Dakota Jones (ʀɪᴠᴇʀᴅᴀʟᴇ)

Chapter 13: Colors

Dakota sat by Jughead. She wasn't reading his article. She was watching him type away. Like he always does but wasn't actually reading. She saw the words he wrote but didn't read it

//////////////

Dakota watched Jughead play the game. In her head she was predicting that he was about to lose. Fred knocked on the door
"I'm, Uh...I'm heading out. Sorry to be missing your birthday this weekend, Jug, Kota."

Jughead didn't take him eyes off the screen
"Oh, you will not be missing anything, Mr. Andrews, we barely acknowledge our birthday. But sometime Dakota does. But when she does it's for me. And it's usually some food at Pop's on her"

Dakota pointed at Jughead
"Well what am I suppose to do? You don't like your birthday-"

Jughead looked at her
"Neither do you."

"That's not the point. And anyways brother..."

Dakota sat next to him
"My birthday doesn't start until your birthday is over."

Fred looked at them
"Yeah you where born at like twelve something right Dakota?"

Dakota nodded her head

Fred continued
"But, Arch, can you give me a hand downstairs?"

Archie got up from his bed.

Dakota didn't like her birthday. Her and Jughead didn't technically share the same birthday. For some reason Dakota couldn't be born. The doctors didn't realize it after a few hours. So they had to do an emergency seaseaction. So jughead is a day older Dakota. Hardly anyone knows this. Yes, the Jones family knows. And the Andrews.But that is it. Dakota honestly doesn't care who knows. But it's just a topic that doesn't come up.

**********

Dakota heard that Chuck Clayton was back. And she hates it. She hates him. After what he did to all those girls. Ethel. Polly. Veronica.Betty. Hell he even tried with Dakota. Multiple times. Although everyone else only knows the one time in the locker room where she was threatening him because of what he did to Veronica.

Dakota punched the bathroom wall. Sick of everyone in this school getting away with everything

~~~~~~~~

Dakota looked at Jughead as he had the biggest smile. Jughead places the pan down. Archie went to grab the food but needed up getting hurt. Dakota laughed

"So..... A John Landis double feature at the Bijou. American werewolf in London and animal house. "

Dakota groaned
"But can't we just go watch Scream? Or Avengers?"

"That's awesome. Except... jughead you're going with Betty instead."

"You told her about my birthday? Dude, come on. That's a primal betrayal.-"

Dakota's head turned to Archie
"Wait...you told her about Jughead's birthday! Dude, now how are me and Jug gonna watch a horror movie"

Archie coughs before quickly and under his breath saying the last words Dakota would eve want to hear
"I also told her about your birthday"

Dakota looked at Archie and So did Jughead but Dakota didn't care, she was just surprised he told
"Wait you told Betty that Dakota was born..."

Archie finished
"On a different day. Yeah we were talking and I let it slip"

"Why do you hate your birthdays so much, guys?"

"PTSD from when I was a kid. I don't know. Things were always messed up at home.-"
