Cheryl’s pov ❣ {Earlier that day}
I texted Betty and Veronica in a group chat and said
Me: Hey, practice at 4. Be ready.
Veronica: Will be.
Betty: Great, c u there.
3:30 pm, 5 hours later
I got into my convertible and rolled down the top. I put my black keys
into the empty key spot. I started the engine and I pulled out of my
driveway. I drove to the highschool field and I saw most of the cheer
squad standing there. They were all wearing black adidas or nike shorts
with a white and yellow t-shirt like usual with a big blue R on the front.
We all got in a circle and started talking waiting for the other girls to
get there. Betty and a few others were there. I looked over at Betty and
she looked back quickly. I looked away into the parking lot and saw a
few other cars pull in. Betty walked over to me and whispered “Any
updates on Toni?” she looked scared and concerned. I said sincerely
“No, I haven’t seen her anywhere. It’s almost like she went missing like
you hoped. Well good job North girl. Anyway we need to start. Text
Veronica and tell her to get her a down here.” I said. I walked over near
far end of the field and played pandora off of the speaker. I hummed the
song quietly and waited for the rest of them to get here. When all the
River Vixens got to practice I yelled at them to get in a line. “Ok now
everyone Next thursday we are going to be hosting tryout to join the
Vixens. SO we need posters around the school.” they nodded and I said
“So today we are going to have preparations for thursday we are going
to have groups Betty veronica with me and the rest of you plan a poster
design and print it then post them around the school. Ok good so let’s
go vixens.” they all scattered. Veronica and Betty walked up to me. I
looked over my shoulder and I saw Toni running through the parking
lot. I quickly looked back at Betty and Veronica. “You ok Cheryl you look
like u saw a ghost.” “Uhh yea yea im fine” They shook their head and
then Veronica said “So Cheryl what are we doing for the tryouts
Thursday.” “Well Ronni we are going to be setting everything up in the
gym.” I said. “Yea but people have gym classes tomorrow and thursday.”
Betty said confused. “Well Betty” I said sharply “ the gym classes are
held outside this week so principal Weatherbee gave me permission to
set up now.” I stated. “Ok but its only tuesday why can't we just set up
tomorrow?” “BECAUSE VERONICA I SAID SO AND TOMORROW WE HAVE TO PUT FLYERS OUT BECAUSE I KNOW THEY WONT” “Ok ok
Cheryl calm down” Veronica said. We went inside and we set up the day
was almost over and I decided to go to Pop’s alone. When I swung the
doors open I never expected to see Toni sitting on the bar stool.
Tonis pov
I was drinking my vanilla milkshake when behind me I heard
someone say “Hey cha-cha haven't seen you in awhile I thought you
took our warning and disappeared.” I sighed “Hello red what brings You
over to criticize me?” “Oh nothing just that your here” She said as she
took the seat next to me. “So red what's bothering you” I asked and
turned my head towards her. “Nothing why do you say that?” “Because it looks like something or someone is aggravating you” “Well cha-cha…” “Just tell me cheryl.” “Ugh you won’t stop till I do tell you” she said sighing “exactly” I started with a smirk. “ Well Topaz..” she started
stating and she continued. It was dark outside and She had a tear
running down her face. “ I had this best friend her name was heather, it
was all good between us until my devil of a mother found us in the same bed she ruined that relationship and now all she does is abuse me call
me deviant and a monster, every day she tells me i'm a waste of oxygen
and the worst part is I believe her.” Cheryl said breaking down. I put my
hand on her back,looked into her eyes, and said “Look cheryl you're not deviant your not a monster your not a waste of air ok … your
Sensational.”
