The Preppy Little Blonde Girl Makes Me Insane

Jughead Pov

After two encounters with that little blonde I am so unbelievably intrigued and interested it's driving me to insanity.

I walk into the Whyte Wyrm and pour myself a whiskey downing it quickly then pouring another "whoa what the hell is up with you, you never drink like this" asks Toni and I sigh "I just got shit on my mind" I tell her with a shrug and she grins and then Sweet Pea grins too "it's the blonde isn't it from the drive in, she got under your skin" said Sweet Pea with a knowing smile, I take a swig out of the bottle this time "that's an understatement" I mumble then I walk off not wanting to get into it with them about Betty.

I head out of the bar as I put my jacket on then I get on my bike and I head back to my trailer needing to be alone with my thoughts and to clear my head maybe to pass out after that whiskey I drank.

After our encounter at Pop's I went home really annoyed, I slam my car door and head inside to find my mom sitting in the kitchen like she was waiting for me "we need to talk" she said, fuck what if she saw us in Pop's or someone told her about Jughead talking to me, she always has this way of knowing things. 

I sit down next to her trying to remain calm "did I do something wrong" I ask her and she shakes her head no then sighs "as you know your father and I have gotten divorced today" she said and I nod then she takes a deep breath this must be bad news because she is acting strangely "well that's going to change things" Alice said slowly and I shrug "what is going to change" I ask her now becoming nervous because this definitely has to a big change maybe a bad one "we're selling the house and I've decided to go back to the southside to get away from here, away from your father" she said and I look at her "you have to be kidding me, why would you want to move back there you hate it there" I said to her not happy at all being there because it means I'll be closer to Jughead than I want to be "I just think it might be for the best. I don't want to leave you here and I don't think you would want to stay here, I need you with me Elizabeth" she said her voice sounding rough.

I sigh knowing I can't leave her like this and I don't want to be with my dad, "I'll go with you but I can't promise I will be happy about it, I mean it's my senior year and now everything will be different" I said to her.

 After our discussion I went to my room and called all of my friends telling them everything and I spent my last week at Riverdale High in sadness. My friends came over on my last day on the northside of town, the day I was moving to help us "call me every day let's not lose touch" said Veronica and Archie agrees with her then Kevin throws himself at me giving me a big hug "make sure you call me too and I want to know what happens with a certain serpent" he whispers in my ear and I roll my eyes.

We moved into a smaller house because it was all my mom could afford and this time I refused on her pastel colors which was an argument but I eventually got my way and I painted my room black which made her really mad but I loved it.

It took me most of the weekend to unpack and when Monday morning came around I was nervous about my first day at Southside High School  knowing no matter what my room looked like I still was going to stand out which made me decide to give my wardrobe a little change. 

I went to the mall over the weekend and bought some new clothes but still kept to where my mom would let me out of the house, I took one last look in my mirror at my black mini skirt and fixed my grey sweater and I tucked it in then I grabbed the new boots I bought that went over the knee putting them on and putting my purse around myself.

When I left my room my mom didn't say anything surprising me, I guess this is modest enough where she will let me leave the house but not without a few dirty looks. I drive to school which wasn't far from where we lived but once I got there I was more nervous than I was at home, there were serpents that went to this school and I knew Jughead went to this school and that he was in the same year as me, maybe he skips school maybe he won't be here.
