Chapter 4

Braveheart sat in the student lounge. She had her earphones in and her laptop on her lap. She was wearing dark red clothing and her black beanie. She types away humming along to the music she is listening. She has a small smile on her face. She loved writting this story, it was amazing. She glanced up and saw Betty rushing by. She looked upset. Braveheart pulled her earphones out and put her laptop next to her. She jumped to her feet and ran after Betty.

"Bets!" Braveheart shouted down the hallway following Betty. She always used to call her Bets. Betty stopped when she heard the old nickname. "Bets? Are you okay?" Braveheart asked a small frown etched on her face. She adjusted her beanie.

"It's just, Arch. I thought I could deal with it but I can't. I can't act like it didn't happen." Betty said holding back tears. Braveheart pulled her into a hug.

"It's okay, Bets. Sometimes you just can't let stuff go that easily." Braveheart sighed hugging Betty tightly. Betty hugged Braveheart back.

"I just. I need to stay away from him for a while." Betty said. Braveheart broke away from Betty.

"It's okay, Bets. Take your time." Braveheart said smiling. Betty nodded and turned away from Braveheart. She strolled away from Braveheart trying to calm herself down. Braveheart sighed and walked back to the student lounge.

Braveheart and Jughead strolled down the corridor. They were both being relatively quiet. They both looked so similar in that moment. They both had beanies on and headphones. Braveheart had a backpack but Jughead had a book bag. They both pulled their headphones off simultaneously. Jughead beckoned Braveheart towards the music room door. They both looked in to see Grundy and Archie basically making out. Braveheart looked at Jughead with shock. He grabbed Braveheart's arm and dragged her away.

"What the fuck was that?" Braveheart whispered to him as she was dragged away. He turned a corner and stopped.

"I don't know what that was. Bit it is wrong. We need to ask Archie about it." Jughead said looking at her. She shook her head lightly.

"He's being an idiot." She sighed rubbing her face with her hands.

"I know, Brave. I know. He needs to stop before someone else finds out. We can not tell anyone about this. No one." He said firmly. She sighed.

"Whatever, Juggie. That is wrong. He cannot keep doing that." She sighed again. Her heart ached at the sight and she could hear it crack but she ignored it. He nodded and walked away putting his headphones back on. Braveheart did the same and walked out the school behind Jughead.

Archie walked up to his porch stairs. Jughead and Braveheart were both sat on the stairs. Neither of them looked particularly happy with Archie.

"Jug?" He said then looked at Braveheart. His face twisted in slight disgust but it disappeared when he looked back to Juggie. "What's up?" He asked completely ignoring her presence. He looked around looking almost nervous.

"What's up is I sas you, Archie." Jughead said getting to his feet.

"We both did." Braveheart said not moving from her position on the stairs. She liked the Andrew's residence. It always felt homey to her. She always used to hang out with Archie and it became a second home to her.
