Secrets I Hate

11

Bettys POV
I was with Veronica as she said "okay, I know I feel terrible about you and Archie...but he's the sweetest Betty I don't know how to describe how much I like him! Maybe even love!"

I smiled and she said "but enough about me, so... who's the catch in your life?"

I smiled and said "look Veronica you may not support me..."

She said "is it Reggie? God don't go down that road Betty."

I said "no! I....you're my best friend and I've been keeping this a secret. But please don't tell anyone?"

She said "I'm your best friend, I promise."

She gave me her pinky and I smiled as we kissed our thumbs.

I gulped saying "I've been talking...to a serpent..."

She scoffed and said "scandalous! Which! Is it Sweet Pea? Honestly if Archie weren't a doll..."

I laughed saying "he is sweet actually but...no... it's Jughead..."

She scoffed saying "oh my god Betty! That's amazing!"

I laughed saying "I've been wanting to tell you for weeks! We met the day before the first day...and then when he offered to help me with the Blue and Gold...we started liking each other maybe late September?"

She squealed saying "I'm so proud of you!"

She hugged me and I smiled saying "but please keep this...I haven't exactly told my mom...she would be furious..."

She said "don't worry...I won't tell a single sole because I love my bff."

I smiled and she smiled back saying "but tell me more about you mystery boyfriend..."

I laughed and nodded as I kept talking about Jughead...when I left her place I went over to Pops and saw Jughead there, he smiled and I smiled back walking over to him.

"Got your text, you told your best friend?"

I nodded saying "we can trust her."

He nodded saying "you ready to meet my friends?"

I frowned and gulped as he said "don't worry, okay?"

He kissed me and I held his face and smiled saying "let's go?"

He nodded and we left. When we got to this hangout spot for the teen serpents I saw all of them and they saw me.

"What's she doing here?" Toni asked.

I sighed saying "I'm sorry...I'm really extremely sorry that we had that argument...I didn't mean for it to go that far. I just want us to try to be friends because...I really like Jughead and...I feel bad about what I did."

She came up to me and said "fine..."

I smiled as she said "but if you try to pull anything, I'll out you, and you don't wanna be confronted by our leader."

I smiled saying "don't worry. That's not gonna happen, because I wanna be with Jughead, and he wants me to be with him, right?"

I turned around and he smiled and kissed me, I held his arms gently and he smiled as someone shouted "get a room!"

I laughed softly as he smirked and said "why don't you talk to some of my other friends as I cool off Toni?"

I nodded and he smiled leading me away.

I sat with Fangs and Sweet Pea saying "how long have you know Jughead?"

Fangs said "basically our entire lives, we're raised as one together."

I smiled saying "really?"

He nodded saying "basically all serpents grow up together such as us like if you were born from a serpent you would've been basically raised with all of us."

I frowned saying "and all of you are this close?"

Sweet Pea said "yup...and if Jughead and you don't work out..."

He came closer and smiled saying "call me, because you are a beautiful lady."

I smiled saying "well that's sweet...and you look nice too."

He smirked and I laughed as he said "but yeah if you would've been one of us, god the places I could've shown you...it would be like your family, we all are a family."

I smiled saying "family?"

Suddenly Jughead sat down and said "Betts...you doing okay?"

I laughed saying "yeah Sweet Pea is really nice."

He said "Sweets hands off."

He got up and I gulped saying "Jug it's okay..."

Sweet Pea said "and what if I said I'm interested?"

I said "alright boys come on..."

I said "both of you better stop..."

They began squeezing me and I winced and groaned as I grabbed Jugheads arm and flipped him on his back and flipped Sweet Pea on his chest.

"Knock it off!" I shouted now annoyed with both boys.

They groaned and I said "you guys are crazy."

Fangs laughed saying "you both just got your asses kicked by a girl!"

He laughed saying "I like you and you're staying."

I laughed and he smiled as Jughead said "god why do I fall for you harder every time..."

He groaned and I laughed as Sweet Pea said "same..."

I kicked them both and groaned as I said "I need a drink."

Fangs grabbed my arm and took me to the cooler.

That night I got home and saw my mom and she smiled and I smiled back "looks like you've had a good day?"

I nodded saying "a really good one..."

She smiled saying "I'm happy that you had a great day. So next week is thanksgiving and I need you to help me plan it out..."

I said "yeah I know mom."

She said "your father is coming and it's a big time and I know you want everything for your father to be well."

I nodded saying "no duh, dad deserves the world."

She laughed and hugged me saying "I know how much you love your father..."

I smiled saying "you love him just as much as me..."

I laughed and she held my face and said "let's not let anything go wrong okay?"

I said "don't worry, I want us to make his favorite dishes plus get some of Pops classic shakes."

She laughed and said "what did I do to deserve a daughter like you?"

I said "what did I do to deserve my family."

She smiled and hugged me again and I hugged her back.

I heard her say "I love you Betty." 

I said "I love you too mom..."
