"Well Mantle the Magnificent is a jerk"
"You wound me Pussycat"
Gemini was a part of the Pussycats, but she stuck to the back of crowds. She wasn't shy by any means. She watched. She listened. She knew more about people than their own best friends...

"Can't there ever be something you don't already know about?" ~Reggie Mantle

I got to school late. I was fine with that, but I didn't expect to get to my locker only to almost be trampled by Reggie.
"Pussycat!" He exclaims and grabs my shoulders so that I face him.
"Hello to you too Reggie-"
"There's no time for that, guess what?" He speaks. I raise my eyebrows at him, already guessing what he was about to me.
"Cheryl got arrested in suspicion of killing Jason?" I smirk at him as he groans.
"Can't there ever be something you don't already know about?"
I laugh as he follows along side of me as I walk off to our next class. "Well, not with this, Leo is a cop after all."
"Yep, totally forgot about that."
I nudge his shoulder as we enter the class and prepare for the lesson. I flip through my notebook glancing around at the lyrics and music notes scribbled on the page. I sigh rubbing my face. For once I hadn't put on any makeup for school, mostly due to the fact that I had stayed late the night before practicing the notes, and re singing the songs to perfection. It was the reason I was late, and anyone could I was exhausted.
"Not looking too great Gem, what's up?" Reggie questions from beside me.
"I didn't get enough sleep last night, Josie has been stressing us about the taste of Riverdale performance and it's hectic honestly."
"Ah, Pussycat things." He smirks at me as I chuckle quietly.
"Seriously Gem, you need to sleep, you have a great voice trust that." He whispers to me as the teacher begins the lesson. I nod to myself considering his words and turn my attention back to my notebook and flipping to a clean page.

"I'll see you later Jefferson?" Reggie questions as the class lets out.
"We'll see Mantle!" I answer over my shoulder and striding away from the room door t my locker where I deposit my books and move to head over to the student lounge.
I push my way through a couple of girls and into the room. I scan the people before making a bee line to where Betty, Veronica, Archie, and Kevin sit.
"Gemini, right?" Veronica questions as I sit take seat among them.
"Right, and you're Veronica Lodge." I state making her throw a charming smile. It wasn't a secret to who she is, much less who her father is, but unlike most people I didn't care.
