The Nerd Next Door

(21)

Toni sighed as she and Cheryl walked the streets of New York.

She was kinda nervous to be walking around where she lived, but with Cheryl. She felt a lot safer.

"So, we gonna grab some pizza. I heard of one not to far to walk." Cheryl smiled.

Toni nodded, letting Cheryl lead the way.

They entered the pizza shop to which Toni already regretted when she saw the group of girls she knows so well.

"Hi, Can I get 2 slices. Pepperoni." Cheryl said, pulling out two dollars.

She nodded, taking the money before going to warm up the slices.

"Are you okay?" Cheryl asked, following Toni's gaze.

Her eyes landed on the girl's table as they giggled and talked about nonsense.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"T-Those are the girl's who would bully me back in my old school." Toni whispered.

"I'm about to beat some ass." Cheryl growled.

"No. No, Cher. It's not worth it." Toni soothed.

Cheryl took a deep breath, nodding as she squeezed Toni's side affectionately.

"Well, Well, Well, if it isn't ms. Geeky herself." One of them said as the girls walked up to Toni.

"Yeah, I thought you moved to Riverdale?" One asked.

Toni ignored them.

"Who is she? Your protection?" a voice that Toni knew so well said.

She looked at her former best friend, Kimberly.

Kimberly and Toni were best friends but when she became popular and changed, Toni told her that she couldn't be friends with someone who's gonna follow other's people's footsteps.

"N-No." Toni stammered as Cheryl glared at the girls.

"I'm her girlfriend bitches." Cheryl growled.

They stood, Shocked.

Kimberly's face dropped. She's always wanted Toni for herself.

"Holy shit, and she's sapphic. I'm not even shocked." Kimberly spat.

"Listen here you vipers. My family is the most powerful family in Riverdale. And half of New York, you wouldn't want anything happening to you." Cheryl snapped.

"Oh, I'm so scared." Kimberly laughed making the others too.

"Kimberly, Right? My uncle said that your dad is a nice janitor at his job." Cheryl smirked.

"Wait? Kim, you said your dad was a movie producer." One of the girls said.

Kimberly glared at Cheryl.

"I-I-"

"And you wouldn't want him losing his job since you could nearly afford to eat dinner at night. And don't think that I won't go on because I will." Cheryl smiled sarcastically.

"Also, The fact that you can't even say anything about Toni because your a sapphic yourself... Did you ever think about that?" Cheryl smirked.

Kimberly shook with fear.

"T-That's not true!" She cried.

"Oh please. My dad has EVERY record on all of you. My uncle does also, So I suggest you go before exposing something bigger than this." Cheryl said, pointing between them.

"Toodles!" Cheryl waved, after grabbing their pizza and living.

Toni was filled with shock.

"Holy shit, Cher. H-how did you know all of that stuff?" Toni asked as she took a bit of her pizza.

"I said it. My dad and uncle own half of New York. He has every file on every person on this side of New York." Cheryl giggled.

"Wow. So what does mine say?" Toni asked.

"How hot and cute you are." Cheryl winked.

Toni giggled with a blush.

"Thanks for doing that." Toni nodded.

"It was honestly no problem, baby. I'd walk through fire for you." Cheryl said honestly.

Toni smiled, her heart full.
