ch four: toni's first day

A/N: so i think i've decided that i'm going to do every chapter with a dif POV (ex: this is toni's, next will be cheryl's. i will also be putting different characters POV in here eventually as well. probably veronica before anyone else!) anyways, enjoy.

"are you nervous, toni?" sweet pea asks, trying to forget about his own nerves.
toni chuckled, "very,"
"yeah? me too, but we'll get through it." sweet pea told his best friend, a warm smile on his face.
"i know we will," toni replies, "you, fangs and i? we can do anything."
"damn straight!" fangs chimes in.
the smile on the faces of the teens leave as they arrive to their new school. the school that is located in the north side, where serpents like them are hated. but that's fine, toni tells herself.
-
"antoinette topaz?" a woman in the office of riverdale high says, "yeah? that's me." toni says back simply.
"here's your schedule. and this is veronica lodge, she will be showing you around the school."
toni nods, looking at the girl standing next to the office worker. toni immediately smiles, "thanks, have a nice day miss!"
-
"so," veronica starts, "what's your story?"
toni turns her head, confused, "elaborate?"
"well, you don't look like you're from here. here being the northside. so...are you a southsider?" veronica asks in what toni assumes is supposed to be in a polite way.
"i live and reside in the northside. i go to school in the northside. just because i was born in the southside doesn't mean shit, veronica," toni snapped, not fully knowing why.
"i know," veronica said softly, "i didn't mean to offend you."
toni just smiled lightly.
"well..here's your first class toni. if you need anymore help just let me know. i'll see you later?"
toni nods and waves, "bye, veronica. thanks for showing me around."

as soon as toni walks into her first period class, she spots the red hair she's been dying to see since the previous weekend.
"um, hi miss. my name is ton- antoinette, i'm new?"
"is that a question or a statement, miss topaz?" the teacher scolds.
"statement, for sure," toni says back, a bit goofily.
"here's the syllabus, antoinette. you'd do good to read this thoroughly and before class ends. you may sit wherever you'd like," the teacher, miss wellks rudely states.
toni walks towards the red haired beauty, smirking lightly.
"what the hell are you doing, antoinette?" cheryl hisses quietly, "why i'm just keeping you company, gorgeous," toni replies slyly.
cheryl blushes slightly, "if i didn't know any better, i'd say you're flirting with me right now,"
"and what if i am?"
"well, if you are, i'd say...don't, antoinette. keep your south side ass on the side of the tracks you were born on, thanks!"
"ah, i see. well if that's the case i'll just go sit somewhere else," toni says sadly, she genuinely finds cheryl interesting and yet...cheryl shuts her down without a second thought? why?
miss wellks looks at us and says, "cheryl, antoinette. you have anything you'd like to share with the class?"
"no," cheryl and toni reply at the same time.
"then i suggest you be quiet. do your work or don't for all i care, just don't disturb other students,"
"okay, sorry ma'am," toni shyly tells her, embarrassed that all of the attention in the room is now on her and cheryl.
"right, sorry miss," cheryl tells miss wellks, who smiles slightly and get backs to reading whatever the hell is in her hand at the moment.
"so, i guess i'm not moving. looks like you're stuck with me, red," toni tells cheryl, who replies with an eye roll.
