Twilight, but make it ✨CHONI✨

Chapter 11

High school
Next day

Izzy pops a volleyball in the air, doing practice serves. Angela takes a picture of her, then points her camera around, looking for another shot. Eric studies some fliers advertising the prom.

"Monte Carlo? That's our prom theme?" Izzy asks

"Gambling, tuxedo's, and bond. James- ow!" He was cut off when Izzy head-butted the ball, causing it to hit Eric in the face.

"Oh. My. God." Angela, scanning for a shot, has frozen.

Izzy and Eric look in her direction and past her to see Cheryl and Toni arriving together. All eyes on campus turn to them, filled with curiosity, jealousy, and envy.

"Everyone's staring" Toni whisper's.

"Well not everyone. That guy over ther- oh, nope he's now staring" Cheryl jokes, giving Toni a reassuring smile..

Meanwhile in the forest...

It's a hunting party, several dogs, half a dozen armed men.

"Guys we got something!" Charlie yells to the group.

The deputies hurry to Charlie, the gather around a footprint. The dogs start pulling them in a certain direction.

Laurent stands next to James, watching them. Victoria runs up.

"They took the bait" she says.

"By tommorow they'll be half way to Greendale" james smirks.

Victoria lasciviously grabs James's shirt and pulls him into her.

"I love when men chase me.." she whispers.

Laurent continues to watch the posse with concern.

Pop's diner
Late afternoon

Toni hurries towards the entrance, trying to keep the joy on her face in check, with minimal success. Outside the door, she passes Fangs, hanging out with several of his basketball teammates.

"Yo, tiny. So, you and Blossom?"

She shrugs, non-committal, but can't entirely hide a smile, as she hurries inside to Charlie's table and slides in across from him.

"Sorry I'm late, biology project"

Pop sets a top sirloin steak in front of Charlie, and plate of seafood in front of Toni.

"Ordered you the seafood combo"

"Order one for yourself next time, you should cut back on the steak"

"I'm as healthy at a horse Toni"

"Charlie, you find anything by sweetwater today?" Pop asks.

Charlie's aware of the loggers at the counter listening, too. He frames his answer carefully to keep everyone calm.

"The suspects moving East. Greendale county sheriff's taking over from here. They're putting extra guys on"
