Forever And Always

Chapter 32

The next day Callie sat in the student lounge as Josie and The Pussycats performed for Nick St. Clair. He was an old friend of Veronica's from New York. Everyone clapped when the song finished. 

" You Pussycats are pearls before the swine of Riverdale," Nick complimented. " You all have to come to the party I'm hosting tonight in your honor. Let's say ten o'clock, my hotel at the Five Seasons."

"Did somebody say party?" Cheryl asked as she stood in the doorway. She walked over to Nick. " Him there. I'm one of Riverdale's Resident It Girl, Cheryl Blossom."

" Who is the second?" Nick asked.

"My mini-me of course," Cheryl answered. " Callie Andrews. " She gestured to Callie, and Nick then turned and looked at her before back at Cheryl. " Anyways, you must be Veronica's old school chum I keep hearing about."

"Nick St. Clair," Nick introduced himself as he shook his hand, he then walks over and to shake Callie's hand.

"Now that's a name I can get behind," Cheryl stated. 

" Ten o'clock, you said?" Callie asked.

" I'll be there at 11: 00," Cheryl confirmed. Callie looked up to see Betty pass, she made eye contact with Archie and he went after her. Callie then got up and went over to the vending machine.

" Are you going to the party?" Veronica asked walking up to her.

" Who is all going?" Callie asked.

" The usual," Veronica answered. " Including the Pussycats and Reggie."

"I think I will pass on this one too," Callie answered.

" This is the second party you missed," Veronica stated. " First time you were sick aka avoiding Reggie, and now this. I am starting to think you do not like, my own boyfriend's sister does not like me" She started to leave. 

"I would love to go," Callie said as she grabbed Veronica's arm to keep her from leaving. " But last time I was too upset about Reggie...and this time...I don't think I can face him right now."

" You can't let his appearance stop you from having a good time," Cheryl said as she walked up to the two. " You love parties, Callie."

" It's fine guys," Callie assured them. " I was the one to end things, but I still need my space from him."

" We will do a girls only night soon," Veronica suggested. " And you better show up."

" As long as he is not there, I will be there," Callie confirmed. Veronica soon left with Nick to go talk to Archie and Betty.

Later that night while everyone was at the party, Callie was working on the voice thing. She came close to cracking it when she heard a knock at her window, she looked up to see some serpents standing outside. Callie went over and opened it,

" What are all of you doing here?" Callie asked. 

" We wanted to hang out with you," Fangs stated as they climbed in.

"What are you doing?" Toni asked.

"My homework," Callie answered. 

" Well stop doing your homework," Toni demanded. " We came to spice up your night. Is your brother home?"

"No, he is at a party," Callie answered.

"Awe did little Callie not get invited?" Sweet Pea mocked.

"I was invited, but I didn't want to go," Callie answered. " One of Veronica's snobby friends from New York is in town."

"Well, let us go chill in the garage then," Fangs suggested.
