Riverdale High

Chapter 7

   Luckily, we had planned this to be on a Friday night, so there was school the next day and thank god for that, I was so hungover I couldn't describe the agony I was in, my head.

   Chris and I were he last ones to get up and go downstairs. Good thing my parents still weren't home. We walked downstairs to see everyone sitting around the dining room table eating pancakes.

   "Where did you get those?" I asked, I inhaled the tantalizing aroma of the pancakes that wafter around the room.

   "I made them." replied Bucky

   "Well," I said as I sat down on Chris's lap and dug into a plate of pancakes "did everyone sleep alright?"

   Everyone murmured in agreement and shook their heads. I turned to face Poppy and Bucky, Poppy was seated in between Bucky's thighs with her legs crossed.

   "So what did you two get up to last night?" I said to Poppy as I waggled my eyebrows up and down.

   "We just talked..." Poppy said her face was reddening

   "As girlfriend and boyfriend usually do."

   The whole gang stopped, most of us gasped and some squealed, that would be Alice.

   "You guys are.." I said pointing to the two of them

   "Yeah, we are." Poppy said blushing

   Everyone squealed in excitement, the chatter then resumed back to its normal volume and the excitement eventually subsided, however, I was not done with pestering Poppy to find out ever single last detail about last night.

   I was so full, after I had had some pancakes, even though I split them with Chris. Chris and I decided to head upstairs, so we could get dresses and ready, seeing as the others were.

---

   I turned on the shower and let the fresh water trickle down my back, I washed my hair and body and then rinsed off. A little bit into my shower, Chris came in and joined me. I was almost finished, so I gave him a quick peck and walked out to get dressed.

   I out on some very casual attire, a small white skater skirt, a pink crop top and my holographic back pack. Chris came into my room a little while later and got dressed too, we soon headed downstairs again, began to decide on what we were going to do.

   In the end we decided to go to the mall and then playground - don't judge

   We spent about 3 to 4 hours shopping in the mall, to much to the guys displeasure. We happened to come across other mutual friends within the mall.

With our hands full with shopping bags, we headed to the cars. I went with Chris, Emily and Tom and Poppy, Bucky, Lucas and Alice went together and Minty and Tony took Tony's car. Then we all headed out to the local playground.

   We sat on the grass, well I sat on Chris's lap because I absolutely hated sitting on grass. I grabbed out the box which had everyone's lunch inside it, I distributed the sandwiches and everyone started to gobble them down. Did I really make them that good? It seemed that way. Chris went over to have a conversation, but left me his jacket sit on. I started to chat with Emily about her night last night. It seemed that she enjoyed it and that her and Tom got closer. Which I found very sweet as it was soon their 10 month anniversary. She didn't know if he had remembered about it but I assured her that he would.

   Poppy and Minty seemed to be having a conversation that seemed pretty important so I shuffled over on Chris's coat towards them, Poppy immediately stopped talking and Minty looked at me guiltily.

   "Is everything okay?" I asked

   "Yeah everything's fine!" Poppy said in a high pitched voice, she was lying, I could tell.

   "What you talking about?" I asked

   "Just University choices." Poppy responded abruptly

   "Have you sent your forms to Harvard?" I asked again

   Minty looked at Poppy, then Poppy looked at Minty.

    An awkward silence lingered in the air.
