Riverdale Imagines and Preferences

Veronica - The Audition

Introvert, a shy, reticent person.

Extrovert, an outgoing, overtly expressive person.

You, introverted as hell.

Your best friend Veronica Lodge, the most extroverted person you've ever been friends with.

I don't know about this, V." Your voice is shaky as you express your feelings to Veronica. You've recently told her that you've always wanted to join the elite River Vixens, but never had the courage too. Of course, being Veronica, she forced your signature onto the signup list with her name a line beneath it.

"You, me, River Vixens. I know we can both get on the team!" She had told you confidently a few weeks ago. You won't lie, you shared some of that bright confidence she always carried on her shoulders but now, standing behind the closed auditorium doors waiting for your name to be called, doubts and worries were filtering in. Fast.

"Y/N, you'll be absolutely fine. A witch like Cheryl Blossom will and won't stop you from doing your best." She assures you for what feels like the 50th time this hour. You let out a breath of nervousness just as she starts to reapply her pink lipstick. You can't help but watch with admiration and..love.

That's right, you think you had a crush on Veronica Lodge. Your best friend. You would die if she found out which is why that very very secretive information is stored inside your deepest, darkest cabinet. Double locked and bolted.

You bite your lip and quickly pull your hair into a ponytail.

"Alright Y/N, this time next week we'll be performing on the football field alongside the Vixens!"

"Yep.." You twiddle your thumbs anxiously and look around at the competition. Pretty, skinny. Vixen material. You look down at yourself and can't help but feel bad.

"Hey." Veronica's voice makes your head lift up.

"Don't compare yourself to the other girls, you're perfect the way you are." She places a hand on your shoulder and squeezes slightly for comfort. You smile and embrace her in a hug.

"Thanks, V. I needed that."

"Veronica Lodge and Y/N Y/L/N." You hear your name called and instantly a dozen more butterflies fill your stomach. You and Veronica walk in to find two brunette girls with Cheryl Blossom herself sitting between them.

"Go, we don't have a lot of time." Cheryl demands making you perk up and look at Veronica.

"Ready?" You nod as she starts counting.

"We're Blue and Gold! We're dynamite! We'll take you down and fight the fight!" You two say in unison whilst performing the choreographed routine Veronica had put together.

"Woo! Go Bulldogs!" Veronica shouts. Cheryl looks at you two with the fakest smile you've ever seen.

"Hmm. No sizzle. No heat. Come on ladies, I expected more from you." She narrows her eyes at you.

"Well, that's because you haven't seen our big finish yet." You look at Veronica with wide, worried eyes. What big finish? There is no big finish!

Cheryl crosses her arms and waits. Suddenly Veronica struts over to you and in a nanosecond has her lips on yours. Everything inside you ignites with a bright, burning fire you've never felt before. She places her soft hand on your cheek and you can feel her smiling against your lips.

The kiss is chaste and when she pulls away, you wipe your lips, fully knowing her dark pink lipstick is staining them.

"Wow, a lesbian kiss? Check your sell by date ladies, that hasn't been taboo since 1994." Cheryl snaps.

"But, Veronica, welcome to the Vixens! You're uniform should be in the front office by 2." She adds with yet another fake smile. Your heart drops at the rejection.

"No." Veronica snaps back. You look at her and through your eyes, beg her to stop. If she crosses Cheryl, she could lose her place on the team. But her eyes aren't on you, they're on Cheryl. And she's mad.

"Y/N and I are a package deal and a package deal only. I don't know if you think your entitled to be a bitch because you're rich and have it all, but there will be a reckoning. And maybe that reckoning is me." You're stunned to the spot by her fearlessness.

"I know you wanted heat, Cheryl, but my specialty's ice. Get used to it." Cheryl looks at Veronica, her scowl turned to one of surprise.

"Two outfits will be available in the front office by 2. Now leave." She says when she finds her voice again. Satisfied, Veronica spins on her heal and takes your hand, leading you out.

"Yes! I knew we would make it!" Veronica squeals once you two are safely out of the auditorium.

"V.."

"Yeah?" She stops walking.

"What was that?" You ask her shyly. She looks confused so you reluctantly clarify.

"The kiss?"

"Y/N, you know that was just to shut Cheryl up. Give her something new, you know?" She asks. "What's has more sizzle than a lesbian kiss between two friends?" She laughs, turning around and continuing to walk.

"Right.." You say quietly. Two friends.
