Tears, they stung her face as they rolled down her cheeks. Silently she cried herself to sleep, her brother was gone...she was alone, until she met Veronica Lodge.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP* Cheryls alarm clock raged. She turned over to turn it off only to ram her hand directly into her mother, Penelope Blossom. "Mother, oh I'm sorry I didn't see you there." She squealed.
"You're late for school." Penelope huffed. Cheryl could sense the anger that was trickling out of her mothers mouth but she didn't dare mention it.
"Wait, what time is it?" Cheryl murmured, rubbing the sleep from her eyes.
"8:15." Penelope replied coldly. Cheryl looked up to meet her mothers eyes, her dark eyes that held more secrets than anyone she knew. "C'mon Cheryl you're already late I'll drive you." Her mother said.
"Oh uh-uh...thanks." Cheryl said confused. She wasn't going to question it she took whatever kind of good day that her mother had as a blessing, worried that the wrong thing would make her go back to her original, horrid self. Cheryl threw on a black crushed velvet skirt and a red T-shirt and ran downstairs. She grabbed a granola bar from the pantry and walked outside where her mother was already waiting for her. She hopped in the front seat and closed the door only hoping that this little helpful car ride wouldn't end up with her mother asking her for something in return. Halfway to school the question came and she was ready for it.
"Cheryl, you should invite Archie over for dinner." Penelope said trying to seem nonchalant. Cheryl knew that this was not a thoughtful little suggestion, it was a demand disguised as one. She knew her mother adored Archie Andrews and would love for him to be married into their family, so she had a feeling that this was part of a much bigger plan that her mother had ready for her now that she was her only child.
"Of course mother, I'll talk to him today." She said. Her mother seemed satisfied and reassured her daughter by resting her hand on her daughters knee cap with her other hand still on the steering wheel.
Her mom pulled into the school parking lot and stopped Cheryl opened the door and stepped out she crouched down and looked at her mom.
"Bye mommy." She said.
"Bye Cheryl, love you." Her mother said back. Cheryl shut the car door and walked off, dumbfounded by what had just occurred to her. Could her mother possibly be changing she thought. She went into the office and checked in and made her way into what was left of first period.
