When I Met You | CHONI |

Chapter 4

Mr Weatherbee told the girls to sit as he shut the office door. 'What on earth is going on' he questioned. Toni spoke up first 'Princess here thinks she is better than us, she doesn't want us at this school, we was minding our own business before she came over looking for a fight'.
Cheryl rolled her eyes 'They don't belong here, the school doesn't need underachievers and thieves'. Toni just scoffed. 'Yano we just want a decent education we've never done anything to have you hate us so much, you don't even know me'.
Cheryl just looked away with her arms crossed, Toni was right, she only knew what her parents had to say about the Southside and that they thought they was criminals.
The office was silent until Weatherbee breathed out 'Detention for you both for the rest of the week, anymore interruptions from the two of you and we will have to call in your parents'. Cheryl didn't want that, her parents were already strict with her as it was if they found out she was in trouble at school her home life would be even more insufferable. Toni didn't seem to care though 'can I go now' she said.
'You may both leave but remember what I said. Oh and you will be serving detention together'. Cheryl just got out of her seat and left, Toni following.

The rest of the school day dragged for both girls knowing that they have an hours detention. Jason waits outside for Cheryl after the last bell for a ride home she tells him that she has detention all week and begs him not to tell their parents. Jason would never do that, he knows his parents treat Cheryl differently, he would do anything to protect her. She smiles at him as she makes her way to the principals office.

Toni is already waiting outside the door, she doesn't even acknowledge Cheryl. It's strange for Cheryl though she's used to people being afraid of her and Toni just couldn't care less, she secretly liked it although she'd never admit it. Mr Weatherbee came out and lead them to an empty classroom 'you'll spend your detention in here for the week, come to my office when your hour is up, catch up on any work you have, and maybe try and resolve your differences. Without arguing or fighting' and with that he left.

Cheryl huffed out loud and made her way to a desk, Toni did the same but at the opposite end of the class. Toni pulled out some books, this surprised Cheryl, she didn't expect the serpent to actually want to do any school work. As Toni was pulling books from her bag she also pulled out a camera, again this peaked Cheryl's interest. Toni looked up and caught Cheryl watching 'what?'. Cheryl just looked back at her phone. Toni looked at Cheryl confused, she expected a sarcastic reply but was met with silence.

The hour went quicker than expected. Cheryl was the first one up and out of the classroom without a word. Toni placed all her belongings in her bag and made her way to Mr Weatherbees office. Once she had done that she made her way to her motorcycle. She put on her helmet and made her way home.

As she was riding down the road she noticed a certain redhead walking down the street alone. She slowed down and stopped next to the girl taking off her helmet. Cheryl jumped, she had her earphones in so she didn't hear Toni pull up. 'So are you stalking me now?' Cheryl snapped. 'Erm no, I just saw you walking alone and wondered if you wanted a ride?'
Cheryl flinched internally, why was Toni being nice to her? Was it a trick, she had been mean to her from the minute she had arrived at Riverdale High. 'Hello' Toni said pulling Cheryl from her thoughts.
A phone ringing interrupted them, it was Cheryl's parents 'Hi Daddy I'm on my way home... yes I know I'm late, I'm sorry'. The phone hung up, Cheryl looked at Toni 'I've got to go' and with that she turned to rush home. Toni put back on her helmet and made her way home to her trailer thinking about Cheryl the whole way.
