Betty's POV
Today is the day when it hit me, today is the day where I realised that I am never good enough for anyone.
4 months ago my family and I moved to a town called Riverdale cause my dad got a job, and I had to leave so many people behind like my best friend Toni, we grew up together and did everything together, we weren't just best friends...we were sisters. Then there was Fangs, he was the best gay friend a girl could ask for, he told me gossip and always seemed to put a smile on my face. Then we have Sweet Pea he was my best friend, other than Toni...of course, but he was like my protective older brother, he would always make sure no one would hurt me or do anything harsh to me and I loved him for that.
But now I don't have any of them, yes we all still keep in touch and everything but it's not the same. Sometimes when I've had a rough day I just want one of them here with me telling me everything is going to be okay, comforting me and putting a smile on my face.
Like today for example, 2 months ago I started crushing on this guy, Archie Andrews, he is the captain of the football team and he literally has every girl in the school drooling over him so I am not that surprised that he caught my eye. So today I decided to tell him and see whether he feels the same, i see him with his friends in the lounge room. (I am Australian and we don't have lounge rooms so I don't even know if it is called a lounge room lol sorry)
"Hi, um...Archie?" I say nervously.
"Um, do I know you?" He says not even looking at me.
"Oh...um no, I am actually new here, my name is Betty...but um...I-I was wondering if yo-" I start.
"Look Tiffany, I get that you would want to date me but I just don't think that me, the most popular guy at school would date some ugly nobody like you!" he says STILL not looking at me. Tears start filling my eyes.
"Okay first of all it's BETTY, and second of all fuck you! I thought that you were different than all the other guys but clearly not, you are the same selfish jerk, also you know what I am glad I'm not gonna date you in fact I feel sorry for whoever dates you cause they will have to date a dick head!" I scream at him hoping to get the message across but like any other jerk he just looked at me, finally and said,
"Um whatever your name is, you're new here so I'm gonna say this as nice as possible...I don't like you in fact why would I? Because let's face it, I am the captain of the football team, I have every girl basically drooling over me and I'm actually cool. Whereas you, well you're just a little girl desperate for attention so you slut around with every guy you see...to bad the don't what a fat nobody you are." he scoffs, then his jock friends surround him and one of them give him a high five.
"you don't know anything about me!" I scream with tears streaming down my face.
"I don't need to, but um Betty was it, I suggest you leave before you embarrass yourself even more."
I just stare at him, tears running down my face, I can't believe I ever had the slightest crush on him, he is such a jerk. I run out of the lounge room and run into the Blue and Gold, that has been my safe place lately. Soon I hear a knock on the door, I quickly wipe away her tears.
"Come in!" I say.
"Hey Betty." I hear a familiar voice say.
"Hey Jughead."
Me and Jughead have been working in the Blue and Gold for the past two weeks, he seems like a really nice guy unlike Archie.
"Oh my god Betty, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" he says, his voice filled with worry.
"Oh, don't worry It's nothing, I don't want to bore you by dumping my problems on you."
"Please tell me, It kills me to see you cry, please tell me what's wrong."
"Okay, so you know Archie Andrews right?" he nods, "Well I kinda had a slight crush on him and I decided that I would tell him today so when I did he was a complete jerk like 1. he got my name wrong 2. he called me ugly and 3. he said that a guy like him would never like a nobody like me. And what if it's true, like what's wrong with me? Am I not pretty enough? Am I not popular enough? Am I that unlovable? He embarrassed me in front of all his friends and-"
"Hey Betty, you are not what Archie says, you are not ugly, you are absolutely gorgeous, you're not a nobody, to me you are someone very important and you are pretty, and you know what? Fuck him! He has no clue what he's talking about, you are nowhere near the things he said. I know we haven't known each other for a long time, but you are the kindest, most caring, and prettiest person I know, so son't let some asshole like Archie bring you down!" he says squeezing my shoulder.
"Thanks Jug, I really needed this." I say still crying.
"Come here." he pulls me into a comforting hug while I cry on his chest.
*1 month later*
So it's been a month since I was humiliated and since Jug was there for me, speaking of which lately me and Juggie have been getting really close. He has told me about how his mom took his sister and left Riverdale when he was young, he has told me how his dad is an alcoholic, and he tells me how he feels. I have also told him about my controlling mom and how she wants me to be this perfect person, even tho I'm not and how it get's overwhelming. So we have become really close and It's nice to has him as a close friend.
I mean he is an amazing person, his smile lights up my day and his iconic, cute beanie just makes him look adorable- wait what...I like Jughead? Oh my god...I like Jughead, I need to tell him. But what if he doesn't like me or what if he likes someone else? Urgh he probably likes someone else...I mean i'm not pretty like Veronica Lodge or Cheryl Blossom.
Little did she know that a young weirdo with a crown-shaped beanie was crazy about the beautiful blonde, he would think about her everyday, of every hour, of every minute, of every second.
I was sitting on my bed when I heard a knock on my window, I look and see the one and only Jughead Jones. I smile and let him in.
"Um...you know I have a door right?" I say slightly giggling.
"Now that wouldn't of been any fun now would it?"
"I guess not." i smile at him. "So may I ask why you are here?" I question.
"What? Can't a guy come through a window and just see someone?"
"Sure," I reply with a smile.
It's now or never...
I look into his eyes, "Jug...there's something I have to tell you." I start. Holy crap I am actually doing this.
"Sure, what's up?"
"I-I-" I take a deep breath "I like you...a lot, I like you and everything about you, your smile, your sarcasm, your cute beanie, I love your personality. You know what, heck I...I love you."
There was nothing but silence, he wasn't saying anything just staring at me.
"I knew I should've said anything, you don't love me or even love me for that matter, what was I think-"
His lips felt so right and perfect, it was like heaven, finally it happened.
He pulls back, "I love you too, Betty Cooper, I have for a long time." he smiles. "Betty I can tell you now that you are not unlovable and you never will be."
THE END!
