Fire and Flames

The next morning I get up and get dressed I put on sweet peas shirt and some jeans.

I go into dads office as mom reads the paper I look up to see the Portrait of me and Veronica behind him.

"This most recent incident confirms that the real threat is not the black hood, but the south side and its corruptive forces. Developer and ex-con Hiram lodge boasts that his sodale project will revitalize the forsaken neighborhood, but this reporter speculates Hiram Lodge doesn't want to fix our problems, merely profit from them." She says and puts the paper down

"And right before our open house. Thank you Alice cooper. We can't let anything derail the project. Not Alice not the south side gangs, not some hooded psychopath" dad says

"Ok we'll right now, our biggest problem is capital, we're running out of it and fast" mom says

"I've invited potential investors to the open house the st. Clair's Are coming up from New York." Dad says and a smile spreads across Veronica's face
"Wait. They are? Nicky included I haven't seen Nicky in forever since him and Avery broke up" Veronica says

"Yeah he's a budding music producer, now and his father is king Midas rich we get him to invest others will follow and Avery I know your guys past will that be a problem" he asks me

"Of course not daddy, we left on good terms" I say smiling

"You two wanted a seat at the table? Nick has his fathers ear help us close this show him all the good things river Dale has to offer" our mother asks and I smile and nod my head

"With pleasure" Veronica says

Once I get to school I see Reggie

"Hey did doily get to the hospital just fine?" I ask him

"Uh yeah he did" Reggie says

"Great my friend is coming into town we'll he's my ex but we left off on good terms so I would love for you to meet him" I say to Reggie

"Uh yeah sure, I gotta go but I talk to you later" he says and kisses my cheek and leaves

"Um ok" I say

I go to class.

The next day we go to meet nick and his parents

"Nicholas on behalf of our mother and father, welcome to riverdale while your in town think of us as your corporate concierge anything you need, ask away" Veronica says I walk up and kiss nicks cheek

"How about a better hotel to start?" Nick asks kissing my cheek back and hugging me

"Now now Nicholas it's not the Waldorf nor the plaza but the five seasons like all of riverdale it had its charms" I say

"Two charms, Avery and Veronica lodge" he looks me up at down "as lovely as ever" he says and smile then goes and hugs v and kisses her cheek

After dinner I leave and meet up with Reggie as Archie comes here.

"You have been avoiding me haven't you" I ask him

"No I haven't I've just been busy sorry" he says

"Good cuz it would mean a lot to me you meeting Nick" I say to him and he nods his head "sure"

Soon I head home and go to bed

The next day I wake up and get dressed and head to school I see Nick standing with Betty and v and Archie as I walk up everyone walks off

"I'm having a party tonight will you come at 10?" He asks me

"Of course Nick as long as I can bring my boyfriend Reggie" I say
