The next morning, Jughead woke up and was already starting to get dressed to sneak back to his house on the southside. After putting his clothes back on, he looked over at Archie who was still sleeping soundly. Jughead walked over and kissed Archie's forehead softly before walking out of Archie's house and back to his trailer park home. 

A few hours later, Archie waited for Jughead at the front of the school. He looked around as everyone else walked inside. 'Juggie, where are you?' he thought to himself. After a few more minutes of waiting, he finally saw his beanie wearing boyfriend walk up towards him. 

"Hey, baby" Archie said with a smile.

"Hey there, Arch" Jughead said before leaning in to give his boyfriend a kiss.

Archie gently kissed Jughead's lips back and grabbed his hand. "Time to tackle the second day of school" he said with a laugh.

"Yeah. Maybe we won't get ambushed about anything that happened last night" Jughead said as they walked through the doors of Riverdale High for the second day of the school year.

As they walked through the crowded hallways once again, it seemed like almost everyone in the school was looking at them. "Are we the 'it' couple of this school now?" Jughead asked, confused.

"Yeah... it would appear that we are" Archie said as he led Jughead into the student lounge where even more people were staring at them.

The boys sat down on the couch and Jughead wrapped an arm around Archie as Betty and Kevin walked in. "Hey look, it's Riverdale High's newest 'it' couple" Kevin said as he sat down in front of them with Betty.

"Hey, Kevin. Hi, Betty" Archie said.

"Hey guys. What's up?" Jughead asked, looking at them.

"Well.... Betty and I heard some... things last night" Kevin said, not making eye contact with them.

"What kind of things?" Archie asked with a confused look on his face.

"What Kevin is trying to say is that we heard you having sex last night" Betty said.

Archie and Jughead exchanged a glance before looking back at Kevin and Betty.

"We weren't too loud were we?" Jughead asked.

"Oh no you weren't loud at all" Betty said sarcastically.

"Yeah... it was kind of hard to not hear you guys shout 'OH MY GOD!', 'I SEE THE LIGHT JUGGIE!', and you guys shouting each other's names for 4 hours."

"And to top it all off, Vegas was standing in the doorway to Archie's bedroom. Your dog was watching it all unfold, Arch."

"Let's just say that my poor innocent virgin ears have never been more violated then they were last night."

After Kevin made that statement, there was a silence that lasted for about 5 minutes until it was finally broken by Archie.

"You didn't have to exactly say what you said in the way that you did" he said.

"Oh well, I'm sorry that I'm a child of Jesus and that at first I thought you were studying the Bible!"

"Okay can we just move past this topic? I think they're embarrassed enough, Kev" Betty said.

"Y-yes. L-let's just talk about something else" Jughead said, embarrassed.

"Cheerleading tryouts are today. Veronica's gonna be the first one to tryout so that means that I will have plenty of time to practice."

"Why? Is Veronica planning to do a long performance?" Archie asked.

"Nobody knows. But, there's been rumors that she might do a long performance and there's rumors that she might make it shorter... either way we'll all just find out at the tryouts. You guys are gonna be there to support me right?"
