It's Only Seven Minutes..

Torombolo

Jugheads POV:

I take off my shirt as to not get it dirty and set it aside. I look for the tools and drift off while Archie is explaining what's wrong with the car. I look up through Archie's window and see Veronica making something.

I wonder what she smells like.

Wait... What am I thinking?!
Shit. Whatever. Whatever. I break from my trance as Archie is waving his hands in my face.
"Dude, what are you doing?" I ask pushing his hands away.
"You were staring at something, you good?" "I'm fine."
"If you say so" was all Archie said before he went back to explaining.
Veronica comes out with a jar of lemonade, heading over to Archie. I ignore them when suddenly felt a smack on the back of my head. I turned around in pain to see who in the hell smacked me, when I see Veronica with a scowl on her face.
"What was that for?!" I yell, wincing at the pain.
"You were ignoring me!" She exclaims.
"Well, what do you want?!" I snapped.
"Do you want lemonade or not?" She snapped back at me.

My eyes widened. I feel the guilt now.

"Oh... sorry.." I apologize looking down slightly, leaning on the car.
Veronica and Archie seem taken back by my words and I scowl.
"I-its fine." Veronica manages to stutter out. "Would you like some?" She asks again.
"Yea please." I say to her and turn back to work, not wanting to look at the couple.
Stupid head. Weird. Veronica hands me a glass of lemonade and I basically swallow it whole. "Thanks." I say but before I can turn back she smiles at me.
I feel my heart do a somersault at her smile and I study her face.
"No problem, Torombolo."
Archie glares at us and says "I'm still here." "Relax Archie-kins," She kisses him in the cheek.

Ew....
