Slowly Giving Up ~Bughead~

Chapter 14 - Flashback

**this flashback takes place when they were kids:)**
          One sunny day in Riverdale...
          Young Betty's POV: "Betty, Archie's at the door!" Yelled Alice. "Coming!" I yelled back. My hair was up in a ponytail, and I was wearing a pink shirt. Before I went downstairs to find Archie, I grabbed my favorite book off of my shelf. "Romeo and Juliet".
          When I arrived down the steps, I saw Archie standing in the doorway. He had a football in his left hand, like always. Every day was the same - Archie would throw the football at Jughead, and Jughead wouldn't catch it. Instead, the ball would hit Jughead in the nose. I memorized every single second of those moments, too.
          "Are you ready, Betty?" Asked Archie. "Where are we going, today?" I asked. "I'll beat you there!" He said. "Hey, that's not fair! You didn't even tell me where we're going!" I yelled.
          After minutes of following a fast Archie, we arrived at our usual spot. The Twilight Drive In. "Haha! Beat you!" Said Archie. "Shut up! I didn't know we were coming here." I got mad. "We always do, weirdo." He said while gently pushing me. When Archie "gently" pushed me, I was a weak little girl. I always fell to the ground. Soon enough, every single time a hand would pop out of no where. The hand of Jughead Jones.
          "Thanks, Juggie. Archie pushed me. Again!" I said. "Gosh, sorry!" Said Archie. I gave him the death stare. "Fine. You both get a free milkshake." Said Archie. "What flavor?" Jughead asked. "Strawberry for Betty, and of course, vanilla for you, Jughead." Said Archie. "Yay! So what're we doing today?" I asked them. "I thought we could play football!" Yelled Archie. "Do you want Jughead's nose to bleed again?" I asked Archie. "Fine. Jughead, what do you want to do?" Asked Archie. "Hmmm...." He thought. "How about we let Betty decide?" Asked Jughead. I smiled at him. "Betty? Any ideas?" Asked Archie. The idea popped up into my head. "I know! Hide & Seek!" I said. "Archie has to seek!" Yelled Jughead. I got up, and sat my book down on the ground. I quickly found a tree to hide behind, and it was far into the woods so Archie would have to at least search.
          Young Jughead's POV: I was hiding by a huge tree, and suddenly I heard a quiet giggle. I laughed, too, because of the funny giggle. Suddenly, I heard a footstep behind the tree I was hiding by. I circled around the tree, until I ran face first into Betty. Before we knew it, our tiny lips were touching. And then, our heads bumped. "Ow!" Said Betty. "Ow!" I said. And then we both smiled at each other. "Haha! You guys just had your first kiss!" Archie said while making kissing sounds. "Shut up, it was an accident!" Said Betty. "Shut it, Andrews. Or I'll tell the whole school you kissed Cheryl Blossom!" I yelled. And then, we all laughed. And we never ever spoke of that day again.
