Bughead: opposites attract

Chapter 53

A month later, after chics funeral and after Betty was regularly going to therapy, everyone noticed a change in Betty. She was happy. Like actually truly happy, just like she was before, their Ray of sunshine was once again lighting up theirs lives.

Betty was doing well with her online school and she only had a few weeks until graduation, which she decided to do with everyone back at Riverdale High. Jughead was happier than ever, him and Betty had never been better and the bar was doing good in business.

"Jug!" Betty yelled from where she was sat at the dining room table. "Yes babe?" He asked as he walked over and came to sit next to her. "Are you any good at math?" She whined, shoving her homework in-front of him. "Nope. Sorry betts" he laughed and she moaned even more. "Why don't you go and ask fangs? He was always good at math" he said and kissed her head as he stood up. "Okay I'll be back" she smiled and left the apartment to go downstairs. 

"Hey Betty" "Hey there" "Betty!" The serpents greeted when they saw her bounce down the stairs. "Hey everyone" she smiled. "Fangs? Can you help me?" She asked. "Of course? You okay?" He asked coming over to her. Suddenly the serpents burst into a thousand questions asking her if she was okay. "I'm fine i need help with homework" She laughed and held up the papers in her hand. Fangs and Betty were sat in a booth working on her homework for about half and hour when jughead came down in search for his girlfriend. "Betts! Hey" he said when he got to the table. "Hey juggie" she smiled. "You get your homework done?" He asked. "Yep, we've just finished." She smiled at him. "I'm just going to go to the toilet I'll be right back" she said as she left the booth. "Thanks for helping her out dude" Jug said as he sat in Betty's previous seat. "No problem, anything for her you know that" fangs smiled. "I know, I just don't want her to stress, I know graduation is soon so I don't want her to put pressure on herself" Jug sighed. Before fangs could respond Betty came back and sat on jugs lap, his arms instinctively coming around her. "Do you want dinner with the serpents or just us two upstairs?" He asked her. "With the serpents" she smiled at fangs and then leant in to whisper just to jughead "But I want us two upstairs for desert" she added with a smirk. "EW! Guys! I'm still sat right here!" Fangs cringed causing jughead to laugh and Betty to blush.

At dinner the serpents, as usual,we're discussing their day. "Not long now until graduation" FP said across the table to Betty. "I know! I can't wait" Betty said excitedly. "How are you doing with online school?" Toni asked. "It's going really well, it's a lot less stressful" Betty said. "You say that like you didn't have a tantrum the other night because you didn't know any answers to the pop quiz you made for yourself!" Jug teased. Everyone burst out laughing. "You gave yourself a pop quiz?" Sweetpea laughed. "And you didn't know the answers?" fangs added. "Shut up" Betty mumbled but couldn't wipe the smile off her face.

After dinner Betty excused herself upstairs to have a shower. "So are we throwing her a graduation party?" One of the serpents asked. "Of course! I have big plans for it" Jug smirked. "Boy! What are you planning?" FP asked. "If I tell you, you can't mention it to anyone!" Jug ordered. The rest of the serpents agreed. "After her graduation... I'm going to propose" .
