No ones POV
Cheryl wakes up every morning and does the same routine. Wake up, take a shower, eat breakfast, get dressed, brush teeth, drive to school. Her mother gave her a Tesla because she wants her daughter to be as safe as possible, she's been like that since her father and brother died.
Cheryl arrived at school and parked like usual. Her friends Betty, Jughead and Kevin came running up to the car "I win!!" Betty says "What no you don't" Jughead says out of breath "I definitely won" Kevin tells them "Who won Cheryl?" Betty asks opening the passenger door and sitting down "I won, I was here first" Cheryl said and her friends sighed "She's not wrong" Jughead laughs "Everyone ready you go inside?" Kevin asks grabbing Cheryl's back pack out the trunk for her "Ready to enter hell" Cheryl says sarcastically "Ready as I'll ever be" Jughead sighed. Jughead was friends with everyone, he is friends with Kevin, Betty and Cheryl. He is friends with the basketball players and the football players and cheerleaders and just everyone. They walk into school and go to their first class, which for Cheryl she hates because it's full of jerks and jocks.
She enters the class and sits in the front desk, each table has two chairs but she usually sits alone. "Hey nerd" The football captain says sitting on the table and Cheryl looks up "What?" She asks harshly "Let me see your homework I know you did it" He says "I did but you're not getting it" she tells him and he scoffs "Give me the work Blossom before the teacher comes in" He says getting worried he's not going to get the work "You should have done it then" A voice said from behind the jock/jerk "Get off the table" Toni says and the boy gets off the table and sits down at his seat "Thanks" Cheryl mumbled "No problem" Toni smiles nicely and sits behind the redhead with her friends.

It's lunch time and the four friends are sitting at their lunch table "Hey does anyone here want to join the theatre?" Ethel Muggs asks "No we're good" Jughead says "Oh come on Jughead, we need new members" Kevin says "It's fun" Ethel adds "Still a no" Jughead says "Cheryl?" Ethel says and Kevin grabs the girl's arm "Sounds like a musical cult so I'll pass" Cheryl says and makes Betty and Jughead laugh. "Fine" Ethel says and moves to the next table. "Cheryl want to be partners in science?" Betty asks "No I wanted to be her partner" Kevin whined "I'm Cheryl's partner" Jughead adds "Your not even in the class" Cheryl says "I wanted to be included" he tells them "Well I'm Cheryl's partner" Betty tells them "How about we ask the teacher if we can all be partners" Cheryl suggests, Betty and Kevin glare at each other then agree.
They got to their science class "Ma'am can we all work together as partners?" Kevin asks the teacher "It's a four person project so yes but find another partner" The teach told them, they shared similar glances then sat down at the table in the back of the room "So we will get whoever is left?" Cheryl asks and Betty nods "Pretty much" she says. The three teens were talking until Toni walked up to their table "Hey" Toni says smiling "Hi?" Kevin says more as a question "Do you have a fourth partner?" Toni asks "No" Betty responds "Well can I be y'alls partner?" Toni asks before they could answer she already sat down at the empty chair beside Cheryl "I guess" Kevin says looking at his two friends who look back at him "Why aren't you partners with your friends?" Cheryl asks "Oh Uhh" Toni was thinking of what she was going to say "If I fail this class then I'll be kicked off the basketball team and you" she points at Cheryl "are my only hope at passing" Toni tells them. The three teens thought that was the reason but didn't think Toni would actually say it to their faces. "Oh...ok" Cheryl says quietly. They exchanged phone numbers then made a group chat "So when are we hanging out?" Toni asks "Hanging out?" Betty asks "Like work on the project outside of school" Toni says "Oh um today if that's okay with y'all" Cheryl says "Yea that's good" Betty tells her and Kevin nods "I have practice after school until 6 but after that I'm free" Toni smiles and Cheryl smiles back. Toni's friends/the football and basketball team came up to them "Hey babe, why aren't you our partner?" A jock with a varsity jacket on asks "I told you to stop calling me babe" Toni tells the boy "Baby don't do that" the boy says rubbing her arm but she hits his hand down "What don't you get dude. I am gay. I like girls. I like pussy" Toni tells him "Yes!!" Kevin says loudly and everyone looks at him "What? Another gay" He says "What about Cheryl?" Betty asks "She doesn't count" he says and Cheryl shakes her head "Fine one day you will want me" the boy says going back to his table. "Everyone please pay attention. I'll be handing out report cards today, don't let anyone see them" The teacher said passing out the grades. Cheryl's table gets their grades "What did you get?" Betty asks Kevin "98" he says putting his paper in his bag "I got a 97" Betty says "Ha one point higher" Kevin teases and Betty hits his arm "I got a 100" Cheryl says "We know that's why we didn't ask" Kevin laughs "What about you?" Kevin asks looking at Toni "Like she said keep it a secret" Toni says getting up and leaving the classroom. "Do you think she really did that bad?" Kevin asks his friends "She's partners with us so I'm going to say yes" Betty laughs "Yea what other reason would she willingly want to hang out with us for?" Cheryl says "Good point" Kevin agrees and they leave the classroom, catching up with Jughead. They're walking down the hall to the parking lot when Toni came out the bathroom with a sports bra and basketball shorts on, Cheryl stared until Toni put her shirt on "Stare much?" Kevin smirks "What? No" Cheryl says defensively "Remember she needs to pass the class...that's it" Betty reminds her "Harsh" Jughead says "I just don't want her to get hurt again" Betty says and Cheryl nods "Thanks cousin" Cheryl sighs "I'll see you two at 5:30 and Toni at 6:30" Cheryl said running to her car since the football boys were outside about to start practice.

It's 6:00 now, Betty and Kevin are at Cheryl's house now they are waiting on Toni "Do you think she will actually come?" Cheryl asks "Hopefully" Kevin says "And hopefully not coming with a bunch of people to throw a party" Betty says "She wouldn't do that" Cheryl says "You never know" Betty says. They wait another 10 minutes then they hear a knock on the door "I'll get it" Kevin says opening the door "Hey sorry I'm late I had to shower" Toni tells the boy, her hair is damp but still looks nice and she is dressed in sweatpants and a shirt with the sleeves ripped off. "Toni is here" Kevin yells and the two girls run downstairs "Hey" Betty says laughing "Give it back!!!" Cheryl yells "What did she take?" Kevin asks "My fucking shirt" Cheryl sighed. Toni and Kevin laugh at the two girls "How did she take your shirt?" Toni asks laughing "I was changing into something comfortable and she ran off with the shirt" Cheryl whined. Betty was holding the shirt away from the redhead so Toni snatched it out the blondes hand and handed it to the redhead "Thank you" Cheryl said out of breath, putting on her shirt "Welcome" Toni smiles and they look in each other's eyes "Awkward...Lets start the project" Kevin laughs making the two girls look away from each other. Toni puts her backpack down and takes her stuff out her bag "Wheres the bathroom?" Toni asks "Down the hall to the left" Cheryl says and Toni leaves. "Hey Toni!! Can I grab your notebook out your bag!!?" Cheryl yells "Yea!!" Toni yells back. Cheryl grabs the girl's notebook and a paper falls out, she picks the paper up. It's her report card "Look" Cheryl says and the two teens come sit beside her "What?" Kevin asks "She said she needed us to pass but she has a 100" Cheryl says showing them the paper "So why does she actually want to be our partner?" Betty asks "I don't know" Cheryl says "Should we ask?" Kevin asks "I'll ask" Cheryl says. They all sit back down in their seats, Toni comes back "You have a nice house Cheryl" Toni smiles "Thanks" Cheryl smiles back, they do that thing again where to just look at each other "Cheryl!!" Betty says "Oh uh sorry" Cheryl stopes looking at Toni "Why did you say you were failing when you have a 100 in science and all your other classes" Cheryl says "You looked through my stuff?" Toni asks "No, I was getting your notebook and the paper flew out" Cheryl told her "I'm always partners with people who don't do anything and I end up doing all the work and they get credit for it. So I thought I'd work with people who will help" Toni says truthfully "You could of just said that" Betty says "I'm sorry. Can we just start the project?" Toni asks and they all agree and start working.
"Hey people!!" Jughead says coming through the door "What are you doing here?" Cheryl asks "Came to pick up Betty" He says "Well come sit we have to finish this section real quick" Cheryl tells the boy and he sits down "Hey you're finally hanging out with people who aren't sport players" Jughead teases "Shut up" Toni says "These are your people" Jughead says and Toni looks up and looks around at everyone who is working, she stops on Cheryl "Yea they're pretty cool" Toni smiles.
"Bye" Cheryl says closing the door after everyone left "Are they gone" Penelope asks "Yes mom. You didn't have to hide" Cheryl laughs "Well you were having a new person over so I wanted to give you space" she says "So is she nice or is she a jerk?" Penelope asks her daughter "She's nice, she's not what I expected. She's smart, talented and her smile lights up the room" Cheryl says daydreaming "Looks like someone has a crush" Her mom smiles "Do not" Cheryl whines "Okay" Penelope laughs and hugs her daughter "Go get ready for bed it's getting late" she says kissing her daughters forehead.
