A/N: Hellooooo people!
First chapter of Once Upon A Song!
Please enjoy :D
Sonny's POV:
"Sonny! Wake up right now!"
I groaned as I shifted under the covers on my tiny twin bed. I pulled the covers away from my face and looked at the old wall clock on the wall in front of my bed. It read out 7 a.m.
"Sonny! I said wake up! Get your ass here right now!", said Felicia's annoying high pitched voice.
I quickly got out of bed and ran down the 3 flights of stairs.
"Yes Felicia?", I asked my step mother. She was a bitch. A big one.
Her fake botox laden face looked up from a fashion magazine and I waited for orders as her creepy green eyes penetrated my brown ones.
"You're late! I want my bacon now!", she yelled at me in her annoying voice. I winced and nodded as I headed towards the kitchen.
Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself.
The name's Sonny, Sonny Monroe. Age 17, sophomore in Santa Monica Californian Academy.
I live in Hollywood, with my step mother and her idiocy laden twins; Sabrina and Katie. In case you're wondering, no, I don't have a father or a mother. My mother died after child birth, and I was the only child. When I was around 7, my dad met Felicia and well, married her. But he died when I was 8. Of course, like in any fairytale, she was a terrible step mother. She wanted to get rid of me the minute she found out about my father's death. But she couldn't do that, since she was and still is my legal guardian, till i'm old enough to move out. I have no idea what I'll do once I'm 18. And my dad didn't even leave a will or anything, so everything he owned went to her. Oh right I almost forgot, my dad owned a studio, so he was rich. And once my stepmother got the money, she indulged herself with everything; cars, clothes, surgeries; you name it. My dad and I lived in a huge mansion on Beverly Hills, and of course Felicia got that too. And her daughters... where do I start? Sabrina and Katie; obnoxious, rude, dumb, and tormenting people to have to live with. They were always giving me chores to do, including their homework.
I hated my life, I often thought about why I still suffered, I could easily kill myself and put an end to this never ending madness. But then I remember what my mom would have wanted if she were alive. Even though I'd never met her, I still felt like a part of her existed inside of me.
I quickly shook away my thoughts when I saw that the bacon was done. I quickly flipped onto a plate along with some toast and a glass of orange juice, before heading towards the living room.
I carefully placed the dish in front of Felicia, who nodded her head in approval. I quickly climbed up the stairs, back to my room, which was up in the attic. It actually wasn't bad, since the attic was big and roomy, and Felicia had let me take almost all of my original belongings. I packed my back pack and set out my clothes, before running down to wake up dumb and dumber.
They had taken my bedroom, and wrecked it. How, you ask? The room was completely pink, and clustered with posters of... shudder.... Chad Dylan Cooper, some teen drama star the twins were in love with. Okay, so he wasn't just some average star, he was world famous. Every girl I knew, apart from myself, was gaga for the teen heart throb. But I had to admit... he was kind of cute... with his dirty blonde hair and those blue eyes...
I snapped out of it and shook Sabrina and Katie. They groaned in the bed and squirmed, unfortunately in the same direction, and ended up banging into each other. They howled as they sat up, rubbing their foreheads and muttering curses. Sabrina was the slightly more smarter, shorter version of Katie. She had blonde hair and green eyes like her mother. Katie, on the other hand, was very dumb. She had short brown hair and green eyes. They both were constantly quarreling, and they had annoying voices.
"Yo Sonny! Go! Shooo! You don't want us to tell mother that you were annoying us, do you?", said Sabrina, smirking. Katie lamely snorted in response as she laughed.
I rolled my eyes in response and left their room to go get ready for school.
I showered, brushed my teeth and combed my hair.
I wore the clothes I had picked out, A lilac tee, white hoodie and black jeans. My body was in perfect shape, but I chose not to show it. The clothes I usually wore weren't too great, I didn't own much anyway. But I had some money that Felicia didn't know about; over 5000 dollars. My dad had given me the money when I was 5, saying that I was only to use this in emergencies. So I rarely used it, usually for clothes when I wore out my previous ones, since Felicia rarely gave me the money to buy necessities. But I worked at my father's studio after school and on weekends, so I made a fair amount of money. And yes, Felicia owned the studio too.
In case I forgot to mention, Chad Dylan Cooper filmed there too, for his show, Mackenzie Falls. I'd seen it, it was good, but only because he was a good actor. But he'd never seen me at the studios, I worked on the other side of the studio, far from where he usually filmed. We used to be friends before my father died, but I guess we lost contact after that, since I was never allowed back to the studios till I started working there last year.
I wore my partially worn out converse and grabbed my book bag. I put my phone in my pocket and made my way out of the house.
I walked out the huge gate and waited for Tawni, my best friend, to pick me up. Well she was actually my only friend, since the rest had run off when they heard the horrible rumors Sabrina and Katie spread about me in the whole school.
Tawni was the only one that believed me, and she stayed by my side. I looked at my watch, and right when I looked back up, I saw Tawni's car roll down the turning. I waved and flashed her a grin as the car halted in front of me. I got into the seat next to her and buckled up as she started the engine.
"You need new clothes", Tawni commented.
I rolled my eyes. Tawni was like a fashion critic. She actually had a good taste, but unfortunately she wasted her time advising the wrong person. I needed to save money for college, there was no way I was to blow my money when not needed.
"Tawni, you know I don't care about the clothes I wear, who's there to impress anyway?", I said to her.
She opened her mouth but shut it once she realized that there was nothing to argue with.
Soon enough, we pulled over and Tawni looked for a place to park her car in the crowded high school parking lot.
"Bazinga", Tawni said to no one in particular as she found an empty space. She was about to move into the spot, when another car rushed past hers and stole the spot. I groaned. I knew exactly who the space stealing ass was: Rachel Lebowitz, flanked by her two handmaidens, Megan Edwards and Olivia Jones. Megan and Olivia look almost exactly the same, only distinguishable by a slight difference in the shade of their straight brown hair, and the fact that Olivia says the word 'like' like all the time.
Rachel and I used to be inseparable, way back in preschool. But then we had what Tawni likes to call the Teletubby incident. Rachel and I both showed up as Tinky Winky, you know, the tall purple one. My costume was way better, since my dad had been alive and had gotten me the very best costume. Rachel never got over that incident, because she likes to be one of a kind, fashion-wise. Rumor has it that she texts her hand maidens every morning to make sure that there is no inadvertent clothing cloning.
She was now the most popular girl in school, and very pretty. She had blonde hair, baby blue eyes, and a very fit body. She always dressed like a slut, not that she wasn't one anyway. I took a look at her outfit for today: a mini skirt that barely covered anything, a short and very revealing tank top, 5 inch heels, and so much makeup that she looked like a barbie doll.
"Hey! I was here first!", screeched an angry Tawni at Rachel.
Rachel rolled her eyes and got out of her Porsche along with her hand maidens.
She put a perfectly manicured hand on her waist and lamely said, "You snooze you lose!"
Megan giggled while Olivia added, "Yeah, you're like, so slow!"
I shook my head in disapproval as Tawni and I waved off their insignificant lame comments. Tawni turned her car as she found a new parking spot.
"I can't believe that girl!", I said to Tawni as we entered the hall way.
"I know right? Who does she think she is? She is so dumb, I sometimes wonder if she's secretly related to your sisters", she responded as we headed towards our lockers.
"Ugh, you mean step-sisters", I said, disgust clearly present in my voice.
She chuckled. "Yeah, same thing."
I shook my head and opened my locker. I was about to remove my books when I heard a bunch of girls screaming. I dropped my books in surprise as I turned around.
There was a group of about 20 girls, most of them cheer leaders, squealing and talking about something.
Suddenly one of them screeched out, "OMG I know right!? I can't believe that Chad Dylan Cooper actually went to this school and that he's coming back! He is so hot!"
My jaw dropped. That cute jack ass was coming here? Great. As If there wasn't enough drama here. What if he finds out that I work in the studio?
Hell no. My dad used to be friends with his dad! And I distinctly remember being introduced to him when I was 6. We were good friends. What if he remembers me? Not that I'm complaining, that would be cool.
But I feel too insecure around guys...
Hell, who am I kidding? I'll be invisible around that guy. He'll most probably be with Rachel and her hand maidens anyway.
I sighed as I shut my locker and picked up the scattered books. Suddenly I heard an ear-splitting scream.
Oh wow, he was here already?
A/N: hehe, so how was it? Oh yeah, one more thing, I suck at ending my chapters. So work with me here.
Hope you liked the first chapter, it was basically an introduction to the main characters, apart from the leading male hottie of course ;)
So please review and tell me how it was :D
XOXO
