Baby project: a bughead story

Play

Jughead POV
The play is today, I know all my lines and have practised everything, but the kiss. Despite me and Betty breaking up, I still don't want to be anywhere near Abby but I will have to kiss her one way or another, in front of everyone.

I'm dressed and ready to go and my dad, Alice and even Betty is back stage.
"Good luck Jughead!" Alice says
"Break a leg son!" My dad says
"Thanks guys!" I say happily
"Betty don't you have something to say?" Alice then says looking at Betty annoyed
"Good luck." She mutters
"Thanks I guess." I mutter back

I don't look at her and I know she isn't looking at me. Alice then says, "Fp let's go Betty stay here and talk ."

Ugh thanks Alice!
We stand there both awkwardly.
"I just wanted to apologise Jughead for talking about arch that way. I hated every moment of it and I was just so angry at you." Betty says still not looking at me but now I'm looking at her
"Thanks Betty. Same here. I hate Abby so much! She's just so-!" Before I finish I get tackled with a kiss by Abby.

"Wow that's better then the first time you kissed me, who knew practicing kissing over the entire month would help!" Abby lies and Betty's face drops.
"Abby what do you mean practicing kissing over the entire month!" Betty says angry.

Why is Abby lying the only time we have kissed recent is just now and that's because she's just tackled me.
"What Abby that wasn't me you were kissing, the only time we have kissed recently was now, and that's because you tackled me!" I yell trying to get Betty to believe me.

"No Jughead it's fine I'm just glad I ended this sooner rather than now, I knew you and her had been kissing and you were just trying to not make me drive of the edge! But Jughead guess what I'm already there!" She yells then walks out the stage area and says to her mum, "I can't do this mum, me and Jughead are over and I'm not watching and cheering him on up there!" Her mum looks surprised, how did she not suspect this? Then Betty runs out.

After that whole Betty drama, I start to think, I'll only fail the theatre part of it not the writing part.
Do I need to be here?

Before I change my mind I'm rushed on stage for my first act.

Betty POV
I cannot believe Jughead! Not only has he been keeping the play from me for months, he's been kissing Abby and still won't back out the play!

I run out the auditorium and sit on the empty floor everyone's inside watching the first act.

Then someone sits next to me, Kevin.
"Hey Betts!" He says
"Hey Kev."
"I heard about you and jug, I'm sorry. And about your........"
"Cuts." I finish him off saying.
"Yeah. Are you okay? Do you want to talk about it?"
"Not really Kev, maybe later. It's just the thought of her and jug kissing makes me sick." I say leaning my head in his shoulder.

We sit there on the floor before I decide to go back in for a bit. Me and Kev sit at the back for a bit.

The scene comes up where jug and Abby have to kiss. I look for some reason, I can't move my eyes, I see the two kiss.

Ugh!
Ew
Argh why am I here!

I stand up ready to go but hear gasps, I turn to see jugs understudy in his outfit.

Jughead POV
I did enough of the play to get a good grade then faked a illness and didn't do the rest.

I don't think me and Betty will get back together because of this but it'll make her and me feel better about this Abby thing.

I decide to go and sit next to the free seat next to my dad, where Betty would have been.
"Jughead boy what are you doing here?!" He whisper shouts
"I backed out, I'm not kissing Abby in front of Betty, even if she didn't leave, I won't ever want to kiss her."
"Now that's being a gentleman boy." My dad smiles and I smile back and watch the rest of the play.

At the end I leave and catch Betty and Kev at the back trying to hide, probably from me. That means she watched the play.

I make my way to Veronica and Betty's room where there is a mini party happening, unfortunately my dad and Alice can't make it but the others will be there which is great because I don't want to be awkward with Betty alone.

Veronica POV
I have set up a mini party to celebrate Christmas and Jughead. This will be the last time we are all together for a while.

Everyone is here Betty and Jughead. I've set up music, food, drinks and games.
