Choni One Shots

Climbing Out Pt. 2

It had been a few weeks since their date at Pop's and the two girls couldn't get enough of each other. They were always talking in the hallways, or in the student lounge between classes. Occasionally they'd make out in the girls bathroom and steal glances across the cafeteria. The two were also almost always texting each other in their free time.

It was now another Friday night and the Bulldogs had just won their home game, which was followed by a party at Chuck Clayton's. The cheerleaders were gathering their bags after the game and heading to their vehicles when Cheryl was stopped by Veronica.

"Are you going to Chuck's tonight, Cher?"

"No, I can't. Sorry. My mom has been losing her mind over me suddenly having a curfew. So I have to go home." She shrugged.

Veronica pouted. "Well, that sucks. I'll see you Monday, then. Oh, did you ever figure out which one of Sweet Pea's friends you'd want to go on a date with? We're thinking Sunday."

"I'm sorry, Ronnie. I'm not really interested."

"Not even for free food and getting to hang out with me?"

Cheryl thought for a moment. She didn't want to upset her friend, but she really didn't want to go on a double date with a guy. "I need to tell you something. And you need to promise me that you won't tell anyone."

Veronica furrowed her eyebrows. "Of course. Whatever it is, you can trust me."

The redhead closed her eyes and took a deep breath before quietly saying, "I don't really want to go on your double date because...I'm gay, Veronica."

It took a moment before Veronica responded, but she didn't seem to be shocked. "Well, it's about time. I was never really sure, but then Betty told me that you were giving Toni heart eyes at school the other day."

Cheryl was now shocked, "Wait, what? You knew?"

"Well, I had my suspicions. So did Betty and Josie. But, we don't care, Cheryl. We still love you no matter what. What if...me, Sweet Pea, you and Toni went out Sunday? We could do brunch at Pop's. I could have Sweets ask Toni for you."

"Actually...I can ask Toni. We've maybe gone out already and we talk a lot."

"Cheryl Blossom. Color me shocked. Well then, talk to Toni. I'll text you after I talk to Sweets. Hopefully I'll see you Sunday."

"Yeah, hopefully." Cheryl said as she got into her car and drove home. When she got home and up to her room, thankfully avoiding her mother, she saw that she had a text from Toni.

Toni: Hey, Bombshell. Were you coming to the party tonight?

Cheryl: Unfortunately, I'm not.

Toni: That sucks. I was hoping to see you :(

The redhead smiled at the Serpents text before responding. She really liked Toni and believed Toni liked her back.

Cheryl: Sorry, my mom has been up my ass since our date.

Toni: Shit. Well, I hope everything's alright. I know what it's like living with a shit show of a guardian. I can only hope she's not nearly as bad as my uncle.

If only you knew, Toni.

Cheryl: It's whatever. She'll get over it eventually.

Toni: Wait, does your mom know about our date? Is that why she's upset?

Cheryl: Not necessarily. She doesn't know about it. At least not that I know of. But...I guess she found out about the last party. When we were in the bathroom.
