Jokes On You (Veronica Lodge)

Chapter 10

Biology was the one class always full of surprises. Archie and Cheryl, Veronica and Betty working together, but this surprise was different. This surprise had nothing to do with petty friendship fights, but all to do with Cheryl Blossom. Veronica and I sat around Cheryl the football game probably changing her views on us slightly. The teacher walked in slightly rushed and late. It didn't seem like today was any different, but it was.

It started when Principal WeatherBee and Sheriff Keller walked in. I assumed they were here for me, since I tend not to follow the rules, but even though their eyes looked like they were trained on me they weren't. Their eyes were trained on Cheryl and she knew it.

"You're here for me, aren't you?" Cheryl questioned while standing up. I looked at Veronica then at Cheryl. What is she doing? What could she have done to bring Principal WeatherBee and Sheriff Keller down here? "Because of the autopsy?" She finished. What could the autopsy have said? That she killed Jason? There's no way! She loved Jason she wouldn't have killed him!

"We don't need to do this in front of your classmates, Cheryl." Principal WeatherBee said looking at all the students who were jumping to conclusions. He's trying to protect the Blossom name.

"It's all right, Principal WeatherBee, they'll find out soon enough." Cheryl stated putting her hands out in front of her. I look towards Veronica one more time hoping she knew what Cheryl was doing. Of course Veronica didn't, but a girl can dream.

"Now, that won't be necessary." Sheriff Keller said referring to her stuck out wrist. What did you do Cheryl!

"Wait Cheryl, find out what?" Veronica questioned. Thank god someone asked. Cheryl looked at Veronica and then me before looking straight at Sheriff Keller.

"That I'm guilty," Cheryl stated before walking forward and leaving with WeatherBee and Keller. There's no way Cheryl is guilty! She wouldn't! The other's around me were whispering rumors already starting to spread. I grabbed my bag and walked out the door following the path to WeatherBee's office. Not caring what the teacher thought, Cheryl needed someone to protect her from the nosy Riverdale kids.

I was right to assume she would need someone because after the bell rang all the nosy Riverdale kids went to look in the window. Trying to get all in Cheryl's business. I know she's can be a bitch, and her family is the center of drama in all of Riverdale, but that doesn't mean you pry into her life. I mean it will be on the cover of the newspaper tomorrow, but still.

"Stop Snooping and get a life," I stated while blocking the window to the best of my ability until Principal WeatherBee shut the blinds. That didn't stop anyone from trying to look between the blinds or try and hear what they were talking about.

"Get away from the window or I will kick your ass," I state while approaching a group of teens. I was going to wait outside WeatherBee's office until Cheryl got out. Queenie eventually found me outside WeatherBee's office already knowing what has happened before she got there.

"They think Cheryl killed Jason?" Queenie whispered into my ear and I shook my head yes.

"They're wrong though! She loved him too much to have done that. We both know that much," I stated watching teens stand a few feet away from the window. Before I could tell her anymore two redheads stormed down the hall. They obviously were too old to go to school here and they looked nothing like Archie so I automatically knew that they were Cheryl's parents. They entered WeatherBee's office and exited within a minute whispering things to Cheryl. She sent me a look before leaving.

"What just happened?" Queenie questioned. I just shook my head having no idea what just happened. Cheryl was the talk of lunch, but people quickly quieted down when I threatened everyone who even mentioned Cheryl murdering Jason. Riverdale student's still feared Queenie and I maybe it's because we came to school with bruise, maybe it's because I could pull Reggie off of Archie with ease. I didn't care why, but they feared me and I used it to my advantage.
