perfect family

two

While Betty and Veronica tried out I sat behind Cheryl and her minions, leaning on the wall. I can feel how Cheryl and my friendship is breaking at the moment. After they started talking about Jason and Polly I went out of the Gym.

I sat down on the bench at the footbal field and waited for Reggie and Moose. After a few minutes later, Midge sat with me down, waiting for the boys. They went to the locker room, showered and changed clothes, than they came to us. "Want to go to Pop's?" Reggie asked the couple. Both agreed so we all sat down in Reggie's Car and drove to Pop's. We sat down in a booth and ordered Milkshakes. After an hour, Midge and I made our way to buy a dress. Outside of Pop's stand a few serpents, one of them catch my eyes. He was very handsome. He was like 1.90, black hair and a tattoo on the neck. He looked at me and checked me out, then he winked at me, then looked back to his friends.

Midge and I went after the shopping back to her, together we made us ready and then waited for Reggie and Moose to pick us up. 

In the car we heard Fall out Boy, Midge and I sang to the songs to the songs the whole ride. Reggie took his typical parking spot at school, then opened my door and gives me his hand. We walked into the semi-formal and it was looking really good. The banner with Jason face on were a little bit creepy. I choked on my drink when I saw Betty incoming with Archie and Veronca. That is a weird trio. Reggie laughed about my reaction. 

He and Moose went to the bowl so Midge and I danced together. I saw how Moose poured the contents of Reggie's Flachman in the punch bowl.

"Good evening, friends. Are you all having a good time? As honorary chairperson and de facto queen of tonight's semi-formal it is my pleasure to introduce this evening's main entertainment. To know them is to be obsessed with them. They usually perform their own material, tonight they're making an exception and debuting a cover of the song my parents listened to the night and I were conceived. This one's for you, JJ. I give you Josie and the Pussy Cats." Reggie pulled me on the dance floor when they started to play. "I can never hear this song again!" Reggie said and I agreed with him.

After the dance a lot of people went to the After-Party at Cheryl's house. Betty was here too and that was creepy. She was never the person for something like that. "We're going old school tonight. Seven Minutes in Heaven." I was not paying attention and leaned against Reggie.

 
When Archie and Veronica went into the closet, Betty stand up and goes away. I said goodbye to Reggie and followed Betty. I helped Betty changing in clothes to sleep and then put her in her bed. She was looking so teribble and hurt. After she fall asleep I went to my room and changed my clothes. I took my keys and then headed to Pop's.

I saw Jughead and Archie together in a booth, after some time Archie left, probably to find my sister. The bell above the door rang when I got in to Pop's. When the bell rang Jughead looked up to me, he smiled at me. I smiled back and placed me infront of him, the place where Archie sat one minute ago. I ordered a Milkshake while Jughead started writing again.

When I got my Milkshake, Jug looked up again. "How are you? You know with Jason and your Mom!" I slightly smiled. "You know it's strange without Jason, he was my bestfriend and then there is that my friendship with Cheryl slowly so yeah, it's not so easy.
And my Mum is like usual. She pretends that everything is okay, that Polly is not crazy and Betty didn't changed. The only thing that the same is, is that she ignores me and only cares about Betty." "Your mum is a ass, you know that?" I chuckled. We sat a few hours in his favourite booth at Pop's talking. When I head home I couldn't know what I'm gonna expect tomorrow.

The next morning when I woke up, I found out that Moose and Kevin had found Jason's body that night. With a bullet hole in the head.
I was shocked, the plan was that he come back and not to be dead. And the second interesting thing was, what the hell Moose and Kevin did in the middle of the night at the Sweet Water River.
I didn't want to believe he was dead until they carried his body bag past all of us.
Something had gone wrong with his plan. Cheryl stood on the hill and looked at the body bag. Even when our friendship had deteriorated I went to her and took her in my arms. I felt the tears falling on my sweater, while tears welled up in my eyes too.

By morning, everyone would be talking, texting and posting about it. We'd all be feeling it. But the world around us had changed. Maybe forever. That Riverdale wasn't the same town as before. That is was a town of shadows and secrets now. On monday the autopsy on Jason's Body would take place. And on Tuesday halfway throught fifth period the first arrest would be made.
