The Hidden Southsider

Part 27:

J = Jughead, B = Betty 

J: You know what's weird?

B: What?

J: I thought I didn't know you, but I know you pretty well.

B: You know Betty Cooper.

J: Isn't that who you are?

B: Not anymore.

J: You keep saying that, but I don't know if I believe you.

B: That's okay.

J: You're not gonna try and convince me otherwise?

B: We're in school and here I pretend to be the perfect little good girl.

J: You don't have to be perfect, you know.

B: Okay, I'll go get some spray paint and graffiti the lockers.

J: No, you can't do that.

B: Anything above that is perfect to me.

J: Once again, your standards are insanely low.

B: Says the guy who's never kissed a girl.

J: I've kissed a girl.

B: I don't count.

J: Why don't you?

B: Because.

J: I'll need a better reason than just because.

B: If I was your first kiss that means I kissed a Northsider, and that is one thing I don't do.

J: Hey Betty.

B: Don't say it.

J: You did kiss a Northsider.

B: No, you kissed me.

J: That's not how I remember it.

B: You remembered me yesterday. I don't think your memory is that amazing.

J: Gaslighting isn't going to work on me.

B: I was seven and highly stupid.

J: So you admit it?

B: No, I don't.

J: I think you just did.

B: *says quietly* I hate Northsiders.

J: You're a Northsider.

B: Do you want me to bite you?

J: I'm just teasing you.

B: I'm not a girl to tease.

J: You tease me all the time.

B: Yeah, well you're easy to tease.
