Hello! Wow, I haven't been obsessed with a TV show since the Vampire Diaries. But here I am, writing fanfiction for my new obsession.

So here's the first chapter! It's setting up the stages for the coming chapters and it's more or less the introduction of the story and the characters involved! I hope you enjoy it.

"C'mon Vee, you said you were going to the reunion. Cheryl and Kevin are going, so by default you have to go to!" Betty Cooper exclaimed on the phone to her best friend since high school as she paces back and forth in her Brooklyn apartment living room.

"Bets, you know I want to go. Especially to see how a certain dark haired beanie wearing boy will also be attending," Veronica Lodge teased, "But I may have a meeting with daddy about the firm. We're trying to figure out our schedule."

Betty rolled her eyes at Veronica's statement about a certain boy from her past and couldn't help but think about him. It's not like she hasn't thought about him every single day since the last time she saw him ten years ago, but Veronica didn't know that. Well, she probably has an idea, but Betty wouldn't willingly admit it.

Betty let out a sigh, "Fine, Veronica, well if you decide to come, let me know. The three of us are driving together for a mini road trip back upstate. I don't really want to go, but I obviously have no choice."

"I will let you know. And please, you know deep down you want to go, don't use the excuse of having no choice since you were student body president. You have the most school spirit out of all of us. Plus, when you started receiving the RSVPs, it made you even more excited. And I know you want to see him. Archie saw him last week if that makes you feel better," Veronica informed.

"What!? He's back in the states?" Betty eagerly asked.

"Yes, it appears so. Archie said he's back for good," Veronica said, "But Bets, I have to go. I'll fill you in about it later. Love ya! Muah!"

Before Betty had the chance to say anything back, Veronica already hung up. She let out a long sigh and wondered what Veronica meant by he's back for good? It's not that Betty hasn't kept up with Jughead Jones—world renowned writer covering politics, nature, economy, basically anything that's supposed to be important—which she has been keeping tabs on him. Last she knew was that Jughead was living in London, freelancing for BBC while keeping correspondents to multiple publishers in the states. From what she remembered, Jughead hasn't lived in the states for the past 5 years.

Betty plopped herself on the couch, placing her phone on the coffee table, and closed her eyes. Riverdale High's 10 year high school reunion was next weekend. She had no idea what to expect, given she hasn't seen Jughead since her graduation party 10 years ago. But she was Betty Cooper, writer for the New York Times, living in Brooklyn with her friends a subway ride away.

Veronica Lodge decided she wanted to become a lawyer after high school. With everything that happened to her dad in high school where he was wrongly accused of embezzlement and fraud, Veronica decided she did not want that to happen to anyone else. Thankfully, Hiram Lodge was released a week before their high school graduation to be there for his daughter. After high school, she attended New York University with Betty, majoring in pre-law before getting accepted into NYU's law school. Now, Veronica worked for one of the most well-known law firms in New York City, Vander Woodson & Company. Veronica currently lives with long-time boyfriend, Archie Andrews in the Upper East Side.

Archie Andrews, Betty's best friend since pre school, was a well-known music producer for his own record label where the first band he signed was Josie and the Pussycats—their old high school band who got their big break shortly after graduation. Archie still played football throughout high school and even received football scholarships to a couple colleges, but he gave up the opportunity when he was accepted into Juilliard. There was some tension between him and his father over it, but Fred Andrews realized how much music meant to his son.

After Cheryl Blossom's father, Clifford Blossom, committed suicide shortly after they graduated, she chose the path of a therapist. She enjoyed listening to everyone's problems and gave her best advice. Although Cheryl wasn't close to Betty and the gang during high school, they were there for Cheryl through the tough time. Cheryl's brother, Jason who is also Betty's sister's husband, made the tough decision of taking over the family's business. Surprising to Cheryl, Jason actually loved taking over the family business. Through it all, Cheryl became close with Betty, Archie, Veronica, and Kevin. She also went to school in New York, but decided to attend Colombia University. She lives somewhere on Madison Avenue with her boyfriend, Reggie.

Kevin Keller wanted to follow in the footsteps of his father, so shortly after graduation, Kevin enrolled into the police academy. He was now a police officer for the NYPD. Kevin was one of the first openly gay police officers in his precinct. His fellow police officers didn't shut him out like he had originally thought, but instead welcomed him with open arms and caused a couple other police officers to come out as well.

Last but not least, Betty Cooper. A writer for the New York Times. New York University graduate with a degree in journalism. Still kept in touch with her friends since high school. Very still much the girl next door who wears Godmother to the most adorable little three year old twins—Alexandra and Adam—from her sister, Polly Blossom. The relationship Betty had with her mother, Alice Cooper, in high school drastically changed when Polly's kid was born. They were friends, actually the best of friends now. They spoke about once or twice a day depending on how much Alice needed to know what was going on in Betty's life or if Alice was babysitting the twins.

But there was still something missing from Betty's life. She missed him. Even though she knew she shouldn't since he was the one that left her. He was the one that ended what they had—something she thinks about every day, about the what could've been, about the what should've been.

Jughead Jones will always be someone she loves. That would never change. Betty dated throughout college, but none of the guys she met made her feel the way he made her feel. There was no spark. No chemistry. The casual hook ups and very rare one night stands she had never became serious. Veronica and Cheryl tried setting her up on dates, but it never became more than that first date.

They haven't spoken to each other in ten years, given Betty knows that he still talks to Archie occasionally. So she knew that he's doing alright for himself. As much as she wanted to reach out to him after he left for college in California, she couldn't do it. Jughead made no effort either to contact Betty in the past ten years. And she wasn't sure if he ever would.

Betty opened her eyes and looked at the pictures sitting on top of her fireplace. All of the pictures were of her friends and family, who she was eternally grateful for being there post-breakup. They all looked happy. She has pictures from family Christmas parties, birthday celebrations with her friends, everything a girl in her late twenties would want.

"Maybe it's time," Betty said out loud to her empty apartment.

Betty stood up from her couch and grabbed her phone from the coffee table. She pressed the lock button on her phone and it had one notification from a number she didn't have saved into her address book, but she knew that number like it was etched into her memory forever. She slid her finger across the phone screen to see what the message said.

Hey Bets, I know it's been a long while. Are you going to the reunion next weekend?
