||EIGHT - LA BONNE NUIT||

Jayda's POV

I headed over to Cheryl's, and it was Toni who answered the door. She beckoned me up to Cheryl's room, where Cheryl was waiting.

There was a two-piece black outfit. The top stopped above my stomach, and had mesh lining at the top, revealing my cleavage. The skirt was high-waisted, leaving a small gap between the top and skirt, revealing a small part of my rib tattoo. The skirt also had a split up the side.

I got changed in the bathroom, and then came back out into the bedroom. Cheryl and Toni's mouths dropped when they saw me.

"Oh, my God. You look amazing!" Cheryl states. I look in the mirror.

"Really?" I question, and look at the dress in the mirror.

"Yes. Girl, you look great!" Toni says. "You're gonna get a lot of attention if you wear that." I smile at her, and then we set off for the speakeasy.

I didn't want to be a third wheel, so I drove separately to the two girls. I'll just have to spend my night with Fangs - I'm not complaining, he's one of my best friends - as he's the other third wheel.

I step into Pop's, and see that there's a line of people waiting to go inside. I stand, waiting for my turn, and then Reggie comes over to me.

"Veronica's orders, she needs to speak with you." Reggie tells me. He leads me past everyone, and I go down the stairs where the party has already begun.

Then I see him. He's talking with Fangs, and then he looks up. We lock eyes, and he looks me up and down. I turn away from him, breaking his gaze, and over to Veronica.

"Ronnie, Reggie said that you wanted to talk to me." I greet her.

"Yes. I was wondering if you wanted to perform tonight." She asks me.

"Really, me?" I ask her.

"I already have Josie performing, but, I would love to hear you perform for us. Please say you'll do it." Veronica practically begs.

I give her a small smile. "I'd love to."

"Great. What song are you singing?" She asks me.

"An original. I've been working on it for a few weeks." I answer.

"That's great!" Veronica says. "Kevin will call you up later tonight. So, in the meantime, have some fun, and socialise." She walks away to check the bar.

I spot Jughead and Betty, so I walk over to them, and sit at their table.

"Hey guys." I greet them, and they look at me. Jughead for some reason had blue lips. "Why do you have blue lips? Did you try and kill yourself like Dilton did? Please don't tell me--"

"Jay. Relax. I'm fine." Jughead says. "It's part of a game." He then begins to explain the concept of the whole Gryphons and Gargoyles game.

Then, our conversation is cut short, when Kein goes up onto the stage.
