It was a Monday morning and Cheryl sluggishly walked into to class. She hated Monday mornings and she hadn't had coffee yet so she was feeling pretty shit. Cheryl had psychology first with Toni. They hadn't spoke since their little moment in the bathroom which happened the week before. She didn't know what to expect. Was Toni just gonna ignore her like usual? Would they talk? Would the conversation flow or would it be awkward?

All these questions went round and round in Cheryl's mind. She was a huge over thinker so this situation wasn't any different. As she walked into class she saw Toni, sat, headphones in as usual. She walked over to her desk and put her books down like she did every lesson. This time however was different. Usually Toni wouldn't look up or even react at all when Cheryl came in but today she looked up and smiled. Cheryl smiled back and sat down. She got out her phone and replied to a few snapchat's before the teacher arrived and started the lesson.

The class had been given a practice exam paper to work through quietly for the last 20 minutes of the lesson. The girls hadn't exchange any words but to be fair, the whole class was quiet because the teacher was talking. As Cheryl raced through the paper finding the questions easy, she noticed Toni had been on question 8 for a really long time. "I don't mean to be rude or anything but erm...do you need any help?" Cheryl asked politely but quietly not wanting anyone else around to hear her being genuinely nice. "I just don't get what it's even asking me to write about" Toni replied with a sigh moving her paper closer towards Cheryl so she could read the question again. Cheryl knew the answer straight away but she didn't wanna act like it was easy. She helped her find out the information needed for the question without telling her the actual answer. Cheryl had tutored middle schoolers in the past, so she was good at helping people with work.

Toni thanked her and wrote in her answer. "Your smart huh?" Toni said smiling as she put her pen down and adjusted her position on her chair to be facing Cheryl. "Not really. I just study a lot" Cheryl answered not wanting to make herself seem big headed. "you might have to tutor me" Toni asked looking down at all the uncompleted work she had to do. "I'd be happy to" Cheryl replied kindly as she packed up her things.

Cheryl lay on her huge four poster bed twiddling with her hands. She was so bored but she had no plans. Veronica and Betty were busy and she didn't really care about anyone else. Her music played quietly in the background of her room as she lay wondering what she could do to pass time. As she wondered her phone pinged. She picked it up and saw it was a text message off a random number. "Still up for tutoring?" it said with nothing else. Cheryl was confused and she had no idea who it was. "sorry who is this" she replied. The three dots popped up on the bottom of the screen straight away and a reply came through, "oh it's Toni" it read. 'Ahhh' Cheryl thought to herself. It was a Friday night and she had no other plans so she agreed to help Toni with her psychology essay. It was due in on Monday morning and Toni hadn't even started it. Cheryl has finished hers and already handed it in of course.

Toni walked up to the door of Cheryl's huge house. She'd never seen anything so big. She looked around sneakily as she waited for the door to be answered and as she did she realised how rich Cheryl and her family actually were. "Hi" Cheryl said with a smile as she opened the door. "Hey" Toni replied stepping inside. The house was even more extra inside and Toni was in awe. "Dude you house is fucking crazy" she said to Cheryl looking around "but in a good way" she finished. "I'll show you around" Cheryl said to which Toni replied with an excited smile.

"...and this is my room" Cheryl said walking in and turning on the few lamps she had around her room. Toni walked in a looked around. "Wow" she said. The room was just Cheryl down to a T. Everything about it was so extra yet so classy. Cheryl sat down on her bed and patted it to gesture Toni to sit down. She opened up her laptop and typed in her password. "So what do you actually need help with?" Cheryl asked as Toni took her laptop out of her bag. "just everything" she said to which Cheryl giggled. "great" she replied sarcastically.
