"Betty! There you are." I look behind me and I see Reggie trying to catch up to me. 

"What's up Reggie?" I question.

We don't usually talk this much. The bell just rang so the hallway is empty, I'm running a little late and talking with Reggie is just going to make me even later. 

"Just wanted to talk. Maybe we can ditch or something." 

I shake my head. "No Reg. I have class."

Reggie smirks. "Aren't you supposed to be a bad girl? Come on. Ditch with me." 

I sigh. I look around and I do a double take. I see Jughead looking at us and staring pretty hard if you ask me. I look back at Reggie. "Actually sure, let's go." 

Reggie grins and he puts his hand on my back and motions for me to walk with him.


We go around a corner and stop in this corner that's closed off from anyone who might see. He then cages me in his arms and starts kissing me. I immediately start kissing him back. 

Reggie is a really good kisser. But I rather be kissing Jughead. I wonder what was going through his mind when he was staring at Reggie and me. Was he jealous? Did he regret ignoring me? Did he regret punching Reggie and just stopped caring about me? Did he like my new look? Does he want me just as much as I want him? If I were to kiss him right now, would he kiss back? 

I pull away from the kiss with Reggie and say "I'm sorry, I can't do this." 

Reggie has a confused expression on his face. "Why?" 

I gulp, "Because I need to find Jughead."

Reggie eyes crinkle and he looks mad. "Why?"

"Because he should be the one I should be kissing." I then step away from him and start walking to the area I last saw Jughead. I turn the corner to apologize to Jughead when I see him. 

With Veronica. 

Kissing.

Jughead Jones is kissing Veronica Lodge. 

I can feel tears prickling in my eyes and I can feel my throat getting tight. 

"Jughead?" I squeak. 

Jughead whips his head towards me and his eyes widen. I don't even look at the regretful look in his eyes, all I see is the lipstick on his mouth and on his neck. I look behind him and I see Veronica smirking again. 

Just like with Archie. 

I push Jughead aside, I'll deal with him later, and I stomp towards Veronica. "What is your deal huh? Why do you have to make my life complete crap? Archie wasn't enough for you? So you have to steal jughead from me too?" I yell, furious. 

Veronica rolls her eyes and comes closer to me. "Because you need to get it through your brain, that I'm just better than you in every way. Archie chose me. Jughead chose me."

I smirk and say "But I do remember making out with Reggie and him saying I'm a better kisser than you." 

Veronica's smirk dropped immediately. "Yeah, I heard about you and Reggie kissing. It's another reason why I stole all these guys from you. You steal from me, I steal from you. Plain and simple." 

I push Veronica. "Watch it. I am done with you messing up my life. Because now, I will come for you." I push past both Veronica and Jughead and make my way back to Reggie. 

Man why do I always make the worst decisions?

Jughead then grabs my shoulder and says "Betty wait."

"What Jughead?" I'm crying now.

"It's not what you think."

"Really? It's not what I think? So I didn't just see you swapping spit with Veronica Lodge?" 

Jughead shakes his head. "Okay, so it was what it looks like. But why should you even care? We're not dating. And you were making out with Reggie. Let's not forget that." 

"You're so stupid. I was coming over here to apologize for being a jerk, and maybe talk about us. Maybe us being together. But now that plan is down the drain." 

Jughead's eyes widen and he says "What?" 

I look at him with sad eyes. "It's sad. Because my biggest fear is that I'm not good enough, especially compared to Veronica.

I lost Archie to her, and then you kiss her. If you wanted to kiss someone for revenge or whatever fine. But did you really had to kiss Veronica? That's what hurt most. And hey, you probably knew that it would hurt most. So we're done Jughead. We're no longer friends or anything more."

I then walk away from him.

Why is my life shit?
