Choni One Shots

Runaway Pt. 1

Hellooooo, lovelies <3 Welcome to Runaway. I'm not sure how many parts this one shot will be. It'll probably be close to the same as Climbing Out...around 13k words lol. 

A bit of a summary, I suppose: This takes place with Choni being in high school. Jason is alive. Clifford is alive. Toni has a loving family, and doesn't live with her dumpster fire uncle. The Blossom's don't own a Maple business and are more of a 'normal' family.

-------

It was Sunday night when Toni was laying in bed, not able to sleep. She was too anxious and excited about her first day at Riverdale High on Monday. Her old school, Southside High, had been shut down, due to the fire marshall finding black mold in the basement that was slowly making its way through the school.

Southside High was a complete joke, in Toni's opinion. She was a straight A student who had perfect attendance, even though she rarely wanted to actually go to that dump the town called a school. She really only went to hang out with her friends, Veronica, Jughead and Betty. The pinkette wasn't too terribly worried about making friends or fitting in, as Betty's cousin went to her new school and was going to show them around tomorrow.

She had seen Cheryl a handful of times, but had never been introduced to her. Toni always admired her from afar and loved looking at the red hair that flowed across pale shoulders when she would catch a glance of the cousins walking around town during the summer.

As she laid in her bed, she started thinking about the redhead and suddenly felt the need to look at the girl. She grabbed her phone, going to Betty's Facebook page and then to her friends list. She scrolled until she found the name Cheryl Blossom, clicking on the profile. The account was private, so the profile picture wasn't available. She sighed in defeat and locked her phone, falling asleep a few minutes later.

Toni's 6am alarm went off, causing her to groan, immediately hitting snooze. Ten minutes later, her alarm went off again. How the fuck has it already been ten minutes?! She thought, hitting snooze again.

She suddenly heard a knock on her door, "Toni, you need to get up for school. I made coffee and some eggs." Her father said from the other side of the door, causing her to groan once again as she threw off her blanket.

The pinkette got up and walked to the kitchen, being greeted by her father and grandfather. "Good morning, T. Coffee's fresh." Her grandpa said from the kitchen table, the morning newspaper in one hand, a coffee cup in the other.

"Thanks, gramps." Toni said with a raspy morning voice as she grabbed herself a mug and sat at the table where a fresh plate of eggs sat.

"Excited for your first day? You're getting a ride from Veronica, right?" Her dad asked, leaning against the counter.

"Yeah, she should be here around 7:15. She wants to get there early for some welcome party thing that Jug's friend is in charge of. We're all riding together." The pinkette said through a mouthful of food.

 "Glad you guys are all going together. I actually have an interview later today, so I may not be home when you get off."

"Your ole dad will be the new supervisor for Andrews Construction by the end of the day. I know it." Toni's grandpa said with a proud smile. Her dad had been out of work for a month, being laid off by the City of Riverdale due to budget cuts. He's worked in construction and maintenance jobs since he was sixteen and could probably run his own company if he had the money to do so.

"That's awesome, dad." Toni smiled. "Just give the boss that Topaz charm." Her dad and grandpa laughed as she got up to put her plate away. She refilled her coffee and headed to the bathroom to shower and get ready for the day.
