5| Hanging out

Cheryl's POV

I thought Toni and I would be going straight to Thornhill after we left Sweetwater river. So I wasn't expecting for her to stop the motorcycle at Pops. I didn't mind though because it had started to rain.

We ran into Pops and then ordered what we wanted. We then picked a booth to sit down at.

"I thought we'd be going straight to Thornhill."

"Well the rain is getting heavier and I don't want us to get sick. Plus when we were at lunch neither of us actually ate anything." Toni reasoned.

"Yeah you're right, and I am hungry." I giggled.

"Well this works out then! We'll eat while the rain passes a bit and then we'll go to your house."

"Sounds good to me." I smiled.

Pop Tate then brought out our food and we began to eat our late lunch.

Toni's POV

"Okay there's a break in the rain but it's about to get bad again. So we need to go." I explained as I checked the weather on my phone.

"Okay." Cheryl said as she finished her cherry milkshake.

We payed for our food and then we got back on my motorcycle. I followed the directions Cheryl was giving me to her house until we finally approached the gates of a large estate.

"Holy shit! You live here?!" I asked amazed as she put in a code on the keypad next to the gate.

"Yup."

I drove down the long driveway that was practically it's own road. After a minute or two we pulled up to the front door and I parked the bike.

"This place is massive!" I said as we walked up the steps to the front door.

"Yeah, I know." Cheryl giggled at my amazement.

Cheryl opened the door and let me walk in before her. I continued to look around the beautiful mansion.

"There you are, Cheryl!" A woman came from the living room to greet us. "I was wondering when you'd be back home."

"Hello, Mom. I meant to be home sooner, sorry for worrying you." Cheryl apologized.

"It's fine dear. Are you feeling better?"

"Yes ma'am. I was having an off day and I just needed to leave school."

"Well I'm glad you're doing better now." Cheryl's mother smiled. She then turned and saw me. "Cheryl why don't you introduce me to your friend?"

"Hello Mrs. Blossom." I smiled as I extended my hand. "I'm Toni Topaz."

"It's nice to meet you, honey. Cheryl never brings any friends over so it's nice to finally meet one of them!" Cheryl's mother smiled excitedly.

"It's nice to meet you too."

"Hey, Mom? Would it be okay if Toni and I go hang out in my room?" Cheryl asked.

"Yeah of course! You two have fun." Mrs. Blossom smiled and left the room.

"Come on, Tee-Tee." Cheryl said as she took my hand and led me up the stairs.

We walked up to a door that had a red cursive 'C' on the front, indicating that this was the door to Cheryl's room. Cheryl opened the door and we walked in.

"You sure hate the color red." I said sarcastically causing Cheryl to giggle.

Just one look at Cheryl's room and you could tell she adored red. The wall color was separated in half. The bottom half being red and the top half was a wallpaper that was white with red flowers scattered all over it. Her bed was a simple white and had a large red comforter and red pillows. There were also sheer red curtains on her window along with other red accents throughout the room.
