Words I'm Too Scared to Say
Sometimes I wish you'd pay
more attention to my favorite
songs, because the lyrics sing
words I'm too scared to say.
Sonny stalked down the Mackenzie Fall's dressing room hallway with a strange smirk on her face that faded as she walked farther away from the three-named jerk's dressing room; faded without her knowing why. She had shocked him, hadn't she? Then why was she feeling all confused? Feeling confused over Chad confused her even more. For, Lord! She hated that jerk!
Then why did the look on his face – shock and confusion over…. What? – have her stomach in knots? Sonny shook her head, trying to dissipate the strange feelings she was having.
Turning a corner into the hallway that led outside, Sonny ran smack into… Nico?
"Ow!" Sonny cried as their foreheads smacked painfully against each other and she staggered backwards, holding her head. Looking up, she saw who it was she had ran into.
"Nico?"
"Sonny?" he said – his voice just as shocked as hers.
"What are you doing at Mackenzie Falls?" they both asked at the same time.
Sonny involuntarily blushed scarlet. To her immense surprise, so did Nico.
Both were silent for a few moments – looking away from the other – until Sonny spoke.
"I was trying to find Chad."
"Why?" Nico asked, looking back at her.
"Uhhh, to… you know, yell at him for, uhhh… putting honey in my Victoria's Secret Love Spell perfume!" Oh, I forgot all about that. Sonny thought, half in anger, half in relief for having a legit cover story, for she didn't even really understand why she went looking for Chad in the first place. Curiosity? Over what?
"That's stupid," Nico said, "then you can't use it… ooohhh!" and he laughed, getting it.
"A bit slow on the uptake today, are we Nico?" Sonny giggled. "Yeah, now I have to buy more, and it's like forty dollars a bottle!"
"Why not use some different perfume?" Nico asked, confused as why she had to have that perfume.
"Uh…" sonny blushed again. "Because it's the only one I like. Every other one smells too strong and fake-scent-like." Lie. Sonny thought. You only like it because Chad said you smelt nice the first day you wore it. Sonny mentally smacked herself, trying to get a grip. Why was she obsessing over how she smelt to Chad? Ugh. I'm losing it…
"Oh, okay." Nico said, nodding. "So, I'm guessing he was wearing his trademark jerk scent?"
It took Sonny a second to process that, but then she got it and laughed.
"I think you're a bit slow on the uptake today, Sonny." Nico said with a snicker.
Sonny smacked him on the arm. "Shut it, Nico. And yes, he was." She laughed.
"Wait!" Sonny suddenly exclaimed, abruptly halting her laughter. "Why were you over at Mackenzie Fall's?"
Nico fidgeted uncomfortably. "I, uhhh…" he stuttered.
"Nico…" Sonny said, glaring. "What?"
"I was trying to visit Portlyn. But she was in the lounge, and you know us So Random! casties are banned," Nico said with a hint of underlying sadness in his voice. "Well, except for you."
"Yeah…"
They were silent for a he moments until they heard footsteps approaching from the hallway Sonny had just left. Before they could even so move an inch, Portlyn appeared.
Nico's facial expression softened, and he smiled exuberantly.
"Hi, Portlyn!" he said, chipper.
"Hey… Nico," she replied, glancing at him and surprisingly getting his name right. Portlyn turned her gaze back to Sonny.
"Can I talk to you for a sec, sweetie?" she asked.
Sonny's eyes grew wide in shock.
"Uhhh… sure?" Sonny said and followed Portlyn's beckoning hand around the corner.
Portlyn stopped halfway back down the hallway and said,
"Sonny." She stated. "I know."
"Know what?" Sonny asked, confused, but her stomach began to tighten for reasons she didn't understand.
"About how Chad feels about you. I just wanted to say something though, okay?" she said, her voice sweet. "He's mine. So – back – off, okay?" her voice turned acidy and sharp as nails. "He may harbor secret… weird, strange… feelings for you, but they're nothing on how he feels concerning me. So don't get your hopes up sweetie. A girl like you," she motioned to her Sonny, then to herself, "can never compete with a girl like me."
She smiled, her voice sweet again. "Okay? See you around!" and she flounced off.
Sonny stood stiff as a board, shocked, in the middle of the hallway. Her eyes wide, she gazed out into space her mind reeling.
"Sonny?" then came his voice.
Sonny jumped out of her reverie, and whirled to face him.
"What Chad?" she snarled, her voice steely and angry.
"Whoa! What's up with you?" he asked, raising his hands up.
Sonny didn't even respond. She just smacked him across the face and then snarled,
"Have a good life with Portlyn."
And stalked off.

Portlyn smiled to herself as she rounded the far corner away from Sonny. Stopping just around it, he heard Chad talking to her, and then heard the smack! And had to stifle her laughter.
Stage one, complete. She thought happily.
Pulling out her phone she hit speed dial number four.
"Tawni Hart!" came the chipper female answer on the other end.
"Stage one is a success, Tawni. The plan's set in motion." Portlyn said.
"Excellent." Tawni squealed, "Stage two, tomorrow at the Commissary is a go then?"
"Yes."
"Alright, make sure you've got your stuff ready by noon."
"Roger."
And they hung up, and Portlyn grinned. This is going to be so fun.
