Choni | When Opposites Attract

*6*

*Cheryl's Perspective*

It was Sunday, all I had thought about for the entire weekend was one pink haired serpent. I didn't know what I was feeling until I remembered Heather. I sat up from my bed, shocked.

I like Toni.

At this realization I jumped out of my bed and picked up my phone, scrolling down my messages to Toni.

<Toni 🐍>

Me: Hey, do you wanna meet up somewhere?

It wasn't even a minute before I got a reply.

Toni 🐍: Yeah sure, i've been wanting to talk to you about something actually. Meet me at Pops?

Me: Sound good.

I set down my phone and starting to get changed into something nice, while planning what I was going to say. 

I headed downstairs and quickly out the door to avoid my mother, making it to the car and starting the engine and making my way to Pops.

*Toni's Perspective*

I sat in Pop's, waiting for a certain redhead. This was it, i was about to tell her that I have feeling for her, the question was, did she feel the same way. All of my thoughts were cut short when I saw a beautiful redhead enter the diner. I stared at her for what seemed like hours.

"Um hello? Earth to Topaz!" 

I snapped out of it and saw Cheryl waving her hand in front of my face. 

"Huh? I wasn-" I started but cut off my Cheryl, "I know I'm gorgeous, you don't have to drool over me though."She teased. I blushed slightly, quickly looking down to avoid Cheryl noticing. We ordered two milkshakes, one chocolate and one strawberry, as we talked for what seemed like hours, but turned out to be only half an hour or so.

"So listen," I started, it's now or never. "I rea-," I was cut off by the sound of a gunshot. It came from just outside when suddenly I heard the diners door slam open, as well as the welcoming sound of Pop's jingle.

"Cheryl lay down right now!" I muttered, I could see the terror in her eyes as she laid down on the chair of one of Pop's boothes. The gunman had on a black leather jacket with no logo or anything of the sort on it, as well as a flannel under it with a black mask. He had on black boots with denim jeans as he made his way over to Pop with his back towards me, so I decided to get out of the booth and very silently make my way over to the counter.

Once I made it to the side of counter I took and deep breath and stood up, opening the side of the counter to let me in behind, allowing me to lunge at the masked man. I got my arms around his neck as he swung himself back and forth trying to release himself of my grasp but I wouldn't give in, I couldn't give in knowing Cheryl was in danger.

I used the force of him swing around to pull myself over his head and slam him down on the ground, my hands still around his neck as my feet worked to restrain his arms from doing anything with the gun in his hand. I looked into his eyes, they were green. 

Suddenly his arm broke loose and he pulled the gun out and aimed at me, I gasped and the last thing I remember was the sound of a gunshot and Cheryl yelling my name before I looked at my stomach to see a bloody T-shirt, then blacking out.
