Part 2

Your eyes widen and feel the heat of embarrassment all throughout your body. All eyes were on you. 

"Veronica," Betty whispers, "Y/N isn't out to everyone yet."

"Well, now I am," you said dryly, grabbing your bag and stomping towards the gym doors, teary-eyed.

"Y/N I'm so sorry, I didn't know!" Veronica yelled as you pushed open the doors, walking out with your head down.

"What was that about?" 

Everyone turned around and saw Cheryl. No one answered.

"Nothing? Well then let's get to it! Form a line, bitches."

You walked, well, you ran all the way to Pop's. It was the only place that could cheer you up on days like this. You wiped your tears before walking into the familiar neon-lit diner. 

You ordered a milkshake and sat down at the counter bar, resting your head on your hands. You noticed someone out of your peripheral vision take a seat next to you. A single tear dripped down your cheek and flicked it off before turning to the familiar face. 

"Jughead Jones," you said. 

"Y/N Y/L/N," He answered. 

"Why are you here?" you questioned. 

"Oh, Y/N, you know why I'm here. The question is, why are you?  And why are you crying? What happened this time?" Jughead asked with a genuine sense of concern. 

"Veronica Lodge, the new girl, outed me in front of the whole cheer squad," you simply stated. 

"Holy shit, really? Was it on purpose?" 

"Well," you took a sip of your newly arrived milkshake, "not exactly. Betty told her that I like Cheryl, Veronica repeated it, and everyone heard," you finished, replaying the scene in your head. 

"Did Cheryl hear?" Jug asked.

Your voice cracked as you started again, "I don't know, Jug. And frankly, I don't care anymore. As far as I know, everyone will find out, including my parents. So I'm letting you and Betty know now I love you before I'm killed when I get home."

"Hey."

You turn back to Jug.

"Y/N don't say that. You'll be fine. And if everything isn't fine, Betty and I are here for you, always." 

You try to say thank you to Jughead, but it comes out in a blubbering mess and Jug pulls you into a hug. You pull away and as you're about to go back to your slumped position, you hear the bell ring from the door. 

Jughead whispers, "It's Veronica." 

You don't move an inch.

"Y/N, I want to say I'm sorry. I had no idea, and I didn't mean to reveal you like that in front of everyone."

Again you hear the door ring and turn around, this time it's Chuck Clayton. 

"Oh great," Jug whispers.

"Y/N Y/L/N. I didn't know you liked girls. We should hang out sometime, maybe with someone extra," Chuck says loudly. 

And with that, you were out the door as quick as lightning, not even bothering to grab your bag.
