"Don't let go"

40-the after party and family

Betty's Point Of View-

I don't think there is anything like prom in this whole entire universe. A bunch of people who have been at war with each other all year come together to dance to the top 40, and act like their social statuses don't exist. For example, I'm pretty sure Archie Andrews has just left with non other than Megan Mertyl.

Why is this so surprising? Well the red-headed jock would never be caught dead with a south sider three months ago, but look at him now.

I was enjoying myself even though I was being a wall flower, I sat and ate the snacks that Jughead brought over to our table and we were watching everybody. Observing, Reggie mantle was on his ass drunk and the teachers were just "confiscating his hip flask" but taking it for them selves. I think me and Jug where two of the handful of people here who weren't drunk.

We sat and talked to each other over the loud music, throwing Doritos at one another, laughing with each other, getting selfies, once again we were in our own little world.

"Ladies and gentlemen, and Jughead" Cheryl said over the microphone which caused everyone to laugh, I just pouted my lips at him when he threw her the finger, but it was all in good fun.

"The moment you've all been waiting for, the crowning of riverside highs very first prom king, and queen!" She shouted and everyone cheered.

"Definitely going to be Archie and Cheryl, they're the two most popular in the school" I shouted over to jughead and he nodded in agreement.

We whooped and cheered when sweet pea and Veronica were prom prince and princess, I know Cheryl is so extra.

"Well you guys have been voting for the past four weeks and I can reveal that the prom king is...." Cheryl said as she opened up the envelope.

"Who the hell is Forsythe Pendleton Jones?" Cheryl said confused and it was all quiet except for my laughter, I laughed so hard I cried.

"Go get your crown" I laughed shoving him up on his feet and towards the stage.

"Did you have anything to do with this?" He asked me as he leaned down to give me a kiss.

"Nope, all you" I smiled kissing him back and watched him make his way through the crown, everyone patting his back and whistling and cheering for him. He wouldn't know how popular he actually is because he never shows his face in school. He's a living breathing legend.

I watched Cheryl hug him with a grin and then put the crown on his head and the sash saying "prom king 2018" and then shove the microphone into his hands.

"I wasn't prepared for this I just came for the food" he chuckled and everybody laughed, I just leaned back in my seat and admired the way the spotlights were on him, illuminating him, making him look like an angel.

"But Thankyou anyway I guess" he  said handing the microphone back to Cheryl. Cheryl was handed another envelope, and I hoped to god she won, other wise she would be crushed.

"And your prom queen is..." Cheryl announced opening the enveloping and reading what it said. Her eyes widened and a grin spread across her face. It was her. She won.

"Elizabeth cooper!" Cheryl yelled and Jughead immediately started clapping. I made my way to the stage and everybody hugged me, I felt like I was a celebrity at an award show.

"Congratulations" Cheryl beamed giving me my crown and I went to stand with Jughead.

"Did you have anything to do with this!" I whispered.

"You did it all by yourself baby girl!" He whispered back and we danced a slow dance with a million sets of eyes on us. How odd this must be, this time a few months ago I was off the rails and Jughead was dead, how did we get voted prom king and queen?
