Jokes On You (Veronica Lodge)

Chapter 12

Normally it wouldn't take but ten minutes to get to the Whyte Wyrm. Queenie speeds and ignores red lights and stop signs it's not a surprise we can get across town in no time, however, today ten minutes had past and we were only halfway through RiverHell. Queenie wasn't speeding and she was actually obeying the rules of the road. Which is something I should be happy about, yet, I wasn't.

I wanted to get out of Riverhell as fast as possible. I didn't want to be in town when the glorious Chuck Clayton picked Veronica up for their 'date.' Hell, I didn't want to return to Riverhell after their date. I don't know why I'm being so jealous it's not like I'm dating Veronica.

"Joker, if you don't stop glaring like that your face is going to get stuck," Queenie stated. I turned and glared right back at her. I should be nicer to Queenie and I should stop moping, but i'm not going to.

Before I can process my own thoughts Queenie has stopped her car, but not at the Whyte Wyrm. To be completely honest, I don't know where Queenie stopped the car.

"Queenie, where the hell are we," I question while looking around at the abandoned parking lot. Queenie didn't answer me instead she walked over to my side of the car and threw open my door.

"Is this where you kill me? Cause if so I have some complaints." I joke trying to get anything out of Queenie. Where ever we are, I'm assuming not many people actually come to this abandoned parking lot, I mean it's all grown up. Which means one thing, I'm not going to have any fun haunting this place. We walked in silence towards the far corner of the parking lot, we were getting as far away from the road as we could without having to go in the woods.

"We've talked about this you can't kill me here, there's like nobody I could torment," I whisper while looking around. There's no way she'd kill me before a con right? She is still injured from the last con so there's no way she'd want to do it alone. Unless she's not still injured, which i highly doubt, but if she weren't injured anymore she would totally kill me.

"Carter Casey, we need to talk about you moping because your crush is going on a date. Come on Cece, you didn't even ask her out, you can't be mad that she's on a date." Virgil lectured me. I mean she's not wrong, but still.

"Listen, I don't get why I'm moping alright! Maybe it's because I went through all that stress this morning about Betty that I just wanted to see my crush and pretend like she could like me!" I reply while being my most dramatic self and flailing my arms around. The dramatics were just for show though, I mean it really sucks when life points out that your crush could never like you.

"You don't know that, it's one date Cece," Virgil said as an attempt to console me.

"Yeah it's just one date Virgil, but it's a date with a guy. It just further proves that she only likes guys," I rant. She only talks about cute guys at Riverdale never girls so maybe I'm just assuming but the possibility that she'd ever like me are very slim.

"Cece" Virgil starts but I quickly cut her off.

"Can we just go do our mission?" I practically beg. Virgil looks at me with concern but eventually gives in.

"Fine, but we aren't done with this Carter and we will talk about it later," She said with a stern expression.

"I guess, if we have too." I respond really not wanting to have to talk about this again. I'd rather get taken hostage then have to talk about this again.

We walked back to her car together and it was silent, but not an uncomfortable silence like it has been. Once at the car we sit in it for a minute before Queenie turns and looks at me. Oh no, what has she done this time?
