Riverdale's Falling [13 Reasons Why x Riverdale]

3

Jughead sat alone at lunch. Taking a bite of the school lunches burger, he glanced around the room. His eyes landed on the girl from early, Emma. He saw she was awkwardly looking around, trying to find a place to sit. There were plenty of tables like his, just empty tables. 

Emma made eye contact with him, a small smile forming on her face.  Jughead nodded at her, deciding that he should be social for once. That she will probably find a new table by the end of the week. 

"Hey, loser." She joked, sitting down across him. He nodded his head at her, taking a bite from his burger.  They ate in silence, Jughead not really sure what to say or do. He always sat alone, eating in silence. 

All Jug could really think about was the drive in. He had lived there for months now. And suddenly it's getting taken down. She had already gone to the mayor about this. Trying to convince her to not let it happen. That people in Riverdale actually use it. 

"So anything in Riverdale I should know about?" She asks him, looking up from her lunch. 

"The people here are mostly rich kids from the goonies, and the drive-in is closing."  He tells her blankly. She nods her head, looking around the room for a moment.

"Any drama? Or just anything really happen lately?" She questions, looking over at him again. Jug just nodded his head before answering. 

"A boy died a few months ago. Just found out he didn't drown, but it was a murder." He explains to her. Her eyes widened, looking at him shocked. 

"Damn." She mumbled, looking back down at her food. 

"How about you?" he asked, figuring it was his turn to question. She looked up, a confused look on her face. "At your old school, anything weird?" She nods her head, swallowing her food. 

"A girl committed suicide. There's another new kid here that came because of it. The school is just depressing." She tells him. His face turns into a frown, trying to figure out how he hadn't heard of this. " She was a nice girl too, just people can't stop making rumors."

Jughead nodded his head, understanding. The people in this school had made rumors about himself. He didn't care anymore though. One day he won't know any of them. One day he will just be able to forget about all of them. 

"Anyway, off this sad shit. Point me out some people to avoid." She says to him, chuckling a little. Jughead nodded his head, looking around. He nodded in Cheryl's direction, the red head chatting up a storm with some cheerleaders. Emma nodded her head, already seeing why. She just had the face of a mega bitch. 

"Anyone else?" She questions, chuckling. Jug nodded his head, putting his hand up and twirling his finger around the room. 

"Everyone. Because everyone here is a suspect for a murder." He tells her before the bell rang. Emma sighed, nodding her head. 

"Language arts room?" She asks him, needing directions. He pointed her in the direction, before throwing away his food. "Thanks, Jughead." She tells him, before turning on her heels. Jug smiled to himself, before shaking his head.
