Everyone was just so damn rude to Betty. Jughead didn't understand. But he only watched from a distance. He also didn't understand why she wasn't eating. It's been like this the whole week. It all started in the morning.
Jughead was at his locker and Betty walked in. Reggie and the group looked at her laughing. "Ohh my god. It's an earthquake. Ohh wait. Betty is just walking in"Reggie laughed. Betty's clawed her hand putting her head down walking away. At lunch Betty had a drink. It was just water with a straw. Jughead was sitting on the side of her. "Okay Archie. I know it's hard but Betty or Veronica "Kevin asked. "Veronica. Definitely. She's just so skinny but has a body plus a sassy and cute personality "Archie smiled at Ronnie who was blushing. She didn't even noticed the insult to Betty. Jughead looked at Betty who looked down trying to keep the tears back. "Well I think Betty's prettier and skinner then Ronnie "Jughead said. "Really? I don't know"Archie said looking at Betty who was just looking down playing with the straw. "I need to go"Betty said getting up leaving them.
When it all stopped was when Jughead did something to make it stop. Which was after watching them practice.
Betty was doing the routine flawlessly. Cheryl stopped them. When they had to lift Betty and the girls fell acting dramatic laughing. Betty's heart broke. She nearly broke down right there. "Betty if you"Cheryl was gonna excuse her but Jughead thought other. "Cheryl. Can I talk to you"Jughead asked going down the bleacher. "Is this about prom because no "she snapped. "Ohh please. I'm sure your fling would even have them think twice about prom with you"Jughead snapped back. Her palms go sweaty and followed Jughead to the empty hall. "If you don't get people to stop making fun of Betty I'll personally show the whole school your flings with Reggie. In the fields at night and in the class homes"Jughead pointed at the camera at his neck. "You stalker"Cheryl said scared. "No. Betty asked me to do the year book. And I'll tell everyone"Jughead spat. "What do you want"she asked nearly crying. "I want you to stand up for Betty. Why are they being mean"he asked. "The scale in the girls locker room is broken and only one person knew and made Betty step on it. And it said 470. Which is basically impossible but now everyone thinks Betty is heavy"Cheryl said shamefully. "If you were in Betty's place she'd stand up for you. So if you don't save her from this I won't save you from those pictures"Jughead said walking back. Cheryl walked back wiping her face. "Okay come on. Jughead needs to pictures. Betty and Veronica you'll be lifted. "She so heavy though "a girl giggled. "Get out and leave the uniform in the locker room"Cheryl snapped looking at Jughead. "What"the girl said shocked. "We don't make fun of people's weight right now. The scale was broken. Don't be bitchs about it. Anyone who has a problem with Betty on the top take the uniform off now and leave"Cheryl said. The girl led crying and everyone stood quite. They lifted Betty up who was a bit happy. She looked at Jughead who was taking pictures smiling at her. She knew he was the reason why Cheryl stopped them. After practice she went home facing her worst fear again. The scale in her own room. She looked at it a bit scared bitting her nails. Jughead knocked on the door and Alice opened it. "Betty's in her room"Alice said allowing him in. "We are just gonna go out and get a few more pictures for the year book. I'll being her back before curfew "Jughead walked in. "I like you for that. Archie would keep her out all night. "Alice nodded returning to the kitchen listening as he jogged up. Betty moved the scale to the middle of the room sitting across it sighing. He look sad. He walked him confused. "I'm 113"she sighed looking at him with watery eyes.jughead sat down with her. "Stop looking at these stupid numbers that mean nothing"he said harsh. "I can't. Everyone think I'm fat and I can't help but care"she cried. "Look at me"Jughead said making her. She looked at him sadly sniffing. "Your beautiful "he promise. She looked down at the numbers. "But.."she started. "God damn it"he said punching the glass breaking her weight teller ripping the paper and ripping out the red arrow . Her mom ran upstairs to the sound of breaking glass standing at the door way. Both didn't notice her looking shocked. He cut his hand. "Juggie"she gasped. Her grabbed her arms making her look at him. "Elizabeth Cooper. You are not fat. Your not even close to fat!. I love you for eating a whole bucket of ice cream with me. Or 3 burgers when we're alone at pops. God I fucking love you for being able to eat a bunch of food with me. And the funny thing is we don't gain weight. You don't. Betty. You can eat and eat and you won't but for god sake please stop calling yourself fat.  The girl I fell in love with shamelessly eats and eats with me"Jughead begged. Her moms jaw dropped. Rolling her eyes at herself walking away. She knew that. Betty smiled at him. "Wanna go to pops. I'm staving"she laughed taking out bandage wrap from her drawer along with alcohol cleaning his hand. "Let's go"Jughead smirked as she wrapped it. She got up helping him up dragging him by his hand. They ran out the house going straight to pops.

"COME ON BETTY COME ON"Jughead shouted as she ate the last chicken wing. "60 chicken wings! I am officially asking you to be my girlfriend " Jughead added laughing. "Wait for real?"she asked. He nodded shamelessly. "Id love to call you mine"Betty smiled laughing. "I'm so full"she groaned laughing. "I'll buy you a strawberry milk shake"Jughead tested. She looked at him. "Deal"she said sitting up calling pops over. He threw his head back laughing. "That's my girl"Jughead smiled throwing his arm around her shoulder.
