"Get Out. All Of You Get The Hell Out Of My Room."

- - - -


Rosalie stood in Pop's Diner cleaning the same table, the same spot over and over again. She was in her own world, oblivious to those around her, oblivious to Cheryl who had just approached her.

"Oh Rosie, just the girl I was looking for. I want to tell you something, something life changing."

Rosalie paid no attention to the red haired girl, causing her to frown. "Rosalie" Cheryl spoke softly as she gently touched her friends arm. The brunette looked at the girl and smiled a false smile. "Hey Cheryl, what's up?" "You're distant, more distant than you have been. Has something happened?" Cheryl asked concerned.

A chuckle escaped Rosalie's mouth as she thought how to answer the question. There were so many things on her mind, though one stood out from the rest.

What were the Serpents doing that FP refused to allow his Son's involvement?

It wasn't dangerous? Or at least not too dangerous, was it?

"Are you prepared for Christmas?" Rosalie asked, changing the subject. "Not really, it's going to be difficult without Jay-Jay."

A small smile appeared on Rosalie's face. It was going to be her first Christmas without Jason, without him trying to find excuses to kiss her, not that he needed any. "Yeah, it's going to be strange without him trying to kiss me under the mistletoe." "I'm sure you'll have plans with Leon, perhaps a Christmas Party?" Cheryl asked with a small smirk.

"I think Melanie wants us to have a small gathering, just us and Leon's family. No doubt I'll be doing the cooking" Rosalie replied.

"Understandable, you are the best cook in all of Riverdale" Cheryl said causing the brunette to chuckle. "Thanks."

Cheryl sat on the table where Rosalie had just cleaned. "There's something I've been meaning to tell you."

"Is everything okay?"

"Yes, it's just. I've been offered a position at an exclusive college, full scholarship" Cheryl told her. Rosalie raised her eyebrows, she was confused at the disappointed tone used by her friend. "Isn't that a good thing?" "Yes and no. The work is all online, the only time I go to the school itself, is for exams at the end of each term." "Cheryl, that's amazing. I'm so proud of you" Rosalie said.

"I just wonder if I should accept, or if I should go away for College, away from the disastrous town of Riverdale."

Rosalie hummed to herself. She understood Cheryl's hesitation. Why would she want to stay in Riverdale after everything that happened? Rosalie herself wouldn't know what to do either, especially with recent events.

"If you're unsure, all you can do is weigh out the Pros and Cons. If the Pros out weigh the Cons then you know what to do and vice versa."

A small smile appeared on Cheryl's face. "Oh Rosie, if only you were president, you could solve all our problems." The brunette shook her head while chuckling. "I don't care for half the people in school, never mind the country."

"Sweetie!" Leon's voice boomed through the Diner. "Have fun with crazy feline." Cheryl kissed her cheek before walking away.

Leon approached the girl with Oscar and Fangs by his side. "I missed you, my girl who is sweeter than sugar" Oscar said as he lifted up the girl and span her around. "Oscar!" She slapped his arm and he put her down.
