I opened my tired eyes to a world of light. The sun was blaring through the small window of my bedroom. I slowly got out of bed, only to find a note slipped under my door. I decided that I'd read it later since my freshly woken eyes wouldn't cooperate. I somehow got into the tiny washroom, connecting to my bedroom. My morning routine is not much, brushing my teeth, showering, styling my pink locks into space buns (usually), and applying some light mascara, eyeshadow, foundation etc. Drug store things since there's not much I can afford.
I put on fishnets, ripped black jeans, black boots, a dark grey cropped top and my serpent jacket. Before leaving I take my keys to my bike, and read the letter. It was from Jughead saying that I was invited to a graduation party tomorrow at 8. I smirked and went off to school.
I was quite the party girl, so I was looking forward to this event. I was also looking forward to graduating from this hell school, Riverdale High. I parked my bike next to Jughead's, (who's my best friend), and walked through the pale blue doors of my nightmares.
On the stairs ahead of me was the girl of my dreams. Cheryl Blossom. The daughter of the richest family in Riverdale. Her beautiful red hair went to her waist, pale skin that glowed, and an outfit that always had red incorporated in it. She walked down in her bright stilettos, giving everyone around her glares with her light brown eyes. I looked away before she caught my stare.
I strolled down the hallway dodging people's attempts to punch, elbow, kick, or shove me. Finally, I get into the students lounge where all my friends hang out.
Sitting on the red leather couch is Betty Cooper, a blonde who often wears her hair in a ponytail, with blue-green eyes. Basically a kind, perfect princess who also happens to be Jughead's girlfriend. We're pretty good friends in fact. Holding her hand is Jughead Jones. A black-haired, green eyed serpent, who eats a ton but still keeps his skinny figure.
Across the couch on a leather blue chair is Archie Andrews, Betty's neighbour who's your boy next door. A red haired, brown-eyed jock, who is also an aspiring musician. Sitting on top of him is Veronica Lodge. A wealthy girl from New York who's fathers a criminal. We've had our ups and downs but she's okay I guess. With a black bob, dark brown eyes, and pearls.
"Ah Toni, you finally made it. We were getting worried." Jughead laughs, I groan. I'm always late, since I live about fourth minutes away. We were having a friendly conversation about the party tomorrow, when Reggie, a jock on the football teams says, "Toni, you know you need a date for the party? And since your single I guess you can't come." He does a fake pout and continues. "Maybe another lesbian would like to go with you, but I doubt it. You're much of a delight."
I roll my eyes when Betty speaks up, "Fuck off Reggie." I'm surprised since I never thought that Betty would use a swear word in a sentence. "Huh? What'd you say pretty girl? You dark bitch." Reggie smirks. In a split second Jughead got up and threw a punch at his jaw. Reggie flew back, since Jughead is pretty strong. I decide to leave, not wanting to get any further into this mess. As I walk out into the hallway I hear grunts, and screams from Betty and Veronica. I guess Archie stepped up too. Silently, I went through the halls to my first class. When I bumped into someone. "Oh sorry." I mumbled getting up. I was looking up at Cheryl Blossom. I was at loss of words, I literally couldn't breathe. "Move it, cha cha." She said. I could see the spark in her eyes though. She shoved me to the right, and my eyes followed her until she was out of sight. "You really like her." A voice came from behind. I turned around. It was Betty. "I really do."
The rest of the day wasn't very eventful. Just classes, lunch. When the bell rang, I hopped out of class and onto my black/purple/pink motorcycle, and to the White Wyrm where all the serpents hanged out. I had forgotten that the beauty Cheryl Blossom was also a serpent. She had gone through the 'test' about last week.
I walked into the dark place next to Jughead who arrived at a similar time as I did. "Are you going to invite Cheryl to the party tomorrow?" Asks Jug. "I want to.. But the problem is she hates me." I respond, taking a seat at the bar.
"Are you serious? Have you seen how she looks at you? It's an act. You have to ask her Toni!" Jughead exclaims. "Oh, fine." I say, nervously.
Slowly, I go over to the centre where a black stage sits. And there she was. I hesitated before touching her shoulder. "Cheryl, would you like to go to the party tomorrow.. As my date?" I ask. My teeth clenching. I feel sweat in my fists.
