Chapter 1: Sophomore Year
Cassie walks out of her room heading downstairs to go eat breakfast, today is the first day of their Sophomore Year. Cassie's excited she had an amazing summer with her family, & friends. Now, she's ready for school to see her friends. She walks into the kitchen to see her brother Jason at the table with pancakes stacked on his plate.
"Why do you always eat all the pancakes Jason?" Cassie rolls her eyes, and tries to take her brothers food.
"Hey, fuck off Cass. These are mine." Jason growls smacking his sisters' hands away from his food.
"Language!" Cheryl yells walking into the carrying her & Toni's 3-year-old Shyla.
"Mom tell Jason to stop eating all the pancakes. He always hoggs them. I mean hello? We have a baby sister too." Cassie said grabbing two plates. One for her, and one for Shyla.
"I cooked enough, Cassie. Besides, Toni would kill you if you've eaten all of the food JJ." Cheryl puts Shyla down, and fixes her plate.
"You get on my nerves." Jason gives his sister three pancakes, and keeps the rest to himself.
"I want some too, JJ." Shyla said tugging on his shirt. She looks up at him with her pretty brown eyes. Shyla looks like Cheryl, but has Toni's hair color, & ears.
Jason smiles at his little sister. "Okay, my little baby. Want me to cut them up?" Jason asked picking Shyla up, and puts her on his lap.
Shyla nods. "I want 2." Shyla said holding up two fingers.
"2 it is." Jason puts two pancakes on Shyla's plate and cuts them up for her.
"You're such a whip." Cassie rolls her eyes putting bacon on her plate, along with some hashbrowns, & eggs.
"She's our little sister, Cassie. It's our job." Jason said pouring syrup on Shyla's pancakes.
"Thank you, JJ." Shyla kisses his cheek smiling as she does so.
"You're welcome, muffin." Jason kiss his sister's cheek, and goes to put her at her baby table. Jason puts her food down, along with her juice. "Be careful Muffin." Jason walks back to his food, and begins to eat.
"You guys excited for today?" Cheryl asked fixing her, and Toni a plate. Toni loves waking up late.
"I know I am. I'm ready for football, we sucked so bad last year, I'm glad we got a new coach." Jason said rolling his eyes. They sucked ass last year, and had one of the worse coaches ever. They only won 4 games, and that's bad for Riverdale High.
"Me too. I can't wait for cheerleading tryouts to start. I heard we were supposed to have one today. I think we have a new cheerleading coach too." Cassie said pulling out her phone.
"Where's Uncle Sweets?" Jason asked finishing up his food.
"5,4,3,2,1." Cheryl countsdown. As, soon as she did the door opens up, and Sweet Pea walks in with his daughter Brianna.
"Dad, why can't I go out on a date with Ricky?" Brianna asked closing the door walking into the kitchen with Sweet Pea.
"Because, I don't like that kid. He's always causing trouble. If I catch you around him, I'm grounding you, Brianna." Sweet Pea said sternly. "Morning, Cheryl. Hey, Twins. Hey, Shy." Sweet Pea greets his nieces & nephew.
"Hey, Uncle Sweets." They all said at once.
"Where's Tiny?" Sweets asked sitting down at the table.
Cheryl looks at him with "duh" look. "Where do you think she is?" Cheryl chuckles pointing upstairs.
"I'm going to wake her up." Sweet Pea smiles as he stands up. "Wanna come, Jason?" Sweet Pea smirks.
"Yeah, I'll record it this time." Jason said as he gets up too, and follows his Uncle up the steps.
"Those two are going to be in trouble." Brianna said shaking her head as she sits down eating a hashbrown.
"I hope they remember what happened last time when they woke momma up." Cassie chuckles at the memory. Sweet Pea had a black eye, and Jason was on punishment for a week.
"I'm not in this one." Cheryl said drinking her coffee as she shakes her head.
"Sweet Pea! What the fuck?! Jason!" They hear Toni yelling from Upstairs. They hear heavy footsteps running down the stairs. Jason & Sweet Pea both hide. Toni comes down a couple of minutes later angry.
"Where are they?" Toni growls as she looks for her son & best friend. Toni finally opens another door, and sees her son & Sweet Pea hugging each other.
"Don't kill us, Tiny." Sweet Pea said in a childlike voice. Toni raises at brow at him, Sweet Pea is still a damn child in Toni's eyes.
Jason doesn't even want to look at his mother. "Yeah, momma." Jason whimpers in fear.
Toni glares at them. "You're lucky I'm in a good mood, or else I'd give you another black eye Sweets. As, for you (Toni said pointing at her son) today is your first day back at school, so be grateful, you're not on punishment. Get out of the damn, closet, and hurry up." Toni said walking away for the door.
They walk out heading back into the kitchen. "Sorry, momma." Jason kisses Toni's head, and grabs his bags.
"Thank god, today is the first day." Brianna giggles getting and kisses her father's cheek. "Bye daddy." Brianna said grabbing her stuff.
"Bye baby, and don't go near the Ricky kid." Sweet Pea said with a scowl as he stuffed food into his mouth.
"Ugh!" Brianna storms out of the house in anger. Toni shakes her head at Sweet Pea.
"Bye moms." The twins said kissing both of their parents. Then Shyla.
"Bye Twins." Toni & Cheryl both say. Toni smiles when Shyla comes over, and sits in her lap.
"Sweets, why won't you let Brianna date Ricky?" Toni asked looking at her best friend.
"Because, he's trouble, Tiny. I don't want him near my daughter. You know that's Penny's kid, right?" Sweet Pea said with a raised brow.
Toni's eyes widen. "Wait, what? Penny had a child? Ew." Toni make a disgusted face. "Did you know baby?" Toni asked Cheryl.
"Of course, baby. Ricky looks just like her. I was shocked too, but as long as he's not around the twins. I don't care." Cheryl said shrugging her shoulders.
"Hmm. Let's drop little mama off to day care, and get to business." Toni said.
"Good idea." Sweet Pea said standing up.
…
At School
The Twins & Brianna head inside school just in time. They all head to their lockers which was right next to each other's to put their stuff away.
"So, Bri? You coming to tryouts today?" Cassie asked putting her bag inside her locker.
"Of course, Cass. Oh no, here comes Cameron Clayton." Brianna said rolling her eyes.
Jason slams his locker shut, and waits for him. Cameron walks up to them.
"Hey, Cassie. Hey, Brianna." Cameron greets the girls. "Jason." Cameron said with no emotion.
"What do you want, Clayton?" Jason said pushing Brianna, and Cassie behind him, gently.
"To talk to your sister." Cameron said in frustration. Jason wants to punch this asshole in the face, after what he did do his sister.
Jason scoffs. "I don't think so, you stay away from my fucking sister, and Brianna." Jason growls balling up his fists.
"Jason, let's go to class. We don't have time for his stupid ass." Cassie said pulling her brother away.
"Cassie, can we talk?" Cameron asked her. He needs to talk to her, and explain himself.
Cassie sighs. "No, I don't ever want to talk to you again. Not after what you did to me last year. You're lucky, Jason, & Lance went easy on you." Cassie said.
"What's going on here?" A voice said from behind Cameron. Cameron turns to see Lance walking up to them.
"Nothing, dude. I just wanted to talk to Cassie." Cameron said putting his hands up in defense.
Lance frowns. "Why are you talking to her anyway, after what you did to her? You stay away from my family Clayton, you got that?" Lance said in anger.
"Yeah, dude. I'm sorry, Cassie." Cameron said walking away from them.
"You okay baby Blossom-Topaz?" Lance asked walking over to Cassie to hug her.
"Yeah, thanks guys. Where's Aunt Betty & Uncle Juggie?" Cassie asked breaking the hug.
"Oh, they went to a meeting this morning." Lance shrugs not caring. "Let's go to class." Lance wraps his arm around Brianna as they head to class.
….
At Lunch
Cassie is at lunch about to go to the lunch line, until she feels someone behind her, she turns to see Cameron standing behind her.
"What are you doing?" Cassie asked with a frown. Cassie is starting to get irritated with Cameron. He can't take a hit?
"I'm sorry, for what I did. Can you forgive me Blossom?" Cameron asked with pleading eyes.
"It's Blossom-Topaz, and why should I? You outed me in front of the whole school at the game last year, because of you I wanted to kill myself, Clayton!" Cassie hisses in anger like a snake. "You had no right to that to me, I wasn't ready yet. So, no I don't forgive you, I hate you, I thought you were going to be a friend of mine, but you're just like your father, but worse." Cassie said with tears forming in her eyes.
"Cass, I'm sorry. I swear, I'm just…I'm sorry Cassie, really. I know you're going to hate me for the rest of my life, but I just needed to say it. I don't want to be my dad, please? Can I take you out for a milkshake, at pop's? Tonight?" Cameron asked with tears falling down his eyes.
"Clayton!" Jason throws his jacket on the ground, and runs over to him. Cassie groans as her brother approaches them in full speed.
"Shit. Stop!" Cassie said putting her hands on her brother's chest.
"Let me at him!" Jason said trying to move past his sister, but for Cassie to be small she's strong just like Toni.
"Jason! Don't cause a scene. I don't need Miranda Weatherbee calling our moms." Cassie said pushing her brother back.
"But…" Jason frowns at his sister. "Cassie, he…" Jason points at Cameron.
"I'm a big girl, JJ. I got this, okay? Go get our lunches and I'll meet you at our table, okay?" Cassie said to her brother.
Jason sighs. "Fine." Jason walks away angrily grabbing his jacket as he waits in the long ass line.
"Look, I'll have to ask my moms first, but other than that just stay away from me. I'll text you later." Cassie said walking away from Cameron.
Cassie walks over to the table, and sits down. Brianna looks at her best friend with a frown.
"What the hell was that about?" Brianna asked putting her phone away as she waits for Cassie to answer her.
Cassie sighs. "He wants to take me to pops tonight. Jason will kill me." Cassie groans putting her face in her hands.
"Uh, not only will he kill you, Lance will, & so will your mothers. Have you lost your damn mind? He put you through hell last year, along with Nick St. Clair's daughter Morgan. They embarrassed, you C. You were in the hospital for over a month. Cameron better be lucky, that all Jason & Lance did to him was kick his ass." Brianna growls.
"I know, B. I'm glad Morgan moved away though." Cassie said running her hand through her hair.
"I'm so glad I whooped her ass, along with Alana." Brianna grins at the memory. She & Alana (Veronica's & Archie's daughter) fucked Morgan up last year when Cassie was in the hospital.
Cassie chuckles. "Where's Alana, anyway?" Cassie asked looking for the young girl.
"Probably off with Mason McCoy doing god knows what." Brianna rolls her eyes.
"So, how are you feeling about, Ricky?" Cassie raises brow at her friend. Ricky is a bad boy, but he is cute, Cassie must admit, but he's also Penny's son. Cassie knows about her mother's past lives. They've done things they weren't proud of, but that's how it was being a serpent.
"He's so cute. I can't believe dad won't let me date him." Brianna said groaning angrily.
"Bri, try and see from Uncle Sweets POV. I mean he is a Peabody." Cassie said. Brianna was about to speak, but Cassie stops her. "I'm a Blossom-Topaz, and I'm proud of it, but Bri, the Ghoulies, and the Serpents have been at each other's throats for years. I see where Uncle Sweets is coming from, but I see your point as well, all I can tell to Bri is to be careful with him. He has Ghoulie blood, and I have Serpent blood along with Jason & our other friends, including you. We don't want you to get hurt by him. A Serpent never sheds it skin. Remember that, sis." Cassie winks at her.
"Yeah, I know. A Serpent never stands alone." Brianna smiles at the rule. That saying has to be one of her favorites.
"Finally!" Cassie said as her brother comes over with their food. "Took, you long enough." Cassie said to Jason.
"Hey, that line was long as fuck." Jason said giving Cassie her tray. Cassie smiles at her brother.
"Here you go Bri." Lance said giving her a tray. "I had to bribe the lunch lady for an extra apple pie for you." Lance said with a grin.
"Thanks Lance." Brianna said kissing his cheek. Lance blushes a little before he eats his burger (Just like Jughead).
Cassie sees it and shakes her head. Lance has it bad for Brianna.
…..
At home
The Twins finally walk inside their house after dropping Brianna at hers. They walk into the living room, and see their mothers watching TV while Shyla is playing with her barbie dolls.
"Hey, moms." Jason said sitting down on the couch. "Hey, muffin." Jason winks at Shyla.
"Hi, JJ. Hi Cassie." Shyla greets turning to smile at her siblings. Shyla goes back to playing with her dolls.
"Hi everyone." Cassie sits beside her brother putting her bag down beside her feet. Jason watches TV with an angry face. Toni notices it, and pauses the TV.
"What's wrong son?" Toni asked looking at him. Jason looks over at Cassie urging her to tell them.
Cassie rolls her eyes. "Cameron, wants to take me to pop's tonight." Cassie said clearing her throat.
Cheryl's eyes widen. "Absolutely not young lady!" Cheryl said from her spot on the couch. Now, Toni may be a hothead at times, and she 's more forgiving, but Cheryl Marjorie Blossom is not.
"Mom, I told him I'd asked you two first, and I'll text him my answer." Cassie said looking at Cheryl. Her mother can be dramatic sometimes, especially with boys, but Cassie can see where Cheryl is coming from.
"The nerve of that Clayton boy, hurting our daughter. Chuck better be lucky, you held me back, TT." Cheryl said bitterly. No one messes with her kids, she doesn't give a damn who it is. Cheryl is still a pro at Archery, she'd be happy to send a couple of arrows up Cameron's ass.
Toni chuckles at her wife. "This is riveting, I can't breathe." Toni said with a laugh as she shakes her head.
Cheryl glares at her wife for those words she had said many years ago at her fathers will reading. The Twins giggle, because they heard of the story about the will reading. Jason was cracking up when Toni said that Alice Cooper came in and went off on Hal Cooper & their grandmother Penelope.
"Not funny, TT. He hurt our daughter, I'll be damned if he does it again." Cheryl said crossing her arms.
"Baby, I know you can't stand the poor child, but hear him out at least." Toni said rubbing her hand on Cheryl's arm.
"No way, TT. Not in a million fucking years. I will bury that boy so deep into the earth he'd feel heat from the earth's core cooking his body." Cheryl said sharp tone.
"He was crying today." Cassie said looking over at Jason. Jason gives his sister a "I don't give a fuck" look.
"Why the fuck do I care? He caused by baby sister to try and kill herself. I don't care about his apologies, or his fucking tears. He can save them for someone who cares." Jason spits angrily. Cheryl looks at her son with a glare for his language.
"Language young man!" Cheryl shrieks. "Although; I'll have to agree with JJ." Cheryl said with a smile.
Toni giggles. "Cass, what does your heart tell you to do, baby?" Toni looks over at her daughter.
"To forgive him, momma, but I don't know. I don't want to go through that stage again, I don't to have that feeling to hurt myself, and I don't want to put you guys in the situation again." Cassie told Toni. Cassie can go to Toni about anything, Toni is more layback, but she's still a badass mom.
Toni nods. "I know you're only 15 Cass, but if you think Cameron deserves another chance, then that's your decision, but if he hurts you again, I will be the one to skin him alive. I know Sweet Pea, will too, along with Jug & Fangs. I just don't want your mother to kill him, poor child won't be able to see Graduation." Toni said kissing Cheryl's cheek.
"Damn right he won't." Cheryl said with hiss as she rolls her eyes. She can't stand those damn Clayton's especially what Chuck did to Ronnie when they were in school. Archie still wants to kick his ass, but he wants to set a good example for Alana.
"Language mom." Jason said with a giggle. Toni snorts a little earning a smack for Cheryl.
Cheryl glares at her son. "I'm grown JJ, with four kids." Cheryl said with her signature Blossom smirk.
Toni's eyes widen. "Are you pregnant?" Toni asked with worried look. She & Cheryl haven't decided to have another kid.
"No, I'm talking about you, short stuff." Cheryl said giving Toni a peck on the lips. All of them laugh at Cheryl.
"That's not funny." Toni pouts crossing her arms like a child. Cheryl shakes her head at her wife's childishness.
"You are short momma, I mean I have to lift you up sometimes. Remember, you couldn't reach the bowl in the cabinet and Uncle Sweets had to lift you up." Jason said with a laugh earning a playful nudge from Cassie.
"That was so funny. Instagram went wild after I posted that picture." Cassie said laughing with her brother & Cheryl.
"Ha ha. Instagram is going to be laughing when I ground you two. What do you think about that idea?" Toni asked the twins with a raised brow.
"We'll shut up." Jason said as he stops laughing along with Cassie. Toni chuckles, and turns to look at her wife.
"Why are you still laughing?" Toni asked Cheryl with a frown on her face. She knows Cheryl is about to start.
Cheryl snickers. "Baby, you've got to be honest that was funny. It was on Christmas too, which made it even better." Cheryl laughs again wiping a tear from her eye.
The Twins laugh again not caring if Toni grounds them or not. Even, Shyla giggles.
"Not you too, Shy." Toni groans laying down on Cheryl's lap.
"Okay, everyone. We need to go shopping again, because someone ate all the food." Cheryl said looking down at Toni.
"What? It was Jason." Toni said nodding over at their son. Jason frowns.
"Momma, it was not. You ate all of mom's homemade cherry cookies last night. I heard you munching all the way from my room, and the door was closed." Jason said smirking at Toni.
"Antoinette Beatrix Topaz!" Cheryl shrieks as she glares at her wife. Toni takes off running heading up the steps. Cheryl goes after her.
"Momma is going to kill you, JJ." Cassie stands up grabbing her bag before heading upstairs laughing as she does.
"I know. Come on, Shy. Let's go play Mario Kart." Jason picks up Shyla, and heads up to his room.
"Ow Cheryl!" Jason hears from his parent's bedroom, he laughs as he shut his door. He puts Shyla on his bed.
"Ready, muffin." Jason asked turning his game system on winking at his baby sister.
"Yay! Ready." Shyla said grinning as the game starts up. Shyla may be three, but she can kick some ass in Mario Kart. Jason can never beat her, he loves spending time with his baby sister.
"Loser buys the snacks for tonight." Jason said as he picks Mario looking at his baby sister with a challenging brow.
"You're on." Shyla of course picks Princess Peach. Shyla has a couple of tricks of her sleeve when she goes up against her brother. Maybe she can get Jason to buy her a new playhouse for her barbies.
"Hey! You're cheating muffin. No fair." Jason whines as he tries to catch up with Shyla.
"Prepare to by me by cookies." Shyla said with a smirk.
"Not tonight baby sis." Jason said as he continues to enjoy his time with Shyla.
…..
End of this chapter. Cassie will meet someone new next chapter. Jason will get into an argument with Cameron at football practice. Meanwhile, Toni & Cheryl will find out something interesting. Till next time.
