( ENCOUNTER ) 
by mantleismagnificent

Living in Riverdale, that's a tale to tell. Life in a small town, one would think that it would be like in the movies and TV shows. The perfect quiet place with the perfect people.

It wasn't, at least not anymore. It was quiet but the whispers made their way around. It was quiet because it hid so many secrets and as for the people we were far from perfect.

Although its imperfections you loved the place even though you'd never actually confess it out loud.

Life was simple for you, you were a River Vixen in Cheryl's cheerleading squad, you were single, and your parents well they tried their best to be updated on your life.

After the memorial pep rally for Jason you made your way to Cheryl's after party. You didn't want to, but Cheryl was your friend and she needed you now more than ever. You may have been viewed as popular because you were a vixen, but you weren't as stuck up as plenty of the other girls.

You made your way next to Betty and Veronica hopefully to relax with them and ignore the whole scene. Suddenly Cheryl decided everyone should play seven minutes in heaven.

You weren't fond of these games especially because Cheryl always tried to play some sort of angle, and she did.

"Okay, your turn (Y/N)" Cheryl gave you a smirk after Chuck and some girl walked out of the closet.

"Fine" you mumbled as you spinned the bottle as it landed on the one the only Reggie Mantle.

You sat there frozen until Cheryl grabbed your hand and the guys pushed Reggie in the closet with you and closed the door.

This encounter with Reggie made you a bit shy, you seen him before of course. He is the Captain of the football team, but this encounter it just felt different. and from the looks of it maybe this encounter would be different for him too.

"Uh, Hi" you spoke to Reggie who was staring at you as you placed a bit of your hair behind your ear.

"We don't have to do anything if you don't want to" The tall boy confessed.

"What?" you questioned him, since you heard all the stories about Reggie Mantle and secretly you had a thing for the football player "I mean, I'm surprised is all."

"Yeah I get it, you've heard the rumors, who hasn't" Reggie spat even though at that moment he wanted to kiss you. Ever since 8th grade he had a thing for you, but rumors spread and he'd never thought he could get a girl like you.

"I'm sorry, no I- uh" you felt bad, you'd never seen this side of Reggie before. He looked vulnerable and that intrigued you even more.

It took every ounce of courage in your body to do what you did next.

You stepped closer to the handsome figure standing in front of you, stood on your tippy toes and placed a kiss on his lips.

Reggie a bit shocked at first, but placed his hands around your head and leaned in closer for the kiss. It was passionate, and a bit sloppy at the end.

As you pulled apart you both fixed yourselves up and kept looking into each other's eyes.

Cheryl announced the time and opened the door and grabbed you by the hand.

"Um, I'll see you around" was the only thing you could get out before Cheryl pulled you out.

Then her plan was back on track.
