I went to go sit with Kevin, Veronica, and Archie at their table. Archie was showing them some of his new terrible songs. Kevin had a secret pair of earplugs...luckily. 

I looked around the outside lunch area and saw Jughead eating lunch all alone up against a tree. I remembered how he invited me to sit with him in science class. I got up from my seat with everyone at my table looking at me. 

"Hi Jughead. Do you want to go sit with my friends and I at our table. By the way, where's Chic?" 

"We got put into different lunch periods. Also, Betty I'm kind of a loner. I don't need a lot of friends and-" 

I took his hand and made him stand up. He was coming with me whether he liked it or not. Jughead sat down at the table and I sat write beside him. Archie stared at him like a lost puppy, Kevin mouthed things like 'team bughead!' Or 'Future husband." Veronica kept asking him questions. 

"Well, I moved to Riverdale with my dad. My mom passed when I was 8." He whispered. 

He started to breathe heavily. I could tell he was getting anxiety about something. His legs were shaking and so were his arms. I held his hand. He looked at me in shock. 

"Are you okay? You're shaking!" I whispered. 

"Yeah! Just cold that's all..." He whispered back. 

Jughead got up and left quickly. I made him uncomfortable, I felt bad. I sighed and continued to eat my apple. I only know 3 things about Jughead. 

1. He's polite. 
2. He's shy. 
3. He is a loner.
