It was a fairly long walk to the Whyte Wyrm but that it was on the Southside.

Betty and I walked in unaware that we were still holding hands. It felt like everyone was staring at us, either smirking or just staring. Betty and I walked over to get a seat over by the bar.

"So much for keeping it secret" Betty said while taking a seat.

"Well, at least they know your mine" I smirked.

She blushed and looked down trying to hide it.

"God, your so cute when you blush" I said, seeing her face turn an even darker shade of red.

She looked up at me and smiled. We just stared into each other's eyes for a little bit, blocking out all of the yelling, cheering, clinking of glasses, and the loud music. It was a comforting silence.

"I'm going to go get a drink, do you want anything?" I asked while getting up.

"Shirley temple" she said with a smile on her face.

I walked up to the bar to see Riley cleaning glasses.

"Hey" I said, she looked up and me and looked back down.

"So, you and Betty huh?" she questioned without looking up at me.

"Um, yeah" I said feeling my cheeks get hot, but I tried to cover it up.

"So, what would you and your,"she stuttered on her words. "g-girlfriend like?"

"She would like a shirley temple and I'll have anything that's not too strong"

She smirked and turned around and mixed things together and handed me two drinks.

"Thanks" I said while putting some cash on the bar and taking our drinks and walking back to Betty.

I handed Betty her drink, and before I could sit down I heard some one yell, "Jughead!" I turned to see Sweet Pea and hand gesturing me to come over. I nodded my head and turned to Betty.

"Do you want to come meet my friends?" I said taking a sip of my drink.

"Sure" then she got up and headed over to them with me.

"Who's this fine lady that you brought with you today?" Sweet Pea said, looking her over.

I glared at him. "Guys, this is my girlfriend Betty. Betty, these are my friends, Sweet Pea, Joaquin, and Fangs"

"Hi" Betty said while smiling at them.

After Jughead introduced me to his friends we were just standing around talking until I heard someone whistle behind me and say "I call dibs on this beautiful blonde"

I turned around to see a muscular guy with curly hair, way curlier than Jughead's. He had a serpent jacket on and was about the same height as Jughead.

I glared at him and Jughead put his arm around my waist and said, "I would back off if I were you, we don't want anyone getting hurt, now do we?" Jughead glared.

I giggled, realizing that Jughead was jealous.

"Sorry Jones, didn't realize she was yours,"
He looked back over to me. "but she sure is damn beautiful"
