Toni's Pov

Riverdale had changed over the past few years, some people would say that the bond between the Southside and Northside had improved, due to the fact that the Southsiders had been attending Riverdale High for the past three years, most of the high school students adapted to attending school with them. Meaning there was peace in the corridors. But the streets on the other hand, were the opposite.

Anyone who wasn't currently attending school would say that the bond had become worse, all the adults despised each other, they were still brawling on the streets, writing scathing articles about each other, so the students could only act friendly during school hours, without their parents getting mad.

However, the imaginary border between the south and northside had practically collapsed, meaning people would cross over the tracks, whether it was for eating, buisness or just plain social calls.

Im unfortunately a southside serpent so I have grown up running on little money in a tiny trailer on my own, so I was happy when the rivalry died down between our age groups, it gave me access to much nicer things and nicer places to take my Girlfriend, Kimberly, on a date. She was also a Serpent, we had been dating for months now but the relationship was very toxic, and mostly one sided. Recently she started to ditch me to hang out with other girls on the southside, It was slowly tearing us apart, it wasn't a relationship built of love, it was all lust.

I finally managed to pry her away from all the other girls to go on a date with me today, to a coffee shop on the northside, she wasnt happy to say the least, all she wanted to do was spend all day in the Whyte Wyrm and it started to get on my nerves. When we arrived I looked around the room, it was filled of the normal customers, kids from Riverdale high, a mix between the Northsiders and Southsiders. I ordered my usual Vanilla Latte, but Kim ordered nothing, stating that she wanted to be quick with the date then go.

"Kim, why have you been so off lately?" I questioned her, normally she was straight up with her answers, she never cared about anyones feelings..
"I've not, I dont know what your on about." I rolled my eyes at her. She knew exactly what I was on about.
"Oh so it's not like you have been purposefully ignoring my texts, leaving dates early, not spending any time with me and hanging around and flirting with other girls...." She didnt even look shocked at what I said.
"Do you want the straight up answer or the long one." I knew she was lying.
"The straight up one."
"Fine... I don't want a serious relationship, not at all, and you refuse to do anything with me in bed, which to be honest is all I care about, and I've found other girls, girls that give me that... so I'm over you." I wasnt expecting that answer, I thought I would just have to change a bit, but she's cheated on me. I used to really like her, but now I'm over that, I can find better.
"F...fuck you..." Is all that could escape my mouth.
"Fuck you two Toni, Im going..."
"Please.. The doors that way!"

She stood up and stormed out of the cafe, leaving me alone in my chair, tears rolling down my face, even though she was horrible to me, I really did like her, and I knew I was going to miss her over the next few days. My drink finally arrived, and I slipped down into my chair and pulled out my phone, I started to scroll through the very few pictures I had of us on my phone. Once I examined them for a while and started to ugly cry, I swapped apps and started looking at the minor amount of cute texts exchanged between us over the long time we were together. Once I realised how loud I was sobbing, I got up off my seat and ran into the toilets, hoping that I would no longer disturb anyone with my emotions.

I burst open the first stall on the right, checking that no other stalls were engaged. After I knew I was alone, I burst out crying, almost wailing as slammed my back on the wall and slowly slipped down it. I was letting all the emotions out that Kim had built up in me over the past months, she had filled me with so much pain.

I heard the door to the bathroom open and I suddenly fell silent, the stall next to me shut and I heard the lock click. I sat waiting in silence for them to leave when a note, written on a piece of toilet paper, slipped under the stall wall and next to me.

Are You Ok?

I was confused about why some stranger would care about my buisness, I was about to reply when another piece came through.

Text me about it.

Next to it was the persons number, I heard their door unlock and their shoes tapping on the floor with every step she took, I quickly scrambled to my feet and tried to open the door, to get a glance at her before she left. But by the time i got it open, she was gone.
