cheryl woke up and immediately her anxiety took over. how was she going to apologize to everyone? would they believe her? probably not. but it was worth a try. suddenly cheryl didn't want to apologize, not because she didn't like the people of riverdale high, but because she didn't want to embarrass herself. it was so scary, having to take a risk like saying sorry. she never said sorry. she had always told herself they didn't deserve a sorry from the iconic cheryl blossom. no, that was her excuse for not wanting so seem vulnerable. this time she wouldn't set up walls to protect herself from feelings. from feeling embarrassed, from being judged. her walls were there to stop her from letting people into her lonely, lonely life. but today she had to take them down, show people how sorry she was, for everything.

shit! she thought suddenly. school starts in 15 minutes! cheryl ran down the stairs and into the kitchen. she grabbed a bagel and quickly put it in the toaster. she grabbed a glass and poured milk into it. she gulped it down and took her bagel. she put on her jacket and grabbed her bag, which she had thankfully filled with school supplies the day before. she ran into the living room to get her shoes. her mom was sitting there, reading a newspaper. cheryl stopped and her anxiety grew. thank god her mom ignored her, because cheryl wouldn't have been able to get through the day without having a panic attack if she had. cheryl put on her shoes and raced out the door.
