For those who seem to not know who Britta is on Riverdale, she's the girl on the football team and she's in Betty's shop class.

I promise I'm not making fun of her name, but I had to make the joke. I love Britta and we don't really know her, but I feel like I need to protect her lol. Anywaaaayyy, I'm manifesting, so decided to write out what I'd like to happen, but probably won't.

So enjoy this short (800 word) one shot were Britta asks Toni for advice.

---

Toni was sitting at her desk, organizing her files. She loves her job and helping students, but it did stress her out at times. She worried about the kids of Riverdale constantly, hoping that none of them had to suffer from getting kicked out of their house because their guardian was homophobic. She hoped they weren't getting abused in any way and that they had loving parents.

She was deep in her thoughts when there was a knock on the door. "Come in!" She called out, finding Britta in her doorway. "Hey, Britta. What's up?"

"Hi, Ms. Topaz. Uhm, Mr. Andrews said to come see you for some...advice." She said quietly, with an uneasy look on her face.

"Oh, sure. Sit down. Let's talk."

Britta sat down in the chair across from her school counselor, who was seated behind her desk. The redhead picked at her nails, looking down at her hands for a few minutes with Toni patiently waiting for her to talk.

"You know Andrea Camille, right?" She asked, still looking down at her hands.

"Yeah, of course. She's a Vixen. Is...is she bullying you? I know she can be a bit rude sometimes, but if she is she'll have to be cut from the team."

Tears started to form in her eyes. "Sort of, I guess? But that's not why I'm here. I don't think she means it."

"Britta, what is it? You can trust me."

Sniffling, she said, "I know I can, Ms. Topaz. Uhm, I...uhm...I think I'm gay? Or bisexual? I don't really know. I felt like I could talk to Mr. Andrews about it, but he directed me to you."

Toni let out a soft sigh of relief. She didn't want to kick Andrea off the Vixens. "Okay, well Arch-Mr. Andrews pointed you in the right direction. But what does this have to do with Andrea?"

"Well, I think I have a crush on her." Britta confessed, with a blush.

"Let me make sure I understand." Toni chuckled to herself, thinking of her high school days. "Andrea has bullied you in the past, but she's not as bad anymore, and you have a crush on her?"

Britta nodded, wiping the tears from her face.

"Well, I understand questioning your sexuality, and honestly, it's quite common. I actually came out as bisexual when I was fourteen. And I had a girlfriend for a few years in high school."

"Really? You did?" Britta asked, surprised.

Toni nodded. "Mmhm. And...neither of us really had anyone who supported us, except for our friends. It took a while for mine to come around, though. Have you talked to anyone about it before?"

"I haven't, no. I can only hope that I have a good support system. I feel like I don't have very many friends, though." She sighed.

"I can understand that. How do you think your parents would react? Do you think that's something you can tell them?"

"It's just me and my mom. But, maybe? Our neighbors are two men who are husbands and she doesn't seem to mind." The redhead shrugged.

"Alright. That's good. Do you want to talk about your feelings towards Andrea?"

Britta sighed, picking at her nails again, but had a small smile on her face. "It's like...I don't feel like I can breathe when I'm around her. An-and my hands get sweaty."

"Yup. You've got it bad." Toni chuckled. "Have you thought about asking her out?"

"What? No! We barely even talk. I wouldn't even know what to do for a date."

"Well. You could take her to a movie at the Bijou and go to Pop's for some milkshakes." The counselor shrugged. "It worked for me."

"But how do I approach her? She's kind of intimidating." Britta giggled.

"The good ones always are. Hmm...maybe put a note in her locker, with your phone number and a note? She could text you or meet you after school, or after Vixens practice for an actual conversation, even."

Britta thought for a moment before nodding with a large smile. "Okay. I'll try that. Thanks, Ms. Topaz. Can I also get a note for class?"

Toni wrote out a tardy slip for the student and wished her luck. She felt proud that she was able to help a student, much like her young self. Someone who had a crush on the intimidating, bossy girl. She grabbed her phone before she could change her mind and texted Cheryl, seeing as the two had been on better terms since the redhead had become co-HBIC of the Vixens.

Toni: How would you feel about going to the Bijou and Pop's with me this weekend?
