The story of Cheryl Blossom

Chapter 8

Cheryl had long-lost focus in studying, it occurred to her when she realized she had read the same page at least ten times. She stole a glance at Betty whose head was still buried in her book. They had agreed on meeting at the library as soon as their classes ended and staying until 6, the time when Toni would finish her shift at the White Whyrm. They had arrived at the library at 3 and it felt like at least five hours had passed.
Letting out a low sigh Cheryl decided to check the time,
"Oh shit." She spoke softly causing Betty to look up from her book "That's why it felt like five hours! IT HAS BEEN!" Cheryl leapt from her seat and threw her book into her bag
"What are you talking about?" Betty sighed as she closed her own book
"We've been here for five hours! It's 8pm!" Cheryl quickly made her way to the exit. Betty frowned for a moment before realization dawned on her
"Oh shit that means Toni has been at you house for 2 hours!" She spoke quickly as she fought to catch up to Cheryl.
"I don't understand why she didn't text me though..." Cheryl mumbled as they crossed the quad. Betty shrugged her shoulders in response as they reached the door to Thornhill. After Cheryl finally got the chance to get emancipated, her and Toni have been living in Thornhill together with Nana Rose, who was happy to see Cheryl happy again. Upon opening, it they found out why Toni hasn't texted Cheryl, curled up on the couch was Toni, fast asleep.
"Is that... Is that your sweater?" Betty asked, moving quietly for better inspection. Cheryl cocked her head to one side and followed her friend, crouching down next to the sleeping figure, surely enough it was her Riverdale High sweater.
"That's so cute!" Betty explained. Cheryl frowned, Betty and Toni...tolerated each other, for the sake of Cheryl but never had she heard either refer to each other as "cute". Cheryl's confusion only deepened when Betty took out her phone and snapped a picture.
"Blackmail." Betty shrugged. Cheryl laughed. Of course, it was. "I'll leave you to it. G'night Cher." Betty smiled and pulled Cheryl into a quick hug before disappearing into the guest room. Betty has been staying there for the past few days because her and Jughead recently had a huge fight, and she didn't want to see him. Cheryl stood staring at the sleeping figure in front of her before deciding to carry her into the bedroom. Carefully Cheryl picked up the small girl and easily moved her, Toni didn't even stir.
Placing Toni on the bed gently, Cheryl got a better view of her wearing the sweater. It was far too big the brunette, hell it could probably fit the two of them. Smiling mischievously Cheryl climbed onto the bed and pulled the sweater up slightly and slowly placed her arms inside, so they lay above Toni's own. She pulled her body through next, easily fitting her head through the hole and settling for resting her head on Toni's shoulder.
Cheryl couldn't help but think this sweater was magical or something, the sheer fact that it was stretched enough to fit two girls in it was a miracle at most.

Toni felt a weight on her chest, she couldn't explain it. But when she went to move she found herself trapped, opening her eyes she was faced with pure darkness. Her entire body must still be asleep because Toni found that as soon as she tried to stand up, she rolled off of what she assumed to be a bed. The scream she heard as she fell did not match her own, in fact it resembled.....
"Cheryl?!" Toni choked as she landed on the hard floor.
"That hurt..." came the muffled reply
"Hurt? Who just fell on their back Cher?" Toni shot back quickly "Why can't I move?"
"Well..." Cheryl began but was interrupted by a sleepy looking Betty standing at the door, hand still on the light switch
"What the hell are you two doing?" She asked, staring at the two girls on the floor. That was when Toni realized she had fallen asleep in one of Cheryl's sweaters, she also happened to notice that at some point, Cheryl had carried her to bed and then decided to join in by somehow fitting into the sweater herself.
"How the hell did you manage this?" Toni asked, shock evident in her voice.
"Erm...magic?" Cheryl replied sheepishly.
"Of course..."
"But no seriously, you looked so comfy, I didn't want to wake you up so I decided to join you." Cheryl smirked slightly.
"A heads up next time would be great, I don't appreciate waking up in the middle of the night, being convinced that I'm paralyzed from the neck down and then falling off of the bed." Toni replied with a straight face.
"But you do like sharing the sweater?" Cheryl asked
"Cheryl Bombshell wrapped around me for an entire night? Yes please" Toni winked. Cheryl just laughed and kissed Toni on her jaw, realizing she couldn't reach her lips.
That was when they heard the sound of a camera, Toni looked over to see Betty, grinning whilst holding her phone.
"COOPER I WILL END YOU"
"Not like that you won't Topaz!" Betty stated before sauntering off towards her bedroom, turning off the light as she left.
Cheryl couldn't help but laugh, Toni would be getting payback soon enough.
