Chapter 9

Can we get as many votes as my last chapter?

Betty POV:

I slowly began to wake up and so did Cheryl and Jason. We all got changed and went downstairs for breakfast. Penelope had made pancakes for us, they smelt delicious. I remember when I was younger and I would sleep over here I would always look forward to the mornings because I knew she would make her amazing pancakes. We scoff those down and head to school.

It was a peaceful walk spent with the three of us laughing about old memories we had of each other. It's good just to laugh.

We arrive at school and then head our separate ways to find our friends. I as usual head to the student lounge. I walk in and take a seat on the couch, no one was there yet so I stay on my phone for a while. I tried to focus on the screen but I just couldn't, not after yesterday with Malachi.

I wish I could change things. He means so much to me. I want to have that friendship with him that we had when we were younger. The days when we had no worry's, the days we were allowed to be friends. But everything had changed and now we're both stuck in a situation we can't get out of or change.

Soon enough everyone starts crowding into the lounge. I was talking with Jughead majority of the time. I love the way his face lights up when he laughs, the way he's always so kind to me, basically everything. But he has a girlfriend and I feel so horrible for thinking like this.

The bell rings and I have a class with Sweet Pea. We walked to class together and took a seat next to each other. I noticed he was acting a little different this morning and he was giving me weird looks when I was talking to Jughead, could he know I like him? I really hope not.

Betty: what's going on? I ask him.
Sweet Pea: I figured out who you like. He says with that mischievous grin on his face.
Betty: and who would that be? I say raising an eyebrow. Don't say Jughead.
Sweet Pea: Jughead. He says. Fuck. The only thing I can do now is deny it.
Betty: he has a girlfriend so no. I say. He chuckles. What could be funny?

Sweet Pea: first off, they broke up. He says. That's good to know.
Sweet Pea: and your blushing. He says. Well, I've definitely been caught.
Betty: fine I like him, are you happy? I say to him.
Sweet Pea: yep. He says with a chuckle. I roll my eyes.
Sweet Pea: now me and Joaquin can get you two together. He says casually. I nearly died.
Betty: there's no way you're telling anyone let alone Joaquin. He probably doesn't even like me in that way, so don't even try.
Sweet Pea: you don't know that. He says.
Betty: trust me, he wouldn't. End of conversation. He laughs and then lets it go for the rest of the lesson.

I know he'll tell Joaquin though and they'll plan something. Let's hope this doesn't ruin my relationship with Jughead. We've only recently become friends, but we're already really close and I don't want to ruin that because I couldn't control my feelings for him.

Sweet Pea POV:

Now that I know they both like each other it will be so much easier to get them together. I just need to tell Joaquin so we can figure out a subtle way of getting them together. It's funny how they both don't think the other likes them, if only they knew. I'm determined to get them together.

I know it's weird that I've so invested in helping Betty, it's just she's done so much for me, including letting me live with her. I want her to be happy, after everything she has been through she deserves to have someone who'll always put her first.

We continue on with the rest of the day, which was boring and the teachers drowning us in homework. On the Southside we never got homework, or if we did we never did it. But here we get it every day and I don't understand any of it. I get Betty to help me most of the time.
