Best Part: Reggie Mantle FF

eight

The morning sun had risen upon Riverdale as Amayla Harris woke up from her sleep. She rolls over and flinches at something warmly burning her skin. It was her burning phone on the charger with Reggie still on the phone.

She remembers now that she and Reggie talked all night and fell asleep on the phone. Amayla walks to the window and sees Reggie getting up from the bed with only his pajama pants on and no shirt.

Amayla looks at the phone and hears some groaning in the background, which makes her blush lightly.

"Hello?" Reggie says.

Amayla grabs the phone and puts it to her ear.

"Good morning," Amayla says as she stretches in her bed. "Did you sleep well?"

"Yeah, I slept well," Reggie says as he ruffles his hair. "You slept well?"

"Mhm~," Amayla moans as she stretches in her bed.

Reggie smirks and goes over to the window and sees Amayla get out of bed.

"Go to your window," Reggie said. "I can see you."

Amayla goes to her window and waves at him.

"I have to go get ready for school," Amayla says as she looks at Reggie through her window. "Talk to you later."

Reggie nods, and as they both hang up the phone, they take the moment to just stare at each other through their windows.

Amayla gets downstairs for breakfast and sees Diana walking towards the door and leaving the house. Amayla goes to the kitchen and kisses Mr. and Mrs. Harris, as she grabs a yogurt from the fridge.

"Amayla honey," Mrs. Harris asks as she pours coffee for her husband. "What's wrong with you and your sister? I noticed some tension.."

"Diana got Vixen Captain after winning some dance battle she made to make the former captain lose during the Vixens Audition yesterday, and she doesn't even feel bad because the former captain lost her brother to a murder last year, and she doesn't seem to care -"

"Amayla, I'm sorry to interrupt, but is this girl named Cheryl Blossom?" Mr. Harris asks.

"Yeah, that's her," Amayla says as she finishes her yogurt.

"I'm taking interest in her brother's case," Mr. Harris said. "But they are still gathering people from that day."

Amayla nods as she looks at the time on her watch. "Well, I better head off to school," says Amayla as she grabs her backpack. "Bye -"

"Wait, sweetheart, who is taking you?" Mr. Harris asks.

"Oh, Reginald Mantle is taking her to school," says Mrs. Harris. "His mother offered since her son has a car."

"I don't feel comfortable with this." Mr. Harris as he sips his coffee.

"Don't worry honey, Reginald is a nice boy; the girls got back home in one piece, and I saw him drive yesterday which he seems responsible for doing."

Mr. Harris looks at his daughter, and he nods as an improved to go with Mantle. Amayla smiles and goes to the door.

"Bye, Mom! Bye, Daddy!" Amayla said as she shut the door.

She turns around to see Reggie right in front of her about to ring the doorbell.

They both smile at each other as they head to the car and off to school.

The class had started, and Kevin, Betty, and Veronica could only talk about what happened yesterday. Amayla sketches in her book until Kevin interrupts the flow.

"Amayla, did you ever get the chance to hash things out with your sister?"

"No, not really.." says Amayla.

"Is everything okay?" Betty asks.

Amayla exhales.

"Well, she got jealous that Reggie took me to Pops -"

"Hold the phone," Kevin says as he stares at Amayla with drama-filled eyes. "He took you to Pops???"

"Yeah, but just to hang out, not like a date or anything.."

"Oh, okay, then nothing serious," says Betty. "Do you like him?"

"Like who?"

"Reggie," says Veronica. "Do you?"

Amayla gulps.

"I'm... I'm not sure yet... I mean, I just moved here, and we just met a couple of days ago.." Amayla said as she wiped her hands with her moisture wipe.

"True," says Kevin. "But be careful, Reginald Mantle is one of the Bulldogs and one of the hottest guys in school besides Andrews."

"And Mantle and Veronica used to go out," said Betty as she looked at Veronica.

Veronica clears her throat as she looks at Amayla.

"It's fine, Amayla," said Veronica as she patted her shoulder. "Me and Reginald are history."

Kevin and Betty nodded in agreement.

"And don't forget about Andrews too," Kevin said as he sharpened his pencil.

Betty and Veronica both glared at him as he looked at the both of them.

"Too soon?"

The girls nodded in agreement.
