Chapter 1
Part 1: What's Said is Said
Recap:
On the talk show of Gotcha with Gilroy Smith the host brings up boys because he wants some kind of dish on his show and something to get out of the So Random! Cast and since sonny made a dreamy face during the show he decides to get that dish from Sonny Monroe and when he brings up Chad Dylan Cooper (out of the 3 boys: Grady, Nico, and Chad), Sonny seems to be nervous about it but she doesn't give out any details. So he brings Chad onto the show. Gilroy shows rare footage of Sonny and Chad thinking it makes them look like something is going on between them (it was a clip of them recorded very soon after they had just met and sonny was wooed by Chad but in the scene Chad was just trying to win Sonny over so she would leave the rivalries between the two shows, Mackenzie Falls and So Random, alone and she knew that too. Afterwards, Sonny pulls Chad backstage, completely unaware about the fact that Gilroy has a hidden camera backstage and he's showing it to the audience. Tawni, who remembers all the things Sonny has done for her and doesn't want Sonny to get embarrassed in front of everyone. She turns off the screen right before Sonny and Chad tell each other how they really feel for each other. Gilroy grabs the remote back and turns the T.V. back on. We see Sonny say to Chad, "That was...so much easier to say than I thought it would be." and then she walks away leaving Gilroy upset he didn't get anything out of them.
Sonny's point of view
When Chad and I finished talking back stage I walked out of there, completely and utterly unaware of what just happened. My focus snapped back as I saw Tawni sitting on Gilroy's desk saying "Rubber pencil," in her giddy mood. I laughed. Haha that never gets old. I started walking back to my chair realizing we were still on air. I sat down and gave the audience the look that says: "Nothing just happened!"
Gilroy looked at me with that same look he had before when he tried to get me and Tawni to dish out on each other. He was just looking for a catch, another thing to get taken out of context. "How did your backstage chat with Chad go?" He said it in a way as if he heard everything …yea right! But his tone bothered me…was it that obvious that I was, in fact, slightly infatuated with Chad Dylan Cooper?!
"Pshhh. What?! Eh, we just made a pact…not because we have something to hide or anything!! Just because there are times when some nosy talk show host is looking for dirt and turns out he gets sand and confuses it for dirt…stuff like that."I muttered uncontrollably but clear enough for him to hear. Gilroy gave the "what??" look. And I clarified using something he would actually understand. "For example…" I retorted. "Someone like Gilroy Smith tries to get dirt on something from me so he thinks that me and Chad have feelings for each other when we really don't but he doesn't believe that." I said quicker than last time.
"Yea…okay sure." Turning his attention back to the camera he concluded, "And that's it for today's show on Gotcha with Gilroy Smith. Yea…haha." He laughed sarcastically to himself…or the camera…I wasn't really sure. "We sure gotch-ya." His nostrils flared when he said that and I merely frowned. Then the light that said "ON AIR" clicked off and I was never more thankful for a light to turn off!
"Okay then…Tawni,"I asked her, "Ready to go back?"
"Okay, fine but first we got to stop at the store so I can buy a gold purse for Becky."
After getting the purse, things were awkward in the car so I decided, with my sunny personality, to make conversation.
"So what did you on the interview when you were all alone?" I asked her. "After the rubber pencil." I quickly added with a small smile.
"Well…"Tawni was looking for the right words. "I experienced caring…Again." She added with disgust.
"Aw!!! Tawni!!! For who?" I asked happily. Tawni was best when she cared!
"For you." She said with a slight annoyance.
I was confused and gave her a look showing her that.
She quickly added, "Because Gilroy tried to get me to admit that I hated you. And – well - I don't really hate you that much."
"Aw!!! Thank you Tawni!" I smiled. She can be great sometimes!
"Now it's your turn," she said back in her diva mode.
Not sure what she meant I frowned yet again. What is she talking about?
"Oh come on like you really don't know what I'm talking about." She laughed as if she made it perfectly clear on what she was talking about.
Ugh, she read my mind and I kept my confused look on my face and said, "Um…I really don't Tawni."
"Well what happened when you and Chad took your 'break'?" she said with air quotes around the 'break' part.
I felt my face burn deep red. But then I remembered her air quotes…what's up with that? So I tried to change the subject. Think quick, sonny. You can either say : What do you mean? Or: What's up with the air quotes Tawni? Aha! I know!! Talk about Tawni. Tawni always gets distracted talking about Tawni!!! I thought for a second on whether that made sense or not…it did! I forgot Tawni was there for a second because she then interrupted my thoughts.
"Well?!" she said expectantly.
Darn it! She was determined! That ruined my chance now I have to tell her what happened or I could lie and say that we said to each other…oops I left Tawni hanging again.
"Ugh never mind!" she said and I sighed with relief. Yay! I thought. She put down the car's mirror and reapplied her cocoa mocho cocoa lip gloss as she simply stated, "I already know you're in love with him and that he's in love with you too." No! I thought. She said like it was no big deal at all.
Wait what?!?!! Okay so the whole I'm in love with him part was probably, okay mainly, fine, and completely true. But, ugh, I didn't like the fact that even people like Tawni, who can't take five minutes away from the mirror to look at herself, could tell.
"Whatever." I simply mumbled…muttered…or both. If I had said anything else, I probably would've given it away.
The rest of the drive was silent and we didn't talk much afterwards, except about me making sure she gets a refill of her 'Cocoa Mocho Cocoa' lip gloss. Back to the typical Tawni again I see.
Chad's Point of View
I let out a sigh…and then another one, and another one as I was looking at my reflection but not necessarily thinking about my reflection. I know right?! I mean how could I, Chad Dylan Cooper, NOT be thinking about my own reflection. But yes…I wasn't because of her. There goes another sigh. Everything was going great. Me and Sonny were having another moment there, and we were about to tell each other how we really felt…but then Chad Dylan Cooper started thinking about Chad Dylan Cooper more than Sonny Monroe. I let my self-absorbed ego catch up with me to convince me to say… "No." I said no! I had said that I didn't have feelings for her. When I totally do!! So…why would you say that Chad? you ask. Because all I could think about at the time was about the fact that Chad Dylan Cooper doesn't fall for girls. Girls fall for him. Ugh, and even though Sonny said, 'It was so much easier to say than she thought it would be.' I could tell she was disappointed. And this is NOT my ego talking!!! She's the one who admitted to liking me and I had let her down. Sometimes, even I, was sick of the typical Chad. So yes, here I am looking in the mirror, sighing heavily every five seconds, thinking about why I would let my ego catch up with me instead of thinking about what I really felt.
And I didn't even know she felt that way!! She always seems annoyed around me. And during that HottiE.M.T. sketch I was completely joking about the fall-in-love-with-me thing. Sure, it happened to Tisdale, Montana, and Gomez. But Sonny is nothing like them. Or did she have feelings for me before the sketch? UGH. Stop thinking about her! I spent the next five minutes rehearsing the line in front of the mirror saying, "Chad Dylan Cooper doesn't fall for girls. Girls fall for him." Finally I gave up…And now I'm back to sighing and thinking my self-esteem is retarded and way too high.
I decided I needed to get out of my dressing room and roam around, to get my mind off Sonny. I walked into the Mackenzie Falls' lounge and started thinking about how great my show is. I mean, to be awarded number one tween drama show…psh. It's no wonder Sonny is disappointed that the greatest actor of our generation turned her down. Ugh!! There I go again! I can't even get her out of my head when I'm in my ego-absorbed side. But I know Sonny wasn't disappointed about that. As far as I'm concerned, Sonny didn't care about the whole #1 show or greatest actor thing. But I still couldn't understand why she liked me. I mean sure, I have my moments…she and I both know that. But other than that I'm a self-conceited jerk face. Woah! What just happened?! Did I just use the words she used against me…against me?? I swear I'm going mad.
"Chad! Are you okay? You keep making these weird facial expressions every five seconds like you're thinking about something WAY too much." Portlyn caught my attention with her words.
I knew I needed a cover-up. So I used my usual 'CDC' charm and simply stated, "Just practicing my emotions for the next episode of Mackenzie Falls. We don't want the ratings to go down or anything…and since I'm the best actor on the show you should really let me focus." I told her.
"Sorry!" she said apologetically.
Hah. The charm works every time…except on Sonny. Maybe that's why I like her so much. Then I paused dreadfully. OUT OF YOUR HEAD. GET HER OUT!!
Part 2
Fro-Yo Machines Got Drama Too!
Chad's Point of View
I walked out of the lounge and started walking to the cafeteria for some fro-yo, but I saw Grady and Nico using the machine. Yes, I knew their names. I kind of got used to them ever since I started picking on So Random more often now that Sonny was in their cast. But I can NEVER let them know that.
I got up to wait for when they would be finished and then they saw me behind them.
"Well, well, well if it isn't Chip Drama Pants," Grady said. Nico turned around from the machine and nodded in agreement.
"Brady, Tico." I nodded quickly at them. "Can I just get some fro-yo and get out of here?"
"Ooh! Touchy!" Nico said stepping back exaggerating.
I got annoyed and turned around deciding I should just go back to the lounge.
"It's too bad that we may have to start acting nice to him since something is heating up between him and Sonny." Grady said loud enough for me to hear.
I turned around again. WHAT. DID. THEY. JUST. SAY? Was I hearing them right? I used my 'you're crazy scoff' and said, "Excuse me?"
"Well…you really think we wouldn't watch the Gilroy show? It was Sonny's first talk show. And we-we saw that clip!" Nico said.
"Randoms, randoms, randoms." I sighed dramatically. "I'm not surprised you guys wouldn't recognize it but at Mackenzie Falls…we call that acting."
"Even the backstage footage?" Grady asked merely curious this time.
I too was curious and replied, "What backstage footage?"
Nico and Grady had their faces showing that they had said something that they shouldn't have.
"What… backstage… footage?" I asked again, slowly and angrily.
Grady nervously stood there and replied, "N-nothing Chip. Ha-ha. Nothing at all."
"Fro-yo machine's all yours!" Nico said nervously. And with that they both left the room frantically.
I quickly got my yogurt and headed back to my dressing room to go on the computer. I searched up the words: Gotcha with Gilroy Smith. Sure enough, the show with me and Sonny had been the first result to come up. How could it not be?! I was on that show!
I opened it up and saw that it was posted online and decided to watch it. I watched with boredom up until Gilroy simply stated a sentence that had me going into shock. At first he was just being…blah, blah, blah, talking about Tawni, and then, "Check in with Sonny and Chad on our hidden backstage Gotcha cam." Then it went back to blah, blah, Tawni. But I was still in shock. Hidden backstage cam?!? What?! But-but I was so sure that we were completely alone. And then I became infuriated. How dare Gilroy allow that one precious moment between me and Sonny go public!! I kept thinking until I saw Tawni turn off the screen before we said anything majorly private. By the time Gilroy turned the screen back on…we said what we meant to say. Well I didn't…since I'm still wishing I said something else…
I got up and decided to visit the So Random prop house…something I've been deciding to never come see again but I figured I needed to thank the Blondie for saving us.
When I got to the door, I hesitated on coming in. I started walking back and forth, questioning myself. Should I just wait for another time to thank Tawni…or what if Sonny's in there? Did she see the backstage scene?
What will Chad do? Will he come in...or leave? .duhhhhnnnn. =]
