When we arrived at high school we ran into the show of the week, Jughead was breaking up with Veronica publicly. Archie and I looked at each other, in addition to the fact that it was cruel, it was more than obvious that I did it that way to try to prove something to me. I shook my head and we went in.

Once the day was over, we walked home while we talked about the Biology project that we had to do together: we had to make a model about the digestive system, not easy. We came up with some ideas so we went to buy some things that we would need.

When I got home I greeted mom, but she stopped me asking me about this morning's scene, so I have to tell her the truth, but a very light truth. When night came, I made pochoclos and told mom that I would watch a movie today, alone.

Arrange my room and leave the window open. I put the container with the pochoclos on the bedside table and while I chose one to see it go up.

B: hello Tarzan, I was just choosing a movie.

J: I didn't know what you were waiting for me

B: I turned around and got up suddenly - what are you doing here, Jughead? I almost had a heart attack.

J: I came to see you but I see that you were waiting for someone else - he sat in my bed-

B: I could call the police for harassment right now

J: You won't do it, I know you won't

B: and how do you know I'm not going to do it?

J: Stop pretending, Betty. The game was fun but it's over, I discovered you. You did all this just to make me jealous, you did it, end of the game, stop now.

B: Do you think everyone revolves around you? You're crazy.

J: Of course not, but this is evident. You always did it. Let's count the times you went for a walk with Archie or stayed at his house, just because you were upset with me. Or the famous movie Fridays, deny me that that was not your idea because I could never see you on Fridays and weekends.

B: -I was silent, that was true... but it was also true that although at first it was for Jughead then I really enjoyed being with Archie-

J: Just as I thought, Betty. And does he know all that? I bet it doesn't, am I wrong? - She approached me and looked the other way, embarrassed- don't lie to yourself, B. You don't like the good guy, and you'll never like him.

B: Jughead...

J: shhh, lose. I forgive you, is that okay? I want us to be well, you just have to stop all this action and leave the boy alone.

B: Of course I don't... kiss me. It was a slow and sweet kiss, just like the one I spent practically all my life waiting. For a moment I followed him, totally wrapped up in all my silly illusion until I fell into reality. I pushed him a little - enough, don't do that again - I separated from him but I saw him looking at the window with a proud smile -

J: ups

When I turned to see, I saw Archie standing in his room in front of the window. When he saw me, he closed the curtains.

I had ruined it.
