I stood with Cheryl at her locker as she talked about her new plans for the River Vixens routine, but I wasn't paying attention. My mind was wandering, my head a mess of thoughts about what I was meant to do.
I could have my best friend back. I could rejoin the group I regret leaving so badly. But it would make my school experience hell. I've seen how badly she's willing to treat people.
"(Y/n)! Are you even listening to me?" Cheryl asked, slamming her locker closed and facing me.
"Sorry I'm just a bit tired." I replied, I couldn't exactly tell her the reason I was so distracted.
"Well snap out of it. You need to bring your A-game to this practice today, I mean it. See you there, 10 minutes." She said, walking past me and down the hall to the bathrooms. I sighed and began walking to the hall where we would meet for practice.
On my walk there I allowed my mind to wander again as I thought back to the events of last night. I'd broken. I hadn't meant to. No one's supposed to know if I'm hurting. That's what Cheryl always said. But the feeling of Jughead's arms around me had given me a sense of comfort. It was almost as if I could drop the act Cheryl had thrown at me and be myself again instead of the cold hearted bitch she'd tried to turn me in to. He brought out the old me, the me I wished I still was.
I was snapped out of my thoughts as I walked straight into someone, knocking myself over. I prepared myself to hit the floor but instead felt a strong hand grab my arm, stopping me from falling to the floor. I look up to meet the eyes of the beanie wearing boy who had me so distracted.
"I- sorry I wasn't paying attention and I just-" I said, standing up quickly and fixing my hair.
"(Y/n) it's fine. Are you okay? You looked upset?" Jughead asked me, looking concerned.
"Yeah I'm fine. Sorry. I've got to go." I said, gathering myself and my thoughts as I continued walking to practice. It broke my heart the way I shrugged him off, but I kept looking straight.
*****************************
"Good going ladies, the routine is really starting to look good for once. See you's tomorrow. Same time, same place. Scatter." Cheryl called, dismissing the practice as the bell went for the end of the day."I totally wanted to go out later but I've got a mani pedi and spa treatments booked for tonight, which I totally need after the stress of making these guys look good, see you tomorrow doll." Cheryl said as she walked out the hall.
"Bye." I muttered, picking my bag as I walked out the school and towards Pop's. I seemed to be spending a lot more time there, it was like an escape.
As I walked in the diner I nodded to Pop's as he went to get my usual milkshake and fries. I saw an empty booth in the corner and went to sit down, putting my head on the table. I was lost in my thoughts when I suddenly heard a voice, making me jump.
"Pop's asked me to bring your stuff over. Can I sit for a minute?" I looked up to see Jughead sitting a milkshake and fries down on the table in front of me. I couldn't exactly turn him away.
"Yeah sure, if you want." I said, trying to plaster my best fake smile on. It was the middle of the week so the diner wasn't overly busy, I didn't have to worry about one of Cheryl's other minions seeing me with Jughead. I had hoped Jughead would believe the smile I had on, but I should have known that Jughead of all people would see through it despite all the time we'd spent apart.
"(Y/n), are you okay? I'm worried about you. Today in school you looked lost, like your mind was elsewhere. What's going on? And I know you have no reason to tell me, but I also know that you wouldn't ever confide in Cheryl, you're smarter than that. Just please, talk to me." I looked at his face, he looked genuinely concerned as to if I was okay or not.
"If I'm honest Jughead, I don't know. My head's a mess. I-I don't know what to do." My voice broke as I tried to put how I was feeling in to words. I looked down at my lap, feeling my eyes well up with tears. I breath deeply, trying to push them back before I feel a presence move and sit next to me.
I feel warmth as an arm is wrapped around me. It was the warmth that gave me a sense of comfort and security. I place my head on Jughead's shoulder and let myself cry, my head still a mess of confused thoughts about the boy I couldn't seem to hate.
