Another blossom? Jughead Jones x reader

25.✨

It had been 3 days since I had gone to school, Cheryl Would come back and tell me how things are and what's been happening while I've been gone. I've been laying in bed all day, only getting out if Nana blossom wanted anything. One thing that I've been wondering is how are my friends holding up?

Are they okay without me? Have they already replaced me..? Or do they not care that I've been gone. "Hey...can I come in?" Cheryl asked poking her head through my door.
"Yeah sure." I said sitting up and patting the place beside me. "So..how have you been?" She asked sitting down. How have I been? I mean I haven't really done anything since the incident with Kurt. "I'm fine..I guess I've just been stressed about things," I said smiling to her.
She talks about how Betty and Jughead are doing.

"Oh! Archie has been hanging out with Veronica, and as you know Betty and Jug sit with him so they've been sitting together in the student lounge." Cheryl says looking at me, I can tell she's being serious, she would never say anything with the intention of hurting me unless it was true.
"Ah-what?" "Yeah they've been hanging out since you've been gone, I wouldn't think to much if it though. Jughead looks like he wants to kill her," she smiles reassuring me. "Oh thanks,"
"Well I have to go, I'll talk to you later" she smiled hugging me.
Once she left I decided it would be good if I actually left the house and did something productive.

I get changed into a hoodie and a pair of jeans, going outside to tell Cheryl where I wanna we going.
"Nonsense, you're taking my car you're not walking." She says after telling her my plan to walk to Pops. I honestly don't even want to argue so I just gave in and drove to pops.
When I get there I see Betty sitting alone at a booth, most likely waiting for Archie and Jughead.
"Y/n! You're here we've missed you these past couple of days!" Pop Tate smiles handing me my usual milkshake order. Upon hearing my name Betty comes over.

"Y/n!? Oh my god you're okay I thought something happened!!" She exclaims hugging me tightly. "Oh Archie and Jughead are going to be happy to see you!" The smile fades from my face hearing her mention Jughead's name.
"Oh..I'm guessing Cheryl told you.." Betty says noticing my sudden mood change, "Yeah..she did but she told me it was only to see if she was connected to what happen with Kurt," I said looking up to see Betty smiling down at me and nodding her head.

Speak of the devil. Not long after I finish my sentence Archie and Jughead turn up. With Veronica.
"Wh-what is she doing here?" I ask looking at Betty gripping her sleeve, I'm still shook from what happened with Kurt a couple days ago I don't know if I'm ready to see Veronica, especially if she has something to do with this.
"Don't worry I'm sure she's just tagging along so she thinks we're being genuine about wanting to be her friend," Betty says holding my hand.

As they walk through the doors I turn my head away wanting to avoid all contact, Betty on the other hand smiles and tells them she'll be at the booth in a second. "Come on, they've missed you." Betty grabs my hand leading me over to the booth pushing me down so I'm sitting next to Archie. "Betty? I didn't know we were having a plus one." Veronica says in her usual bitchy tone. "Really Veronica? As soon as I sit down." I say crossing my arms looking at her, I'm pretty sure if looks could kill she'd be a pile of ash.

Jughead raises his head to look at me. "Oh thank god you're okay" he says squeezing my hands. I smile telling him I was just a little stressed.
We exchange small talk for a while, completely ignoring Veronica. "So, Y/n how's things at home...you know with the Jason thing?" Veronica says smirking knowing she's hit a nerve. "Really Veronica? Does you say have to be so bitchy?!" I said slamming my hands on the table pushing past Betty out of the booth.

"Nice one Veronica." Betty says following me as I leave Pops.
