The nerd and The HBIC

4💚

Cheryl's POV

I woke up, did my morning routine, then my dad dropped me off at school.

"Later dad!" I said. He waved, pulling away.

It's day 2 of tutoring Toni. She did a good job yesterday.

I seem Veronica. "Hey, Ronnie. Where Betts?" I asked.

"She's staying out today. She caught the flu. She couldn't text you because she was to sick." She explained.

"Oh okay. I hope she feels better." I smiled.

"Me too." She said, " So. How's tutoring the devil herself?" She asked.

"It's okay. She's not that bad." I said.  She nodded.

The bell ranged. She waved walking off.

I had a spare first so I just took that time to go to the school's library to catch up so some homework.

I took out my textbooks, starting to work.

I felt someone come sit next to me. Yep, Toni.

"Hey, Blossom, got some time?" She asked.

I finished the rest of the work.

"I um. I uh, I guess. How can I help you?" I asked timidly.

"I need help with this equation." She placed the paper in front of me.

I sighed, looking over the paper. Everything seemed good.

"Nothings wrong. You're a fast learner." I said. She nodded.

"Later nerd." She caught up with her friends. She dropped her book.

After school
Toni's POV

I walked up to Jughead. He had a grin on his stupid face.

"No," I said before he could say anything. He chuckled.

"Ya know, instead of totally calling her a nerd, try calling her by her name." jughead Suggested.

"Are you kidding me? I would literally give in if I called her by her name. I'm not trying to turn soft." I objected. He back away slowly, putting his hands up in surrender. He smiled turning away from me, walking away.

I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was Cheryl.

"Uh. You dropped your book..." She stammered. There were people in the hallway, I couldn't let them see me with her.

"You freak! You took my book!" I yelled. Cheryl looked up and shook her head 'no'

"N-no I didn't-" I cut her off by snatching the book out her hand.

"Cheryl Blossom is a creep! She took my notebook!" I told the whole hallway full of people.

Everyone started pointing and laughing at her. I had to force myself to laugh.

"Hey!" Betty walked up to us, " what's going on here?" She asked.

"Cheryl here took my book," I smirked. Betty rolled her eyes.

"Come on Cheryl. We don't need any more drama." She pulled Cheryl away. She wiped some tears off her face.

"Hey, Toni!" I turned around before I knew it I was bleeding from my nose, Veronica standing there.

"Don't mess with her again!" She yelled.

Mr. Weatherbee pulled us into his office.

"This is the 3rd time Mrs lodge. I can't tolerate you punching people." Mr. Weatherbee warned.

"Well, she was bullying my best friend. I don't tolerate that." She replied.

Mr. Weatherbee looked over at me. Uh oh here comes the lecture.

"What happened Toni?" He asked.

"Well, Cheryl came to me to tell me I dropped my book. I told her she stole it. She said she didn't. Then she started crying." I half lied. He nodded.

"Veronica you're suspended again! And Toni you have detention. Also more tutoring sessions." He punished. I sighed.

"What?! She gets detention, for bullying but I get suspended for punching someone. Fuck off!" She objected, walking out the room.

"Now Mrs. Topaz. You and Mrs blossom have to work something out now that I gave you more study sessions. You are dismissed." He said, handing me a detention slip.

I sighed, holding the ice pack on my bruised nose. My eye black and purple.

"It never gave." I sighed, walking into the detention room. I couldn't even go to my classes all day. I had to stay in this room until I had my tutoring lesson with Cheryl.

Cheryl. Pretty face, plump kissable lips, eyes that will make you do anything she asks you to, beautiful red hair, the prettiest smile I've ever seen. [Fr tho have you seen that smile?], her hands look soft and holdable, adorable personality. The list could go on.

I just sat down in the classroom, the teacher giving me jobs around the classroom to do.

End of the day
Cheryl's POV

"Are you sure you'll be okay tutoring her today?" Betty and Veronica asked me.

"Yes. And Veronica aren't you suspended?" I asked. She nodded, " I'm just here because I want to be." She shrugged. I nodded.

"Okay. Well, we'll see you later. Love you." Betty said. Veronica nodding along with her.

"Love you too." I smiled. They walked away.

I sat down in the classroom waiting for Toni.

15 minutes later she walked in. When Veronica said that she handled it I didn't know she hit her.

"Let's just get this over with nerd." She sighed, taking out her math books.

I nodded. She pointed to what she needed help with.

"2 to the power of 5 times 2 to the power of 7. You keep the base which is?" I said.

"2." She replied. I nodded. "Then you multiply the exponent which would be, 3 × 7?" She said in question.

"Yep." I smiled. She was getting the hang of it.

"Ok, so it would be 2 to the power of 21?" She asked. I nodded. She smiled, writing the answer down.

"Keep going. Just tell me if you need help." I said. She just nodded.

I looked down at my hands, playing with the ring my mom gave me before she died.

"So for this one, do I multiply or divide the exponent since it's in fraction form?" She asked.

I looked at the equation, I nodded, "divide"

Toni nodded, her eyes fell to my lips then back to my eyes. I blushed.

She went back to work.

What was that about?
