"once they reached the trailer, jughead closed the door and looked at her for a second. what game are you playing?"

jughead's alarm went off, signaling it was time for school. he stretched a bit to try to get him up, but was unsuccessful.

jughead's alarm went off again, and this time, he woke up with a start. he turned his alarm off and saw that it was 10:25 a.m., which is around 3rd period.

jughead truthfully didn't want to get up, but he needed to if he wanted to graduate high school, go to college, and become a writer.

they were still gonna put an absence in the system, no doubt, but at least he had one of his favorite classes still which is ap history.

jughead sat up on his bed, rubbing his eyes to try to get the tiredness out of him, and stood up to go to the bathroom.

after he was finished doing his bathroom routine, he went back to his room to put on his clothes. (which was literally the same thing everyday.)

what he wore was (obvious) a "s" shirt that was black, some navy ripped jeans, and a red flannel wrapped around his waist.

when jughead was finished, he got his keys and phone, went out his room, put on his black converses, got his bag, and headed out the front door.

jughead walks to school, so halfway through, he realized he forgot his beanie, which he didn't really fuss about. it was just a beanie, why would anyone care?

once jughead made it to school, he checked his phone to see what time it was: 10:54 a.m., which meant lunch wouldn't start for another 16 or so minutes.

jughead headed in the cafeteria and sat down where him and his friends normally sat at. well, actually, veronica isn't technically jughead's friend. he was basically forced to "befriend" her just because archie and betty were friends with her.

jughead crossed him arms and laid down on them, slowly drifting to sleep. why would he wait over 10 minutes just for lunch to start?

jughead awoken to someone touching his shoulder. (and most definitely "massaging" it, but he wouldn't admit that.) he slowly put his head up, meeting veronica's face with disgust.

"jesus, you look like shit." veronica said flatly.

"wow, okay; thanks," jughead grumbled, putting his head back down to stare at the wall. "what time is it?"

"hun, it's night time."

jughead turned his head to veronica fast and surely his eyes would've popped out his head. did he really just sleep till night time and nobody said anything?

that's when veronica laughed obnoxiously which caused some people to look over at them. jughead rolled his eyes and went back in the position he was in before.

"kidding! lunch is about to start," veronica put both legs under the table and looked at jughead with confusion and concern. "hey. i haven't seen you all day and," veronica's hand went towards jughead's hair which made him flinch a bit. "where's your beanie?"

jughead mentally rolled his eyes. of course veronica would notice. she notices everything. flaws, success, failure, strengths, you name it.

"i overslept and i left it at home." jughead answered vaguely. veronica hummed in approval, but kept touching, well, now running through his hair, but he didn't stop her. it's like he's felt her hands before, which surely, they never touched.

jughead didn't want to admit it, but her fingers felt like his mother's when she was rubbing his cheek or something, but he doesn't talk about her anymore.

"well," veronica took her hand away from jughead's hair, which was the exact same time archie and betty came in the cafeteria. "you should keep it off more often; it's cute."

jughead didn't know why but, why did it feel like he's felt those hands before?
