Falling For A Friend

Back To School

It was the first day back at school after the Christmas break. Betty and Veronica had spent as much time together as possible over the break and they were both surprised that their parents hadn't got slightly suspicious. Obviously they were friends but not a day had gone by where they didn't see each other.

It had also given Betty the chance to do a lot of thinking about her and Veronica. She didn't want to keep their relationship a secret any more. She knew Veronica wanted to go public and frankly she'd had enough of worrying about what other people would think.

When the girls were alone, Betty said: "I've been doing a lot of thinking. I wanna stop hiding us away, I want us to go public". Veronica couldn't hide her delight as she replied: "are you sure? You know your parents won't be thrilled about it".

Betty continued: "I don't care any more. My parents aren't gonna approve whenever we tell them and I'm proud to be your girlfriend. I love you and I want everyone to know that". Veronica held Betty's hand and said: "I love you too, I'm not sure what I did to deserve an amazing girl like you"

They agreed that they weren't going to make a big announcement, they were just going to not bother hiding it and let everyone find out. The girls smiled at each other and Betty pulled Veronica into a kiss. At that exact moment Cheryl walked in and took a pic before saying: "well this will get everyone talking".

Veronica got up and replied: "let everyone talk, we don't care. Betty and I are in love and if you, or anyone else, has a problem with that then you'll just have to deal with it". When Cheryl tried to dismiss what Veronica said, Betty wasn't going to put up with it any more.

The blonde got up and full on stared Cheryl down, saying: "nothing you can do or say bothers us. Veronica is right, we love each other and you are your minions are just going to have to deal with that". To prove her point, Betty kissed Veronica.

Noticing the romantic display, Kevin said: "that's my girl Betty". Archie looked confused and said: "wait, you knew about this?" to which Kevin replied: "knew about it? I was the one who fired cupid's arrow in their direction. If it wasn't for me they'd probably still be pining after each other like lovesick puppies".

Later on Jughead spoke to Veronica and said: "I can't pretend this isn't Weird for me seeing the one girlfriend I've ever had dating a girl, but as long as being with you makes Betty happy then that's good enough for me".

Veronica replied: "thanks, that's really sweet of you". While they both tried to claim they didn't care what everyone thought, they did care about what Kevin, Archie and Jughead thought because they were all close friends.

Kevin said to Betty: "you standing up to Cheryl like that was awesome, I wasn't sure you had it in you". Betty replied: "neither was I, but I have to say thank you for being responsible for me and Veronica getting together" and gave Kevin a hug.

With everyone at school now knowing about them, the only thing left to do was telling their parents. It was a big step but one they knew now they were both ready for. Whatever the reaction of their mums, they would deal with it together
