Chapter Text
Cheryl Blossom Aka It Girl, also know as HBIC, And captain of the River Vixens. She had it all the beauty and the brains. She could Have the the boys and girls eating out of the palm of her hands, I mean if she allowed it. Everyone feared and loved her at the same time, not just because she's rich or for the fact that she looks like a model, on one of those vogue magazine covers. she was the Beyonce of Riverdale.
When she walks, she parts everyone around her like Moses did the red sea. Along with her twin Brother, Jason Blossom Star quarterback, and captain of Riverdale's very own football team. I guess you could say he's the Jay-z to her Beyonce, I mean in a brotherly sister kinda way?
Everyone either want to beat them or be them. Pretty much the ladder... who doesn't want to be drop dead gorgeous in every way possible. Oh and let's not forget filthy stinking Rich. They own half of this small town called Riverdale. They own a maple syrup business up in Thornhill. But honestly who actually gives a shit about maple syrup?
Let's not let the blossom’s hear that, that's pretty much a one-way ticket to misery. For the rest of the school year or probably your whole life. Poor Brittney Oliver sigh... whelp That's when I come in, Toni Fucking Topaz. I'm a badass if i do say so myself.
I've been attending riverdale for one straight long, wait for it... hour! Yep you heard correctly, an hour and I already made it to the fire princess hit list.
Well you see Southside High got Closed down due to imbecile teachers, cough cough Robert Phillips also known as The Sugar Man himself. He Like's selling teens what we call the Jingle Jangle, which is an highly addictive gateway total gutter drug.
He had a gang called the ghoulies selling for him fascinating right? That place was definitely crawling with the Jay-Jay's .Thank you Mr. Phillips... the classrooms didn't have Wifi, the bathroom stalls didn't have doors.
Now I attend the beautiful Riverdale high yay! Note my sarcasm... you all are probably lost, wondering how I even got on the fire princess hit list in less than an hour? Well let’s start from the beginning.
“Toni time to get up” I heard from a distance. I groaned into the pillow ignoring whoever is telling me to get up. I’ve been crashing at sweet pea place for the past week. My uncle has been locking me out. What a dickhead...
“Seriously Toenail? Now is not the time to sleep in. It’s our first day at Riverdale high. We all agreed we’re doing this together so get up.” Oh that’s Definitely Fangs he’s been calling me Toenail since we were seven.
“ I’m not dealing with those preppy ass rich kids alone. Are you really going to leave me with Jughead and Pea? ” he huffed plopping on my back. “Fine I’m up, I’m up...” I groaned getting up stretching cracking my back in the process. Smirking at fangs who grimaced from the sound.
“That’s gross as fuck” he said chucking my serpent jacket at my stomach. I chuckled and padded down the narrow hallway of the trailer, making my way to the bathroom.
I came across a locked door sucking my teeth “ Really who’s in the bathroom? I have to pee!” Jughead chuckled exiting the steamed filled bathroom with partially wet hair . “Don’t you think you Should have gotten up a little bit earlier?”
I ignored him pushing him aside “Who stupid idea was it to go to school together anyway?” Sighing forcefully grabbing my toothbrush and the toothpaste.
“Yours!” Chuckling turning on the shower. “Don’t ever listen to me again” dreading the day already. I wrapped the towel around my drenched body .Picking up my duffle bag that’s hanging up on the back of the door.
After getting dress I walked into the small kitchen. Seeing sweet pea buttering two slices of toast. Snatching the one from his hand, taking a bite. “Do you have some milk with this? It’s kinda dry.” I gave him a sly Wink we both laughed.
Me and sweet pea used to have a thing but we realized we were better off as friends. We couldn’t balance both each other’s needs and be a full time serpent at the same time.
“Hey where’s my toast?” Fangs said looking at sweet pea in disbelief. Not able to hold it in we both laughed spitting out the remainder of the toast in the process.
“Toni said I can have a slice as long as I butter it” sweet pea said raising his hands in defense. Turning to fangs with my mouth agape looking back and forth between him in pea.
“He knows you’re lying now , I don’t share my food sweet cheeks” I chuckled Grabbing my serpent jacket off the floor.
“Toni! How many times do I have to tell you to stop calling me that?!” He sighed grabbing his keys off the messy coffee table. “Shit I’m sorry sweet tea you know I forget” high fiving fangs and Jughead on my way out.
“I don’t even know why you bother” Jughead chuckled out. Revving his bike to life. Sweet Pea flicked him off and sped off stopping at FP’s trailer “ Well he’s going to school brooding ” fangs and I both shrugged and smiled.
Mounting my bike i pulled out my lipstick applying it to my lips when I see Jug and fangs looking at me from the corner of my eyes. “Really?” Jughead questioned with an eye roll. “What Forsythe Pendleton Jughead Jones the third?” discarding my lipstick back into my bag.
He glared at me and then sped ahead stopping next to sweet pea. You can see both of them shaking their heads in the distance looking back at me and fangs then pulling off .
“Am I next because I’m really sorry for waking you up, you know I love you right?” I just gave him a poker face. “okay yeah... that’s my cue” once he made it up there with the rest of them. I pulled out my aviators and pulled off passing them. “Bye suckers!”
We made a pit stop at pops to grab some bagels and milkshakes. On our way out. Me being me I bumped into someone when I was placing my camera back into my bag . Almost spilling my chocolate milkshake on them. I look up to be met with brown eyes and that signature red hair.
“Uh sorry?” taken aback by who I bumped into. He didn’t yell or make a scene. He just smiled “Its no problem” and walked to his booth. Where his sister Cheryl Blossom was seated glaring daggers at my skull.
Well okay then... I walked out and leaned on my bike crossing my arms“ I’m actually surprised he didn’t put the Blossom wrath upon you.” Sweet pea said sipping his very original vanilla bean milkshake...so basic. Raising an eyebrow. “Hmm me too” taking my shades from the collar of my shirt.
“You my friend have the wrong Blossom” Jughead said while biting into his bagel pointing an accusing finger at sweet pea. “That Would be miss bombshell.” Jughead said wiping the bits of cream cheese on his jeans.
“Keep my name out of your mouth you hobo Danny Zuko.” Cheryl said strutting on the pebbled road to her cherry red convertible. With her brother trotting along.
Cheryl made eye contact with me through her rare view mirror and smirked. Woah she’s actually really hot. She backed up coming toward me. I scurried off my bike. The back of her car slightly bumped my front tire.
“Oops I’m so sorry that was an accident” she put her hand over her plump lips feigning innocence. Before pulling off. Yeah she’s hot alright, she’s a hot ass mess. “ See I told you” Jughead said while fixing his beanie.
“Are we going to Ignore the fact that Cheryl tried to run Toni over” sweet pea said looking around scratching the back of his neck.
“I’m sorry I’m still stuck on the fact that Cheryl actually knows what Grease is ” Fangs said chewing on his straw looking around with wide eyes. “What am I the only one that’s surprised?”fang looked around incredulously. “Wow..”
We pulled up to the school to see the rest of the southside waiting for us on the steps. We all made eye contact and nodded once walking into the school together.
Stepping into the thresholds of Riverdale High, all eyes were on us. We walked up to I guess the sign up table. Aye it’s the northside Neo-nazis leader from the red circle video. Dingus...
“Friends! On behalf of the students and faculty at Riverdale high, welcome to your new school!” Is everyone this jolly in the morning. I gave her a small smile to seem friendly and invested in this conversation. I honestly just want to get to class.
“To ease this transition I setup a registration desk where you can get your locker assignments, class schedules, and a list of sports and extra curriculars. We in courage each and everyone of you to drink deeply in the cup that is fair Riverdale.” Hmm maybe this move won’t be half bad. Nodding actually getting invested in what she was saying.
“Stand down Eva Perón!” Shit I know that voice. And there is the voice that match the face. In come your Highness with her knights and shining armors. Damn is she moving in slow motion she looks really...intimidating.
“There’s the school spirit I so fondly remember” jughead groaned out. I was too distracted to reply by the sight in front of me. “Cheryl no one invited factious Barbie to the party” ohh miss thing got some bite. I wouldn’t mind hanging with her..maybe let’s see how this plays out.
“Wrong Veronica! No one invited southside scum to our school.” Excuse me? “Listen up rag-a-muffins! I will not allow Riverdale high above average GPA to suffer because classrooms that are over crowded with...underachievers.”
“So please do us all a favor and find some other school to deface with your hard scrap aways.” Okay I had enough she not about to keep disrespecting me and my friends. Fangs gripped my shoulders trying to hold me back. But I shrugged him off.
“Why don’t you come over here and say that to my face!” I gritted through my teeth. Stalking over to queen of the damned. “Happily queen of the buskers!” Cheryl said with disdain on her tongue approaching closer towards me.
“Okay guys. Everyone ” Jason sent a pointed look towards his sister. Who sighed and backed down. “Can we just put our northside, southside differences apart and start over.. A new slate?” Archie said stepping up next to Jason. Aw look who became Houdini.
“Eh you don’t speak for the bulldogs Andrews and need I remind you these greasers snakes showed up at your place trying to kick your ass.” I heard pea huff and frustration
Pea charged forward pushing me aside. “ I’ll happily finish what we started” all three us held him back. It was supposed to be a drama free day. “I’m so over the toxic masculinity in this hallway right now.” Veronica said fed up with this whole situation. Yeah we can definitely hangout.
“Alight! That’s enough pomp and circumstance. Everyone get to class now ” principal Weatherber said with finality.
We walked past Riverdale preps both groups giving and icy glare. “So that just happened” I said walking in the direction of the guidance counselor office. Since we weren’t able to receive our schedules due to that altercation five seconds ago.
“Yeah... you’re totally on Cheryl’s hit list now” Jughead chuckled out trying to lighten the atmosphere. “Whatever she’s so on mines too” I mumbled out.
“Okay Toni I think your thinking of the wrong hit list. I think your actually thinking about hitting that.” Sweat pea snickered bumping fist with fangs and jughead. “ You were definitely checking her out” Fangs said placing his arms around my shoulder.
“ Nope are you guys stupid? I literally hate her” I groaned shrugging fangs off of me. “ So you’re telling me that you don’t find her in the least bit attractive?” I stopped and looked at them quizzically. To see them all smiling weirdly at me.
“Um she’s pretty I guess but she’s not my cup of tea..” I said continuing my embark to the guidance counselor office. “I bet you twenty bucks Toni gets a crush on Cheryl” Fangs laughed out loud drawing attention to us.
“ No! No I bet You fifty bucks Cheryl gets a crush on Toni!” Sweet pea laughed out clutching his stomach. “Excuse me I’m fabulous!” I playfully flipped my hair. Walking to the guidance councilors office.
“ You guys must be the last four since your the last one’s to come to my office.” She tossed the small stacks of papers on the counter and continued on her phone call. Rude much..
We shrugged walking out out the office. “Okay let’s see these schedules.” Jughead said while we looked at each other schedule. “Me and Toni have the same schedule. AP history and AP English language and composition. “ me and jughead bump shoulders.
Fangs and sweat pea looked at each other mumbling “Nerds” Before Walking into the chemistry class jughead stopped us and pulled us aside. We raised our eyebrows in question. “I didn’t get in on the bet” he smirked. While fangs and sweet pea started laughing.
“ I bet a hundred dollars that Cheryl and Toni date before the end of the school year.” I rolled my eyes and walked into the class. “ You guys are stupid” I hate walking into class late. Now all eyes are on us.
It was exactly four seats left. “Say your name and say two things about yourself and then find and empty seat. Choose wisely this will be your seat for the rest of the school year.” I groaned really assigned seats what are we five.
“Since you like groaning you can go last young lady. I will not tolerate any nonsense in my class.” I sighed “Yes ma’am” I said saluting her causing the Southside kids to laugh even some from the Northside. “Mrs Grundy is fine, thank you. Now you go first” pointing to fangs.
“My name is Fangs, I’m lactose intolerant and I like riding my motorcycle? I don’t know dude.. I’m just going to sit.” Fangs said walking down the middle of the aisle. sitting next to one of jughead friends. I met him and Betty before.
“Kevin Keller get aquatinted with your new lab partner for the rest of the school year. And dude ? I’m not your dude. Okay next!” I chuckled as Kevin gave an awkward wave to fangs.
“Jughead Jones welcome back you can just take a seat. We already know who you are. You tall boy your up..” Jughead sat right next to Betty Cooper. He smirked at me tilting his head to the right. I look in the direction to see a open seat next to Josie and eh Cheryl Blossom.
“My name is sweet pea-” two boys in the back chuckled. Sweat pea glared at them and they shut up real quick. “I like drawing mainly tattoo designs, and I like hanging with my friends” I looked at sweet pea pleadingly. He laughed out loud causing Fangs and Jughead to start laughing.
God I hate them sometimes. Everyone just looked at them confused from the random out burst. Of course he sat down next to Josie. I guess I’m stuck with Voldemort for the rest of the school year.
“ I’m Toni Topaz,I like photography, and I used to like writing for the red and black maybe I can start writing for the blue and gold” I shrugged walking to the empty seat. Looking at Cheryl plopping in my seat. I looked up to see the guys smiling at me. While I flicked them the bird.
“Okay class take your textbook out and if you don’t a have a textbook yet, share with your partner” I looked under my desk and came up empty handed. I whimpered turning to Cheryl to see she’s already staring at me expectingly. “ looks like you’re sharing with me Cha-Cha” I laid my head on the desk. This is going to be a long year.
