Oh my gosh guys! It's here. This is where we start getting into the stuff that's going to be happening. Just a little of it, but you'll get a better gist of the whole thing in the next chapter. There's going to be lots of crazy shenanigans, and a whole lot adorable scenes. You're also going to get POVS of other characters. I have labeled when the POV changes between Sonny and Chad, per request. Love you guys! :)

SPOV

I arrived at the car, panting and huffing. Chad was already standing there, a smug expression on his face.

"How did you get up here so quickly?" I panted. The lake house was at the bottom of the hill, and the Cooper's summer cars were parked in the garage at the top of the hill.

"I know a shortcut." The heartthrob winked at me, and pulled open the passenger door to a red sports car. "Get in." He motioned to the door and slid around to the other side of the car.

The Cooper estate was at the end of a long driveway. It was gated off, and Chad had to punch in a code to get in and out of the house. I admired the scenery as we drove into town. The area was beautiful. It was full of lavish houses, home to extremely wealthy people. I had read about the lake before. Many celebrities had summer homes up here, but Chad had never mentioned having a house here. I guess I never asked, but Chad didn't seem to share much of his personal life. I could tell that he wasn't the biggest fan of his family, which was weird because they all seemed super nice. I guess Chad's not the nicest person. He's actually the most selfish person I've ever met, but still. He should love his family, right? I'll admit, I was a bit jealous of him, even if he didn't have the best relationship with them. I had always wanted siblings, especially sisters, but my parents split up when I was five. My dad had remarried four years ago, and I hadn't seen him and his new wife, Veronica, since I moved to Hollywood. He still called me once a week, but it wasn't the same. He and Veronica had a three-year old boy named Jasper, and sometimes I felt like my dad cared about Jasper and Veronica more than he cared about me. I know; it's ridiculous.

"You're being unusually quiet," Chad said, as we drove down the winding road. "What's up?" It's weird that he's so good at recognizing my emotions.

"Just admiring the scenery." I flashed him a quick smile. "It's really pretty here."

"Yeah," he admitted. "It's nice and peaceful. Totally opposite of Hollywood. I think that's why so many celebrities come here." He pulled his car into the parking lot of a grocery store. We retreated out of the car and into the store. He tore a piece of paper and handed me the bottom half. "My mom gave me this list. I say we divide and conquer. Meet me here in ten minutes, okay?"

"Sounds good!" I made my way around the store, grabbing the items on my part of the list. It seemed that Chad's mom was planning on having tacos for dinner. Ten minutes later, I walked up to see Chad, surrounded by a ton of tween girls. Of course, why am I not surprised?

"Hey," I got the stuff. I emptied the contents of my basket into the cart that Chad was pushing. He was too busy signing autographs to notice me, but someone else did.

"Oh my gosh! Sonny Munroe!" A little girl pushed out of the crowd of girls surrounding Chad and made her way over to me.

"Hi sweetie!" I exclaimed. "What's your name?" The girl was a cute little redhead. She had freckles all over her face, and a huge grin was plastered across her pale skin.

"Bethany! Will you sign this?" She passed me a scrap a paper, and I willingly signed her an autograph. She ran away, smiling a mile wide.

"Ready?" a voice called. Chad was standing behind, pushing the cart full of groceries.

"I love my fans." I smiled.

Chad giggled. "What fans?"

I then proceeded to whack him on the head with a bag of marshmallows.

"I thought you knew where you were going!" the brunette complained as we drove down the winding east coast road.

"I do know where I'm going!" I protested. Sonny just rolled her eyes at me.

Okay, so maybe I was a little lost, but I wasn't about to admit it to Sonny. I've been coming to this town since I was five, so I should know where I'm going. Right?

I hope so.

"This is ridiculous!" Sonny exclaimed. "We've been driving around for three hours. It's eight o' clock. We were supposed to be back two hours ago. Do you even know where we are?"

"No." I sighed, admitting defeat. "Well, I did. I just got a little off course." Sonny's face was red with anger. "Our poor friends. They're probably starving. There's no food in the house."

"They'll manage." I don't know why she expects me to be able to do everything. I mean, I'm already the greatest actor of our generation, so I don't know how she expects me to manage everything else on top of a burden as large as that.

"Wait a second." She peeked out the window. "We've driven by that gas station before. Chad. You're driving in circles! Pull over! I'm driving!"

"What! I am not driving in circles! And you are not driving my baby! I know where I'm going!"

"Chad Dylan Cooper, if you do not pull this car over and let me drive, I am going to take your phone and call your older sister!"

I pulled the car over.

Sonny then proceeded to get us home in fifteen or twenty minutes. Okay, so maybe I got us a little lost on purpose, but I had good intentions. I was trying to get Sonny to talk about why she was so quiet earlier. I know something was bothering her. You know, she actually does that a lot. I feel like there's something she's not letting on. I mean, generally she's a very happy person, but sometimes she just gets really sad. I'm not sure why, but I figured I would have to come up with a conversation if we were stuck in the car for much longer. That was as good as anything. It was a pretty awful plan, and I was pretty she wouldn't have said anything even if I had asked. I just figured I would give it a shot.

But that doesn't mean I care about her. Psh.

Oh, and I guess I was actually a little bit lost.

Sonny pulled my car into the four car garage at the top of the hill leading down to the house. She grabbed my keys out of the ignition and tossed them into my hands.

"Next time you drive someone around, remind me to warn them of your poor navigational skills. Also, stick to acting. I don't foresee tour guiding as your future career."

"Oh, and I'm so hurt by that. I was definitely planning on becoming a tour guide. Thanks for crushing my dreams."

"Well, when the rest of the world comes to their senses and realizes that Zac Efron is clearly the greatest actor of our generation, you're going to need a back up career."

"SONNY MUNROE!" She flashed me a quick grin, grabbed a few grocery bags, and sprinted down the stairs to the house. We arrived at about the same time. Surprisingly, we had managed to take all of the bags down in one trip.

Annie greeted us as we walked inside. "Good to see you two are alive. I was beginning to think you had murdered each other."

"Annie, I am so sorry!" Sonny cried. Of course, she has to be the nice girl. "Chad got us lost."

Annie snorted. "Figures." Gee, thanks sis. Feeling the love. "We ended up just ordering a pizza. There are a few pieces left for you two. We can save the taco stuff for tomorrow, but we have been waiting for those s'mores. Landon's started a fire, come on!"

Sonny and I were ravenous, so we each grabbed two pieces of pizza and headed out to the campfire. To our surprise, our cast weren't segregating themselves. Tawni, Chastity, and Portlyn seemed to be engrossed in a conversation about shopping. Nico, Grady, and Ferguson were taking turns telling each other jokes. Even Katherine, who barely got along with anyone, was laughing with Zora about various pranks they had pulled. Annie had joined Landon on the bench. He was strumming his guitar, and she had her arms draped around him. Ew, gross. Only Marta was sitting by herself in a corner, moping. Figures.

"S'mores!" Sonny called. The rest of the gang crowded around Sonny, grabbing their s'more ingredients.

I smiled. This was bound to be an interesting week, and for some strange reason, I was glad I was going to be spending it with Sonny Munroe.

Read, review, and enjoy! :)
