Not as Different

Chapter 2 Friendship

They walked back to Jugs trailer and turned on IT. "If you get scared I'll protect you" Jug said laughing. "Oh yeah the one who is trying to scare me is also my hero" Betty said laughing. In the middle of the movie Betty jumped and grabbed jugs arm. "How can you watch that" Betty said hiding behind Jug. "I'll tell you when it's over" Jug said holding Betty as right as he can. Betty thought "I wish it was never over I want to keep hugging him. Betty's phone went off her mom texted her.
        "Oh hold on it's my mom" Betty said grabbing her phone. She sighed and threw her phone back down on the couch. "What wrong is everything ok" Jug said looking at her. "Yeah everything's fine my mom just won't be home tonight she'll usually never is she always works at the local newspaper" Betty said frowning. "Oh I'm sorry" Jug said. "No it's fine let's just finish the movie"Betty said.
        After awhile Jug heard snoring. "Betts?" Jug asked as he lifted up his arm. Betty was out like a light sleeping peacefully on Jugs chest. Jugs mind went crazy "should I move so she doesn't feel uncomfortable when she wakes up". "Yeah" Jug thought as he switched off the TV and started to slide away from her. Betty woke up rubbing her eyes. "Hey Jug I think I fell asleep sorry about that" Betty said going off to a doze again. "No it's fine I just moved to you didn't feel weird when you woke up" Jugs thinking that she was beautiful. "It's getting late so I don't think you should go home you can sleep in the bed and I will crash on the couch" Jug said trying to help her up. "Ok come on" Jug said putting covers over Betty. "Goodnight" Jug said.
     Jug woke up the next morning felling better then ever. He walked in the room to check on Betty and she was sound asleep. He smiled and started to make pancakes 2 for each of them. It was 10:00 on a Saturday morning and Betty woke up and walked to the kitchen. "Hey Juggie" Betty said looking at the food. "New nickname love it?" Jug said. "Yes sir" Betty said giggling. "Food will be done soon" Jug said. "Ok sounds good" Betty said before getting a call. "Hold on its v" Betty said. "Hey B where are you" Veronica said. "Oh I'm at... the lake so see ya later" Betty said hanging up after.
    "Smooth" Jug said laughing. "Ok shut up" Betty said smiling and grabbing a pancake. "I should probably start heading home before v and the gang come here" Betty said grabbing her phone and walking towards the door. "Ok I'll see you at school" Jug said.
      When Betty got home she was surprised on who was sitting there on her couch staring at her. "Oh my God don't scare me like that wait what are you doing here" Betty asked frightened. "I bet I know who you were with young lady." "Oh and Cheryl is in the kitchen" Veronica said. "Hi B" Cheryl shouted from the kitchen with an apple. "Really Cheryl I knew I gave you a key but that's my last apple" Betty said teasing her. "Hey hey hey don't change the subject here but the question is are you with the gang boy?" Cheryl said. "Look his a good guy he cares for me" Betty said trying to convince them. "I don't trust him" Veronica said staring Betty down as she sat next to them. "Ok whatever I will just have to prove it" Betty said. "Fine but just friends right?!" Cheryl said. "Yes just friends" Betty said giggling.
    Weeks went by and Jughead and Betty's friendship grew. Archie and Kevin are down for the friendship. But Cheryl and Veronica are still have a so so feeling about Jug. They are all at Pop's and having a good time. "Ok Jug but the real question is how did you and Betty become friends so fast?" Cheryl asked. "To be honest Cheryl I have no clue" Jug said looking at Betty who was slurping down the vanilla milkshake. "Ok I trust you but if you hurt her I will take the honer to beat you untill you hurt like Betty does" Kevin said half joking. "Ok I promise I won't" Jug said.
       They all parted ways and want to there houses. It was the next day at school and Betty and Jug was at the blue and gold working together. "What should we write about this time Juggie?" Betty asked opening a Chromebook. "Umm how about the dance coming up and we could tell people what the theme is going to be like" Jug said tapping a pencil on the desk. "Ok good idea I think the theme is fire and ice" Betty said fixing her iconic ponytail. "Yeah that's what I heard to Betts but I was thinking if you weren't going with anyone do you want to go with me as friends of course?" Jug said. "I wasn't going with anyone so of course I would love to go with you Jug" Betty said grinning.
      A month went by and Betty and Jug are the best of friends. Today was the day they went to pick there outfits for the dance. "So I was thinking you could go as ice and I could go as fire but only if you want?" Betty asked looking at the red dress she wanted. "Ok that's a great idea because I was thinking of wearing this" Jug said. He came out of the dressing room in a blue tux that fit him like a glove.
       "Omg you look great hold on" Betty said pick the red dress and running to the same fitting room. She came out just a couple moments later and a long dark red dress that flowed as she walked. The dress went down to her ankles just short enough to show a pair of Cheryl's red high heels. "The shoes are Cheryl's but she told me that I could use them as long as I don't over shine her" Betty said laughing. "Wow you look absolutely perfect I think you should get it" Jug said getting butterfly's in his stomach. "Thanks but I need to get out of this dress and back into my normal clothes" Betty said blushing.
     She got out of the dress and the high heals. Jug got out of the blue tux and that's when Cheryl and Toni turned around the corner. "Omg no way look it Betty and Jug" Cheryl said pointing to the two of them getting out of there.fittimg rooms. "Ready Betts?" Jug asked. "Yeah we just need to pay" Betty said. "This one is on me" Jug said. Cheryl and Toni was hiding in the racks of dresses trying not to giggle. Jug kissed Betty on her head and put his arm around her as they walked to pay. "I know you are so so about Jug but if they don't end up dating I'm going to lose $20" Toni whispered. "What do you mean?" Cheryl whispered back as she watched them walk out. "I mean I took a bet with Archie that they would end up dating and he disagreed" Toni said stepping out from the racks. Cheryl just laughed, kissed Toni and started to look for a dress.
    Jug parked at the Cooper house and got out to take Betty inside. "Juggie do you wanna stay and play games or watch a movie?" Betty asked putting her dress down on a chair. "I mean only if you have snacks" Jug said laughing and sitting on the couch. "You know I always do and my mom won't be home untill 10PM" Betty said grabbing a bag of unopened chips. "Sweet so what movie do you want I was thinking Daddy's home" Jug said flipping on the TV. "Ok sounds good" Betty said. They watched the movie and laughed. But it was around 9 when Jug want back to his trailer.
     It was the next day... The day of the dance. Betty woke up extra early to go over to Cheryl's to get ready. "So when did you get your your dress Betty and who did you go with?" Cheryl asked knowing all of the answers already. "What is this Cheryl a shakedown but I want yesterday and I was with Jug. Why do you ask?" Betty asked and laughed. "See I knew it was you I went yesterday and saw you paying for everything" Cheryl said doing her hair. "Ok that besides the point but should I do my hair up or down?" Betty asked trying to change the subject. "Down" both Toni and Cheryl said. "Down it is" Betty said reaching for the brush.
    Two hours later they just got done it was Saturday so they were all pretty tired from Friday. The bell rang and Cheryl shouted "I WILL GET IT" stumbling to her feet. "Hi hobo your date is in my room" Cheryl said moving aside to let him in. "Cheryl she is not my date but more a friend" Jug said walking with Cheryl up to her room. "Ok keep telling yourself that" Cheryl said opening her bedroom door. "Hi Betty you look wonderful" Jug said blushing. "Your blushing I knew it" Toni said laughing her butt off. "Whatever Toni" Jug said trying to his feeling for Betty. "Bye Cheryl and Toni see you at the dance" Betty said grabbing her purse and shutting the door behind her.
      Everyone got there and was drinking there punch and dancing. "Just do it Jughead how hard can it be" Jug thought. "Hey Betty do you want to dance" Jug said pointing to the dance floor. "Actually Jug I would be honored to" Betty said giggling and walking with Jug to the dance floor. As they got out there the song immediately changed to a slow song. "Oh that's weird" Betty said looking around at the couples dancing. "Nope Jug chicken out" Jug thought. "Yeah do you just wanna go sit down?" Jug asked. "Yeah that would be best" Betty said trying to hide her frown. "Man almost got them!" Toni said to Cheryl as they danced across the dance floor. Cheryl laughed and kissed Toni and her cheek. "What I want my money" Toni said giggling.  The dance was eventually over and it was time to announce prom Queen and King.
     "And the prom Queen is.... Betty Cooper" Mr. Weatherbee said clapping. The whole room filled with cheers and clapping but Betty was the most surprised of them all as she walked in stage and took the flowers and crown. "Congratulations and the King is.... Jughead Jones" Mr. Weatherbee said. Jug was even more surprised them Betty. He took the crown and walked over to Betty. She was laughing at her friends and waving like the queen she is. "God bless her" Jug thought staring at her. Cameras were flashing for the school newspaper and school yearbook. "Now King and Queen will dance" Mr. Whetherbee said as he started to play the slow song.
     Jug and Betty look at each other faced dropped and not want to dance. They got down and looked into each other eyes while they took the dance floor away. After there song booming cheers and claps came along as the walked off the floor and to there seats. Before they could sit the gym door flung open and a loud voice shouted "GET DOWN AND YOU MIGHT NOT GET HURT". "BETTY" Jug shouted as she was frozen and the only one standing. BANG BOOM BANG. Cheryl, Toni, Archie, Kevin, and Jug screamed at what they just witnessed.
