Hi. I'm bored.

Why, hello Bored.

No, no. I meant I'm feeling bored.

Oh. Sorry. Hello, Feeling Bored.

No-! Ugh. Whatever. I'm leaving.

Goodbye, Leaving.

Ggrrr…

Disclaimer: I do not own SWAC…it makes me that much more bored.

So, I just read my reviews, and I'm ecstatic! I think that means overjoyed. Whatever. The first review I read made me do a happy dance it was so nice! Thx guys so much! I love it when I get reviews!

Chapter 3, here we come.

I finished getting ready in two minutes. I had on a dress that was blue at the top, the waist was a solid black color, and below and puffed out in a black and blue checkered poof. It was really cute. All my accessories were black. My necklace was a diamond, though.

Connie had said she found it on me when she found me. I didn't know who it came from of course, because I don't know my parents. But, it was a real diamond. Connie had found out hours after she took me home. That's when she started to look at me weird. I remember it perfectly.

I sighed an unnecessary sigh, and checked my silver watch. It read 7:40. It took me about ten minutes to get to the studios, but I guess I could still get there early on my first day.

Despite myself, I was really nervous. I wondered if my cast mates would accept me, or if they would look at me strange. Was there another vampire there, maybe? That would be the life. I would have someone to go to when I wasn't sure what was happening to me or something. But, I tried not to get my hopes up so they wouldn't be crushed in the end. Or so I wouldn't get the opposite of what I wanted. What was the opposite of what I wanted?

I opened the doors of my new house to a bright morning. Birds were chirping, the sun was sunny like me. Eh, not really, but it's my name. Get it? Haha…ha…

I took another deep breath through my mouth, tasting the morning air. I smiled. Then I took another through my nose, walking toward my car. I stopped in my tracks immediately when I registered a smell. It was the smell I noticed yesterday, hunting. I said it was nature then, maybe it is now? I shook my head and entered my purple car.

I found Condor Studios easily. It was definitely visible, I couldn't miss it. When I pulled in the parking lot, I bit my cold lip. I had to make a promise to myself.

I had to promise that I wouldn't trust anyone here. At least, not enough to tell them what I was. I couldn't. Even if they were my best friend and I loved them like my sister, I wouldn't. They would try to run off and tell everyone, and I'd have to kill them. I shivered at that last thought.

I nodded, reassuring myself, and stepped out into the light. I decided that I should play by my name. Act sunny. I was sunny. Sonny. Even though the sun was blazing hot and I'm below freezing, it shouldn't stop me.

I smiled to myself and made my way to the doors. I walked in and I felt…honestly, I felt at home. It was like walking through a comfortable house, like my new one. I wasn't nervous anymore. I put the expression on my face that I was jubilant and excited. I tried to go at a human pace through the building, but I just couldn't stop the feeling going to my feet. I felt like I was walking in slow motion to stage three, btu to a human I was probably sprinting. When I saw the doors to So Random!, I squealed. I was finally here.

I opened the door to the prop house and saw Nico and Grady.

"Why do I always have to play the thing that comes out of you?" Grady complained. "You played the chicken, I played the egg. You played the mother, I played the baby. You played the stomach, I played the barf."

I saw Zora open the door to her sarcophagus and glare at the two boys.

"At least you didn't have to play the toilet!" She said.

I walked in and stood, smiling at them.

"Um…hi." I greeted hesitantly.

They all turned to look at me. At first, Zora looked confused, then shocked. Nico and Grady started fixing their haor and straightening their shirts. I bit my lip and advanced them.

I stuck out my hand for Nico's. "Hi, I'm Allison Monroe."

"Why hello, Allison." He took my hand and instead of shaking it, he kissed it. I was surprised he didn't flinch away from my cold touch.

I bit my lip to hide my smile. I turned to Grady. "Hi, Grady."

"Hi, Allison." He shook my hand, smiling.

"Hi Zora," I waved.

She smiled back and waved, shaking her head and reentering her sarcophagus.

"Um, most everyone calls me Sonny, though. So, you can call me Sonny, too, or Allison, whichever you prefer." I realized I was babbling like an idiot.

"Well, hey, Sonny. Listen, Tawni's in your guys' dressing room, so if you'd like to go meet her," Grady suggested.

I nodded and left.

I walked out and searched for a sign that meant it was our dressing room. I'm sharing a dressing room with Tawni Hart! I couldn't keep the ridiculously large smile off my face. Oh, I hope she likes me. I saw a door that had big pink letters on it that said: TAWNI. I laughed when I saw AND SONNY scrawled on a little piece of notebook paper taped on the door next to Tawni's name. I also hope she's not a spoiled brat.

I opened the door slowly and immediately saw pictures of Tawni Hart everywhere. Yep, definitely into herself. I saw her on the cheetah couch in the middle of the room, petting a stuffed tiger.

"Hello, Tawni. I'm Allison Monroe. But you can call me Sonny." I went over to her and reached for her hand.

Tawni quickly pulled her hands away and flipped her hair over her shoulder. She gave her animal a look that made me feel uncomfortable. Probably telling it I'm way prettier than her or something.

"Hi, Allison. And I don't want your permission to call you Sonny." She sneered.

Okay, this wasn't going so well. I decided to be straight up with her.

"Alright, listen, Tawni. I don't care what you want, I don't care what you do. I only care if it pisses me off, sort of like you're doing right now. Can you not start our relationship off on the wrong foot?" I asked.

She gave me a look and stood up next to me. She was an inch taller than I was. Instead of yelling at me like I thought, she gave me an approving look.

"I did the same thing to Mandy, Sonny. I like people who stand up for themselves. Hi." She smiled.

"Hi." I was confused at our first meeting.

"So, let's sit, and you can tell me a little about yourself." Tawni suggested.

We sat and talked for a really long time. I found out that her favorite movie was Dodgeball, her favorite books were Twilight. I snickered at that, the book is so wrong about me. I also found out that she lives by herself. She's eighteen. Also, she loves to listen to music, go shopping, draw, take pictures of herself, and give people makeovers. I laughed at that.

I told her a little about me when she asked. I was hesitant at first. I told her I love music, my favorite movie was The Holiday, I was seventeen, turning eighteen in September thirteenth, and that I love to play guitar.

We talked and laughed for hours. I tried to keep the conversation about her so that I wouldn't slip anything about me. She made me try on a lot of her clothes, and she did, too. We had a little fashion show. Tawni made me keep on a spaghetti strap dress that was black and white. The only white on it was just a few patterns traveling up from the hem of the dress and stopping at the waist. It looked great on me. I had a lot of fun with her. The laughs were endless.

"Oh my gosh. We've been hanging out for three hours! It's time for lunch."

We caught the boys in the prop house and called them to come with. Zora stayed behind, she thought she felt something on her leg in her sarcophagus.

"Zora is…" I couldn't finish.

"Really weird." Tawni laughed.

"But, she's interesting I guess." I shrugged.

Nico said, "Whatever. Meatball Monday is today, and I'm starving!"

"Yeah!" Grady agreed.

The boys ran ahead and me and Twani trailed behind.

"So, do you like it here?" She asked.

"Yes. I really do."

"Good. Also, I have to tell you something."

I looked at her, confused. "Yes?"

"It's a warning: Chad Dylan Cooper. You cannot like him, converse with him, or anything. He's "America's Teen Heartthrob", and a jerk. He treats us like dirt. You can't fall for him like every girl in the studio does."

I laughed. I wasn't planning on having a boyfriend for fear of my secret. Not a ton of people asked me out in Wisconsin because I was home schooled. I didn't really believe in the whole "love" thing that people talk about,

"Don't worry, Tawni," I giggled. "It's not likely."

"Okay," Her tone put the impression on me that she didn't believe in my restraint.

I rolled my eyes and walked in.

I wasn't breathing because I was afraid to. I didn't know if someone smelled particularly appealing here. I was playing it safe.

"And, Meatball Monday is the only day we get okay food. Mackenzie Falls gets lobster and steak and we get…heck, I don't even know. I swear I saw mine moving the other day." Tawni looked disgusted. "Are you getting a meatball sandwich?"

"No," I said. "I don't eat lunch."

"Watching your weight or something?" She guessed.

"No, no." I laughed. "I'm just never hungry for it."

She smiled at me in a curious way. I shrugged and left Tawni to sit across from Grady and Nico, who were digging into their sandwiches.

"Good, then?" I asked.

They nodded and shoved it in their mouths at the same time. I laughed again. It sounded like bells.

I watched as they ate, and I looked at the people in the cafeteria. I was distracted by a table that looked really fancy. They had a chain thing that was blue surrounding the table. Everyone there was dressed in a uniform. I watched a blonde boy as he ate a steak. He looked uncomfortable and shocked. I wonder why? I looked at the others who were eating steak also. Mackenzie Falls.

"So, is that Mackenzie Falls?" I whispered to Tawni.

She nodded.

"In the flesh." She snorted.

I giggled.

I decided to try to breathe in. It wouldn't hurt. And, if someone smelled really good, I'd just excuse myself and run outside into the woods behind the studios. I looked down, closing my eyes. I took a deep sniff through my nose and froze.

The smell.

It was following me everywhere. What was it? It was particularly sweet today. It was a person then. An object couldn't be following me. I took another breath in. I whipped my head around toward the smell, and I saw it was someone at the Mackenzie Falls table. I stared incredulously at the blonde boy who had started to stare at me. I was confused. He smelled good, but not in the way that would make me want to kill him. He wasn't a vampire. What the heck was he?

I looked down as quick as possible in an inhuman movement. I hoped nobody saw. I could still feel the boy's eyes on me as I whispered to Tawni.

"Who's the boy with the blonde, sandy hair that looks like he spent hours on?" I asked.

She laughed. "Chad," She stated like it was obvious. She had covered her mouth politely because she was eating a meatball.

"Is he still looking at me?" I was nervous now.

"Yeah," She whispered like me now, realizing that I was scared. But hers voice was too loud for my sensitive ears.

"Excuse me," I muttered, leaving the cafeteria. I could hear a chair screech and follow me out.

Chad's POV

I was in the cafeteria now eating lunch with my cast. I was exhausted. Sonny had interrupted my sleep by moving in, and now I would never get any sleep, I'd be on patrol 24/7. I would have to watch her forever.

I was thinking about her all night. Why would she go against herself like that? Why would she look at herself disgustedly and shake her head like she was ashamed? I had thought the reason that probably wasn't true, but noble: She was ashamed of who she was. She didn't like to be a killer. I didn't want to kill her, but I knew sooner or later Riley was going to make me. The thought actually made me upset. Angry. Why couldn't I just kill her like any other disgusting vampire?

Because she wasn't disgusting. She was different. I loved that about her. Even though I don't know her on anyway whatsoever, I was proud of her. She would go against her own kind so she wouldn't take another's life. Sonny was probably new to being a vampire, or just didn't have anyone there to tell her about it. Then she would probably kill people, though. I shivered at the thought.

I had also come to the conclusion that she lived alone. No one else had turned on a light, followed her. I guessed that she was old enough to be moving out. I could use that to my advantage.

I was about to put another bite of food in my mouth when I heard blondie from So Random! talking to someone behind the cafeteria doors. What was she saying?

"…Chad Dylan Cooper. You cannot like him, converse with him, or anything. He's "America's Teen Heartthrob", and a jerk. He treats us like dirt. You can't fall for him like every girl in the studio does."

Every girl in the studio did fall for me. It was actually kind of annoying. Especially Portlyn. Ugh. I listened intently for the other person's response.

"Don't worry, Tawni." The girl laughed. "It's not likely."

We'll see, I thought.

When the girls entered the room, I froze from shock.

The girl in the back was blonde and ordinary. The girl in the front was extraordinary. She had wavy brown hair that fell a few inches below her shoulders. She was wearing a spaghetti strap dress that looked perfect against her skin, showed off all her curves. Up close, you could tell her features were perfect, everything was perfect. Too perfect. The bite of food I had on my fork dropped back onto my plate.

Sonny Monroe.

She walked with a sure stride and was tall and had fantastic legs. Her cinnamon smell spread throughout the room and made me breathe deeper, slower. I could tell she wasn't breathing, because her chest wasn't rising or falling. Not that I was looking at her chest or anything.

She hadn't noticed me. She wouldn't recognize me either if she looked, and wouldn't smell me. I got uncomfortable. Shocked, too.

Soon Sonny was sitting with everyone else. She whispered to Tawni if my table was Mackenzie Falls table. She nodded. Huh, guess she didn't watch me on T.V. Anyway, I saw in my peripheral vision Sonny start to take a deep breath.

She froze.

Oh, no.

Was it a good sign that she was going to notice me so soon? If I got her alone, would it be best to kill her? I didn't make this decision yet, so I was still staring at her when her head whipped in my direction, too quick for a human. She looked shocked and confused.

Again she whispered to Tawni, and Tawni said my name was Chad.

When she left the cafeteria after excusing herself, I couldn't stand it. I needed to talk to her.

I pushed my chair back and stood quickly, following Sonny out of the cafeteria doors.
