Mad World ~A Jeronica Story

Jughead's POV

When Riverdale thought the Blackhood situation was over they later didn't know how wrong they would be. On September 26, 2018 the Blackhood struck again, this time targeting the Blossoms. The town will shortly know that the Blackhood set fire to Thornhill, killing Jason Blossom in it.  The following morning felt like what had happened was just a nightmare but it was in fact real. As I wake up I look over to my phone and see that I have 2 messages from Ronnie.

"Hey I'm not going to school today so don't pick me up."

"Sorry Jug :(, I know how you like to stare at me face ;)"

"remind me why we're dating again ronnie"

"Because you're a weirdo "

What have I gotten myself into with this girl. I look over an see that I have 1 hour and 13 minutes before school starts. I get up and hop into my shower. I get out and put on my usual attire: a pair of pants, my S shirt, and my serpent jacket. I grab my backpack, get on my motorcycle and drive to school. I get off my motorcycle I race up the stairs and into the school to get to the common room to find Archie. As I entered I see Archie talking to Reggie so I go to the vending machine. I just got back from suspension so I was so thrilled the face that got me into this mess the second I walk into school.

"What was it like, suicide squad? When you killed Jason? You didn't do stuff to the body like after?"

"It's called necrophilia, Reggie. Can you spell it?"

"Come here you little shit!"

Reggie sad attempt at a punch results at him laying there on the floor since I dodged his weak punch. After about two minutes Archie comes up to me and says, "Hey man sorry about back there."

"Don't worry about it, it wasn't your fault."

"Sorry if I was distant from you lately, I just have been spending so much time with Betty lately. She's so great. Well bros before hoes."

"Archie never say that again. Veronica and Betty aren't hoes."

"Wait, are you and Veronica a thing?"

"No, me and Veronica are just friends who like to makeout. YES, ARCHIE WE ARE DATING!"

"Well no need to be rude about it." 

"You wanna catch up at Pop's after school to catch sure, Arch?"

"I don't have any football practice today so I can go."

"Cool well I got to English now. See you later Arch."

"Wait don't we have English together?" Archie yells out as I walk to class alone pretending I didn't hear him with a smirk on my face.

I walk into English and take my seat. It feels erie as a lone Cheryl walks into class wearing a long sleeve white dress. Betty trails behind Cheryl. The cousins will soon become the new Blossom twins. It feels like a half of her is missing which in a way is true. Archie walks in just as the bell rings. The lesson had begun and I feel myself slowly falling asleep when I am slowly bolted back to reality by a panicked Reggie running in and saying, "Professor, there's something you need to see." 

As Reggie finishes his sentence the whole class goes out into the hallway to see what's happening. On the walls and lockers, in red blood or paint, whatever it is, it is written, "The chamber of secrets has been burned down." Whoever this Blackhood dude is, he has obviously read or at least watched Harry Potter. Lord Voldemort wannabe much. Cheryl quickly walks right out of school and leaves a confused Betty wondering if she should go follow her cousin or stay in school. For some reason since I transferred here, Betty has been sending me mean looks at me. Wonder what I did to piss her off without even saying a word to her. Principal Weatherbee walks in and starts forcing us to get back to class. As we walk back to class I realize I have detention for the next two weeks. The next two periods are a blur. The bell rings dismissing us for lunch as I attempt to dash out of class when my teacher says the magical words, "The bell doesn't dismiss you I do!"

"Mr. Jones, detention after school." 

"Already have detention for the next two weeks Ms."

"Consider it now two weeks and a day Mr. Jones." 

Crap my detention has been extended and now I need to cancel plans with Archie. This week has been hell. It couldn't possibly be worse. At least I still have a girlfriend.

Veronica's POV

I am completely devastated by Jason's death. Not just because he was a fellow classmate but also because he was my ex. I dated him for about a year. It's hard to know that someone who you loved with all your heart is gone forever. He was also my friend's brother and I can't even begin to imagine what she is going through right now. I decided to not go to school so I could have personal time to collect myself. As the day goes on I find myself just constantly thinking about Jason and what would have happened if things didn't end like they did and if we would still be together if it didn't happen. If we were still together, we would have been celebrating our year and a half together in a month. I slowly realize that I still haven't gotten over Jason. I feel guilty. I'm in a relationship right now and here I am still having feelings for someone who isn't even alive anymore. I feel horrible for dragging him along. Homecoming is this Friday, which is two days away, so I can't break up with him yet. Only one thing is sure right now. That I need to break up with Jughead.

-----------------------------------

I am so sorry for not posting for the longest time. School has been draining me so much. I kind of made up for it by making this a long chapter but also I kind of tortured you for Veronica possibly breaking up with Jughead. Next chapter will be the homecoming chapter which is kind of like a break from all this serious drama and we'll get to see some petty student drama which isn't Reggie vs. Veronica and Jughead for once. Also sorry for the lack of every other character in the previous chapters. I was reading them now so I don't have any plot holes and to make sure what is Jug's first period and who's in that class. Also I don't really like Betty but this season she's like the most reasonable character especially with Jug basically becoming insane with G&G. Also Reggie isn't a dick this season and I'm actually enjoying his character. But like Roberto, where's all the Choni and why is Reggie getting physically ABUSED at home just a "minor" detail like hello. Also my English teacher is q u a k i n g with my grammar in this chapter.
