remember to wait in the front of the school for her. cheryl thought as the bell rang, dismissing them from their classes. today she was going to veronica's house. she hadn't been to someone else's house in forever. like not in 5 years. that sounded weird, and kinda depressing. she HAD gone to someone else's house a little while ago, because they were holding a party and her mom had been invited, so she had to go. she had also babysat for lots of little kids, but none of those events counted for what cheryl meant. she meant like going over to someone her age's house, just because they wanted to. cheryl rushed to the front of the school, hoping that veronica would already be there. she wasn't.
cheryl waited for 5 minutes, then 10. just as cheryl thought that 20 minutes had gone by she looked at the time on her phone. 3:05. what the fuck?! cheryl thought. she could've sworn almost an hour had gone by! maybe she was just paranoid. she was nervous, not wanting to mess up this friendship she had with veronica. cheryl shook her head. they weren't friends yet. they had only been talking for like 2 days. maybe they could be considered friends now though, if they both liked talking and hanging out with each other. cheryl didn't know what to call them, it had been so long since she had had any friends at all. stop thinking about that, it's only going to make you sad. she took a deep breath and looked around for veronica. nope. not here yet.
cheryl tried to shake off her growing anxiety. she's going to come, don't worry. cheryl told herself over and over. don't worry, she'll be here. she told herself to chill her socks, that veronica wouldn't stand her up, that everything would be fine. she looked at the clock again. 3:10. face it, cheryl. she's not coming. she probably heard about you and your personality. now she's leaving. like everyone else. cheryl could feel the tears forming under her eyes. she looked around one more time, wiped away the tears, and started down the stairs.
"cheryl?" a voice said from behind. cheryl whipped around, completely surprised. veronica. she sighed in relief.
"ronnie!" cheryl exclaimed, probably looking more relieved than she should.
"wow, you look happy to see me. don't worry, i didn't stand you up." veronica smiled. it took cheryl a moment to realize this was a joke and veronica hadn't just read her mind. she laughed, even though it was a bit late.
"sorry it took so long, my math teacher had to like make sure i had all the homework and stuff." they started walking to veronica's house.
"its fine, but next time come faster young lady!! i started to worry!" veronica laughed, and linked her arm with cheryl's.
"young lady?" she asked. "whens your birthday?"
"august 18th." cheryl said.
{this is not her actual birthday this is the actress who plays her's birthday so yeah}
"HA! my birthday is june 29th so I WIN." veronica said proudly. {again, not her real birthday}
"win what? there was no competition." cheryl unlinked their arms crossed hers.
"well yeah but you called me young lady but i'm older than you so you were WRONG."
"should i call you old lady then?" cheryl asked.
"of course my child."
"very well mother." cheryl smiled and veronica re-linked their arms, marching them down the block, towards her house. cheryl was relieved the awkwardness was fading away, she would've mentally thrown herself off a building if it hadn't.
"how far is your house?" cheryl asked.
"not far. we're almost there." veronica continued to pull cheryl down the block.
"well we better get there soon. i hate walking." cheryl whined.
"don't you fret my young child, we'll be there in a jiffy." cheryl laughed at that, but continued to complain the whole way there.
"are we there yettttttt?" she asked, stumbling on the sidewalk. veronica stopped in front of a big house.
"yep." she stared up at it.
"THAT'S YOUR HOUSE??" cheryl asked, eyes widening. "it's so BIG! i should know. my house is pretty big too but YOURS, it's like a giant!!" she exclaimed. veronica pulled her inside.
"come come, cher. imma show you my family."
