It was the next day and I was showing that sage girl around the school , and then the bell rang "what's you're schedule by the way" I asked , she had only like two classes with me "oh , bummer anyways our first period is just down the hall ,
It was lunch time and I walked to the register to check something , when I saw all the drawers and papers scrambled all over the place , as a I frantically spent my whole lunch period trying to re organize it while also wondering who wanted to go out there way to ruffle up a few re printable papers , until I check any and every file that was made for Reggie mantles memorial was missing , I check the computer to see the files gonna as if they never existed , witch shook me up a bit until I decided it could be scrambled up with all the other papers , knowing it wasn't , I walked back to my locker a few minutes during passing period , and I saw it bombarded with a crowd that got bigger and bigger bye the seconds surrounding my locker , I managed to push my way through and I saw my locker , all the remaining news papers of Reggie mantles articles stuck to my locker along side some blood looking substance with a pocket knife stabbed through the air holes of the locker , when I Finally got to the front of the crowd I saw jughead trying to take down the papers , he grabbed my arm and tried pushing me away "don't touch me" I said before I grabbed the knife and on it was engraved , "secrets" I folded back up the knife and stormed out the crowd , jughead followed me right up to mr weather bees office , i out the knife on his desk , "I'm already checking the cameras" he said , I nodded , after a few minutes of sitting in silence he said , "it's like the whole tape from 4th period tell lunch is all missing" he called the police but the most they could've done was file a complaint that would end up in the bottom of a drawer somewhere .
After school I was at home , scrolling through Instagram until i checked my request , tons of creepy old men until I saw a account named , all_youre.secrets___ "I know you're deepest secret Betty , make you're next move wisely" I frankly deleted it but every time I tried it would pop up again , " until I gave in And eventually accepted it , "and what's that." I asked , " you pick , either expose you're friend Veronica lodge , or you're very own boyfriend " "I'm not gonna feed into you're sick addiction" "whatever you say ,Elisabeth ." I assumed it was some internet troll profiting off of what happened earlier , but that thought would be proved incorrect just the next day ,
It was around lunch the next day , everything felt , normal , after what happened yesterday and it was confusing to me , until I walked into the cafeteria and everyone started staring at me " I sat at jughead table to see him staring directly at me , "do I have something on my face" I asked , he grabbed my arm and directed me to the register , he showed me his phone , I saw a picture of my neck , that I hadn't ever even seen and I read it in disbelief, "looks like Betty cooper has been skipping on meals ☠️ , not to mention her dropping the knife , ON HERSELF !! 😈 .
And can't forget her going crazy and going to the loony bin for 3 whole months XOXO and never forget , I'm always watching , not only you Betty , new victim tommrow " I sat on the chair and buried my face ,I kept repeating "I'm fucked I'm so fucked " "this doesn't have to be the end of the world Betty" "that's east for you to say , everyone's here's always kissed up to you but I worked so hard to build whatever thing I've got d , to finally have closure , and now I'm just bar-code Betty" "to be fair , they didn't mention you're dad, that's a plus" "you're not being helpful right now" I said ,"sorry" "I don't want my past to dictate my life , especially the things that others did to me , helpless girl , always the victim " I said , "I know basically every aspect of you're life and I don't look at you and see only a victim" "not everyone is like you" he nodded , then the bell rang "I'm gonna skip this period " "want me to stay" I shook my head "no I'm good , I'll see you after school "
I was laying in my bed scrolling through my messages , all very mixed , some bullying the shit out of me and some trying to be weirdly supportive , I decided to post on my story , "I've battled a eating disorder and I have seeked treatment since , I'm not a suicidal person and I would never do what's on my neck to myself , not that it concerns any of you but you're petty jokes don't effect me" after that the messages turned somewhat, supportive , not that I wanted it . then I got a text , "I told you Betty" the same mystery man from today , "you don't intimidate me" "no , but I will" , "what do you get from this" I asked , "oh I get nothing , besides the joy of this world to be free of secrets , and if not this world than maybe one school at a time " they said before they went completely went cold turkey on me ,
The next day was a waiting game to see what would happen , everyone at school sorts just , stared at me , it was like I was a walking trigger for them , until lunch time I was in the cafeteria when everyone's phone suddenly dinged and everyone picked up there phone to look , it was another post , this time about jughead , "looks like even the golden boy has got his secrets" I swiped to see a blurry video , i Couldn't a hundred percent make out what it was , and then I realized,it was him kissing another girl , and the next slide was just a picture of me and him , smiling at each other , I stormed out the cafeteria and went to the yard , I sat on the bleachers and buried my hands in my hair and tried to contain my sadness , then I felt a hand on my shoulder , I turned and saw sage , "hi" she said , "hello" "I'm assuming you saw the video they posted about you're boyfriend " I nodded , "that must really suck" "I know , how have you been holding up with you're whole mom situation" "I've been well" she said right before she looked down to her watch "I've got to go to this book club in the auditorium" I nodded , "ill see you later" I lit a cigarette and put on my sunglasses , I sat there for the whole lunch period , few people tried walking up to me and got completely ignored , and when the bell rang I felt a tiny water drop fall on my face , I looked up to see the sky a dark blue shade , meaning it was gonna rain really hard , I didn't want to go in so for a half of another period I sat there , getting drenched , when I saw someone open the door , I looked back down until I heard them sit right next to me , and suddenly the rain stopped hitting my skin , and I looked up to see a umbrella covering my head , "I'm assuming you saw the video" I left no reply , it was so cold outside that you could see my breathe , "I know you're just gonna ignore me" "so why bother" I whispered before I took off my sunglasses and revealed my very red swollen looking eyes , "got something out of you" "other besides the tears" "I never wanted to hurt you" "so instead you lied to me " "if you didn't know there would be nothing that could've hurted you" "thank you so much for putting my feelings into consideration " I said sarcastically, "one time you told me that people don't belong to people , and I think that is one of the biggest lies you've ever said , I think that you belong to me and I belong to you " I looked over to him "you're getting drenched sit closer" I said , "is that all you really have to say " "I don't want you getting sick" "I was at one of veronicas party's , and she walked up to me , and we talked for a little bit , and suddenly something snapped in her and she randomly just kissed me and walked away like nothing happened" I was walking down the hall and I heard this girl whisper to her friend , "poor Betty first she's like super not up there in the head and now she just got cheated on" I said before I broke down , "everyone looks at me like I'm not a fucking human" I said while crying , I hid my face with my hands until he grabbed my hand , I put my head on his lap and eventually felt so drained that I fell asleep , in the yard , while it poured rain .
