Jughead POV:

Another morning, another day of school.

I woke up to the loud and annoying sound of my alarm going off. I turn if off and drag my body out of bed. The cold crisp morning air hits my body. I walk to my shower and turn on the hot water so I could warm up. After my shower I wrap the towel around the lower half of my body and walk back into my room.

I pick out a shirt and some jeans. I also take out a flannel and wrap it around my waist. I go back into the bathroom and dry my hair, I then place my beanie on my head.

I make some breakfast for myself and take a seat while I eat it. Once again I look over to the couch which once held memory's of a happy family which were now replaced by my drunken dad. I sigh to myself. I put my plate in the sink and then get my bag and head to school.

On the walk to school I think about Betty. I can't get her out of my head. Every little thing about her plays on my mind.

I arrive at school and walk towards the student lounge where the other Serpents would be. Along the way I saw Betty and this older guy talking. They seemed close. I just walk past them and continue walking to the student lounge. I caught up with Sweet Pea and Toni while Joaquin payed no attention to us, or anyone that wasn't Kevin. Betty has created a monster.

Betty soon joins us in the lounge, we all talked and laughed and luckily the bulldogs didn't show up and cause drama like yesterday.

The bell soon went and I had class with Sweet Pea. We walk to class together and take a seat at the back.

Through out the whole lesson he kept giving me this grin. I have no idea what was going through that nut sized brain of his but I need to know.

Jughead: what are you doing? I ask him finally giving up on ignoring him.
Sweet Pea: what? He says still wearing that grin on his face.
Jughead: the grin. I say starting to become impatient.
Sweet Pea: I know who you like. He says.

The already big grin on his face just grew a little more. How could he already know who I like? I've liked her for less then two days. Maybe he's bluffing and just trying to get me to confess. I try to act natural.

Jughead: and who would that be? I say trying to act calm as possible.
Sweet Pea: Betty. He says.

How the fuck am I suppose to hide this from her when Sweet Pea could tell so easily? I decided to play it off and deny it.

Jughead: Nope. I say. He laughs.
Sweet Pea: your blushing. Shit! I am so caught.
Jughead: ok, fine I do. I say.
Sweet Pea: I knew it. He says with a smirk.
Jughead: don't tell her, plus she wouldn't like me. I say to him.
Sweet Pea: true. He says.

My jaw dropped. Couldn't he at least act as if we may have a chance?

Jughead: thanks for being supportive. He chuckles.
Sweet Pea: I meant she may like you. But she has morals and wouldn't date someone who she thinks still has a girlfriend.
Jughead: so she might like me? I ask him.
Sweet Pea: maybe. He says.

This roller coaster of a conversation gave me a little bit of hope. Maybe she might like me if she knew I was single.

Jughead: how are we suppose to tell her subtly that I don't have a girlfriend?
Sweet Pea: leave this to me and Joaquin. He says.

I don't know whether to be happy he's helping me or nervous. What if they straight up tell her that I like her and it blows my cover? Or what if she finds out I like her and doesn't feel the same way?

Betty POV:

I was walking into school when I heard someone call my name, it was James. I walk over to him and we embrace each other in a hug. James is in the year level above me and is Archie's brother.
