"Don't let go"

25-history and georgraphy

Betty's Point Of View-

I was still hot news by the Friday, everyone just looked at me and stared. I wasn't that special.

"History and geography and then home time" Veronica sighed coming to sit beside me, under the tree where I was smoking out of the way from everyone.

"Hey V" I sighed leaning against the tree.

"Quick B, mr weatherbee's coming put that out" Veronica urged and I just laughed.

"Miss cooper" he said sternly.

"Mr.W" I greeted with a smile on my face.

"I'm going to have to ask you to put that out" he rolled his eyes.

"And I'm going to have to tell you no" I laughed.

"I don't know who you're trying to impress here miss cooper, but this is not you, not at all!" He shook his head.

"All due respect Mr Weatherbee but you were only interested in my life when I was getting your school good grades and a good reputation, so don't come at me telling me to put my cigarette out when you smoke yourself? What does that make you sir?" I said in my "Jughead" tone.

"I don't know what does that make me Elizabeth" he sighed.

"Oh, don't call me elizabeth, only my mom calls me that but she can't any more because you know why she's dead, so is my boyfriend, my fathers in prison for murdering half of the town and I live in a 20ft tin trailer so if I want five minutes out of my day, to myself I will take it and spend that five minutes smoking sir" I said in the same sarcastic tone.

"But school policy.." he started.

"That school policy went out of the window when the south siders started infiltrating these halls, so you enjoy the rest of your day, bye now mr weatherbee" I laughed as he just put his head down and walked away.

"B, I never knew you were such a bad ass" Veronica giggled.

"Was taught everything I know by the man himself" I smiled fondly and Veronica just smiled too.

"Well what the hell, I might as well have a one now" Veronica said pulling out her own box.

Just as Veronica started smoking FP rang me.

"How's your day?" He said, he sounded happy.

"Good how's yours?" I smiled.

"I Haven't made anyone cry today? Have you?" He chuckled, and for a minute I felt like I was on the phone to jughead.

"No, but it's only 1:30" I smiled.

"Well I just rang you to say there's a seat on the board, if you want it" he said.

"But that's Jugheads place, I've barely been a serpent five minutes" I gasped.

"If he was here what would he want you to do?" He laughed.

"He would say: Betty are you stupid? Does your brain not work, take the chair, my blondie should be in charge" I giggled.

"Exactly, first meeting, after school, be there and also, if I get one more phone call because your being a smart ass I'll have to pretend like I care again!" He laughed.

"FP it's not my fault I was enjoying my lunch having a ciggy and they tried to take it off me" I laughed.

"Baby girl, how many times have I told you" he laughed.

"I have to go to my class, I'll see you after school" I laughed and ended the call and looked up at Veronica.

"He really is your best friend isn't he?" Veronica laughed.

"He's the closest thing I have to Juggy, don't want him to leave me too" I hummed.

"But you have to admit, mr Jones is a dilf, like a daddy" Veronica laughed.

"Ronnie, that's disgusting!" I laughed getting up and straightening my jacket takin her arm and linking it in hers as we walked to the class.

I walked into my history class and saw that the only seat was next to Archie Andrews.

I hugged and threw my bag down and swung the chair out before plopping down onto it and shooting him an evil glare.

"Nice to see you blondie" he smiled, as if nothing happened.

I scoffed and rolled my eyes at him looking over at Veronica and she just gave me a sad smile.

"You still mad because your stupid boyfriend kicked the shit out of me?" He scoffed.

"What did you just call him?" I said turning around and tilting my head.

"So now I have your attention? Where is he at? Haven't seen him but I've seen his scummy pals"  he sang.

I stood up and got my bag to leave, but Archie stood up after me.

"I said where's your big bad boyfriend Betty" Archie laughed and everyone watched.

I punched him, across his stupid face, and then when he doubled over in pain I kneed him in the nuts.

"Fuck off Archie" I laughed and when the teacher came in she almost hit the roof.

"Elizabeth Cooper!" She screamed and I just rolled my eyes.

I just stuck my finger up at her walking out the class room and out of the doors to my bike, headed straight for the bar and didn't even stop to acknowledge Veronica running behind me.

"Baby girl" FP said confused as I walked into the bar.

"Hey" I said going behind the bar and getting a beer, setting one down in front of him as he sat on the stool in front of me.

"What happened?" He sighed and I stood filling my beer.

"I punched someone" I rolled my eyes.

"What did she do?" He laughed.

"Well it was that guy who Jughead kicked the shit out of the night, he umm, went" I started.

"Son of a bitch" He gasped.

"Yeah and then he was like telling me to go and get him, like he didn't know what happened and I just lost my temper and flipped the teacher off and left" I sighed taking another swig of my beer, I looked at FP who was on the phone.

"Hi this Forsythe Jones, Betty's guardian" he said.

He listened for a few minutes and then started speaking again.

"Yes, I'm well aware of what happened, I don't see how she's in the wrong but if you want to punish her for sticking up for my dead son, i will be removing her from Riverdale High immediately, along with her perfect 4.0" he smiled into the phone and it made me giggle.

"Hey baby girl" croaky joe came behind me.

"Hey joe" I said giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Meeting in five" he smiled then left.

I couldn't be more honoured that I'd be sat on the right FP, on Jugheads throne.
