Betty

Reading FiveFeetApart, there is only one thing not leaving my mind.
Jughead. Did he really read that book? Did he just say it to impress me? I can't imagine that someone like Jughead likes reading, let alone reading romance books.
Something's up with that guy, but I can't fucking figure out what it is.
I shut the book and close my eyes for a second, trying to escape my thoughts. Trying to escape him.
Putting my book away, I decide to text my mom and tell her that I'm fine.

Hey mom,
just wanted to tell you that everything's fine. The family is great! Call you later, love Betty xx

I turn my phone off and decide to go and look after Jellybean.
I knock on her door, waiting for a response, though, I don't get one.
"Jelly? You're in here?", I question, opening the door and peaking through it.
I'm not able to find something that looks like a blonde, teenage girl, so I make the decision to just go downstairs and watch some movies.
I go down the stairs, my hand on the banister before walking into the living room and seeing the young girl I've been looking for sitting on the couch and watching something on tv.
I go up to her and sit down on the couch, "I've been looking for you, you know", I laugh, making her look at me.
She looks at me with a surprised face,"Why would you look for me? I'm a boring person", she jokes, making me laugh.
I shake my head, "I bet you're funnier to hang out with than you're brother."
She nods with a smirk,"Finally a girl that doesn't like him", she sighs.
I look at her with a questioning look whilst giggling,"Girls actually like him?He is annoying", I ask, furrowing my eyebrows, trying to hold back my laugh.
She rolls her eyes and nods, obviously harried by her older brother,"Yeah, they usually flirt with him all the time. They're basically head over heals for him."
I nod and look at her with a sarcastic look and then we both start laughing, but right after, the front door opens.
I stop laughing and look at the door, seeing the raven haired boy we just talked about a second ago step in.
I lean in, so that I'm close to Jelly's ear, before whispering,"Look who just magically showed up."
She laughs at my comment, making me chuckle and Jughead turn his attention to us.

He looks at us with a questioning face, probably thinking we're stupid or something.
"What you girls laughing at?", he chuckles, raising his one brow and from what I can read from his facial expression he's probably waiting for something really funny.
Jelly is about to speak up, but I interrupt her and just simply reply,"You!"
He rolls his eyes, takes his shoes and coat off and walks to sit next to me.
"Only good I hope", he smirks whilst putting his arm on the arm rest, so that it would be around me, but I shove it away immediately.
"Nah more bad than good. You're annoying", I state coldly, not actually meaning it though.
He's actually really nice and I enjoy the fact that he probably loves FiveFeetApart as much as I do or well, at least he claims he does. None the less, I think teasing him and pretending to not like him is much more fun.
He rolls his eyes,"What do I need to do for you to like me?", he sighs.
I shrug, stand up with a smirk and walk away,"Nothing."

I'm sitting in my room, watching Netflix and just thinking about what happened today.
I'm actually in America and I met Mr.Jones and Jelly and well, Jughead.
This boy is a real mystery, I'd like to get to know him better and maybe even look through the facade.
And right as the saying,"speaking of the devil" goes, the beanie wearing boy enters my room.
I raise my eyebrows and look at him, wanting to know what he wants in my room.
„You like to mop me up in front of my sister, don't you?", he sighs with a chuckle.
I shake my head,"Oh no, no, no! I love mopping you up in front of your sister", I correct him with a huge grin spread across my face.
He shakes his head and sits down next to me,"Why don't you like me?", he asks obviously disappointed.
I lie down onto the bed and shrug,"Why are you hitting on me?", I question, raising my eyebrow.
He lies down next to me and looks me straight in the eyes before shrugging,"You're different", he says honestly.
Wow, I didn't expect that, I thought he just did it because he thinks it's fun.
I turn, so that I'm now on my side, my face turned to his, looking into his greenish blue eyes.
„Why tho?", I ask putting my hand under my cheek.

For a brief moment, we then both get lost in each other's eyes, forgetting everything around us, but then I blink with my eyes and he does the same.
After realizing what just happened, I feel a weird hunch coming up and my cheeks getting hot and see him blushing.
„You're not bitchy like the others, you're interested in the same things as me and most importantly you're not trying to flirt with me", he tells me, now turning on his side as well.
I get that feeling again, what in hell is that? Doesn't matter, I'm just gonna ignore it.
„Yeah about that flirting stuff, I can't see why", I laugh, hoping he doesn't feel offended now.
He chuckles,"Oh I can show you."
I furrow my eyebrows and nod sarcastically,"Yeah right", I reply, rolling my eyes, not believing him.
„No, I'm serious. How about we make a bet? You give me a month and I will make you fall in love with me. If I don't, I owe you 100 bucks?"
