"Why did you put that on Instagram when you know it's gonna lead people on?" I ask Jughead, a giggle at the end of my sentence. He shoots me a small smile, spooning some of this chocolate shake and feeding it to me.

"Because you're my baby." He says simply, with a shrug of his shoulders. My eye's widen, and I give him an incredulous look.  

"Am I?" I ask. He nods, turning back to his laptop. I watch as he starts typing, biting his lip slightly in concentration.

"Is this your indirect way of saying I'm your girlfriend?" I ask, getting straight to the point. He chuckles, and looks up from his writing to meet my eyes.

"Is that what you want to be? My girlfriend?" He asks. I bite my lip.

"I mean, yeah." I mumble. He smiles brightly, giving me a slight nod.

"Problem solved." He says, then turns back to his laptop. I grab his shake, taking a sip of it.

"You're dating." Veronica suddenly slides in the booth next to me, looking straight into my eyes. I see Kevin and Betty slide in next to Jughead, and Archie sit by Veronica. I sigh.

"We are?" I ask, playing dumb.

"We are." Jughead points out, looking up briefly at me with a smirk. I roll my eyes.

"They are!" Kevin says with a bright smile. I nod, turning in my seat and throwing my legs into Veronica and Archie's lap.

"Jughead, you're gonna have to order another shake." I mumble, sliding the empty cup over to him. He takes one look at the empty glass, sighs, and looks up at Pop Tate, who chuckles and nods.

"What am I gonna do with you?" He mumbles, giving me a playful glare. I blow him a kiss.

"To cute for my heart to handle." Veronica whispers, leaning her head on Archie's shoulder. He chuckles, kissing her forehead. Veronica then shoves my legs off her lap, causing me to lurch forward towards the table.

"Ouch?" I say, glaring playfully at her. She gives me a smug smile. I roll my eyes at her, then placing my feet into Jughead's lap as he closes his laptop. He looks over at me in slight surprise, before resting his hand in my leg.

"So what are your plans for the day?" Betty asks me, and I shrug.

"Probably gonna go to Allie's and die." I say, shrugging my shoulders before resting my head in the palms of my hands.

"Die? Why would you do that?" Kevin questions, and I just give him a blank stare. Jughead chuckles.

"I think her lady time is happening." He whispers to him, very loudly, and I raise my eyebrow.

"Lady time? Is that what we're calling me bleeding out of my vagina now?" I question. My friends laugh, and I give a slight smile, moving my foot around on Jughead's lap. He rubs my leg.

"You could come with. Allie's grandparents told me to bring you guys over, they adore you lot. Archie included, surprisingly." I mumble.
