YOUR POV

"Y/N! WAKE UP!" The sound of a woman yelling pounds in my mind as the sleepy fog leaves my eyes. I'm greeted with Veronica's chocolate brown eyes staring into mine.
"Whoa, I'm up," I say as I scratch the back of my neck and stretch my arms.
"We have to get ready! Eek! This going to be so exciting!" Betty yells from across the room where she's brushing her hair while looking into the mirror.
"Okay, what first?" I yawn and walk over to Betty. I'm too tired to be surprised by the absolute mess that is my hair, but if I had energy, I'd try to fix it.
"Breakfast first, breakfast is always first." Betty says seriously, with a hint of playfulness nipping at her words.

••••••••••
The smell of fresh brewed coffee and crisp toast dance around my nose as the three of us walk down the stairs and into the kitchen.
"You girls are just in time!" Mrs. Cooper exclaims and places white plates stacked with food on the table. We all sit down and eat while laughing at the dumb story Betty tells us about her childhood living next to Archie. As I take my last bite of pancake, Betty flashes me a suspicious smile.
"Time to give you a makeover," She says slyly and races upstairs.

••••••••••
"This isn't really me..." I say while looking down at my feet because I don't want to insult the outfit Betty picked out.
"Of course it isn't, Betty has no fashion sense, let me try!" Veronica states and playfully hits Betty.
I get undressed and lay the outfit Betty picked out for me on Betty's bed. It was a yellow and white sweater with tan shorts. It wasn't bad, but it doesn't suit my style. Veronica reappears with a few articles of clothing in her arms. She flashes me a smile before chucking the pile of clothing on me.

"Wow, I really like this!" I exclaim as I study my outfit in the mirror. It's a dark red t-shirt with a black faux leather jacket over it, with a pair of dark wash mom jeans and black old school vans.
"Where could you possibly have found this jacket in my house?" Betty questions, examining the worn down leather jacket.
"Maybe Polly went through a secret emo phase?" Veronica answered her question with another question.
"That would explain the random MCR disks I found in the attic," Betty states and turns around to grab her makeup bag.
"Here, lemme just," Betty mutters as she starts to apply makeup to my face.
A few minutes later and she's done. I look back into the mirror to see she gave me a natural, subtle eyeshadow look with cat eyeliner and faded purple-pink lipstick. It was for sure the boldest makeup look I've ever worn, but I really liked it. I pulled my (h/c) hair away from my face and tossed around with ideas for hairstyles in my mind. I decided on leaving it natural but giving myself a side part.
"Okay, ready to go?!" Veronica looks at me, she was suddenly dressed and looked like a NYC queen. I nodded and stood up from the white chair.

BRRRING!!
The first school bell went off as we made it to Betty's locker.
"Ah Ms. (y/n)! Here is your schedule, let me lead you to your locker and give you the combo," Mr. Weatherbee says and comes up from behind us. I smile and let him lead me, I turn around quickly to wave bye to my two new friends.
We stop at a plain old locker and he hands me the schedule, along with a slip of paper with numbers. He leaves shortly after and I struggle to open the lock.
"Locker troubles? You must really be the stereotypical new kid!" A voice says in a joking manner. I shut my locker to see Toni leaning up against the locker next to me. My face immediately flushes, I can't explain why I get this way around her.
"That obvious?" I laugh and let her take over and open it for me.
"You act like it, but definitely don't look like it," She says slowly as her eyes trail up my outfit. I laugh nervously and shrug.
Suddenly, she snatches the schedule out of my hand. Her face falls from excited to disappointed in seconds.
"What?" I ask in a panicked tone, my eyes growing huge.
"Nothing bad, we just don't have many classes together. You're in all the honors classes because you're one of the smart ones. A cute nerd, that's one rare breed," she laughs, trying to hide her frown.
I don't know what to say because I'm confused myself on how I got into honors without taking any placement tests. My stomach drops, what if honors classes are too hard?
"I've never been in honors classes before," I say with a dry tone.
"Don't worry, I bet you're really smart. Weatherbee just likes to try to make as many 'prized students' as he can," she explains and smiles at me.
"Oh, okay. I guess I should go to my first class?" I say but it sounds like a question.
"Yeah, me too," She says slowly and looks down at the floor.
"Well, I'll see you at lunch!" I exclaim and smile brightly.
"If you're lucky!" She says smoothly and turns away, not before flashing a quick wink at me.
I turn the opposite direction and walk to my first class. The excited feeling still swarming in my stomach. What is going on with me?
