Chapter 5 Arrivals

"Lick it off!"

The chant was endless, and time only seemed to ticking forward without any care who it was leaving behind. Sonny could only hear the voices around her and all she could see is Chad's feet in front of her, and his left red-stained white shoe. It was that stain that Sonny must erase from his sight using her tongue. Gross. This was crossing the line of power, this was just not right at any level.

Yet, Sonny placed her two hands down to the floor to guide her upper body slowly anchoring herself closer and closer to the floor. Sonny subconsciously came to a halt half-way still in great hesitation. It was at this moment the crowd went silent.

Was she really going to do it?

"You were wrong!"

A voice echoed through the cafeteria as the loud creaking of the cafeteria doors slowly opened and closed again to welcome the faceless visitor. The crowd gasped and sudden movement to their left and right cutting a straight path down the middle to the doors of the cafeteria. Sonny picked herself up as she noticed that air in the cafeteria had turned thick with whispers.

Sonny looked up to find Chad's face distorted with anger of some sort and had his vision focused straight ahead. Sonny followed his gaze to find that the missing member of F4 was standing right in front of the big cafeteria double doors.

"You were wrong…." Hayden spoke again with a smug, typical boyish smile as he walked closer to the center of the circle where Sonny, Chad, and a nameless shaking girl where at the center.

"You were actually an hour off, it's actually a nine-hour difference…." Hayden arrived to stand a good two or three feet from Sonny's right side. Hayden already knowing Chad's temperament, didn't even bother to acknowledge his burning gaze, yet. Hayden kept staring down at Sonny, who by the time Hayden came close to her was staring at the floor in embarrassment. Who wouldn't? She was close to licking ketchup off a guy's shoe….

Chad peered down to Sonny's face that was now more clearly visible to him, however not to Hayden. What was that creeping to Sonny's checks?

Is she blushing?

"I-I'm Sorry…" Sonny croaked out as she continued to avoid eye contact with Hayden who was still piercing down at her. How embarrassing could she possibly look? She was covered in egg and flower and not to mention belittled in front of the whole school. Such a fool Sonny felt like at that movement.

Chad looked at Sonny careful as she spoke with a more red flush attacking her clear, and pale porcelain skin. Chad quickly took a look to his left to see Hayden smiling down at the girl as she still avoided contact. What was happening? Is there a spark between the two?

Chad looked at Hayden who he expected would have left by now, was still standing there as if showing retaliation. Hayden at this moment looked up to give Chad his casual acknowledgement, but starring kindly to him with a small smile. Hayden wasn't budging at all…

All because of this girl? Was she that special?

Is this rage? It was building inside of Chad as he continued to look between the two, Sonny who was a red-faced mess and Hayden who looked no different than any other typical day. The rage was now building behind his eyes, as electricity and fire was clearly displayed in his light blue eyes.

Why was he angry? Was it because Hayden was protecting his target… Well that was Chad was convincing himself at the moment. It displeased him greatly to look down at Sonny who could still not compose herself just by the mere presence of Hayden. As if Hayden's presence made a difference, as if Hayden was better than Chad.

Being a spoiled child he was, Chad wouldn't accept it. Chad couldn't stand it anymore to just stand here to see her lose composure just for some guy who lacked in many things. Chad however was perfect, and the fact that Hayden was still there and wouldn't leave got Chad more angry.

Oh, a headache was slowly spreading through out his whole brain…

How much it hurts…

Chad's breathing quickened a bit in anger with an attempt to control himself. He was not going to give Hayden or any of the F4 members and better yet the school of him losing his composure. He was still going to win, and the only way to win at this point is by doing the unpredictable.

"It's over…" Chad mumbled so only Hayden and Sonny could hear. With that Chad stormed out of the cafeteria by slamming the doors wide open and have the noise echo in the dead silence.

"What just happened?" Nico asked Trevor, who out of the two can usually pick up things faster. Trevor took a minute to respond by observing the cafeteria mainly at Hayden and Sonny who were still in the same spot.

"Alright, it's over!" Trevor spoke out as he shoed out the audience as he too followed Chad by walking out the cafeteria. Nico only followed suit by shoeing off the audience as well, as he too left the cafeteria. The audience also followed suit as whispers soon became carried out in the hallways.

Sonny could still feel the pressure of someone standing there. Of course, it was still Hayden who was waiting for something. Sonny looked up shyly up to him with a confused stare and her image being a mess at the moment made her feel embarrass to look at him who was in comparison to her was, nice and clean. Hayden didn't seem one bit bothered by the fact the fact she was dripping with egg yolk or that the flower made her look even more pale.

Hayden only responded with a smile and that was all he wanted. Hayden followed suit and left the cafeteria to leave the two girls by themselves.

Sonny laid down onto her welcoming bed as she used the towel around her neck to dry off her hair. A good hour shower she took once she got back home, and luckily her mother was still at work. She had no idea how she was going to explain why she was so dirty. Of course Sonny, before leaving school stayed in the bathroom for quite a while cleaning all that she could with just water and the paper that was dispensed in the bathroom. She almost used up a whole new role of paper, gosh who knows how many trees were cut down to be used to clean yolk and flower off of her.

Of course, she had to explain to Zora who was awestruck when Sonny arrived home. Sonny only pushed it off as a small joke saying that there was a food fight in lunch, who surprising bought it. Zora and her ideas of fun.

Sonny couldn't help but smile as she recalled the events of today. Of course getting sticky and itchy from the flower and egg wasn't exactly the best part. However having Hayden come to her rescue and be there was just like a prince in shining armor. Her prince charming.

How childish…

Sonny only giggled as she continued to dry off her hair in a more hyperactive manner than before. Here she was a full grown teenager talking about princes and shining armor.

"Shall we go for another round?" A tired voice asked once again to the person in the backseat who would solemnly say anything.

"Yeah…and Will?"

"Yes, master Cooper?"

"I-I never mind…."

"Alright….."

The man didn't hover any more on the subject. He continued to drive forward by starring cautiously and obeying all rules of the road. Will knew something was in fact bothering Chad, ever since he was a young boy he would randomly ask for car rides around the city, it was a sort of stress-reliever for Chad and for years he still asked Will do it for him. Will knowing very well, that Chad received his driving license in the beginning of the year, but still sought him out and asked him. However this request was odd, because he simply asked to be droved around in a specific area.

The same area were they were previously the night before. Where Will caught Chad staring at Master Hayden and an unknown girl.

How many times have the circled the area by now? A good five times, the block was big enough that it would take a good 10 minutes to complete a full cycle around the block. Yet, every single time there was a precise moment that by now Will had caught on to. There was a specific time when Chad would briefly scan the place and then ignore everything else.

It was the same location of last night.

It was as if, Chad was trying to find someone….

To be truthful, Sonny wasn't expecting any of it.

Her morning today, was very normal just like any other day. She looked behind her the whole time she heard the leaves or grass shuffle. How paranoid she felt, by the time she got to school though it was just anticipating what was going to happen. She opened the doors carefully in fear of there being a bucket or some sort of device that would spring out of no where and cover her completely with an unthinkable object.

Her walk to her first period class was some sort of surprise. People she didn't know were actually greeting her, and calling her by her name. What was going on? All the more greetings that came and cheerful smiles that were thrown at her made her more suspicious and sick to her stomach.

Don't even get me started during her first period class. Everyone actually helped her catch up in class, not that she needed it but she has been so stressed lately that fitting homework and test just make it worse. However there was a line of people offering their notes to her. Not that she didn't mind this kind of, what would you call it? Does it even have a name for this kind of situation… well anyway the point is, despite their futile nice attempts Sonny could still exactly call all of them friends…

"Look, there she is!"

"Son-Bon!"

It was no one else than the two fierce leaders of the F4 Fan group, Chloe and Penelope. They both rushed over as soon as the doors swung open and Sonny entered the cafeteria. They both came a little to close to comfort, and were both sporting the 'adorable' smiles of theirs that anyone could tell was used on people they liked.

"How is your day?" Chloe asked as she perkily gave Sonny a friendly shake of the shoulder to kind of wake up Sonny from the zombied-look she was having.

"Yeah. Son-Bon… Were friends right?" Penelope asked in a much higher and feminine tone that was sugar-coated of course.

"Well, I don't know…"

"Of course we are, silly!"

"What?"

"Yeah, Son-Bon…" Penelope continued to test Sonny's patience with this annoying new nickname. "Do you know how worried we were for you, constantly being teased and harassed…"

"But you guys didn't look like it-"

"Well how can we-two simple girls- defy Chad? That is like, superhuman for anyone here to do…"

"Yeah, Sonny You understand, right?" Chloe spoke again holding Sonny's hand with her own and feigning of look of hurt. "We were just scared, and not sure what to do…"

"Okay…." Sonny replied awkwardly as she took her hand back without any hesitation. Not only was she creped out by their behavior but by how close they were pretending to be with her.

"And look, to show you our great devotion to you…" Chloe covered Sonny's eyes, as Penelope gently guided Sonny to the center of the cafeteria. Chloe slowly uncovered her eyes and gently turned her around to let Sonny look at the wall in front of her.

"Look!" Penelope pointed to the F4 Bulletin wall, that was once had graffiti written all over it shunning Sonny out as a slut of the school had now disappeared. Completely. "We had hired professional people to come in here and clean it super early, like before anyone got here…."

Penelope out of the two, Sonny could tell wasn't the brightest, but heck all this really did make her happy and feel relieved that Chad was actually keeping to his word. It was all over.

"No way, really?"

"I'm telling you Lucy… It's like all of it never happened." Sonny stated again as she carefully tagged all the items on the shelf on the newest discounted sales, and the newest hot items.

"So everyone, turned a new page?" Grady asked who was manning the register and was comfortably seated in the cushioned seat in front of the register and computer.

"Yeah, Grady that's good way of putting it…" Sonny smiled as she continued to label all the items on the shelf. However Lucy was simply following Sonny around for her to continue as if she knew there was much more to be spilled.

"So?"

"So, what?"

"Anything new from the 'prince?'" Lucy asked who also caught onto the nickname Sonny had secretly given to Hayden. Sonny smiled scrunching up her nose, and shook her head with a definite no.

"I didn't come across him today…" Sonny sighed and only smiled again.

"But, Hey Lucy…" Sonny spoke out cheering up a little. "Do you think I should go to a high-expensed party?"

"Did he invite you?"

"No, it was the two girls of the fan group I told you about earlier…"

"Oh, the fake 'sugar coated friends'?"

"Yeah, them…" Sonny nodded with a bit of chuckle as the instinct display of disgust written all over Lucy's face. "They invited me over to go to a party for some sort of greeting for someone that they refused to tell who, was coming…"

"Well…" Grady said interrupting Lucy. "The logical thing to me, at this point would be-"

"To go!"

"What?" Sonny and Grady turned to look at Lucy as if she had gone crazy, who knows after hearing the cruel stories of the rich reality, who wouldn't go crazy?

"I mean everyone is treating you nicely, so why decline?"

"But I don't think I'll fit in…"

"Well, what's the dress code?" Lucy asked finalizing the theory in her mind.

"They said to go 'casual'"

"Then, you'll find right in!" Lucy gave Sonny a pat in the back. "Just wear your casual clothing and there!"

"Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to go, right?"

"Yeah, and besides… 'you-know-who' could be there!" Lucy squealed in delight of Sonny being Cinderella at the moment to pay any logical sense to what could possibly happen. Grady just watched as the two girls continued their chatter of clothing, make-up and hair.

"I don't know, but Sonny… I'm getting the feelin' that you shouldn't go-"

"Don't be silly Grady!"

"Okay…" Grady was immediately silenced, but still continued to feel strange about Sonny going to this party.

"Oh no!" Connie cried out. Sonny and Zora slightly jumped at the higher note their mother hit. "Why didn't you tell me sooner? I just spent money going grocery shopping! I could given you some money to buy a dress and everything!"

"Mom. It's okay, besides we need that…" Sonny reached for the living room table to pat her mother's hand that was laying flat on the table. "Besides, I'm sure I can find something I can wear….It's only for one day."

"Yeah, mom… no need to cut back on food." Zora spoke with a mouthful of spaghetti that was the main course for dinner for them today.

"You sure, sweetie?"

"Of course, Mom."

"If you say so…"

"The next flight arriving is from Paris, France…"

An automated voice resonated loudly enough to surpass all the load ruckus going around the area. Airports are usually loud and filled with a lot of either happy or cranky people who are reunited with people they lover or either missing their flights. And don't forget to add the happy or sad kids. It is all scattered energy floating around that was creating quite the tension.

Or, it could be because two certain boys were refusing to make-up…

There was Hayden seated on the front row on the first seat on the left and Chad was also there sitting on the same row, but all the way to the far right. The tension between the two was hard to believe, for friends that have been together for so long refuse to see eye to eye. And I mean that in a literal sense.

"Can you believe them?" Nico whispered to Trevor, who was too busy whispering unheard words to a flight attendant that just clocked in several minutes ago. She was at first trying to deny his charms but needless to say like many previous woman before her, she feel very hard. Trevor had this woman like melting ice-cream on the cone. Within a couple of minutes the flight attendant said her goodbyes to Trevor who promised to give her a call next time.

We all know that was never going to happen…

"Are you guys still fighting?" Trevor asked as he took a seat in between the two of them. The ice was enough to rendered him speechless for the remainder of the time period, Nico also tried to follow suit by trying to crack jokes to lighten the mood, but all jokes feel on deaf ears. Every now and then he would get a response from Hayden, but Chad wouldn't budge.

Nico and Trevor sighed. They knew Hayden's temperament will cool off when you give him space, however Chad it always was unpredictable. Despite him carrying the role of the leader of the four of them, he was actually the most sensitive one of the most. Only the F4 members knew that The Great Chad Dylan Cooper was afraid of bugs. Or that he has a big sister-complex. They all know Chad very well, to the point that everything can be a blur and turn unpredictable.

"The more you think you know, the less you actually know." Trevor sighed as he looked between the two and placed his head in between his hands.

"Selena!" Hayden jumped from his seat at the sight of a perfect petite woman walking with a crowd of people looking star struck at her beauty. Amazing, how Hayden can every time tell her apart first out of the four of them. Her figure somehow glowed amongst all the rest, and her face was like a ray of sun that made her unique.

"Hayden!" Her sweet voice chirped through the loud chaos that always occurs in airports. She too quickened her pace at the first sight of the four familiar men waiting for her, just like the always had every time she would come back to visit. She practically lived in France, so she had a permanent residence there. However she did miss the moments she spent with all of the four boys.

Hayden didn't waste anytime to run up first and go and envelope her in a tight hug. Selena was very much used to this kind of welcoming with all the boys, she loved them all like brothers and were all very dear to her. Selena responded to the hug by wrapping her arms around Hayden's neck and patting him in the back.

"Welcome back, Selena!" Hayden's smile was hidden from her as he buried his face deep into her neck as his chin rested firmly on her shoulder showing all signs of endearment.

If only time could stop at that very stop...

"It's nice to see you, Hayden…" Selena smiled as she two enjoyed the hug while it lasted. She made sure that the hug didn't last too long, before she broke the hug and smiled her beautiful and cute smile of hers. She then rushed over to Nico, and Trevor who were the next to stand up and casually walk over to the duo.

"Hey Selena, how are you?" Nico hugged her briefly.

"Just fine, thank you."

"Selena."

"Trevor."

The seriousness broke between the two, and the just smiled like children as they just spontaneous burst into a hug and laughter. What a heartwarming sight.

Hayden still stood in the same spot were he was. He watched Selena make her way hugging the rest of the members, and slowly make her dramatic slow walk to Chad who was still sitting down in the same spot. Hayden could only sighed as he watched her treat him no different than any other member. They were all childhood friends it would be hard for there to be something more than just friends, right?

"Chad. Dylan. Cooper."

"Selena. Gomez."

"Come here, don't be such an ice cube!" Selena smiled that irresistible smile of hers that no one in the group could ever turn down. Chad only managed to smile at her open arms that are waiting for him to comply. He stood up and smiled and gave her the hug she so desperately wanted.

"You haven't changed at all. You dork…" Chad mumbled as he lightly patted her smooth brunette hair. His height only provided that view of, the top of her head.

"Speak for yourself! I bet your still Mr. crabby-pants who still cries for his sister!" Selena put enough distance so she could come face to face with Chad, and lightly poke his nose with her finger. Chad was left appalled as he noticed people were beginning to stare.

"Stop it, there are people starting to stare."

"Crabby…"

"Hey Selena, I heard your recent album went high up on the charts?" Nico asked as he watched the two of them bicker lightly back at each other. Something's just never changed. Oh, how much they love to go at it with each other. "Congrats…"

"Oh, yeah it did. Thanks Nico."

"Let's not talk about your business…" Hayden interrupted as he stepped forward and walked towards Selena. "You should be relaxing, I hear of your busy schedules all the time in magazine articles. You should take care of yourself better-"

"Oh, Hayden you know all that stuff is usually over exaggerated.."

"Yeah, sure. But now that your standing here, I can see you lost weight-"

"That's Hayden for you…" Trevor spoke as he patted Hayden in the back. Hayden only pouted and stayed silent. "Why bother trying Hayden. Selena's head is just as thick as Chad's…" Trevor added by reaching over and patting the back of Chad's head who only responded by brushing his hand away. Chad automatically resettled his position of his hair, and stood unfazed by his witty comments.

It was nice to be reunited again. Hayden, Nico, Selena, Trevor, and Chad.

"I really do appreciate your concern, I know you mean well…" Selena smiled at him as she glanced around all of the four men around her. "Well let's go! I'm sick and tired of being at the airport…"

"Wow…"

Sonny entered the gates of this amazing house. It was like stepping into that magical world again. The front yard wasn't as big as Chad's, but it still beat her front yard any day. Right as she walked here there were bodyguards and big gates that stopped anyone without an invitation from going inside. Once she spoke her name, and he checked the list he then opened the gate door for her and well that where Sonny is still standing right now. Literally.

A lovely crème-white house with a wonderful fountains that you expect to find in those strange moments in Hollywood movies. It was like out of a movie, it was so grand, carved by expensive stone. The fountain, seeped down like a waterfall, that followed down the steps. Splitting the wide staircase in half, without actually getting the steps wet at all.

This place was beyond words. Just by the abstract fountain-staircase thing, Sonny could tell this person had artistic taste for abstract things. Can't wait to go inside.

How was Sonny dressed? Well, Sonny took Penelope and Chloe's word and came in her best pair of jeans that were black skinny jeans, and paired it off nicely with a fancy shirt that had a deep shade of purple. The shirt was a bit old so it didn't exactly hug her body as tight as it was supposed to, but it did the job nicely so that she didn't look all rags.

Her first High school Party! How exciting.

Sonny walked up the enchanted steps and ignored the sign that was right beside the door, that was in some way hidden behind the beautiful blooming bush.

If only she had read what it said, well then maybe she would save herself from sure embarrassment.

Sonny opened the heavy doors, and everything was almost exactly how she imagined it to be. A center staircase curved in odds angle that was made to look unsafe to the eyes, but you never know until you climb them. The stairs then lead to upstairs to where the balcony formed and doors upstairs could be seen. The floors were polished, and even the furniture was abstract. How beautifully dressed everyone was-

Wait.

Wait.

What?


Yay! Another chapter Down! :D

Okay, I know there wasn't any Channy in this chapter, but your waiting will be over in the next chapter. (Just by reading the title, people will squeal!)

So, let's clarify for anyone that might be lost. (Skip if you got all this... XD)

Chad let the "war" between the go, why? He was getting aggravated that Hayden was there, and well this was the second time he was interfered with his plans. So, he knew he couldn't prolong it even farther, and he didn't want to exactly want to use force on his friend.

Hayden saved Sonny.

And yes, Chad was subconsciously trying to see if he could spot Sonny somewhere when he was in the car. (Stalker XP) As to why, he wanted to see if Hayden and Sonny met often or if it was just coincidence. Basically he was just reassuring himself of Sonny and Hayden's relationship.

Yes, everyone is treating Sonny nicely now. Why? Her status has become the rebel and the cool kid because of her raising popularity of actually able to defeat F4.

Hurray! Selena was finally made her appearance! She is basically the girl of the group, like the 5th member-sort of…. You know what I mean right? She is like a sister to all, and great friend at the same time. She's like one of the guys, that's the image I want everyone to understand.

As for the party, you can just guess what trick Penelope and Chloe played on Sonny right? XP

Alright! All understood now? I hope. Thank you for all the reviews, and I really meant it! I having a lot of fun writing this story, and it's a thrill to read all the reviews!

Don't forget to drop you opinions!

P.S. Some of you guys are really good at predicting what is going to happen next, your opinions some of guys leave are stuff what I already have planned out! XD So either a lot of you guys watched the drama, or are really good at predicting things…

Still doesn't hurt to leave any opinions, I would love to incorporate some ideas onto the story!

Next Chapter: Kiss
