(Recap: move in with Kevin, Jughead has feelings for Betty. We're over his bull)

I drank a cup of coffee and walked out to my car where I had already been keeping most of I belongings since me and Jug had started fighting. I got my makeup and an outfit and walked back into Kev's house.

Outfit:

(Basically this except with a black oversized sweater also)

I do my makeup and try to not look dead but you can see the bags under my eyes even with the makeup. I pull my hair up into a neat bun with strands hanging down in the front. I walk out of the bathroom and sit on the couch. "Y/n... You look....great...?" Kevin says tilting his head.

"Kev, I don't have the energy to look good." I say. "Fair enough" he says. "Hey Kev are you ready right now?" I ask, "yeah but we still have like 20 minutes until we have to leave" he says "yeah but can we please leave early? I want to stop at the gas station." I say. "Yeah that's fine" he says with a smile and we walk out to the car.

********

We pull up to the gas station and I go in, I get a coffee and 4 of the 5 hour energies. I just needed to survive the day. I also get Kevin some flavored water because I'm a good friend and I go check out. When I get outside I stuff the 5 hour energies in my sweater pockets before getting in the car so Kevin doesn't see I have them.

I get in the car and set the bag on the floor "Ready for hell?" I say to him before speeding out of the parking lot. We get to school a little early still, which was how I planned it. I leave Kevin to go do whatever...Kevins do...and I go try to find Reggie.

I remembered Archie staying that Reggie always gets to school early to use the weight room so that's where I head. I walk down the silent halls listening to the sound of my shoes on the hall floor. As I get to the weight room I look into the window and sure enough there he is.

I slowly open the door not to startle him, soon realizing that he has his head phones in so it doesn't matter. I tap him on the shoulder and he steps of the treadmill, taking his earbuds out. "Y/n...hey what's up?" he says. "Listen Reggie, I'm having a rough day. I heard you could help." I say handing him a 20.

"Are you talking about what I think you're talking about?" He asks confused. "You're the only dealer I know." I say. "This 20 can get you 5 joints." He says, "well do you have any right now?" I ask, "Of course I do, never wanna miss out on an opportunity like this one right here." he says smiling.

"Alright Reggie, well then I'll take 5." I say as I take a 5 hour energy out of my pocket and down it. "I always thought you were this kind of girl." he says smirking and leading me to the locker room. He gives me the joints and I run out of the locker room as fast as humanly possible as my first class was in 10 minutes and people were starting to file into the halls. I take my coffee out of my backpack and I start to drink it while walking the semi-crowded hallways.

'I'm so stupid, I mean seriously? Buying joints from Reggie? Is that what my life has come to?'

I think shaking my head as I walk down the hallway.

********

My free period finally comes and I go out to the stands where we have our football games. I go to the top of one of them and sit on the floor where people's feet would go. I know that unless someone was looking for me nobody would see me up here.

I set my half empty coffee down next to me and pull my lighter and a joint out of my backpack pocket and lighting it. I put the joint to my mouth inhaling and exhaling. I knew that I had to be sneaky because if I know my friends they would be looking for me and that's the only time hiding up here doesn't work.

I start to smoke the joint faster hoping to get the most out of it before my friends catch me up here. I end up finishing half of the joint before putting it out on the seat in front of me. I see Betty, Veronica, Archie, and Kevin coming around the corner. I roll my eyes and stuff the joint and the lighter back in my backpack.

I shut my eyes and sit for a second mentally preparing myself for Betty Cooper. Who, being honest, I never wanted to see ever again in my whole life.

I open my eyes to see Levin pointing at me as all of my "friends" start sprinting up the stands. "Hey, Archie said you would probably be here" Veronica says, getting to me before anyone else did. "Guess he was right" I say looking down. Soon everyone else also gets up to me. I look up and see that Archie, Veronica, and Kevin's eyes are filled with concern.

Meanwhile I can tell Betty is trying to seem like she's concerned when she's not. "What's up? Why are you...here?" Archie asks. "Well I'm watching the football game, obviously." I say with a strait face pointing at the empty football field. "Seriously?" Archie says.

"Can you please just ask Kevin, I don't want to have to explain it again." I say. They all turn slightly to Kevin. "Umm...well...Jughead kinda, has uhh feelings for someone else..." Kevin says struggling. "Oh my god y/n are you ok?" Veronica says putting a hand on my leg. "No...I'm not honestly." I say looking down. "Who? Who? Who?" Betty asks. "Who what..?" I ask.

"Well who does he have feelings for???" Betty says almost excited... "some blonde bitch." I say narrowing my eyes at her. "Wait, do you mean..." Veronica says catching on a little quicker than I expected anyone to.

"Yuh huh." I say. "Oh my god really?!?" She says in disgust, "Yeah. And let me just say...they fucking deserve each other." I say. Veronica wraps me in a hug. She pulls away confused.

"Hey y/n we can talk later but I gotta go talk to the wrestling coach." Kevin says as he almost runs down the bleachers. Veronica gets close to me again, sniffing me. "Are you...high?!?" She asks. I don't change my facial expression though.

I start to open my backpack pocket and take the already half done joint out and the lighter, I light the joint and take a puff as everyone looks at me astonished. "Well we all know now don't we? So might as well not hide it." I say exhaling. "Oh my god?!?!? Are you kidding me y/n?! Drugs?!?!?" Betty says, "Well at least I'm not a backstabbing bitch." I say.

"What?" she says lowering her voice. "Don't act like I didn't fucking notice. I'm not blind. We all fucking noticed. You and Jughead. Constantly flirting." I say raising my voice. "Don't dare trying to look like the good one here!" I say putting the joint up to my mouth again.

Archie takes the joint out my hand throwing it on the ground and crushing it below his foot. "Y/n stop...and Betty, I think you should go." he says. "Are you kidding? You're picking this druggie over me?!?!?" Betty yells.

"Well this "druggie" has been dealing with having to watch you flirting with her boyfriend for months so...yeah I am picking her over you right now. Leave Betty." he says.

Betty scoffs and walks down the bleachers quickly disappearing. "Y/n...in so sorry..." Veronica says, and I don't even have the energy to cry. I just stare into her understanding eyes.

Ummmm yIkeS aM I RiGHt
