I bet there are a lot of people angry with me. XD I didn't think school would make me busy and I'm actually trying to find a job...but its so hard~ .
BTW, I kind of feel like the channy hype kind of died down... maybe its because the second season ended, but Disney totally slaughtered the couple in the second season. That's my opinion of course, I absolutely adore Channy in the first season, there were a couple of good episodes in the second season...but that was it.
Oh well~ just ignore my ranting...
Thank you again to everyone for their lovely support!
Chapter 11 Headstrong
"What are you doing here?" Sonny was greeted with an oh-so-lovely sight right as soon as she entered her apartment. Right in the living room and dinning room area (remember her house is really small, so its kind of cramped.) there was her mother and someone she would never expect to ever be at her house. Ever.
"Chad? What the he-" The reminder of her mother being in the room prevented her from continuing as her mom turned to look at Sonny with a smile. A smile? They were actually getting along? They were both chatting sitting on opposites of the table drinking cups of water.
"Hey Sonny." Was Chad's curtly answer as he took a sip of water from the cup in front of him.
"Sonny your back, how was work?" Her mother smiled as if forgetting everything that happened earlier. Sonny had to admit that she even wanted to ask her mother if she was still grounded, just to double-check, but the situation didn't call for that.
"Fine. Do you mind me asking why he's here?" Sonny asked. Sonny used her head to point to Chad who was more awkward with Sonny's presence added to the room.
"Well, he came to tell me, the truth." Sonny froze on the spot as she turned to looked at Chad with fire in her eyes.
"That everything was all a big misunderstanding, that his company kept you working overtime. He came to personally apologize and guaranteed that, it will never happen again." Hearing that Sonny could breathe once again. Sonny couldn't help but sigh at the cover-up he had used. Chad only smiled when he noticed the visible tension on Sonny's shoulders drop.
"Chad! I found a baby picture of Sonny!" It was no one other than Zora yelling from Sonny's room. Chad automatically clapped his hands in victory and laughed as the sound of footsteps came closer.
"Zora!" Sonny yelled back hoping that her yelling would cause her little sister to stop in her tracks or retreat. Yet the footsteps only continued to get faster from this point. Zora stopped at the end of the hallways and took a glance at Sonny who was at the other side of the table, and Chad on luckily the other side where she could easily run to and back without crossing Sonny. And that was exactly what she did.
Chad smiled a big toothy smile as he saw the picture of Sonny a couple months old playing on a toy keyboard with a cute yellow dress, on the same floor of the same apartment he was in. Her confused look was priceless, along with her messy small pigtails. Before Chad could even comment on the photo, it was gone and he turned to the person next to him responsible for that. Sonny with a red face shoved the picture into her pocket glaring at Zora who stuck her tongue out at her.
"There are more photos, you know?" Zora threatened enjoying how flustered Sonny was. Zora was a nice, smart and sweet girl-that never hesitates to push Sonny's buttons-every now and then.
"Really?" Chad asked with big eyes, almost sounding like a child receiving candy.
"Mom, Chad and I still have things to discuss privately...We'll be back." Sonny stated with a triumphant smile, and she practically dragged Chad out the apartment to save her face from anymore embarrassing photos. She was a bit thankful that Zora didn't bring him the one of her being butt-naked in the bathtub.
...
"Alright, so let's chat." Chad smiled as he sat down on the table.
"Why are we here?" Sonny couldn't help but ask, seeing as how the restaurant was empty made her feel like she needed to speak in her 'indoor voice.' "Why are we the only people here?" They were both seated at a booth by a window of the small family diner that was less than a couple of minutes away from Sonny's apartment.
"You said that you had something to discuss, and privately so, I bought the diner restaurant, that and made them close the restaurant early." Chad said simply and looked at the menu in front of him. "And I was feeling kind of hungry."
"This isn't what I had in mind when I meant privately." Sonny tried to break some sense intro the man, but only came face the red menu card instead. Sonny sighed as she picked up her menu and took a look at what there was to eat. Sonny sighed knowing very well she will get another headache if she actually tried to understand the man. He was far too complex for her to simply understand.
"So, what did you have to tell me?" Chad was the first person to talk right after the waitress left to take their orders to the chef behind the counter. Chad stayed perfectly still and waited for her to answer him.
"Well, Chad I want to tell you not to stop by my house anymore."
"Is it because of the photo? Because honestly Zora was the one who completely brought the whole thing up." Chad placed his hands in the air with a straight face, as a gesture to prove his innocence.
"No, of course not! And I can believe that." Sonny nodded off with a smile knowing her little sister very well. Sonny couldn't help but feel a bit disturbed by how close Chad must have gotten with her family, during his short time there. "Anyway, it just because...my family has different values than you do."
"What do you mean?" Chad couldn't help but fidget in his seat as he waited for her to continue. The moment intensified as the waitress came with the drinks that they had both ordered.
"Chad, my family is poor. You saw how my mother acted, it was embarrassing. She acted like a ditzy star struck idiot. Don't you dare come to house just to get your sick twisted kicks with my family-"
"Sonny calm down." Chad said as he noticed her tone becoming more darker and more dominating that he could recognize it very well easily. "That was not my intention at all. I sincerely came to your house to get your mothers respect, and to cover up for you."
"My mothers respect? Why would you do that?"
"I want to sincerely tell you that, I will drop the red notice. I wanted to somehow make it up to you. I know this falls a bit short, but I wanted to try doing something." Chad spoke with pure sincerity and his gaze never faltered.
Chad's cocky smile came back into his face as if unaffected by his own words. Sonny was left with her mouth wide open at the sudden confession. Chad looked down at the table, and noticed what she was staring at before, the napkins of the diner that he even recognized as well. It was heartbreakingly familiar, he knew automatically who came to her mind.
"Do you like Hayden?" Chad couldn't stop himself from asking. It may sound rude to ask suddenly but he just had to hear her answer. Sonny was just about to take a sip of her water but halted when she heard his question.
"Why are you asking?" Sonny tried to quickly change the topic and glanced behind Chad as if to checking if the waitress was coming with their food.
"Because, Hayden is my friend."
"I don't think that quite justifies why your butting in your nose into my business..." Sonny stated just as quickly as his response.
"I need to make it up to him." Chad stated while trying to look more sympathetic. "You see I took something away from him, something Hayden loved the most."
"Really? What did you do?" Sonny was instantly curious as to what happened to Hayden.
"You see Hayden from a young age loved to eat grated apples, even through his late teenage years. He never once tried to bite onto the apple ever, so one day I tried to make him take a bite out of it. When that failed, well I just lied to him." Chad nodded as if that was the end of the story.
"What did you tell him?" Sonny raised an eyebrow, not really following the meaning of the story that well.
"I told him that eating apples will lead to early balding."
"Your stupid." Was Sonny's curtly reply that caused Chad to trigger a challenging gaze that Sonny was all ready and up for.
"That's why, I need to know."
"Ah! That's why you threw an apple at him in the airport!" Sonny's eyes widened at the late realization. Sonny along with Chad smiled at the last recent memory of him catching the apple that took Hayden off-guard.
"It doesn't matter anyway, he likes Selena." Sonny said out loud sighing as she suddenly met with a familiar pain in her chest just by picturing the couple together. Chad a couple of seconds to observe her distraught facial features before saying anything. "So I'm giving up."
"He will fall for you. I know it." Chad's expression became serious, just like before. Sonny looked up to met his eyes with hopes he will continue to explain. "You're different from any other girl I've met. And Hayden, as well." Chad added quickly the last part, as he turned away from Sonny when the waitress left their orders on the table, and just as quickly left them to continue their conversation.
...
"I told you they were dating!" Connie nudged Zora's side lightly as they both continued to look at the lonely couple in the restaurant. "I mean, look at they way they are looking at each other!" She couldn't help but smile even more at the boyfriend her daughter caught.
"Who would think she would date a rich boy?" Zora snickered along with her mother as the two continued their conversation, but didn't have any day of what they were talking about.
...
...
"Where is Chad?" The voice of Mr. Condor filled the silent dinning room. It was no one other than Will, who was expected to answer that question.
"He said, he had to step out for a moment. Something that he needed to personally take care off." Will answered as he bowed lightly to pay his respects Mr. Condor.
"How long has he been gone?"
"Not that long, sir. He was here with his friends a while ago." Will answered with confidence to obviously cover for the late young man. Mr. Condor nodded as a gesture that suggested that was all the information he needed.
Just as Will was going to dismiss himself, Mr. Condor stopped him before he could close the door.
"You better not be lying, Will." Mr. Condor said with a voice Will knew from years of experience from working at this place for a long time. It was the same voice he used when he fired anyone that kept anything from him.
...
...
"So Sonny, is there anything I need to know about you and that man?" Connie fought hard to fight a smile coming onto her face, when Sonny first got home. Sonny didn't know where to begin, or where to end it all.
"Mom, it's not what your thinking. We are not dating."
"Sonny, It's okay you don't have to hide anything."
"Mom, it's not anything serious."
"Sonny, you might not see it as serious, but Chad sure did." Her mother sighed as she busied herself folding the dry, clean clothes in a basket near by.
"What do you mean?"
"Sonny you had to be here to see it. When he came in here telling me about what happened he looked genuinely concerned for you. He kept assuring me that this will never happen again, and he would do anything in his power to ever prevent it as well." Her mother went off on a daze, as she clearly remembered the expression he wore.
"I give you my word, I will see to it that Sonny is healthy. I will not permit anything to come to as close to your daughter with the intention of harming her."
"Sonny that boy, is a definition of a young man right there." Sonny smiled with a thumps up and a wink, as if already approving him.
"Mom-"
"I know, I know...You're not dating him." Her mother smiled as she finished folding the clothes. "But he is really handsome..."
"Mom..."
...
...
"Come on! You said that you would join us!" The other voice on the other side of the phone literally yelled.
"I'm sorry Kim, I know I did. But I'm grounded so I can't join you guys..."
"Sonny~ You have to come-"
"There's nothing I can do."
"Sonny." It was her mother who patted Sonny's shoulder as she overheard the conversation in the kitchen. Sonny then placed the phone onto her chest to have Kim, a classmate from hearing what her mother had to say. "You should go out with your friends-"
"No mom, it's okay." Sonny said honestly still feeling guilty about Chad actually helping her by covering for her. It was sweet, but now she had to live with the guilt of lying to her mother. Out of all people, lying isn't easy for Sonny.
Before Sonny could reassure her mother once again, her mother quickly snatched the phone, and began talking to the other person.
"Hi this is Sonny's mom!" She purposely ran to the kitchen to avoid Sonny who was hot on her heels figuratively speaking to get the phone back. "I have a sudden change of heart, I think it would be better if she went after all!"
As soon as those words were out, Kim-the other person on the line-yelled enthusiastically rambling on about what they were going to do. Her mother kept retreating back further into the kitchen into the hallway that lead to the small rooms. Sonny was slowly approaching her mother carefully aware that her mother can either sprint to the left or right.
"A Sleepover?" Connie turned to look at her daughter with a smile. "Sonny said she would love to go!" That was the last she could say before she passed the phone back to her shocked daughter.
"Sonny your coming then, right?"
"Yeah, of course..." Sonny squeaked unable to deny this person either. Why did she have to agree to hang out with people she barely met? Or in fact barely even know? All she knew was their names and the fact that they were in her class. But either than that, she knew nothing of how they had fun, or what they do.
Sonny hanged up, immdieately afterwards sending daggers to her mother who returned by blowing an air kiss in her direction. Sonny then marched off to her room to collect clothes necessary for a sleepover, and what not. She's been few in the past, and its not any different from any of the other ones she's gone to. It's the fact that she was going to hang out with spoiled, rich teens that worried her. How was she going to fit in?
She merely shrugged that fact off, not really caring. If anything she could sneak out and sleep over at Lucy's house.
However, Sonny couldn't shake the feeling that it would be better if she didn't agree to going, if she convinced her mother to let her stay home, then maybe...
Maybe then, it wouldn't occur.
...
...
"You came dressed like that?" Was the first thing she was greeted with, as she stepped inside the lovely sleek black limo, with an interesting leather seated pattern, and red carpet. Sonny looked back down to her wardrobe, she was wearing dark blue skinny jeans, converse shows that matched her leather jacket, and white lose t-shirt.
Sonny looked at the person, Kim who just spoke that was looking at her feet. sonny took this time to scan the car to see if there was anyone she could pick out from the other three girls accompanying her. Soon Sonny felt everyone looking down at her feet as well, with disgust.
"What about my shoes?"
"Well, Sonny we're going to club, your outfit is okay, but those shoes are a big Hell. No!" Kim said as she expressed the last two words to emphasize the meaning. She retrieved something from behind her, and pushing it to Sonny gently. "Here, it's a good thing I thought of brining you heels, you can wear them right?"
"Yeah, of course." Sonny couldn't help but smile at her kindness that reminded her of Selena. Sonny smiled as she continued replacing her shoes, not noticing the smirks on everyone's faces.
...
...
"Is this the place?" Devon asked Nico as he looked at the store in front. The Store was moderately big, nothing too grand nor too small.
Condor Film Supply.
"Yeah, according to my research, this is where Sonny works at." Nico nodded and returned the same confused look as Devon.
Why would she work here?
"Calm on, we won't get our answer by standing out here." Nico was getting impatient and dragged Devon to enter the store with him.
"Hi Welcome, to Condor Film Supply." It was no one other than Lucy who greeted the confused two men that entered the building. She looked at a loss of words as she could perfectly tell these two weren't customers, judging by solely on appearance these two men could buy out the whole store.
"Well hi there, My name is Nico." Nico reciprocated the smile, and nudged to Devon who looked more annoyed than anything else. "This is my buddy, Devon."
"Hi?" Lucy stated in a more which sounded like a question than a greeting. The two walked over to the counter where she was to get more up close and personal.
"Lucy." Nico read her nametag and smiled. Devon tried to busy himself with the products behind the counter and such not really giving this Lucy any attention.
"Is there something I can help you with?" The familiarity of her tone was like venom to the two of them that was very familiar, to another brunette they knew very well.
"Yeah, does Sonny Munroe work here?" Nico asked still looking around the small store looking at the quality of the items and the store display.
"Yes she does, but she requested the night off today. If you wish to speak with her about something-"
"May I ask what your relationship is with Sonny?" Devon asked sensing something odd about the woman, she was automatically defensive about Sonny. That precise defensive that was more than a bond for a coworker.
"Sonny is my best friend." Lucy turned to with Devon a scowl, as he smirked at his accurate predictions. "I won't rat her out if you guys are planning on hurting her!"
"Hey! We're a couple of Sonny's classmates and friends sort of..." Nico tried to explain but the Lucy still wouldn't remove the stern expression on her face.
"What's all the noise?" It was no one other than Ms. Bitterman who entered into the store coming from the back. "Is there a problem?"
"Oh, No problem, miss." Nico automatically smiled s he noticed it was an older woman who came into the scene.
"Miss?" Ms. Bitterman blushed lightly at the obvious compliment. "Lucy, you should treat these handsome customers better..." Ms. Bitterman warned in a firm yet feminine voice, as she giggled her way back.
"What do you want?"
"We're here to ask you something, if you would be as to be as kind to answer them." Nico stated bluntly and nodded along as he carefully stated his words, some what un sure of the woman due to the fact that she already had similarities to Sonny.
"Why would I do that?" Lucy back fired not really liking their pompous attitudes, especially the silent one who looked like he was too good for anything.
"Because..." Devon spoke out getting annoyed with her. "It involves your friend Sonny." He added and watched her delicate facial features falter and look questioningly at the two before actually nodding her head.
"You could be a little more friendly, geesh.." Nico said feeling the tension.
"You want me to be friendly?" Devon asked with a familiar set tone already kicking up a challenging eyebrow.
"Come now, Lucy...Let's finish this chat at my house." Devon asked with his typical air of confidence and his great Casanova skills that any woman would die for. Devon took her by the hand and walked out the store leaving Nico astonished at how fast the man can turn on his charm when ever he wanted. Nonetheless, he followed the duo only to find Lucy not enjoying the hand holding, like he thought she would.
In fact, she was struggling to get away.
Nico couldn't help but laugh loudly getting Devon's attention. They should have known that this girl being, Sonny's best friend would be just as headstrong as her.
...
...
The music was loud. Honestly this was Sonny's first time ever coming to a club, and the fact that they were all 17 and underage made her feel nervous of getting caught. Even though the bouncer did all let them in, according to Kim, the tall blonde by the name of Michelle, her father actually owned this building. Michelle has been able to come in and out of the club as she wished, and could bring anyone along with her.
"Would you calm down Sonny. You look like your about to tackle someone." Kim giggled as she noticed the tension on her shoulders. "Do you want to dance again?" Kim asked loudly enough to be heard over the booming music. Sonny refused, her legs were actually killing her at the moment.
It's not that she's not used to wearing heels, she's just not used to wearing heels and dancing in them. Kim smiled and pushed back her dark black straight back behind her shoulders, and wiped sweat off her forehead. Sonny was more than grateful that Kim tagged along with her for a short break, while the other three girls continued to dance.
"I could go for some water." Michelle slid into the chair next Kim as she waved her hand in front of her air to provide for some air. "You two should have danced more!"
"Right! The songs are only getting better!" Claire a petite red head slid to the next open chair to Sonny and gave her a warm hearted smile and pat on the back.
"Sorry, it's been a while since I danced..." Sonny replied knowing that the group was waiting for a reason. Sort of feeling self-concious being surronded by such beautiful girls hat had looks even stars would be envious of.
"Nah! its okay Sonny! I can barely keep up with these three girls." Kim laughed loudly as the third and final group member Stacie another slim beautiful brunette took the last chair to Kim side of the table.
"I ordered water for everyone here." Stacie said and she placed the receipt on the table.
"You make us sound like party animals!"
It was in this atmosphere that the group continued to have fun and lightly joke around, and during the slow songs the group once again took a another much needed break.
"Do you see that guy looking over here..." Michelle whispered to everyone at the table and used her eyes to direct everyone to a guy leaning over the gold railing of the small steps that lead to the bar of the restaurant. "I wonder who he is looking at." All the girls except Sonny turned to look at him.
"He's not starring at you Michelle that's for sure!" Kim joked as she too noticed the man's attention. "Oh My God! He looks like Hayden!"
That caught Sonny's attention to the man who right on cue gave a wink in return. The man's tall messy Light brown hair did rival close to Hayden hair style except that his hair color was much darker.
"Sonny, did he just wink at you?"
"I don't think so..."
"Shut up! he's coming..." Michelle whispered to everyone who continued to giggle as the man with his tall nicely proportioned body strudded his way over, as if he were walking on a catwalk.
"My, this has to be a the most beautiful group of girls I have seen all night." The man smirked as he gently placed his hands on the table and took a good look at all five girls. He intentionally made his stare at Sonny the longest.
"My name is Kevin." Kevin spoke as the confidently with a smile that honestly reflected the lights off from the ceiling. The man had an average complexion nothing too light like Chad, but he wasn't tan either. He was moderate to Sonny's taste, if she were to judge the man on his physicality alone.
Yet she never once did like anyone for the way they looked like, she knew better than to judge anyone.
"May I have the pleasure of knowing your name?" The man spoke again, in hopes of garnering Sonny's attention. It wasn't until Stacie nudged her, and when she felt someone gently grab a lock of her hair. If that was supposed to romantic, it honestly startled Sonny half to death.
Sonny gave the man a warning look that he automatically knew meant to retrieve his hand back. Sonny honestly didn't know what to say, she didn't want to give the man her name, but she didn't want to seem rude either.
"Her name is Sonny." Kim spoke for her thinking that she was just being shy.
"That's a beautiful name..." The man once again tried to use his voice to lure Sonny into his charms, but Sonny remained unaffected.
"I'm going to the bathroom." After a long sigh Sonny got up and walked away feeling more annoyed than anything else. The mood at the table automatically darkened as Sonny disappeared.
"I warned you it wasn't going to be easy." Kim told the man with a smirk, as she noticed his frustrated face. "How does it feel to be rejected?"
"Shut it. All that matters is that I'm being paid for this, right?" Kevin asked as he walked behind Kim seat and slid his hands down the perfect model-like curves of her body sensually.
"Your not going to be paid, until you do the job." Kim casually slapped his hands off before they could go near her butt.
"Right, right. You brought the everything right?" Kim's smile widened as she gave him Sonny's cup and dropped something in there quickly enough just in case anyone else was watching. The other girls giggled as they watched the object in the water completely dissolve as if it never was there.
"Now we just wait until she drinks it."
...
...
"That's why you brought me here?" Lucy asked feeling anger boil within her. She didn't find it exactly necessary to me brought to some strange old-themed roomed just to be interrogated on a subject she barely knew any knowledge of herself. Here she was in an amazing dinning area that was filled with beautiful antiques that were actually real. The lovely baby blue walls, and the wooden floors made her feel like she was sent into the past.
"What? don't get your hopes up..." Devon smirked knowing very well what she was thinking, or at least what he could assume. "Your not my type, and your not much to look at either..."
"How about you stop being so cocky? Why do you keep thinking that I have a crush on you?" Lucy defended herself standing up on her feet just about ready to dash out of the room.
"Oh god, this isn't getting us anywhere..." Nico complained. For the past half-hour Lucy and Devon had been battling it out straying away from the main subject. Nico being in the sidelines at certain times couldn't help but smirk at the scene before him. There was a sort of clicking noise in his mind when he put Devon and Lucy together. There was something there...
"Your right." Devon sighed feeling a headache finally coming in.
"I told you, I really don't know much of their relationship that well." Lucy calmed down, breathing in deeply. "I know that Sonny's perspective on the guy changed after they went out on that date-"
"Bingo!" Nico yelled.
"Wait." Devon stopped him early from his victory dance that he was about to do. "What have her feelings developed into?"
"I can't say for sure...but I don't think it's at a romantic level, yet."
"See, told you-"
"Is that all you wanted to know?"
"Well, you see Lucy. We are just concerned about Chad, and of Sonny of course since she is involved. Chad hasn't been in a serious relationship before and we are just looking out for him, like a brother worried that he might get seriously emotionally damaged. Sonny of course is also on the same line." Devon explained taking a sip of the tea that has now gone cold.
"What do you want me to do?" Lucy's voice automatically softened up at the thought of Sonny being hurt. She owed Sonny so much since she was a child, and if this was her time to make up for all that Sonny's done for her, well she was going to take it.
"Talk to her, of course." Nico said. "Set her straight."
"Can you do that, Lucy?" Devon asked getting serious not trying to pick up a fight again. "We will also talk to Chad, so don't worry."
"You see, from our point of view it looks like Chad is the serious one. Not that Sonny is using him or anything, but.. Well you can understand right?"
Lucy nodded after thinking about it after a couple of minutes passed by. It felt odd sort of like, as if she was trying to stop the relationship between the two. But the two F4 members assured her that they were only trying to see if the two were serious, if not stop it before any damage gets done. But if they were why should they stop them? With that Lucy left without saying anything else...
"Well you two hit off good."
"Shut it, I hate those kind of girls..." Devon responded obviously knowing where Nico was hinting at. "She's to stubborn, and worst of all a good girl..."
"What's wrong with that?"
"I don't date good girls..."
"Well you did once." Nico stated the obvious yet spoke carefully knowing that this was a fragile matter to the man.
"That was in the past..."
"But you can't let it go can you?" Nico asked walking to Devon as he tugged on his left sleeve to reveal an old bracelet with one single charm of a small puzzle piece. "You can't forget Victoria can you?"
"Nico." Devon's firm was strong, and Nico automatically retreated from the man knowing that was going to be his only warning call. "Leave her out of this."
"Okay, okay..." Nico brought his hand to his mouth and figuratively zipped it up, meaning his mouth would remain shut.
Devon sighed regaining his cool, and sighed trying to push back memories before they resurfaced. The beautiful long brunette hair, green-eyed beauty that was a like a special flower he took care of, until that flower was ripped up from the ground and planted into someone's garden. How betrayed he felt, that he could never see any woman as being loyal and he would return the favor.
It was her fault that he has become like this, according to Nico. Yet he never once wanted to blame a delicate being like her, as much as he hated her...there was still something there.
...
...
"Hey there." Kevin waited for her outside the entrance of the bathroom with two cups in hands. "So, did I start off on the wrong foot?" He added still refusing to believe that she was unaffected by his superior charms that would have any woman falling over him now.
"Not really, but you see I'm not out looking for a relationship." Sonny answered him bluntly.
"I'm not either..." He spoke making sure to Sonny the correct cup. "I'm out here trying to have fun, because my friends practically dragged me out of the house." He sighed obviously lying to get Sonny's sympathy knowing very well that is how she was here.
"I feel your pain man." Sonny patted him on the shoulder, and took the cup he offered, sniffing it before drinking out of it. "It's not alcohol right?"
"No, its your cup of water from the table. I thought it would be a nice bonus for me to give it to you." Kevin spoke lightly enjoying the fact that she was beginning to get more talkative and friendly.
"I still have to stay, honestly you stood out of all those girls..." He smiled as he watched Sonny drink the water not noticing how it had been spiked with a drug.
"Listen, can you stop giving me those flirty eyes?" Sonny asked feeling uncomfortable once again. "As much as I appreciate that compliment, that doesn't mean I'm going to lie and compliment you too, 'cause honestly..."
"You..."
The room began to spin all of sudden, the sound of the booming was beginning to feel distant to her, and the floor started to sound reliable at this moment to keep her in place.
"Are...not...my." Sonny struggled to keep her voice in check with her own ears, and her balance straight as well. Kevin looked at amazement at how headstrong this girl was.
"My...kind of... guy." Sonny finally slurred before caving in to her body, and finally collapsing backwards onto the wall that provided small support as her unconscious body down to the floor. Kevin smiled at the girl now sleeping on the floor, still looking attractive as she did awake. He wasn't lying about his compliment earlier.
Her pure innocence is what radiated.
That mixed with her headstrong character of hers made her all the more tempting.
...
...
The sound of an alarm went off that caused someone in a messy bead to stir awake.
"What time is it?" Sonny's horsed voice echoed the unrecognizable room. There were two beds in the room, the other looked untouched as, the red wine covers still looked to be in perfect crisp clean condition. The crème walls and the brown furniture touched the room with a lovely eastern look to the room. The image in front of Sonny stopped her from looking at the room suddenly. In front of her was a drawer with an attached mirror that let her see her head down to her waist in the bed.
She was wearing a white sleeping gown, with tiny thin straps over her shoulders. Sonny automatically covered herself feeling utterly exposed at the idea, she looked down to her body and noticed she was still wearing her bra and underwear.
"Holy shit..."
Sonny noticed a red-inked message on the mirror, but couldn't see it at the distance she was at. She got up to read the message, and discovered a picture left on top of the drawer.
"Thanks for last night!"
Sonny looked around in fear only seeing her clothes scattered everywhere in the room, no trace of a man's presence in the room at all, except for the picture. In the picture, it was clearly Sonny in the same white night gown she was wearing eyes closed, and leaning against a naked upper half body of a man. The picture didn't show the man's face, that was a long blur for even Sonny to recall.
All she could see was the man's chest, and his hand caressing Sonny's arm. The picture if anyone saw it, would automatically assume the worst, and think they were cuddling in bed.
"Why can't I remember anything..." Sonny paced back and forth in the room hoping some physical movements will stimulate her brain to literally jog her memory back into place.
Sonny looked back at the clock reading a couple of minutes past seven in the morning. Sonny looked frantic, she was going to be late to school, if she continued this. What really bite her the most, is that she completely forgot everything she needed for school back at her house. Sonny was already mentally planning everything, knowing very well to get home she would have to waste money on getting a taxi since a bus would take to long.
...
...
"I might be a little late, but it's not that bad..." Sonny said to herself out loud as she sprinted outside her apartment and just finished making the left turn to go to school, when she came in contact with another body.
"I'm sorry-"
"Sonny!" The familiar voice caused her to look up and the man that called her name flinching at the idea of who she feared it to be.
"Chad! What are you doing here?"
"I-I was just walking by... yeah that's it!" Chad smiled as he snapped his fingers to it as if it sounded foolproof. "Why are you late? I've been waiting-"
"That's nice Chad! I got to go!" Sonny didn't wait for him to finish as she bolted off and ran straight ahead to school, ignoring Chad's calls to slow down. The pounding in her heart and her mind made it so hard to face the man anymore.
"I can give you a ride to school!" Chad said as he caught up with her, and grabbed her shoulder to stop her. Sonny was practically too busy gasping for her air to air, and wordlessly agreed
...
...
"So where were you last night, Sonny?"
Sonny almost spat out her water that she was drinking, luckily she was able to swallow it all before it all ejected from her mouth. Sonny looked around the circular table and felt pressured to answer. She was currently sitting with F4, in their exclusive balcony where only they ate, and maybe a small selected few. Chad practically dragged her by the hand- that caused some girls to send deadly daggers of envy to Sonny-to get her to sit with him.
She was surprised to find a gorgeous French lunch meal awaiting for her at the table, of course made by one of the top chefs in France. Sonny thanked the chef, before digging into the meal, not able to recall its foreign name.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, Nico and I went to your job last night. Lucy said you requested the night off." Devon asked also eating a dish that looked couldn't challenge Sonny's. Devon and Nico both anticipated her answer, the table went silent for a while. Chad looked at his friends strangely not liking how they were making Sonny feel awkward, that was not the purpose for inviting her to eat with him. Of course, he wanted his friends to get familiar with her, but not make her feel like an outcast.
"Let me guess you were out partying right?" Nico said playfully, not knowing he actually his a sore spot for Sonny, who jumped in her seat. Everyone noticed it, you would have to be blind to not see it. "Was I right?"
"What-"
"Stop asking her questions!" Chad interrupted Sonny before she could answer his silly question. "Can't you see your making her feel uncomfortable!"
"Sonny's not that kind of girl! She is nice, smart, beautiful, stubborn...but she's not one of those sleazy girl that goes out partying!" Chad said in a dominant tone, that caught the attention of some of the others eating their lunches. "Right?" Chad's frown literally jumped into a smile as he turned to face Sonny, who was shocked at his attitude change.
"O-Of course..." Sonny responded with a smile trying her best to not feel pressured by all the three of them obviously looking at her with some of anticipation.
"See!" Chad smirked taking a bite of course the same dish that Sonny was eating, "Oh you should try this its really good!" Chad used his spoon to scoop up the object from his dish and placing it onto Sonny's plate.
Devon and Nico couldn't help but flinch at the atmosphere shifting so the two now felt secluded from the meal. First Chad hired a Chef for only two plates of some French meal, that was reserved for the two of them. Nico and Devon had to eat what was provided for by the school. And now, they were being ignored.
However, what was painfully obvious to them was that the atmosphere was being created solely by Chad. To them, it looked like the feelings were purely one-sided, and Chad was sadly the fool. Sonny just smiled and nodded but, Devon know well of a females body language, she was just felt awkward and out of place.
They needed to have their with Chad, really soon.

Hi! I'm sorry for the long wait, but I hope this long chapter will make up for it. I had a lot of fun in this chapter I added a bit of snippets here and there to sort of spice it up, but nothing drastically changed.
I also need to know something, right here and now. If this fanfic runs to be a long chaptered story will everyone continue to read it? If not, I'm not sure I'll do if not... XD
Alright lets clear some things...[skip if you'd like.]
So It's Chad from the previous Chapter that goes to see Sonny's mother, I didn't include much of the scene but yeah... Her family had a positive outlook for Chad. Chad was being nice and lied for her, that what he felt responsible for(from the last chapter). And the two have another serious talk, and there is a reason why Chad wants to know what Sonny's feelings for Hayden are. Pretty obvious too, since they are both best friends, Chad would have stopped his feelings for Sonny. If she said yes though, however Sonny did not, so what do you think is going to happen?
Pay close attention to the forewarning to Will, who just covered for Chad!
Sonny's mom let her go to the party because she felt bad that she got mad at Sonny, so yeah.. I'm pretty sure the clubbing scene should have been easy enough to follow.
Kim and the rest of the girls, tricked Sonny obviously everything that they were doing was planned, and sadly Sonny fell for everything, and the she even drank the water not knowing what they did to it. And she woke up in a hotel! What exactly happened between Sonny and the guy, will be revealed in the next chapter!
Yay! Lucy finally met some of the F4 members personally. And obviously She and Devon didn't hit it off so well, keep in mind that Devon is a Casanova, so he misinterpreted her body language. She was stiff around them because she was star struck, and a little annoyed... but he thought it was because she was being bashful and shy around the two. So basically the F4 scenes and Lucy scenes were filled with conversations and tension!
Nico and Devon are looking out for Chad, (as shown near the end) because it looks like he is the only in love. So they want to break them up, if Sonny isn't serious, that what they were concerned about. And Devon is more concerned because he could relate to being emotinally hurt,which would poosibly be explained later... anyways, but if Sonny does have feelings then they wouldn't. And Lucy of course agreed because she didn't want Sonny to get hurt, just in case.
I also revealed a little of Devon's past~ He wasn't always a Casanova, depending on you guys really I will continue to open up his story more and more as the chapters continue. But that's completely up to you guys!
So can you guys tell who will be the next couple now? ^.^
So from there on out, you guys can follow it right? Chad gave Sonny a ride to school and made her eat Lunch with him, but he only bought a meal for both of them. Its not that he forgot about the other two, but he wanted to have a sort of romantic feeling to their lunch.
So yay~ [stop skipping!]
If you have any questions feel free to ask! And along with any suggestions~
Please remember to state whether or not you would like more of Devon's past to be revealed! It all depends on you guys if you would like to know~
Thank you for all your support! I hope you guys liked it! Please pardon any spelling errors that i could have possibly made.
Thank you for reading!
Please review!
