( BET ON ME ) 
by fairyrink

School had started again, and with that so had the gossiping and the backstabbing. Summer had changed everyone. No, it wasn't just the mysterious death of Jason Blossom, but it was also the puberty that managed to hit someone different every year. But then again, some people stayed the same; just like Chuck Clayton.

"God she's so hot, why does she have to be such a fucking feminist?"

Chuck was the kind of guy who didn't care about his actions or his words. I learned that through experience. So when he started to talk like that, I only liked to see who his next prey would be. My eyes followed his only to land on Y/F/N Y/S/N. She was the type of girl that everyone wanted to date. She wasn't only kind, but also beautiful. Puberty hadn't changed her apart from giving her the glorious body that she now owned.

"Just because she's a feminist doesn't mean that she won't date anyone Chuck." He looked at me with a frown, which was soon replaced by a challenging grin.

"Oh yeah? Then why don't you go and give that theory a try Reggie? I bet you won't even manage to score one date." I smirked, accepting the challenge straight away.

"And I bet that I can last two whole months with her."

"Alright Mantle, loser owes the winner one hundred bucks and lunch for a month." Oh there was no way I was passing this up. Besides, who couldn't resist Mantle The Magnificent?

"Deal."

Reggie had to admit, he had never been so scared to ask out a girl. And as he got a good look at her from across the hall he finally realised what the whole fuss was about. Y/N wasn't just some hot girl, no, she was way more than that. She was intelligent and excelled at every class, as well as managing to be a part of the drama club so that she could pursue her dream of being an actress. But it didn't finish there, oh no, she was also a cheerleader, the co-leader if you will, which gave her the undeniable status of Cheryl Blossoms best friend.

And seriously where did Chuck get off on calling her hot? Y/N wasn't hot, she was a goddess. A goddess that fell from the heavens into this shitty earth and into this even shittier town. Everyone knew that she had the charisma and the talent to get what she wanted but that was really it. And that's when it dawned on Reggie that no one actually knew her. Not really. She was a mystery to everyone, and yet everyone acted like they knew her.

But none of that mattered. No, he had made a bet and of course, Reggie Mantle never backs down from a bet. Especially since it's just asking some girl out.

Mustering up the last bit of courage he made his way to the Y/H/C haired girl who was putting away some books in her locker. He cleared his throat, getting her attention quickly. Her Y/E/C eyes looking up quizzically through her lashes - which he thought was the cutest thing ever - only for her whole head to tilt up to properly look at the tall male.

"Hey Y/N." I smirked at her, whilst also leaning against the lockers beside me.

"Umm hi Reggie? What do you want?"

"I was wondering if you would like to come to Pop's with me after school? You know to talk and stuff?"

"Right. And since when do you want to hang out with me Mantle?" And there it was. The sass that rivalled Jughead's oh so well.

"Can't a guy just ask a girl out with no ulterior motives?" I sighed, great so this wasn't going to be as easy as I thought it was going to be.

"Oh sure he can! Just not someone like you." She fluttered her eyes at me sarcastically and grinned. I scowled, this was definitely not how this conversation was going to end.
