Mean Girl?

I had just got back to the alley I parked my bike in not long ago when I noticed it was missing.

"Shit" I said under my breath

Since my bike was gone, I decided to walk back to my apartment. Before I left I changed back into my clothes in case my uncle was home. I opened the door and looked around to see if my uncle was home. Once I realized he wasn't, I jumped on the couch and put on a movie. I had just decided on "The perks of being a Wallflower" before my phone buzzed. I checked it and saw a text from Jughead.

"Has Cheryl been acting... Weird around you?"

"She's been really nice." I quickly responded.

"So that's a yes. She must like you Toni. I bet if you talked to her you could become her friend. Maybe you'd even make it into the popular group."

"Friend?"

"Ya. Were you hoping for more? From my knowledge, and I do know a lot, Cheryl is hetero."

I put down my phone for a second after I read that and stared at the ceiling. I had a lot going on in my mind. Cheryl is a mean person? My bikes gone... And it was expensive. Cheryl isn't out yet...

I decided to go to sleep because I didn't want to have to think about those things. I was having a good night, and I intended it to stay that way.

The next morning I walked to school, still thinking about Cheryl and my bike. Once I finally got to the school, I was surprised to find my bike in the parking lot with a tall muscular black-haired loudmouth leaning on it.

"Ya I found this bike in an alleyway last night. Its pretty nice right? Right next to the seat it says Don't fucking die, and I think that's pretty funny."

"Hey dipshit that's my bike!" I didn't mean to sound so, well... Mean, but I was a little pissed.

"Wow chill out pinkie pie. I don't see your name on it." He said in response.

"Reggie just give her the bike back." I heard Archie say.

"You know I don't think I want to. I've seen her hanging around with those low lifes Sweet Pea and Fangs. And I don't want a dirty person like that touching my bike."

At that moment I snapped. I didn't want to resort to violence, but as I said earlier, I was pissed. I slammed my fist across his face hard enough to make him stumble back a little bit. He came at me and tried to hit me, but I used the opportunity to grab his wrist and throw him over my shoulder. He bent down on the ground, moaning in simultaneous pain and disappointment.

I leaned down towards him to grab my keys and said, "insult me again and I'll send you too the hospital."

As I was walking away I could hear Reggies friends laughing at him as if it was so rare that a girl beat up a boy. Even though I was upset, I couldn't help but smirk after thinking about what I'd done.

I walked into the school and saw Jughead. He said in the calmest way possible, "So I saw you beat up Reggie."

"Ya he had it coming."

"We've all swung at him at least once. I can't believe he doesn't know how to spell necrophilia."

Normally I would've questioned such a weird statement, but I saw Cheryl walking by and I wanted to say hi.

"Hey Cherry! How was your night?"

"Out of the way cha-cha, ive got better things to do."

After hearing her say that I was kind of shocked. I could tell Jughead realized that cause he looked at me and said, "She's been nice to you?"

"She was!" I suddenly said in a louder tone.

"You should go talk to her. Maybe? I don't know. I don't understand girls."

"You have a girlfriend."

"I don't know anymore really. I told her I was asexual and we haven't talked since."

"Jug I'm sorry but you should talk to her, ok?" The bell rang after I said that, so I went off to first period.

In class I could tell Cheryl wasn't paying attention, so I decided to text her and ask what was wrong.

"Hey is something wrong? Was I bad?" I asked quickly over text

I looked over at her as she glanced down towards her phone. She looked over at me and smirked softly, as if she was sad but trying to be happy.

"TT... I'm sorry about what happened in the halls, but people can't know about what happened. Its easier to pretend I hate you then to show I care about you."

"Cheryl, I'm sorry but why can't people know?"

"People, my mom especially, will hate me! No one knows about me, or even cares to...

"Cheryl you're wrong! Eveyone will love you for who you are, no matter who you decide to love! And if they don't, well, I have a red and blue glove that's dying to meet their face."

"Thanks TT. Also, meet me in the hall closest next to the math room after class? ;)"

"I'll be there. :)"
