Sorry guys for the late updates, My preboards are coming up and my schedule is crazy tight anyways, enjoy! 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Betty looks at the phone and sees that Jughead is calling her. She immediately wipes her tears and looks at the mirror. 

get your shit together betty says to herself and picks up the phone. 

J- hey Betty! I was wondering where you were. you weren't in the first period. 

Shit! I had the first period with him. 

B- Oh! hi Jughead. Yeah, Well... I was just ... my mom called me home, She had to go to the doctors' for a bit you know periods and stuff. 

J- Oh ok, just wanted to check in on you. 

B- yeah, no worries thanks for calling. 

J-don't mention. 

The call ends, betty sighs deeply, and on the other side, Jughead feels something is wrong with her. she never stutters or mix up words. She was the most confident person Jughead had met. 

he wanted to check on her personally. so he ditched the school too and went to Betty's house with some flowers (lilies - Betty's favourite) he rang the bell. No answer, he rang again. At that time Betty was in her room crying her eyes out, her black mascara running down her eyes and all her beautiful makeup smudged. When she heard the bell she was annoyed but she didn't have much choice she wiped her face, still little traces of watery eyes and black lines of mascara were visible. she opened the door and saw Jughead. 

J- hey! 

B- Hi. 

J- You don't look as jolly as I expected of you. 

Betty couldn't say anything, she did not expect him at her home either. She was mad at him and at the whole world. So she went with a little sarcastic comment. 

B- yeah , well you don't expect what people can be at times. 

Unaware of the fact that the comment was made for him and veronica, Jughead chuckled. 

J- Flowers for your mom and you. 

B- thanks, did you want something? 

J- no just wanted to check on you, can I come in? 

B- yeah sure. 

Jughead could see the visible stress she was in. he wanted to ask her honestly. 

J- betty are you sad about something? 

B- No..NO why? 

J- you don't look fine, I mean clearly you have been crying this whole time. I can see it on your face. 

Betty was obviously caught off guard so she couldn't make up a story at the moment, moreover she wanted to be honest. 

B- You... you and veronica, Are you two a thing?
