Bad Boy

School, once again

Jughead dropped me off at school and kissed me. He hopped on his motorcycle and drove off to who knows what. After being gone for two weeks, rumors had been spread about me. One that Jughead got me pregnant and that I had to 'get rid of it.' One that he was the one to shoot me. Nothing good, none of them were right. There was an assembly that day, which I had to speak at, to explain myself. 

"Hello Riverdale High students. My name is Betty Cooper, if you already didn't know." I introduced.

"Lots of rumors have been spread about me, that I got pregnant, that I was shot by my own boyfriend, that I was dating a serpent. Yes, I am dating a serpent. But I would never let myself get pregnant."

"Jughead Jones would never shoot me. Yes, I was shot, by someone who's name I cannot say." I explained what had happened to me, when Jughead walked in the door. I had a bright smile on my face, and everyone who saw turned and looked at Jughead.

I finished my speech and the assembly was over. I ran over to Jughead and gave him a big hug. We didn't kiss because Principal Whetherbee could see us.

"You made it!" I was so happy he was there.

"I say we go make a Pop's run?" Jughead offered.

"Jug, I still have school. I have tons to make up. Maybe later, okay?" I looked stressed.

"If you have too much work today, I'll come over and help you!" 

"'Help me'. Sure you will..." I giggled.

Jughead and I walked over to the cafeteria and ate lunch together. Veronica, Kevin, and Archie joined us. We caught up, talked, and enjoyed our time together. After all, we all were graduating in a year.
