Prologue

Riverdale High, a place where sports are the biggest priority and where jocks and cheerleaders ruled over the other students. The school always had the best quality equipment for those who were apart of the athletics department and the announcements for pep-rallies and football games were non-stop, hyping the students up to show their school spirit at all times.

To you the hectic activities sent your brain spiraling and you tried to avoid the busy life that came with being athletic but unfortunately there was no way that your talents would stay hidden.

Cheryl Blossom had begged and pleaded with you for weeks to join as co-captain of the cheer squad before you finally caved in and joined the River Vixens. Cheryl was thrilled to have you beside her and she bragged to others that the two of you were in the same ballet class for years and that she could spot your talent from a mile away. Secretly, you were also happy that you were able to become closer friends to the red headed bombshell.

Soon enough you were being asked out by the super cute football player that was Reggie Mantle. He also needed time to convince you. He ended up sending flowers, cards, and sweets to you every single day for a month before you said yes to a milkshake at Pop's. After that date, the two of you were dubbed "End-game" by the student body and those that dared to try and flirt with you ended up having to face Reggie when he found out... and he always found out. Everyone was enjoying life but that was before Jason Blossom's murder...

It was a year after you had started the cheer squad, the new school year had started and everyone was on edge and gloomy. A lot of things had changed in the past year, you and Cheryl had grown to become best friends, you and Reggie were still going quite strong, Veronica Lodge started attending Riverdale high, her and Betty Cooper joined the cheer squad soon after school started, and Jason Blossom was murdered.

End Prologue

It had been a couple of months since the start of the new school year and you were walking out of the gym to grab lunch with Cheryl and some of the other River Vixens when you spotted your boyfriend talking to Veronica Lodge. Now you weren't necessarily the jealous type but something felt off to you, especially the way Veronica had placed her hand on your bicep and threw her head back with a very over exaggerated laugh. You quickly glanced away and looked at Cheryl who had her eyes narrowed at the flirtatious interaction, grabbing her arm you pulled her towards the cafeteria.

"Y/N what are you doing! Didn't you see that?" Cheryl just about screeched.

"I know but I am going to ask Reggie about it later, I don't think he would do anything." You said, a little unsure in your own words. Cheryl mumbled a quick "he better not" along with a threat that you chose to ignore. Quickly, the two of you were focused getting your lunch instead of letting what you saw get to you. You knew Reggie and you knew that while he used to be surrounded by girls, he wasn't a player and you hoped that your relationship status wasn't going to change anytime soon.

You still had two classes after lunch was over before you were going to be able to talk to Reggie. Your anxiety started to increase as the clocks ticking went on, you and Reggie had never had to talk about this kind of thing before. when you first started going out guys were too scared to approach you let alone publicly flirt with you and Cheryl had scared off any girl who even thought about trying to get near Reggie. You smiled, remembering how protective Cheryl became of you after you two became closer. She would have never let anyone spread rumors or hurt you without causing havoc.
