Mercy POV

I wake up to my phone ringing, I squint at the phone and sit up hitting accept.

Phone call:

Me:This better be good.

Ronnie:You missed school, and we are doing our gown sizing.

Me:Wasn't prom on Friday?

Ronnie:It's Monday, Mercy, where are you? I came by your house yesterday but you weren't there. Alex said you haven't been the whole weekend.

I frown and look at my phone seeing the date. Crap, we really stayed in this hotel for two days.

Me:Ugh, time got away, see you in a minute.

Ronnie:We also need to talk.

Me:Okay. See you in a minute.

I hang up and fall back into the pillows and I feel Munroe move around. If he falls back to sleep we can miss the rest of the day.

Munroe:You can shower first.

Damn it. I groan and slide out of the bed he chuckles.

Munroe:You tried it.

Me:Shut up.

Once we're ready to leave we pay for the stay and head to school. Once we make it in we are directed to the student lounge where the office lady is handing out cap and gowns while others are getting theirs sized. I see the swinger couples over on the side.

Ronnie:Look who finally decided to bless us with their presence.

Jughead:Yeah, Betty and I were in the middle of a murder investigation, and we still had the time.

I lean deeper into Munroe's side and shrug.

Me:I was enjoying my youth. You two can continue to be Mac and Harm.

Archie:I'm sure we weren't the only late ones.

Archie:Yeah, well, I didn't think a gown was as important since, you know, I'm not graduating.

Ronnie:We don't know that for sure. And surely Mr. Weatherbee will at least let you walk with us at the ceremony?

Archie:I'm not doing that.

Well he's upset.

Betty:Arch, is something wrong?

Archie:Are you kidding me, Betty? What isn't wrong?

Ronnie:Now, now, Archie, let's get you some water to cool off.

Munroe:Come on, man. I gotta turn in my work for the classes I missed.

They walk off and I look towards Ronnie.

Me:Wanna come with me? Leave the super sleuths to their work?

Ronnie:Yes.

I tell the other two bye before we walk down the hall, Archie and Munroe a few steps ahead of us.

Ronnie:Archie and Betty kissed again... But I think it was more.

Me:He told you?

She looks at me and I shrug.

Ronnie:You knew?!

Me:No, I figured it out when you sung that song. It wasn't my place to tell you but I told Betty to make a move with both of you because you nor Jughead deserve that.
