Betty POV

My mom pulled up to the new house I'm supposed to call home. It looked nice enough. I looked out the car window to the next door neighbours yard and saw to boys they looked about my age one was wearing shorts and the other was wearing black jeans and a grey crown beanie and he had something dangling from a kind of dog tag chain around his neck. It was quite a sunny hot day and they were both shirtless and ripped as hell my first instinct told me fuck boys. Me, Polly and my mom all got out the car and my dad and Chic got out of the U-Haul that my dad was driving with all our stuff in.

"The house doesn't look that bad. Best part of moving is getting to explore." My mom said smiling and looking up at the house

"I know what I want to explore." Polly whispered in my ear I turned and looked at her and she was staring at the two boys playing basketball. I started to laugh at her then I pushed her arm playfully.

"You just can't keep it in your pants can you." I said laughing

"Girls! Come help me and your brother with the boxes." My dad shouted

"Ye guys stop checking out those guys playing basketball and come help." Chic shouted really loudly I started laughing "It wasn't me it was Polly." I said walking towards the truck I looked back at Polly and saw her still staring.

"Polly Jesus! Stop staring and come help." I said laughing then she finally walked over and started to help.

Once we put all the stuff in the house I chose my room it was the smallest of the rooms my mom and dad got the biggest then Chic then Polly and then me. I didn't mind having the smallest room I had my own bathroom so that was good in my room I just needed to be able to put my bed in and desk and shelves for my books. The furniture isn't coming till tomorrow so at the moment I just put my covers and pillows on the floor with all my boxes of stuff mainly books and stuff like photos, clothes, trinkets and stuff like that. I walked into my bathroom and put some stuff away once I walked out I glanced out the window and saw one of the boys from before doing pull-ups on a bar doing across his door frame he was wearing a crown beanie and black jeans I'm not going to lie he was kind of cute he stopped and let go of the bar and walked over to his dresser and pulled out a tshirt and put it on then he looked up and saw me. He gave me a little wave I waved back I smiled softly then I walked downstairs.

Once I was downstairs I saw my mom and dad in the kitchen talking and Polly and Chic in the living room watching TV. Then the door bell rang.

"I'll get it!" I shouted then I walked over to the front door and opened it. I saw a tall dark haired man stood there with the boy from before who was playing basketball before and the guy in the window.

"Uhmmm. Hi?"

"Hi. You must be Alice and Hal's daughter."

"Uhh. Ye. I'm sorry who are you?" Before I could say anything I heard my dad say "FP Jones. Long time no see." My dad said walking up behind me and standing next to me.

"How you doing Hal." Fp said smiling

"Good. How've you been?"

"Ok. I heard you were moving in."

"You live next door right? Hey How's Fred?"

"Ye I live next door and Fred..." before he could finish there was another mans voice come from behind FP and the boy.

"He's still able to beat your ass in a fight." Then a brown haired man came up from behind FP and the other boy

"Oh we'll see about that Fred." My dad said smiling and my dad ran at Fred as he ran into the front lawn then FP ran after them and the three of them started to wrestle on the front lawn. Me and the guy who was stood with FP started to laugh a little then my mom ran out of the house.

"Hal! What the hell are you doing?!" She yelled and she sort of ran in her hells towards them which just made me and the guy laugh more I looked up and he put his hand out for me to shake.

"Jughead Jones." He said smiling

"Elizabeth Cooper but people call me Betty." I said shaking his hand then putting my hand back to my side.

"How old are you Betty?"

"Uh 17 you?"

"17 As well."

Then we turned back to we're Fred, FP and my dad were all fighting before and they were all walking back towards us.

"Hal this is my boy Forsythe." Fp said putting his arm round Jugheads shoulder and then Jughead just glared at FP. "Sorry. Jughead."

"Oh uh Jughead. Archie said him and Ronnie are going to Pop's and they wanted to know if you'd join he left about 10 minutes ago."

"Sure thanks for telling me Fred. Uh Betty do you want to come?"

"Where?"

"Pop's. It's a dinner about 15 minutes from here. Do you wan to come Archie and Veronica are going to be there?"

"Sure. Can I go mom?"

"Ye of course honey just be careful walking home."

"Ok." I said and Jughead started to walk and I walked along side him i noticed he walked with a sort of limp but I didn't want to say anything because to be honest it didn't bother me.

"So Betty tell me about yourself."

"I don't think so you could be a murderer for all I know." I said chuckling "tell me a bit about you and then I'll tell you a little bit about me."

"Ok. What do you want to know?

"Anything just a bit about you it could be anything. Forsythe." I said his name mockingly

"Ok. Going for the name bold move." He said laughing "It's a family name my full name is Forsythe Pendleton Jones the Third. But everyone calls me Jughead because I hate my real name."

"Ok. I hate my full name." I said giving him a smile

"I'm 17 I like to read, write,watch movies and eat. I have a little sister called Jellybean she's 15. Let's see what else....I'm single I go to Riverdale High and my best friends are Archie, Veronica and Kevin. Right what about you?"

"Ok uh let's see I just moved here from LA. I'm like to read,write and watch movies as well I also like to dance me and Lee used to dance all the time. I'm going to Riverdale High. I'm also single I have an older brother called Chic he's 19 and I have an older sister called Polly and she's 18."

"Who's Lee?"

"My best friend back in LA. Our mom's are best friends. We were born on the same day at the same time. Do we kind of grew up like twins. I sucked leaving him in LA but he said him and his mom will visit at some point." I said smiling

"Cool. What's your favourite book?"

"Uhh. Probably Romeo and Juliet. What's yours?"

"Ohhh. That's a tough one maybe Murder On The Orient Express."

"What's your favourite movie?"

"Jaws. Yours?"

"Stand By Me." I said smiling at him and he smiled back. Then I looked forward and we'd reached Pop's it was a retro dinner that had red neon lights.
