( OKAY REGINALD )
by jugheadxreaderinyourhead
Your year had started out a little different than the last. With the arrival of Veronica Lodge, and her friendship - you soon found a new confidence in yourself. And while you may have had a little bit different interests than the typical girl in Riverdale, there seemed to be a new glow around you.
Within the last few days in english class, you began to feel someone's eyes on you. And with the pop of your head you would turn around and see no one staring. You shrugged it off while going back to the paper in front of you. However, you swear you could hear the faintest sigh that day.
After class you headed to your locker. You glanced at the inside of it, pictures of your favorite things staring back at you. Some pictures of some poets as well as a small flyer for Star Wars: A New Hope at the drive in, some pictures of friends - Veronica included, as well as mixture print outs of your favorite comics. As far as a small town like Riverdale was concerned - your tastes were a little out of the realm for a typical 16 year old girl.
"Hey Y/N", you peered over the locker door and there was rather a surprised look on your face.
"Um, hi Reggie", you were a little confused at why he was talking to you as he never really did before.
"How's it going?", Reggie had a rather large smile on his face while his shoulder leaned into the wall of lockers.
"...fine", your face still adorned a questionable look. He stared for a second and you interrupted the pause. "Did you want something Reggie?" Your eyes gave a motion of trying to figure out why he was there.
"Umm", within the brief pause his body stood straight up as if he found confidence in his words. Something more typical of Reggie Mantle. "Yes actually. Would you like to go to Pop's later?"
You stood there for a second in slight shock. When you peered over the side of Reggie's shoulder you could see Veronica's face in a similar state of your own, just with an arched eyebrow adorned.
You looked back to Reggie, and without thinking, "why?", slipped out of your mouth.
He was a little taken a back. "Because I would like to take you out".
You now gave an eyebrow towards him. While his reputation was nothing like Chuck's, Reggie had seemed to go for a specific type of girl, something you definitely didn't consider yourself to be. "...Becuase?", your words were still blunt as you were still in a slight state of confusion.
"Well, I've noticed you more lately and you seem interesting and... I would like to take you out". He flubbed some of his words, as this seemed out of character for him.
You thought for a second. "I don't know Reggie...", your eyes went to the floor. You were a little afraid that him asking you out might have been a cruel joke.
"Well, give me a reason why not?", his confidence seemed to come back.
"Because we're VERY different people, and typically your friends make fun of me?", your words seemed to hit him a little like daggers.
"I'm not my friends and I've never made fun of you", he seemed to get a little ticked off now.
"You've also never stood up for me, so no Reggie", you closed your locker and started to walk away.
You looked back and saw Reggie look somewhat disappointed until he caught up to your step.
"Y/N, hold on", he slightly tugged on your elbow.
