So maybe she and Cheryl weren't the best of friends.
They could've been, obviously, if she hadn't become Betty's best friend, or if she had been patient enough to pass through the redhead's hard exterior. Veronica thinks she could've been Cheryl's friend, not like the fake friend the redhead wanted at the beginning, but actually her friend. She could always see in how much pain Cheryl was, she thinks she would have been able to help her, if things were different.
But the reality was they weren't exactly friends, no. But Veronica had always had a great radar, and she knew a non-straight person when she saw one. She, herself, was not, by any means, straight. And she was from a New York, so yeah, her gaydar was pretty good.
The first time she saw that look on Cheryl's face was when she kissed Betty in front of the redhead.
"Full lesbian kissing hasn't been taboo since 1994."
And she had actually meant that, but the Latina could see something more than boredom in the girl's eyes, was that envy? Or maybe lust. She didn't know, but what she did know was that Cheryl Blossom might not be straight.

Cheryl was touchy.
With girls mostly. Even when she was being a bitch, she would try to find a way to touch people.
When Veronica and Cheryl were – almost, kinda – friends, the redhead was always touching her, it was completely innocent, and Veronica knew Cheryl probably didn't even know she was doing – She would probably stop if she did know – It was almost unconscious.
But it was curious, how she only did it with girls. Not all of the girls, just some of the Vixens.
And Josie.
Oh Josie.
Cheryl stared at her a lot. She tried not to, but it was probably unconscious as well, and as soon as she realized what she was doing, she stopped, looking around to make sure nobody saw her.
Veronica saw it though, more than a couple of times. And although it was cute, it was also really sad. She could see how much Cheryl would mentally beat herself every single time that happened. And if she and the redhead were friends, she would talk to her about it.
But they weren't.
So she just let it go.

"So what did you do on the weekend Kevin?" Betty asked, sitting by Veronica's side after the Latina had told the man in front of them about everything that happened on their romantic weekend that was not romantic at all.
"Oh, nothing. Me and Josie went to the movies, and then we went to Pop's." He shrugged but then his eyes lit up, suddenly remembering of something. "Oh my God, but something really weird happened." Veronica and Betty both waited for him to continue, eyebrows raising. "Cheryl was at the movies, with some Serpent girl, the pink haired one."
"Cheryl? Blossom? In the movies with a serpent? With Toni?" Betty was in shook and honestly, so was Veronica.
Cheryl in the movies with a girl? She saw that coming. Cheryl in the movies with a serpent? That was not believable at all. Veronica vividly remember how many times Cheryl said bad things about the Southside serpents, she hated them.
