah? she thought. I'll show you who's ugly! Or...rather who's not ugly...!

She searched around her room and discovered hidden in one of her drawers a black pleated miniskirt. She on to that while she looked for a top. Finally she decided upon a fitted cute white t-shirt and a grey cardigan overtop. As a final touch, she placed on a black belt that rested stylishly below her chest.

Then she searched for the makeup she hardly wore. It lay abandoned in one of her drawers. Ah hah! she thought in success. As she didn't really like makeup she applied very little.

As she slipped into her black pumps, her castmates barged in.

"Hey!" she exclaimed, annoyed at their lack of manners and ability to knock before entering.

"What's taking you so long?" Tawni complained, hidden boredom dripping on her words.

"I could've been changing you know!" Sonny talked back. It's not like she was boring them to death or something. Her house was perfectly fun and interesting. Sort of.

"Don't worry Sonny, we're all girls here." Zora said happily.

"Hey!" Nico and Grady said, in unison. Sonny stood up.

Grady and Nico's jaws dropped in awe. Zora's eyes widened. Tawni just tsk-ed disapprovingly as if she knew what Sonny was up to.

"S-sonny...you look so different." Grady stuttered. Nico nodded in agreement.

So it was working already. she thought. Sonny smiled and shrugged, "C'mon guys let's go back to the Studio now. You seem pretty bored with my apartment"

She struggled to walk normally in her heels. Behind her she could hear Tawni's snickering.

It only made her more motivated to show everyone up.

They walked the halls of Condor Studios full of confidence. Well, Sonny did.

"So are you like, trying to be prettier than me?" Tawni asked angrily. Zora slapped her forehead.

"NO! No, no Tawni you know you're the prettiest." Sonny reassured her. The blonde pouted but let it go.

This'll show Chad.

Stupid Chad.

Clearly he needs glasses.

Chad and the cast of Mackenzie Falls sat at their usual spot in the cafeteria that day, eating lobster. Again.

He poked at his seafood unappetized (which was kinda weird considering lobster was one of his favourite dishes) Thoughts of Sonny and worst case scenarios filled his head. Then again, could things get any worse?

As if on cue, Sonny and the randoms entered the cafeteria. As Chad continued to daydream, he felt Portlyn wack his arm.

"Hey-" nobody touched Chad Dylan Cooper without permission! That's when he noticed what she was fussing about.

Sonny.

His deep blue eyes widened at the sight of her. She looked...different. And something seemed different about her, too. She... .. she had presence.

As he stared along with everyone else, Sonny walked right past him as if he didn't exist.

He was so, so wrong. Things really could get worse. Sonny was giving him the silent treatment? What? No one gave Chad Dylan Cooper the silent treatment!

Then again, Sonny wasn't no one.

The other randoms settled down at their table while Sonny went to get them frozen yogurt. She had to admit, she liked the sudden attention. And hell yeah, she was proud to say that she completely ignored Chad. She wondered what he was thinking of her though..

"Can you believe all this attention she's getting? UGH, I'm the pretty one. I'm the rich one. I'm the popular one. Geez."

"Shut up Portyln." Chad muttered and ignored the death glare she gave him.

"Dayumm bro she's hot." Trevor said.

Chad put on his bib and began eating his lobster. While his mouth was occupied, his mind wandered. She seemed so confident all of a sudden. He glanced over at her table and saw her laughing her annoyingly cute laugh. Sigh.

"Yo do you think I should ask Sonny out?" Trevor asked randomly and to no one in particular.

"What?? NO." he said, a little too concerned. "I mean.." he thought of something off the top of his head. The obvious point hit him. It was the reason he never confessed his feelings for her anyways. "I mean, why would you? She's a random." he tried to sound disgusted at the mere thought of dating a random.

Chloe snicked and whispered something into Portlyn's ear. She laughed(more like cackled)

Sonny wouldn't say yes to Trevor if he did ask her out...would she?

"Dude are you blind? That girl's got it going on." he licked his lips.

Please, I knew that a long time ago. Chad thought.

"Why is everyone looking at me?" Tawni asked proudly with a flip of her hair.

"They're not looking at you, you fool! They're looking at Sonny!" Zora exclaimed.

"But...b-but I'm the p-pretty one!" she started bawling. Zora slapped her across the face.

"Snap outta it women!!"

Sonny smiled. Sure, the 5 inch heels were killing her feet, but on the bright side, everyone was finally noticing how not ugly she is.

Take that Chad.
