Betty sighed, staring at the dreadful paper in front of her. It was a list, a bucket list of things her friends said would be fun. It didn't look quite as fun to the perfect girl-next-door as it did to her friends.

There were 50 items on the list. 50 things to do before college, before Betty left the wicked little town of Riverdale and went to Yale. It was the scariest thing Betty's ever thought about.

There were some easy items, like baking a cake, but then there were hard items like skinny dipping. Betty had no idea if the latter was even a smart idea.

The hardest item of all was placed at the very bottom, and it was the one Betty would for sure be doing last. It was the one she had to pinkie swear to complete, the holy grail of her list. Betty had no idea where even to start with that one. Sighing, she looked up from the list and into the mirror. She had a perfect view of her next door neighbor, Archie's room through her window. Expecting to see the redhead playing his guitar or something, instead she saw Archie and Veronica having sex. Betty grimaced and looked away, getting up to close the blinds. Then she turned back to the dreaded list.

These were the items:
1. Go to a bar and get drunk
2. Go skydiving
3. Bake a cake

Betty had no idea how she was going to do all of these by the end of the summer, along with preparing for college. But if she didn't complete the list, then her friends and would be disappointed. And she couldn't disappoint them. After all, the just wanted to help her have fun.

Making up her mind, Betty pulled out her teal phone and made a call.

"Cheryl?" She said, " I'll do it."
