The nerd and The HBIC

7❤

Cheryl's POV

"Dad, I promise you she won't bother me while we are alone. She never does, besides her calling me a nerd, but it doesn't bother me." I told my father.

He was Panicking because he thinks Toni will bother me. I reassured him so many times but he's not buying it.

"Okay. Okay, if she does anything you don't like call me, I'll be in my private study. Keep the door open, please." He said. I nodded.

The doorbell ranged.

Toni's POV

"Hey, come on in." Cheryl smile. I just nodded.

Don't show any kindness

Her beautiful smile dropped. I dropped my book accidentally, she went to pick it up at the same time as me, our hands grazed past each other. I jumped back, feeling like I was just electrocuted.

She picked it up, handing it to me.

"Thanks," I mumbled. She nodded.

She leads me to her private study. Her house is big as fuck. Damn blossom rich rich.

"So what are we working on today?" She asked, pulling out some notes.

You can like who you want to like

Aiden's voice ran through my mind.

I actually didn't come here to study. I was here to confess my feelings. I had to make up a lie quick.

"Negative and positive slopes." I blurted out. She looked at me then shrugged.

"Okay. Come over here, I'll teach you." She smiled, patting the seat next to her. I hesitated but quickly went to sit next to her.

A bit to close to be exact, Cheryl blushed as my hand accidentally touched hers.

I looked down. She cleared her throat.

"Okay. So, positive slopes are easy to identify, so we'll work with that first." She smiled.

"Okay," I said.

She clarified the whole slopes thing. I was so scared to even bring up my feelings so I went slow.

"Uh, can I ask you a question?" I asked the girl. She looked up from her textbook.

"Can't believe I'm asking you this, but, I want to come out to my mother and I don't know how..." I lied into a whisper.

Cheryl nodded, pushing her glasses up.

"Well, I uh, I know an if things about coming out to your parents." She smiled. My eyes widened. Aiden was right.

"Oh are you..?" I questioned.

"Yeah. Lesbian." She replied. I wasn't shocked I was shooketh

"Oh cool. I-I have something to confess." I stammered, wiping my sweaty palms on my pants. She raised a brow.

"I-I Ilikeyou" I rushed out. Her face turned beet red.

"Y-you like me?" She asked me shock and fear across her face.

I nodded, looking down, "I've had a crush on you since our first interaction in middle school." I sighed.

7th grade
*Flashback*

"We have a new student, her name is Cheryl Blossom. Please make her feel welcomed." Mr. Mayfields the same math teacher we have now said.

Cheryl came to sit next to me. At that time was questioning my sexuality, so when Cheryl smiled at me  I panicked.

"What are you smiling at lesbo," I said. The whole classroom got quiet.

Veronica came over and moved Cheryl away from me.

That's when I realized I fucking liked Cheryl Blossom.

*end of flashback*

Cheryl looked down, playing with the ring that was on her finger.

I cleared my throat, "I've bullied you because I didn't know how to express my feelings." I explained. "But I want to apologize for my behavior. I pushed you, tripped you, called you all kinds of names. It broke my heart to see you cry over my shitty behavior. I'm so sorry." I rambled.

"It's o-okay Toni." She stammered.

"No. It's not okay. I feel like a shitty person like, I don't deserve your forgiveness." I huffed. Cheryl put her hand in mine, interlacing them.

"Toni, I promise, I forgive you. Life is way too short to even hold grudges." She smiled, giving my hand a reassuring squeeze.

I nodded with a smile.

"I um, I wanted to ask you if you wanted to go on a date with me?" I asked.

"I'd love nothing more." She smiled. My heart jumped for joy.

"So. How about we actually study before my dad pops in." Cheryl laughed. I nodded, scooting closer to her.

I got a date with Cheryl Blossom!
