I really enjoyed writing this part. Like the first, it's also in Cheryl's POV.

The next morning:

Cheryl woke up, slowly opening her eyes. She seemed to have slept through the night after Toni helped her relax, as there was now sunlight shining into their room. She moved to find her phone and check the time, but soon realized she couldn't move very far due to the arm draped over her waist, holding onto her protectively with another underneath her neck, crossing over her chest.

Deciding she wasn't going anywhere anytime soon, she tried to turn around to face Toni, which was successful. Cheryl had seen the shorter girl sleeping multiple times in the week that they've been roommates, but this was different. They've even shared the same bed, having fallen asleep watching a movie.

Toni looked so peaceful and content, Cheryl wondered if she herself ever looked like that when she slept. The redhead took in all of the other girls' features that she has admired so many times, from afar and up close. Cheryl Blossom was indeed falling for Toni Topaz and Cheryl wondered if the feelings were mutual. She would like to think that they are, what with just the way Toni acts around her when someone hits on her.

The redhead thought back to Wednesday afternoon when they met up after class to walk to the dining hall together for lunch. Toni was already waiting at their meet up spot when Cheryl had arrived, but a guy was sitting with her, giving the tanned girl heart eyes. Cheryl felt queasy until she got closer and Toni looked up at her with a bright smile, immediately standing up and cutting off the guy mid sentence.

"Sorry, whatever your name is, but I have a lunch date. See ya!" Toni told the guy as she stood up and linked arms with Cheryl. The two walked for a moment before Cheryl shyly spoke up, "Sorry if I interrupted that. I could have gone by myself."

Toni turned to look at her as they walked, "No need, Cher. I'd rather spend time with you, anyway." Once they arrived at the dining hall, Toni held the door open for Cheryl, which wasn't out of the ordinary, but Cheryl always found it to be adorable. She found everything about Toni to be adorable and she was literally the most generous person the redhead had ever met.

Once the two girls were inside and grabbed something to eat, they found a booth to sit at. Cheryl sat down first, followed by Toni who sat next to her, instead of in the chair across from her, like normal. She wasn't complaining and never asked about the seating decision. Shortly after they started eating, their conversation was interrupted by Amber and a guy they didn't know who sat down in the chairs across from them.

"Toni, Cheryl, this is my friend Greg. We actually went to high school together and had no idea we were both attending NYU. How funny is that?! Anyway, Toni, I was wondering if you were free this weekend to go see a movie with us, maybe go out for dinner?" Amber asked, batting her eyelashes.

Cheryl did everything in her power to not roll her eyes at the blonde girl, but right when she was about to, she heard Toni speak, "Nah, I'm good. Thanks, though." as she draped an arm around Cheryl's shoulders. It seemed that Greg was holding in a laugh at his friend's attempts and Amber had a look of anger on her face, but they didn't leave.
