I don't only any of Riverdale, only my characters
Marcus's P.O.V

I eyed Veronica carefully. A coffee in her palm, the steam rising through the hole in the lid. Her string of pearls tight around her neck, and a smirk on her pink lips.

"Matchlerette is on tonight, and I refuse to take no for an answer" Veronica smiled as we walked through the halls of Riverdale High. I scoffed, pulling a face "you want me to watch some cheesy, match-making show?" I questioned with furrowed brows. She laughed and looped our arms together "that's honestly just a cover story, I really want you to meet my dad. All of you" she said giving me an innocent smile that could only belong to Veronica Lodge. "I don't know, Ronnie" I replied with a shrug, she raised an eyebrow and shook her head "no, no, no. Come on, please. Do this for me" she begged "if you want, you can bring Cheryl" she said clinging to my arm. "Cheryl hates the Matcherlette" I said with a grin, Veronica groaned "please, Marcus. We never get to hang out anymore" she said pulling on my arm.
I exhaled sharply and gave in "alright, fine. But the second it becomes too cheesy to watch, I'm out" I said, Veronica grinned doing a little skip. "Yes!" she exclaimed "okay, so tonight, my place, 7:30" she grinned as we walked into the student lounge. She parted from me and sat with Betty, Jughead sitting by himself.

I wonder where Anna is?

"Oh, my god guys. Did you hear about what happened last night?" Kevin exclaimed, rushing towards us. I shook my head sitting down as he faced all of us. He seemed to shudder at the thought "it was a full-on Carrie" he exclaimed as Archie waltzed in and sat next to me. "Midge covered in Moose's blood, screaming like a banshee. It was insane" he said.

"Kev, what were you even doing there? You could've been shot, too" Archie asked with a frown, Kevin stammered a little before answering "I was just..night-jogging, you know, as one does. And suddenly, I hear gunshots" I raised an eyebrow at him "why would you be running around Riverdale, especially when there's a shooter running around?" I asked leaning forward, resting my elbows on my knees. Kevin stammered to answer, but Archie spoke before he did.
"Can we agree there's a killer on the loose?" Archie said "with terrible aim" Jughead joked with a small smirk. "Jughead" Archie scolded "he murdered Ms. Grundy" I looked to Archie "what?" I asked. Archie nodded "she was strangled, her throat crushed" Archie explained, I leaned back into the seat running my hands over my face.

"Arch, we don't know if these three crimes are related" Betty said from her seat, Veronica sitting on the arm of the chair. "Can we focus on what matters here?" Veronica said "Midge and Moose are alive, Archie's dad survived...the new season of the Matchlerette starts tonight, and you're all coming over to watch".
