When I Met You | CHONI |

Chapter 27

Cheryl slowly opened the door, she stepped out and made her way to the couch expecting Toni to follow her. Cheryl sat down and looked up at her girlfriend waiting for her to explain herself.

Toni remained stood up not knowing what to say, she just played with the sleeve of her jacket rocking from foot to foot. They'd never had a real fight before.
'Why didn't you tell me she was coming Toni?'.
'I'm sorry Cher I didn't think, you said you was alright with us being friends and she accepts that I'm with you so I didn't think it would be a problem since our friends were already here'.
'Toni she's still your ex, I don't know anything about this girl or her intentions, for you I'll tolerate her but if she continues trying to dangle you in my face, I'll show her what Cheryl Blossom is capable of' Cheryl stood up and pushed past Toni and went into their bedroom slamming the door.

Toni threw herself onto the couch while she waited for Cheryl to calm down. She hadn't been on this side of Cheryl since she first moved to Riverdale High. She pulled a blanket over her and unintentionally fell asleep escaping the relationship problems she was having.

After Cheryl slammed the door she plopped on the bed with a huff. She waited to see if Toni would come in to make it right with her but she didn't. After around half an hour Cheryl prepared for bed, she put her phone on charge and wrapped the blankets around her. The bed felt so big and empty without Toni laid next to her but she was stubborn, they both were.

Cheryl was pulled from her sleep by her alarm blaring letting her know it was time to get ready for school. She threw the blanket to the other side of the bed, Toni still not there. Unbelievable Cheryl thought. Quietly opening the bedroom door Cheryl spotted Toni curled up on the couch lightly snoring.
'Toni you need to get up it's time for school' she lightly shook Toni's shoulder. Toni sat up 'Cheryl I'm so sorry about yesterday, I promise I'll never put you in a position like that again'.
'Just keep me in the loop TT, you may be friends with Winter but I want nothing to do with her okay?'.
'I get it babe, come on let's get ready for school' Toni reached for Cheryl to pull her up. She groan as her joints popped into place.

The girls arrived at school after agreeing to put last night behind them. They were hand in hand on their way to their lockers when the speaker interrupted the conversations in the hall.
'Could Antoinette Topaz please come to the principals office'.
'Argh what now' Toni rolled her eyes.
'I'll come with you TT'.
They made their way Principal Weatherbee's office, as Toni was about to knock on the door she noticed a certain someone sat inside. Cheryl looked through the window to see what had got Tonis attention 'I don't think so'. Cheryl opened the door 'what are you doing here?' she asked with her arms crossed over her chest.
'I go here now' Winter smirked.
'Miss Blossom why do you feel the need to attack any new student at my school? And you wasn't called in here so please get to your class. Miss Topaz would you come in please and close the door' Principal Weather waved Toni in.
Cheryl kissed Toni on her way out making sure that Winter was watching.
'What can I do for you Principal?' Toni said.
'This is our new student Winter, she said she knew you and felt comfortable with you so I'd like you to show her the ropes and make her feel welcome'.
'No problem Sir' Toni said standing up 'come on Winter'.
They left the office, Toni worrying about the effect this could have on her relationship with Cheryl. Unfortunately for Toni Winter shared every lesson with her including Art. She knew Cheryl wouldn't be happy about this. She thought about what they spoke about this morning and pulled out her phone.

TT
Weatherbee is making me babysit Winter, she's in every one of my classes. See you at lunch?
Read 8.45am

Cheryl opened her message and sighed, she turned her phone to show Veronica.
'I swear Ronnie I'll run this girl out of this school if she tries anything with my TT' Cheryl sighed.
'I got your back girl' Ronnie replied wrapping a arm around her best friends shoulder. Veronica had missed the fiery side of Cheryl, she had mellowed out a lot since being with Toni but she knew Winter would push her buttons.
'Thanks V' Cheryl smiled. The bell rang indicating for them to go to first period, Cheryl knew she'd be thinking about Toni until she saw her at lunch later on.

The day dragged for both the girls. Cheryl worrying Winter was going to worm her way back in with Toni and Toni was worried Cheryl was mad because she didn't reply to her text. The school bell rang for lunch time and she was hoping to find Toni in the student lounge. She walked arm in arm with Veronica and stopped at the door. Toni and Winter were sat chatting on the worn down couch. Cheryl got her game face on and confidently strutted over to her girlfriend, Veronica right behind her.
'Hey babe' Cheryl said sitting next to Toni and deeply kissing her, when she pulled away she placed her legs over Tonis. Veronica sat on the chair smirking at Cheryl marking her territory.
'Hey babe' Toni smiled back relieved that Cheryl wasn't mad.

Cheryl sat forward now looking at Winter 'oh sorry didn't see you there'.
'Hello to you too' Winter mumbled back, maybe she'd underestimated the redhead.
Toni and Cheryl chatted away, Cheryl purposely touching Toni's arm, kissing her when she could and completely ignoring Winters presence. Veronica had left to go and find Betty, rumours of who Winter previously dated were spreading around school.

The school day ended pretty quickly after that, Cheryl no longer worrying about Winter being a threat she knew she could take her down and Toni happy that Cheryl isn't mad about Winter having to spend the next few days at school with her. Winter decided to take a step back on her plans to get Toni back or get rid of Cheryl for now, she needed a plan.
