CHAPTER NINE SHE WALKS A ROAD OF STUPIDITY! ↴
"I REALLY DON'T WANT TO GO TO THIS, BETTY." Adelaine stated, zipping up her burgundy dress.
"Yeah, me either. But do it for Veronica, I guess."
"I'm not doing shit for Veronica, I'm doing this because you and Cheryl want me too. That Nick kid isn't even that cute."
"I agree." Betty had been giving short answers to everyone that night, and Adelaine had noticed it and it bothered her that Betty wouldn't talk to her.
"Betty, will you please tell me what's wrong." Adelaine frowned, pulling her hair up into a ponytail. "I hate it when you don't open up to me about things."
"Nothing is wrong, Addie." She sighed out. "I'm just tired, that's all."
"It's the Black Hood thing, isn't it? It's taking a toll on you." Adelaine accused, looking over her shoulder at Betty who stared at the ground. The Black Hood calls hadn't ceased yet, and he had been using Betty as his own personal pawn. He made her publish Alice Cooper's serpent mugshot, and she refused to admit it but she felt guilty. "He's making you do something tonight, isn't he? Don't lie to me."
Betty was silent, and looked up at her. "He's making me cut ties with Veronica."
If it were any other occasion, Adelaine would be jumping for joy and organizing a parade over this news, but the look in Betty's eyes made any joyful feelings cease. She was hurting over it, and Adelaine couldn't help but put herself in Betty's shoes, and she'd be heartbroken if she was forced to end her friendship with Cheryl or Rowan.
"As much as I hate Veronica, I understand that it hurts Betty. Veronica cares about you, I'm sure at some point you two will reconcile at some point again."
Tears streamed down Betty's face, and she shook her head. "I don't know if I can get myself out of this one, Addie."

"And then, we walk into the Gilded Lily, and there's Gal! Again!" Nick told the group, earning laughs from few people.
"Amazing." Adelaine drawled from her spot beside Kevin, Nick either oblivious to her sarcasm or just ignoring it.
"It is, isn't it Adelaine?"
"Gal?" Archie asked confused, completely out of the loop.
"Gadot." Cheryl snapped. "Keep up, Archiekins."
"A refill, s'il vous plait?" Veronica held her empty glass out.
