"Holy shit!" I exclaim loudly before being shushed by Betty. The blond girl had come barrelling my way as soon as she walked into the hallway and saw me.
"Polly's pregnant?" I hiss at her, Veronica, and Jughead. "With Jason's baby?" I rear back from them in astonishment at her varifying nod.
"This is too much like a soap opera now." Veronica voices her small disgust at the irony.
"You guys, what am I gonna do?" She asks as she twists her fingers around each other as we walk into the student lounge where Archie and Kevin sit.
"Well your parents know right?" I ask taking a seat next to Veronica. She nods at me as she too sits next to Jughead.
"Well, you said there was blood on the broken window, I think the main prioprity woukd be to find her first, fuck what anyone else thinks."
"My mom and dad don't want to get the police involved, they don't want anyone to know that she ran away, or about her 'shameful condition'."
"Please, what decade is this?" Veronica complains holding on to her coffee. I voice my agreement to them. While the Pussycats and I performed apparently Betty and Jughead went on a wild Goose chase to find the supposed hidden car that Jason had for him and Polly. They found and then they got Kevin's dad, but once they did and they got back, someone had set the car on fire. Burning every piece of evidence with it, including the drugs.
"Also since she knew where Jason's getaway car was they're afraid that people might think that she burned it and that if she did-"
"She could be the murderer trying to cover her tracks." Jughead cuts in.
"Who did burn the car, then?" Archie asks from his spot.
"Sheriff Keller said it's possible someone was following us."
"Oh my God, honestly guys, we should- we should just move." Veronica pleads with them thoroughly creeped out.
"I vote for moving the fuck away." I agree with her. Knowing that Jason's possible murderer could have followed them, if it were me I would have gotten on the first bus, car, train, or plane away from Riverdale.
"Guys, what if Polly's really hurt?" Betty fretts looking between all of us. "What if whoever killed Jason is coming after her next?" Jughead sneaks his arm around her shoulders letting his hadn rest on the farthest one from him and gives her a comforting squeeze. I nudge Veronica as she watches the his actions from next to me. I share a glance with her, Archie, and Kevin as Betty places her hand on top of his.
"Betty even though your parents don't want to, maybe you should go to the police." Archie suggests.
"Second it, we can talk to my dad together about how he has to be discreet."
Jughead looks at him and pulls his arm away from Betty before replying.
"No offense Kev, but your dad answers to a higher authority than God, the Blossoms, they're the first people he would tell."
"And if there's anyone to keep this a secret from, it's the Blossoms." Betty agrees. "They'd twist it around and go after Polly out of spite."
"How can we help, tells us, B, we'll do it." Veronica offers to her and we lapse into silence absolute silence as we feel the severity of the situation.
"Well, at least for once the drama isn't surrounding the black people." I speak to myself as the bell rings. Jughead stands and leaves out of the room causing Archie to follow after him, while Veronica, Betty and I walk out into the hall by ourselves.
