The beach was the only place I could truly be myself and get away from my sorrows.
I sat down on the rocky shore looking out at the water.
"Hi beach" I said.
Yes I talk to the water. It's the only thing that listens to me.
"Mom hasn't done anything to me today" I stated hopeful yet not. And yes my mom beats me. She's a monster but takes out everything on me.
I sat there silent for a few minutes then I was interrupted by the sound of someone walking on the rocks. I didn't look behind me I just sat there until a boy sat next to me.
He had raven hair, crystal blue eyes, and a grey crown beanie. I've never seen this boy before. We sat there in silence until he spoke.
"It's beautiful isn't it"
"Yeah" I said.
"I'm Jughead by the way" he said looking at me.
"My new neighbor I presume" I stated.
"Yeah" He responded.
"Where are you from?" I asked.
"Seattle" he answered.
"Ah all the way across the country" I said.
"Yeah long plane ride, but good snacks" he said as he winked. I chuckled for the first time in months. I liked this boy he was nice.
"I'm Betty, Betty Cooper. Born and raised in Riverdale aka 'the town of pep' but I call it 'the town of hell'" I said shaking his hand.
"Why is that?" He asked.
"Because it's true. I've lived here my whole sixteen years of life and it sucks, everyone's fake, I have no friends and-" I cut myself off from talking about my mom.
"I can be your friend" he said.
"I'd like that" I said.
"So tell me about yourself Betty Cooper" he stated.
"Ok, I'm 16, I live with my mom, my dad and sister left a year ago and I have never talked to them since, I go to Riverdale high, my favorite movie is 'Rebel Without a Cause', and I talk to the beach" I told him.
"Wow" He said giving me a kind smile.
"Now tell me about you" I insisted.
"Well my name is Jughead Jones but my full name is much worse, I moved here with my mom, dad, and my sister, I will go to Riverdale high, my mom and sister left me and my dad a year ago but my dad fixed himself up and we are happy now, my favorite food is burgers, I used to kinda be in a gang, and I love serial killer documentaries" he listed.
"Wow, what's your full name exactly?" I asked.
"I only tell people I love" he said.
I nodded and my phone chimed. It was my mom and I knew what was coming.
"Uhh I have to go so see you round?" I said getting up.
"Wait I didn't get your number" he said.
I smiled and I put my number is his phone.
"Bye" He said, I nodded and ran home to my mom and faced her fist.
