"The party"
I followed Archie to his car and the rest of his friends were sitting in the backseat. They had saved the frontseat for me so sat down in the car and Archie drove to Cheryl's house.
C-"We are playing truth or dare kids, gather around"
A-"Sure I'll start. Betty, truth or dare?"
B-"Dare"
A-" Make out with Jughead"
B-"Easy"
They started making out and I sat there feeling very uncomfortable. I wanted to leave so badly but I couldn't, I had promised Archie to be there.
C-"My turn! Veronica, truth or dare"
I freaked out, what would I pick.
V-"Ehh, dare too I guess"
C-"Fine, kiss Archie"
A-"Cheryl stop it"
V-"I am not doing it"
C-"Why? You scared little girl? You don't think he wants to kiss you? He's cool and you're a nerd!"
Everyone was laughing except Archie who was looking at with a worried look. I was about to start to cry when Archie kissed me. He pulled away and looked at me. In that moment I started crying.
V-"I am sorry, I can't do this"
I ran out of there and ran home. When I got home I laid down in my bed crying. They must have thought I was crazy but I wasn't.
Exactly 3 years ago me and Archie had been at a picnic in the park late at night. We had started the picnic as friends but when I left the picnic we wouldn't speak again in 3 years. We sat there talking and laughing when he leaned over to kiss me. I had pulled away and asked him what he was doing. When he didn't answer I just stood up and walked away which I did regret. The next day I was going to talk to him at school to ask him what the almost kiss meant but when I walked in to the school I saw him kissing another girl. Her name is Valarie, they did break up a few weeks later but it still hurt me. What Archie didn't know was that I was in love with him back then and I still sort of am in love with him.
The kiss at Cheryl's hurt me because it reminded me of the pain I felt back then. What if I had never pulled away, then we might have been together right now. I really screwed up back then and now we aren't even talking anymore. It's all my fault, I pulled away and I was also the one who decided to stop talking to him.
