12: The competition (Part 2)

*2.5 hours later*

Betty's POV

"On 2nd place, Jughead Jones!" we hear. I'm kinda dissapointed, that Chic won over him, but hey, he's still my brother and I'm happy for both of them.

We cheer as loud as we can, and it's loud, cause all the Serpents are here who don't feel embarrased. I'm so in love with them.

"And on 1st place in 2000-2001 born boys' category.... Charles Cooper!"

We as loud again. I already know so many of the Serpents and they really like us and they missed mom so much, so they cheer too.

He gets his trophy just like Jug and the others did. Someone takes pictures and so Chic pulls Jug and inbites the other boy on 3rd place to stand on the 1st podium. I chuckle as the three of them try to fit.

Once they've done the pictures, they come to us and Jug hugs me, lifting me up from the ground. I giggle and he places me back down after kissing my cheek. I hug Chic as well and he teases me as always.

"Now. 2000-2001 born girls! In the first heat are..." and he says 6 names. I'm not in it. I sigh, so nervous.

"You'll be fine," Jug tells me.

I sigh, "Let's hope so," I say.

"You wanna cuddle or watch how they compete?" he asks me quietly.

"I need to watch, but we can cuddle and the same time," I smile at him.

"Oh really?" he smirks.

"Uh-uh," I say.

He kisses my nose. "Okay, but that towel isn't helping. It's soaked," he says and drops it on the sand.

"It's warm when you finally get dry anyways," I chuckle.

"You're dry, I'm not," he smirks.

I slide my hands over his biceps, "You're dry," I smile big.

"And you just got to do that," he smirks.

I chuckle and take his hand, "Come on I need a good place to see what tecniques these girls have," I say.

He sits down on a good place, in front of the Serpents, but also a little to their left, so we'd have a little privacy. Though our friends are pretty close, but who cares.

He stretches his legs out and pats his muscled thighs for me to sit down. I smile and sit onto/between his thighs and cross my legs on his lap. He pulls me against his body and wraps his arms around me.

I smile and turn my head a little. He's looking at me with these beautiful greenish eyes full of love. I put my hand on his cheek and kiss him. Until the siren goes on. I pull away and smile at him and he pecks my lipd one more time.

I turn my head back and we both start looking at my possible opponents. The red one, who Jordan talked about, is there.

*Time pass, 30 minutes* 

"Next round. Elizabeth Cooper,..." I zoom out to take deep breaths.

"Hey," Jug whispers, his chin on my shoulder. I look at him with my head. He keese my cheek. "I love you, you'll do amazing out there," he says.

I smile. "I love you too, baby," I say and kiss him.

We both get up and walk to the others and to my board. Everyone is quiet, not telling me anything, which I appreciate. I attach the board to my ankle and get it under my arm.
