Toni's POV

I looked over at Cheryl as we got off my motorcycle in the parking lot outside Pops. She looked so nervous and anxious as she began to play with her hands.

"It's going to be okay, Cher." I smiled as I put my hand on her shoulder.

"I know. I trust you and I know you'd never put me in a bad situation." She smiled back warmly. "I-I just don't talk to many people at school, a-and I'm scared about how it's going to go." She then admitted.

"I know, but I promise they're nice and you'll love them!"

"Okay." She said with a calm nod as she got up off the bike so we could walk in.

We walked into Pops and noticed that everyone was already there waiting for us in a booth. Kevin, Josie, and Jellybean were on one side of the booth and Fangs was alone on the other, saving room for Cheryl and I.

"Hey guys!" I beamed as we sat down.

"Hey, Toni!" They all smiled back. Then they look at Cheryl.

"Oh hello! You must be Cheryl!" Kevin smiled at her and she nervously pushed her glasses further up her nose.

"Y-Yeah. I-I am." She stuttered.

"You don't need to be nervous." Jellybean reassured her.

"Yeah we don't bite." Fangs teased.

"Says the guy named Fangs." Josie chuckled.

"And I'm sure that's a lie anyways, considering that you're always sucking on Kevin's neck." Jellybean added, causing all of us to laugh.

"That was totally uncalled for, Freshie!" Fangs laughed.

"Freshie?" Cheryl asked confusedly.

"Their nickname for me since I'm a freshman, but I prefer to be called JB." Jellybean explained as she extended her hand for Cheryl to shake.

"Nice to meet you." Cheryl shook JB's hand.

"Now everyone else needs to introduce themselves." I explained.

"I'm Josie." She waved happily.

"Fangs, if you didn't catch that already."

"And I'm Kevin. And by JB's little comment, you probably figured out that I'm Fangs' boyfriend." Kevin finished off.

"Yeah." Cheryl giggled. "It's nice to meet you all."

Pop Tate then came to get our food orders. Once we all ordered, my friends began to chat with Cheryl.

"So, Cheryl." Fangs smiled. "Tell us a little about yourself."

"Oh. Well there's not much to tell."

"Well, don't you have a brother?" Kevin asked.

"Yeah, his name is Jason and we're twins."

"Oh yeah! Isn't he on the football team and dating Veronica Lodge?" Josie asked.

"Yes he is. For both of those. He and Veronica have been together for the last 3 years." She answered quietly.

"Jeez I'm sorry about that." JB said.

"Huh?" We all asked her confusedly.

"About Veronica dating her brother."

"But why is that bad?" Kevin asked.

"Because Veronica is a bitch. She acts like a fucking angel when everyone can see, but if she doesn't like you then she bullies you when no ones around." She explained and Cheryl and I looked at each other for a moment.
