Betty POV

I'm betty cooper I am 15 years old and I live in the SSQ because they say my mother thought I was a mistake and was ashamed in me and what I have become so she abandoned me in here.

It's another day all alone in the grey dark room with just a bet desk and a lot of books and pens and a bin. I wake up and wait for one of the doctors to come in and bring me to the bathroom to get a shower and get ready. I know it sounds all nice and fancy but trust me it's not it's all dark and dirty and moldy, the showers barely work and it's cold water, I have not had a bath or hot water in 6 years but I am used to it by now.

Sister woodhouse was sitting on my bed when I came back from the showers and she told me to sit."Elisabeth you have a visitor today someone who is looking into adopting you so you have to act your best and you HAVE TO TALK TO THEM! I have had enough of you and your games for the past six years I truly think your mother sending you hear was probably the best decision of her life." I just sat there with a tear escaping my eye and rolling down my face but I quickly wiped it away. I have not talked to anyone in 4 years I have been here 6 but for the first 2 I spoke because I trusted them and thought they were family but I was wrong."Are we clear Elisabeth!?" She snaps and I just stay silent, then she slaps me across the face "Your a mut!" And then she walkes out of the room and I just start to sob.

I'm Jughead and I am 15 years old and I go to Southside high and I am a south side serpent well the prince and soon to be king. I am walking home like everyday with my friends Toni, sweet pea and fangs as we all walk into my trailer I see my dad.

"Hey dad" "Hey how was school? I got you pops" "It was fine and thanks" I say as I take the pops out of the fridge and walk to the couch where the rest of them are. "Any news" I ask "Uh yeah but I better tell you alone" the rest of them got the hint and took a burger and left. "So what did you want to tell me?" "Well I am kind of looking into adopting a kid from the SSQ how would you like that?" He asks me with an interest face, I think for about a minute and reply "I don't mind like they have no family so I understand where you are coming from" he looks at me with a shocked and proud face "Wait your serious I don't have to prosesde you?" He asked in shock "Nope she can stay in my room if you want?" I offered "Wait your not just doing this so you can get a girlfriend are you?" "Ew no dad I'm not, really" I say in disgust "Ok ok I was just asking" he says chuckling.
