"Honestly babe you'll be okay" Toni said grabbing Cheryl's hand before they got out of her car. "i don't know why i feel so nervous" she said quietly. "it's a scary thing it's okay" Toni replied. They walked into school together and walked into the common room. All their friends were sat around talking as they walked in. Cheryl stood and cleared her throat to get everyone's attention. "Okay so i have something to tell you guys" she said with a bit of a shaky voice. Fangs and Sweetpea immediately smirked and had excited looks on their faces. Toni scowled at them as if to say 'don't you dare speak' and they understood what her look meant. "Okay i've known for a while now and got guys are my friends and i want you to know" she said as she turned round and grabbed Toni's hand interlocking their finger. "I'm a lesbian and me and Toni are dating" she said rather confidently. They all looked around at each other smiling. "ahhhhh i'm so happy for you guys" Veronica screamed as she stood up and hugged them. The two girls smiled at each other as they sat down. "i wondered why you two had been spending so much time together" Archie said to which a few of them nodded agreeing that they had thought the same.
The conversation passed and they started discussing the most recent scandals of riverdale high. "and then she had sex with her boyfriends brother in the back of his car" Veronica whispered looking around to which everyone replied with a gasp and a laugh. They talked for a while and then the bell for first period sounded. "i've got a tour to do" Cheryl said as she rolled her eyes. "I'll walk with you" Toni said standing up. "awwwwww" Fangs said sarcastly. Toni grabbed a cushion and threw it at him before walking out. Cheryl look at Toni and smiled and then softly grabbed her hand as they walked down the hallway. She loved that she could hold her girlfriends hand without feeling scared of what other people thought of her. Toni's opinion was the only one she really cared about.
"Hi i'm Cheryl" she said politely shaking the boys hand. "Noah" he replied with a smile and Cheryl noticed his accent. He was taller than Cheryl and he was tanned and he hand black short curly hair. He wore some blue jeans that were rolled up at the bottom so you could see his white socks, a striped long sleeved top and some vans. He was your average indie skater boy type but he was very goodlooking. Cheryl didn't fancy him obviously but she knew immediately that everyone else would. "So where are you from?" she asked intriguingly. "originally from australia and then i lived in germany for a while and now here. My dads in the military so we move around a lot" he replied.
Cheryl completed her tour and the bell sounded for break time. "hey u know your welcome to sit with us at lunch. I can introduce you to my friends" Cheryl said kindly. She had recently decided that she wanted to be a better person as she wanted people to like her rather than fear her. "That'd be great" he said gratefully with a smile. She smiled back at him and walked away towards the girls bathroom. He was nice and she knew he'd get on well with Archie and the boys.
As Cheryl stood in the mirror applying more red lipstick, Toni walked in. She stopped and dramatically put her hand on her chest. "Wow" she gasped, overexagerating. Cheryl smirked at her in the mirror but continued to apply her lipstick. Toni hugged her front behind and placed her chin on her shoulder. She had to go on her tiptoes because Cheryl was taller. "Blot" Cheryl said puckering her lips. Toni rolled her eyes and kissed Cheryl quickly and softly. Cheryl smiled at her as if to say 'thank you'. "your so hot" Toni whispered as they stood smiling at each other. They were both so happy and in awe of each other they couldn't help but smiled. "and your so cute" she said hugging her. Betty and Veronica walked in and Toni and Cheryl turned to look at them. "ohhhhh the love birds" Veronica said excitedly and everyone laughed.
Veronica fixed her hair in the mirror as Betty washed her hands. "How was your tour today?" she asked. "Yeah good, the new guy is sitting with us at lunch" Cheryl replied. "Really?" Veronica added unsure about how she felt about someone new immediately joining the group. "Yeah i'm trying to be nicer and more inclusive so i thought why not?" She replied glancing at Toni who smiled at her. "well great" Betty said. She loved meeting new people.
!!!
Cheryl and Noah walked into the cafeteria together and sat on their usual table. Toni, Jughead, Betty, Veronica and Archie were all day down. Fangs kevin and Sweetpea were in the queue. "Everyone this is Noah" Cheryl said as they sat down. Everyone individually introduced themselves to him and they started making general conversation. They asked what subjects he was taking, where he was from and if he was into any sports. "I'm not really the sporty type. I'm more into art and photography" He replied. "Oh my god me too" Toni said excitedly. No one else in the group was artsy so she liked having someone now. Cheryl looked at Noah as he chatted to Toni. She noticed the way he was looking at her and realised he liked her straight away. Toni was just being her usual friendly self but he was staring and Cheryl didn't like it. She didn't do or say anything because she didn't wanna embarrass herself.
For pretty much all of lunch time Toni and Noah found out more and more things that they had in common with each other. They liked the same artist, same music and they had the same sense of humour. When the conversation died down Cheryl whispered for Toni to come to the bathroom with her. They both stood up and walked out.
Cheryl kissed Toni passionately putting her hands through her hair as she did. She could tell Toni was taken by surprise. "what was that for?" Toni whispered, extremely turned on. "I just needed to kiss u" she whispered.
They made out for a while in the bathroom before realising they needed to head to their next lessons. "That new boy is cool" Toni said enthusiastically looking at Cheryl who replied with a groan. "you literally invited him to sit with us?" she continued. "yeah but i didn't know he was going to flirt with you" she replied quietly but sternly. Toni tried to hide her smirk. Cheryl looked at her waiting for a reply. "Honey, are you jealous?" Toni asked stepping closer to her girlfriend. "No" she said softly looking down at the floor. Toni wrapped her arms on Cheryl's shoulders and looked into her eyes. "Your so cute" she said giggling "and you don't have to worry because i'm all yours babe" she continued smiling at her. Cheryl blushed and kissed her softly. "Are you coming over tonight?" she whispered smirking and playing with Toni's hair. "ugh i so would but i have to work" she said with a sigh. Toni had recently started working at the white worm. She enjoyed working there but when she would much rather be with Cheryl. "well i'll pick you up" the redhead said smiling. "i'd like that."
!!!!
It got to about 12 and the bar had died down. It was small so people usually came early and went to a larger bar after. Everyone had gone and Toni was doing a few jobs before she closed. She needed to restock the fridges and clean the tables and she was done. She grabbed a cloth and a towel from behind the bar and started cleaning the table. It would take her very long because she want really doing them properly. She played some of her music through the speakers and sang as she cleaned.
Toni heard the door of the worm open and looked towards it. Cheryl walked in and Toni was in shock. She was wearing a black catsuit and some black boots and she looked absolutely amazing. Toni's has dropped. She walked towards her. "hi" she whispered in Toni's ear as she softly placed a kiss on her neck just below her jaw line. Toni breathed heavily. She felt butterflies in her stomach and she could feel herself getting warmer and warmer. Toni slowly moved her hands towards the bottom of Cheryl's back pulling her closer to her. "i can't believe your my girlfriend" she whispered softly. Cheryl smiled and kissed her passionately. Toni lifted herself up so that she was sitting on the edge of the pool table. She wrapped her legs around Cheryl's lower back and wrapped her arms around her neck. Cheryl slowly traced her hands across Toni's back. She pulled away and looked at Toni in the eyes. She bit her lip seductively and kissed her harder. Toni moaned quietly, enjoying the passion in their kisses. "babe can we can out of here" she said softly in between kissing her.
!!!
"Shhh" Toni said laughing as Cheryl bashed into the cabernet at the top of the stairs. "sorry" she said smiling. Toni smiled and kissed her as they walked into her room. They didn't wanna wake Toni's foster parents so they were being quiet. Or trying at least. They broke away from each other and Cheryl lay down on Toni's bed. Toni presses play on her speaker in her room and music started playing. Toni slowly took off her serpent jacket and flung it on the floor. She started dancing seductively to the music. She wasn't being serious. Cheryl giggled at her silliness.
Toni laughed at herself and walked over to her bed. Cheryl day up and kneeled on the edge of the bed, wrapping her arms around Toni's neck. "your so fucking perfect" the red head said staring into Toni's eyes. Toni smiled and looked down a little embarrassed. "i love you" Cheryl continued. Toni immediately looked up and her jaw dropped. Her shocked expression turned into a smile. Toni's eyes glistened and tears started to form. "babe, are you crying?" Cheryl asked concerned. "no one has ever said that to me before" she said as a tear slowly cascaded down her cheek. "oh T" Cheryl said wiping the tear away and kissing her. "i love you too"
