CHERYL'S POV

*Ding* Ding* Ding*
The sound of my alarm clock woke me up. Today is school, and I get to see Toni. A smile crept upon my face, but soon fades when the sudden realization hits me. It's school and Toni won't hang out with my because I'm a freak.
I get up and get ready. I put on some regular light jeans with a black shirt with some slip on vans. Father had barely let me wear jeans. He finally noticed how I get sick easily and he didn't want it to reflect bad on himself. I brush my hair and leave it down. I look at myself in the mirror and I put my glasses on and head downstairs
"Good morning, Father, mother and JJ." I say as I walk towards my nana
"And good morning nana Rose" I say as I miss her checks
"Good morning, Cheryl dear" Nana said and side hugged me
I smile and sit down right besides her
"Good morning Cheryl" my dad sighed as he was reading the newspaper
My mom just smiled at me and continued to read the Bible.
"Good morning sister, are you ready to head out" JJ asked
"Yeah I am" I say
And we both head out to the car and he drives us to school
We walk in and we go opposite directions because of where our locker is at
"I'll see you later Cheryl" Jason said and walked away
I immediately go to my locker and collect some books I need for my first 2 classes.
"Hey Cheryl" I hear Veronica say
"Hey, how was the family business" i look at her but she seems a little distracted. I look at where she's looking at and she's looking at Betty who is with Jughead
"You like her don't you" I quietly ask Veronica
"What" she snaps her back to face me
"You like Betty, don't you?" I ask with a smile on my face
"What ! No I don't" she tried to laugh it off but I know she's lying
"Hey it's okay if you do!" I say to her
"Okay. Fine I do like Betty, like a lot. But she's too busy with Jughead. I wish I was the one who hurt him " she sounded annoyed
We both look at at Betty who was treating his wounds. Who hurt Jughead and why did they?
"Shoot your shot Veronica. Don't be afraid because who knows, what if she does like you too." I tell her thinking about TT and I
"Now Cheryl when did you become such a love expert" Veronica asked
"Um I just know, from experience" I say and walking away turning around and wink at her
I walk to class, trying to avoid Toni, I honestly don't know how I'm going to avoid her during math class. I know the school doesn't actually call my parents when I am absent, so I guess I can ditch that period. I take the longer way to class and walk through halls where hardly any people go to. As I walk into a certain hall, I see Midge and Moose. I was about turn around, but they've already seen me, I'm too late.

"Well if it is Brace face Cheryl" Moose says as they all walk towards me

"Wow, I haven't seen you in a while. I thought you killed yourself already." Midge says as she laughs out
"Even if she did no one would notice because she's a fucking loner" Midge snarks
"You're lucky, your brother is Jason and I can't hurt you" Moose says
"Oh but I don't care" Midge buds in
"P-p-plea-ease s-Stop" I stutter out
They start mimicking me, Midge turns to face me and hits my stomach, she slaps my face knocking down my glass then punches my mouth, which makes my gums bleed because of my braces
We all see Jughead and I plead to him so he can help me.
"Continue on, she's a worthless bitch" Jughead says and turns around limping away
Moose and Midge laugh. By now I'm on the floor, they walk away, but not before Midge kicks me in my stomach.
I can't get up, my stomach is hurting really bad. i can't go home because I know mother and nana rose are there. I lay there for a little, until I check the time and see 1st period will be ending soon. I get up as slowly and carefully as possible and walk to the restroom that's near by. I look at myself in the mirror and see how bruised my face was. I can't hide this, I don't have makeup to cover this up.
I clean my face with water to take away all the blood stains. After that I lock the restroom so no one could come in. I then pull up my shirt and see the big red spots and I know I'll end up with bruises there.
I open my backpack and find a dad hat, I put it on and I'll just look down and avoid everyone.
I head the bell ring and I head out walking to the library. I rush past everyone and safely make it to the library. I walk upstairs to the second story because no one even goes up there. And I cry quietly
