Cheryl's POV
I lay in bed, unable to sleep. Fuck, fuck, fuck. I was so deeply screwed. My mother would be so angry if she heard anything about this. I decided not to care. The name could wither and crumble to dust and blow away in the riverdale wind. I knew who i was, but that wouldnt change how angry mommy would be. I knew what would come out of it all. For now, i tried to forget about the future. Because every time i closed my eyes, i saw her, against the lockers, with her brown skin and magenta hair. Eventually, i fell asleep.

I walked into school the next morning, searching for Toni in the hall. When i found her, i jogged to catch up with her. "Hey cha-cha" i said as i shoulder-bumped her like an over friendly cat. "Hey. I need to talk to you. Meet me during lunch?" Toni responds. "Whatever you want. See you then." I smile and head to class.

*Time Skip*
I head to the library, down to the corner where i see toni waiting. "So what did you want to talk about? " i say, mockinly, but not in a rude way. "What do you think? I dont know maybe the fact we made out against the lockers yesterday? That might be it." She scoffs. " Why? Did you not like it, cause if not im very hurt." I ask. "No, no nothing like that, but if were going to continue, whatever this is, we should discuss it further. Say, over milkshakes at Pop's?" She smiles at me. "Cha cha, are you asking me out?" I grin at her. "Oh my god, idiot yes i am. Would you like to go out with me?" Toni says, slightly exasperated. "I knew. I just wanted to hear you say it." I teased. She rolled her eyes and turned away. But as she walked off a turned the corner, i could see her smiling.

* time skip*

I walked into Pops and smiled at Toni.
"Cha-cha." I say jokingly. "Hello to you too Cheryl." She says as she rolls her eyes at me. "Hello ladies, what can i get you?" FP asks us. "Fries." Toni responds. "Strawberry milkshake for me." I say to him. I've made my peace with that ghost of the past, and am now able to be amicable toward the serpent leader. We start to talk a bit, and i finally felt, happy. For the first time since Jason died. "Why you such a bitch sometimes?" Toni asks all of a sudden. "What?" I say. "Oh come on. You are kind of a bitch sometimes." "Well, i dont know, i never really needed friends as a kid, i always had Jay-Jay. Plus, i took all the hate from my mom, kinda pulled it in, turned it outward, towards everyone else." I said. Toni looked at me. "Wow thats depressing." She laughs. "Oh shut up. What about you, whats youre big sob story? Whyd you join the serpents?" I ask her. "Well, my dad was one, and when he passed away, they were more than happy to make ends meet for me. Theyre my family now. Theyre good people." I said. "If any of them are anything like you i would be more than happy to give them a chance." She smiled. The food came and the rest of the date went by before i knew it. She drove me back to my place, and kissed me. "Night, Cha-Cha." She mocked, but the name had no longer become one of ridicule, but one of romance and caring. "Wait before you go....this was really great. We should do it again." I said to Cheryl before she could drive away. "Yeah. Ill see you at school. She said, and drove off. I went to bed that night, happy for the first time in a while.
