"Bullshit!"
Chapter 12
***It had been two months since people had heard of Kimberley Eun and the town started to wonder what the hell had happened?
She hadn't come to school in six weeks and her father was too busy obsessing over a stupid case to worry about his own daughter's wellbeing. Soon he drowned in missing files and cases and didn't return home for a week or two.
At this point, Kim was pretty sure she knew a hell of a lot more than her dad. Betty had informed her of the sherif and mayor McCoy's secret affair and of Chuck's return to Riverdale high. And the small Asian girl almost envied the North, almost.
The South had become more violent, more tough and more enraged. After the Ghoulies were kicked out, FP demanded that they start dominating all of the small town, much to Jughead's disdain. However they couldn't argue, the man was a genius with these sort of things.
Soon, Tall-boy and Sweet Pea became FP's right hand men and helped with anything. Toni picked up more shifts from the bar and Fangs was always away, trying to puppy chase Michelle Price.
She became lonely again, just like she had in Greendale. The sun no longer woke her up and she got up to dreary skies of grey and angry clouds.
And she dare not go out, because she knew how harsh the lone streets of the south could be. So she stayed at home, ate nothing and slept. Her eyes were so red that she could no longer cry. Her bones were fragile and her rib cage poked out. Even her own beautiful soft skin that Sweet Pea had once called beautiful was coarse and pale. She no longer had the beautiful glow of a goddess.
To her surprise however, her father came home one night and looked her in the eye and said.
"What the hell is going on with you?"
"Nothing, dad. Just teenager problems"
"I'm sick of this relationship. You tell right now what the fuck is going on"
"Nothing." She murmured and she pulled her hair through her bony fingers.
"You look like Baba Yaga. Is it those Serpents again? You know I told you not to get involved-"
"NO, no. Just worrying about tests."
"Really? Because I talked to the principle and he said you haven't been in school for over a month. You're tests were four weeks ago."
