In the small town of Riverdale, nothing bad ever happens. Until the Fourth of July, when the town's beloved Jason Blossom was murdered. The mystery of the high school quarterback's death was something no one could solve. No one; except for Jodie Jon...

Jughead: *groaning softly as Livi holds a dress shirt up in front of him* Aunt Liv, I can pick out my own clothes.
Livi: Not dress clothes, Jug. Which you need for the memorial service. *hands him the shirt* So, try that and the slacks on.
Jughead: *sighs* Alright. I'll try on the monkey suit. *turns around and starts walking towards the dressing rooms*
Jodie: *looks at Betty, holding a black and white polka dot pajama set in front of her* What do you think? Is this nice?
Betty: *looks over, smiling softly* Yeah, that's nice. *pauses* Is that what you're wearing to Cheryl's sleepover?
Jodie: I think so. I mean, I really don't want to be the only girl wearing their brother's old shirt and grungy sweatpants. *starts walking towards the women's pants section*
Betty: *following behind her* So,...there's something I've been wanting to talk to you about.
Jodie: What is it, Betts? *starts looking through the black pants, trying to find something for the memorial service*
Betty: *staring at her* Why didn't you tell me you have a crush on Cheryl?
Every single muscle in my entire body became stiff and my face was completely flushed.
Jodie: *looks at her, her eyes wide in horror* Who told you?
Betty: Thatdoesn't matter. What does matter is that you weren't the one that told me. JJ, I'm your best friend and we tell each other everything. Why didn't you tell me this?
Jodie: *looks down in embarrassment* Because I know how you feel about Cheryl. *looks at her* And you have every right to. Cheryl's been bullying you and our friends like forever. And I know I should feel the same way you do,...but I don't. Every time I've stood up to her for you, all I could think about was every single thing I like about her. I felt like I was betraying you. That's why I never told you, because I was scared you wouldn't want to be my best friend anymore.
Betty: *her expression softens, staring at her* JJ, there's nothing you can say or do that'd make me not want to be best friends with you. It's okay that you like Cheryl and that you're friends with her. But what about Tammy? I mean, do you still have a crush on Cheryl?
Jodie: *sighs in frustration* I don't know. I'm crazy about Tammy and I love being with her,...but I can't stop feeling butterflies with Cheryl. It was the same way when I was with Toni sometimes. I just don't know.
