We walk in the classroom and Cheryl is in there. But I noticed something. The seat next to her is empty. I went to go sit next to her but when I sat down everyone gasped. Weird.

"Hey" i whispered. She turned her head and looked at me weird like she saw a piece of poop on her red expensive shoes. "Who are you? She says. "I'm a new girl. My name is Toni. Toni Topaz" I say.

"Hey Toni" she says looking down. Woah she looks....sad. "You okay Cheryl? I say. "Can we meet somewhere to talk instead" she says. "Free period. Bathroom? I say. "Sure" she says.

The rest of the day has been a breeze. I told Veronica about the whole Cheryl thing and she thinks I can actually break her. She said she wasn't supposed to tell me but she had a gf named Heather and her mom found out and threw her out of town. She said her mother is abusive and she comes to her house sometimes because her mom is a prostitute.

She lived a pretty awful life I thought. Free period came by and I see Cheryl in the mirror fixing her red lipgloss. "So you never told me about yourself" I say. "I know. I didn't want too" she says. "Why? I say. "That's right, your new here. You probably already know my name but my name Cheryl Blossom aka Cheryl Bombshell which means I need no reason, I simply am. Feel free to tremble" she says thinking she scared me.

I moved closer and she looked at me. "How about you tell me what's bothering you, because clearly you're in a lot of pain" I say putting my hand on her arm. "Get your sapphic hands off my body" She says slapping my hand off and walking away. Wowzers that was so hot.

I walk in lunch with Veronica and she sits down. I cautiously sat down next to her. "So, how was the encounter with the "Bombshell" herself? She says. "Oh nothing really, except the fact that when I said she could trust me, she like ran off" I said. She was about to say something when Archie and I think Betty and Jughead come to the table. "Who's this?" I think Betty says. "I'm Toni. Toni Topaz. I'm new here" I say smiling. Jughead looks at me.

"Hey Toni you look strong and we really need some females in my gang. Called The Serpents" I thought about it for a minute. If they see me heal they might get scared. Even worse. Call the SHRF. I mean it all cant be about fighting right? "Sure why not"

"There's only one thing you might not like" Jughead says. "What?" I say kinda getting worried. "So there's an initiation for the girls for when you join the serpents...kinda like you dance on a pole in front of 80-year-old guys" "oh...thats fine I guess"

"By the way I'm Betty. That's Jughead as you probably know. That's Veronica which I know you know and that's Archie" She finishes. A boy with brown hair comes to the table and casually sits next to me.

"Oh and that's Kevin she says" "OMG I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE YOU THERE. HI MY NAME IS KEVIN AND IM GAY AND HAPPILY WITH MY BF FANGS" He says yelling. "Oh my. You're a loud one" I say. I'm bout to say something but Cheryl comes over and sits down with a smile. Gosh, such a pretty smile.

"Hey everyone" Cheryl says all happy. "Hiii" everyone says with groans. "I'm doing cheerleading tryouts and of course none you guys will make it because I'm cheer captain and I will choose who gets in" she says with a smile. "Is being cheer captain still a thing?" Kevin says all of us regretting he said it.

"Is being the gay best friend still a thing?" She says with an attitude. That was rude. "Hey Cheryl, don't be so mean all the time" I say calmly. "I'm sorry did you have a lobotomy for breakfast?" Cheryl says.

The fuck did she say. "A What?" I say confused "Oh that's right you're too dumb to know what I said. Hmm Better carry a dictionary" And she walks off. "Thanks for sticking up for me Toni" Kevin says. "Don't worry about her. She doesn't scare me." I say. I've been through worse.
