"Time for school, Betty! Wake up!" Betty's mother yelled out from the bottom of their staircase.

"Mmfh."

She tossed and turned for a couple of minutes, before giving up and getting out of bed.

"What time is- crRAAAP!"

She noticed the time on her clock blinking in neon red: 8:30 AM continuously.

Her classes started at 9:00.

She stumbled out of her room and into her bathroom, gripping on the counter as she wet her toothbrush and slathered it with minty paste.

With the brush still in her mouth, she ran over to her closet and pulled out a simple pink hoodie and jeans. 

Going back to the bathroom, she spit out the toothpaste and gave her face a quick flush before grabbing the clothes and putting them on.

"You're going to miss your classes, Elizabeth!" Her mother yelled out.

"I'm coming!"

Looking over to her vanity, she grabbed her purse and removed the elastic that held her hair. She watched as her silky strands cascaded over her shoulders, before tousling them with dry shampoo.

By the time she arrived in the kitchen, Polly and her parents were already there.

"This is the third time you've slept in, Elizabeth." 

"I know, dad."

She went over to their snack cabinet, grabbing a Nature Valley bar.

"If you've known this, then why have you continuously done it?" Her mom added in as she eyed Betty disapprovingly.

Polly chuckled.

"Good luck." She whispered before heading upstairs.

"I've just been doing a lot of studying for some big exams I've had coming up."

"Are you sure this isn't because of The Blue and Gold?" 

"It's not because of The Blue and Gold, dad. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to be late."

"If this happens again, I won't be waking you up!" Her mother yelled out.

She rolled her eyes as she opened the front door and walked to her car.

As she settled inside, she opened up her phone, and tapped on one of her contacts.

"Veronica!" Betty said as she locked her car.

"B!"

They hugged. 

Veronica and Betty had reconciled, mostly because Veronica knew that it wasn't her fault.
