"So last night was big fun," Evelyn says and I roll my eyes harshly at her cringey words, "But now it's time to dig deep. So, we're each gonna share something that we've never told anyone before. Big or small."
"Boo," I growl at the idea. Honestly at this point it's a therapy circle with singing and dancing. I'd rather die than tell these people anything.
"So," Evelyn says ignoring me and instead looks to the other more supportive cast, "does no one have a burden that the rest of us can help shoulder?" Kev sighs sitting up to respond.
"I'm being haunted by Midge's ghost," he admits to us looking slightly crazy, "I've been thinking about her all the time since rehearsals started and I just I just - feel so guilty."
"- I've been seeing her, too," Fangs says, "Not her ghost. But in nightmares." Evelyn chuckles nervously looking between them as she stands.
"How beautiful," She says, "Through revealing their truth, these two young men have found an unexpected connection, perhaps more.So, um, who would like to go next?"
"I've got something," Sweet Pea says. I sigh looking over at him. Why is he buying into this? "I know it was just supposed to be a summer fling, - and, uh, she didn't want a relationship." He sighs as Josie rolls her eyes slightly. He's still on this? He must have really liked her because the Sweet Pes i know is not this open about anything. "But I did. So it really blew to see Archie and Josie getting cozy last night."
"Arch,- are you and Josie dating?" Betty asks smirking slightly.
"-Well, I mean-" Archie trials off.
"Uh," Josie starts, "I don't see why you care you and Y/n were making out last night! Isn't her king going to be mad?"
"Josie!" I say harshly.
"You were making out with Sweet Pea," Betty asks me, "aren't you getting back together with Jug?"
"Guys-" Evelyn starts.
"You and Jughead broke it off?" Cheryl asks harshly. I run my temples at the sudden spiral off my bullshit life.
"When did you and Sweet Pea start hooking up? Before or after Betty?" Kevin asks me. I look to him signaling for him to shut up.
"You hooked up with Betty?" Sweet Pea and several others ask at once. I sigh loudly.
"See Evelyn this is why we don't have open discussions!" I say harshly to her, "it's not always helpful."
"Wait I didn't know you were gay," Sweet Pea says beside me, "holy crap was I a cover up?"
"No I'm not gay you dumbass," I say harshly, "and I'm single so I can have a hookup with whoever I want with consent. Now move on." They obey the demand.
"Did you know about Archie and Josie?" Reggie asks Veronica suspiciously.
"- What?" She asks apparently no seeing the connection, "No, I had no idea."
