Betty Cooper.
Who was Betty Cooper?
A good question.
If you would ask anyone on the Northside, they would say that Elizabeth Cooper was the perfect girl next door. A straight A student, always helpful and kind. All good, no bad sides at all.
But that wasn't enough for her.
She wasn't happy there. It wasn't what she wanted. She was never that person, she never will be. So she decided to change, finally live out that true part of herself. The best and easiest way to do that was to join the Southside Serpents.
Who was Jughead?
To anyone on the Northside? A scum. Just someone, who got lost while growing up and now caused trouble by leading the Southside Serpents. He was 17 now. Maybe a little bit of a jackass sometimes, but only at school. When he was sure that he was around people, he could trust, than he was semi nice. Okay, maybe he did play with a few hearts.
But that time was over once he got to know Betty Smith. Now, a year later, she was on her way to be Serpent Queen, once Jughead was 18. But that only was a couple of months away, so who cares?
Elizabeth Cooper and Betty Smith were the same person. Jughead sadly did change, depending on how she met him. On the Southside he really was this caring boyfriend, protecting her and all. On the Northside however, he was not. When she met him there, it wasn't that good... he might say some mean stuff from here to there or start rumors.
That's why she changed, so that he wouldn't find out. Because if he did, she didn't know what he would do.
But she was Betty Smith by now, somehow.
"B? Are you even listening to me?" she asked, Veronica asked, waving her hand in front of her face. Betty just hummed, even though she didn't hear anything. Veronica sighed "Mr. Weatherbee just announced that Southside High got shit down and that we should welcome them"
"What?"
"Yeah, some students eventually transfer here next week" well, that couldn't happen, this would be an absolute catastrophe. It couldn't happen, not at all. Jughead would come then. He would sooner or later put one and one together and figure it all out. Toni, Sweat Pea and Fangs were the only ones, who knew both sides of her. And that happened on accident.
"You okay? You're pale..." Veronica asked, bringing her back. Betty just nodded.
"Yeah- yeah, I uhm... I gotta go"
"You sure that you're okay?" she just hummed, getting and then walking out, making a bee line to the bathroom. After locking herself in a stall, she just turned around and opened the lid before throwing up.
Once her stomach and mind had calmed down, she flushed the toilet and then got up. After fixing herself at the mirror again, she exited the bathroom and then walked over to her locker to get her books.
School went by fine.
After it, she walked to Pops. Of course Jughead had to be there. She sighed, walking over to the counter to order, purposely staying close because she knew that Jughead wouldn't do anything bad since Pops didn't take any bullying of any kind.
Though then Pop went to the back.
"Say, Cooper, what did you order?" he asked, leaning on the counter and facing her.
"Just leave me alone"
"Or what?" he leaned closer.
"I don't know" he sighed.
