You’re pretty glad the universe doesn’t make a habit of responding.

When the invitation had first come in the mail, you weren’t sure whether or not to be delighted or worried. Cheryl had been posting about the engagement for weeks now, and though she’s the only one left of your college friends, you still didn’t expect to get one.

It comes regardless, in a neat white envelope.

The card is pretty. Cheryl’s smiling on the outside, arm wrapped around Josie McCoy. On the inside, the date and location are written in simple letters. The whole thing feels like it should be more intense, since you figure that Josie and Cheryl are the most intense and dramatic people you know, but you guess that the minimalistic style is intense.

Or, alternatively, they couldn’t agree.

It doesn’t matter. All that matters is the lessening of the weight in your chest–Cheryl still wants you at her wedding.

You pull out your phone, nerves still buzzing with excitement. Cheryl still cares about you, and maybe Josie, too, and maybe–maybe that can be enough. Putting the thought aside, you decide you should text her.

veronica lodge (3:14 PM): congrats!!!!! u guys are so cute cheryl blossom (3:15 PM): ok rvsp first then congratulate me

There’s something so Cheryl about the way she responds that you almost want to laugh. It’s a familiar feeling, texting Cheryl, something you haven’t done in a couple of years. To be honest, you haven’t spoken to anyone from Riverdale U in years.

Not after Betty.

🎂: I feel happy when I see you in my notifications

🎀: You’re a gift to this world.

🐣: You’re an angel. 

💤: I have a platonic crush on you.
