Riverdale One Shots

Excluded

It was lunch time which meant Betty, Veronica and Cheryl were to meet on the field to practice for the Riverdale vixens.

"Cheryl when did you say the time for me to come over tonight was?" Betty asked.

"Wait she's going over?" Veronica asked jealously.

"I'm sure you can come V." Betty said.

"Look no time for planning! I'll speak to about it later, can we just nail this stunt right please." Cheryl demanded. Betty and Veronica rolled their eyes whilst lifting Cheryl in the air.

Soon after practice Cheryl finally wanted to make plans and actually invite Veronica this time but only because Betty couldn't shut her mouth earlier.

"Okay so be at my house for 6? We can give ourselves a make over before we go out to the party. Sound good?" Cheryl said to Veronica as Betty was in class. "I was going to invite you but obviously I forgot." Cheryl lied. 

"Yup, sounds perfect. What should I wear?" Asked Veronica.

"Just wear what you feel comfortable but definitely something that will distract Archie." Cheryl said.

"I'll try." Veronica smirked.

That night...
Veronica rang the doorbell to Cheryl's mansion.

"Welcome to the blossoms!" Cheryl called as she opened the door.

"Is this okay?" Veronica said looking at her black dress.

"Yes very Veronica." Cheryl said. Veronica walked upstairs to find Betty already there.

"Hey B."

"Hey V."

"So, I've done Betty's make-up so the mirror is all yours." Cheryl said.

"I thought you were going to my make-up too." Veronica said.

"Don't have time V. Me and Betty will be downstairs waiting while you get ready." Cheryl said walking out of the bedroom with Betty. Veronica couldn't believe this was happening again. She was being left out, since she lived in New York she was always the girl that was left out. No matter who she was friends with it would happen. And now history was repeating itself. Veronica sighed trying to hold back the tears whilst trying to do her make-up.

"Ready!" Veronica yelled coming down the stairs.

"Wow you look beautiful V." Betty said.

"Come on! We're going to be late!" Cheryl yelled pulling only Betty to the door. Veronica grabbed her bag and rushed after them.

"Did you see the episode of Project Runway last night?" Cheryl asked Betty whilst they were in the car.

"Of course! I can't believe she didn't win..." Betty went on as Veronica sat quietly in the back not having a clue what they were talking about.

"Did anyone watch the bachelorette  last night?" Veronica said trying to join the conversation.

"Ugh Veronica no one cares about the stupid bachelorette!" Betty snapped.

"I swear if you're going to talk about it all night, get out of the car now." Cheryl added. Veronica nodded whilst again, trying to hold back tears. They finally arrived at the party, Betty got out of the car to kiss jughead whilst Cheryl got out to kiss Chuck. This was another reason Veronica was left out because she was the only one that wasn't in a relationship.

"Hey Veronica." Archie Andrews said.

"Hey Archie, nice party." Veronica said entering his house after Cheryl and Betty.

"Want anything to drink?"

"I'll have a double vodka and lemonade." She said.

"Double? Tough day?"

"Try tough month." Veronica said taking shot.

"Wanna talk about it?" Archie asked.

"I don't want to dwell on the night."

"Come on."

"Okay fine, I just feel excluded from Betty and Cheryl. They leave me out of almost everything. It's almost like Betty has found a replacement of me. Like I wasn't good enough to be her friend, either of them." Veronica explained.

"They don't leave you out, they just relate more to each other. Like for instance they're both in a relationship now. They are going to talk about things like that." Archie tried to assure Veronica.

"Sorry Archie but I know the signs, I've been down this path too many times. I'm not letting myself get hurt again." Veronica said. But has she said that she could see Cheryl and Betty having a really good time together whilst taking pictures of the two them together. She felt a tear roll down her cheek, it hurt knowing that they were having fun without her. She put her drink down, "I think I'm going to go home."

"You just got here-" Veronica walked away but got stopped by Betty.

"And where do you think you're going?"

"Home. I'll see you tomorrow." Veronica replied dryly. Betty didn't understand why Veronica was acting this way.

Veronica finally made it home, her mom was sitting on the couch. She walked over and laid down next to her mom and let it all out.

"What's wrong mija?" Hermione asked.

"Its happening again." Veronica cried.
