The English Teacher

Part Five

Betty's POV

I went to Cheryl's and Toni's not to long after my mom got home. I walked because it stopped raining and I needed time to process everything that happened today. Well everything with Veronica in it. Let's number them off:

1) Yesterday she drove me home after finding me sitting in front of the school.

2) This morning she was comforting me and basically grabbed my hand.

3) She drove me home again after finding me in the rain this time.

4) We ran into each other at the grocery store.

5) I always catch her looking at me and I'm pretty sure she notices me looking at her too.

We all know teacher student relationships don't work and are not a good thing. She probably ain't even lesbian in the first place. I'm not each our to my friends and they are all gay. Cheryl and Toni and Kevin, all gay. And then there's me to scared to tell them. What do I think they are gonna say. They're gonna stop being my friends. No! Cause why? They're gay! Ugh! I hate myself sometimes.

I got to Cheryl's and Toni's and like I said before just walked straight through the front door. I closed and went upto Cheryl's and Toni's room. I found Cheryl, Toni and Kevin all sitting there. "Betty! Your here." Cheryl said. I nodded. "Yep." I said and sat in between Kevin and Toni. "How long are you gonna be staying?" Kevin asked. I shrugged. "Maybe tonight. I don't know." I told him. "Is your mom home?" Cheryl asked. "When I left she wasn't home." I told her. "Okay then stay a while." Cheryl said. I sighed. "Okay."

Veronica's POV

I took her number! Okay that sounds way worse than it is... kinda. So I did go through her phone and look at her number, but I didn't get it. I'm such a creep! I remember numbers, but like four of them. Whatever! I'm sitting in Pop's right now with a milkshake just sitting in front of me. I haven't touched it at all. I don't think I want to. I keep thinking I'm a creep or a weirdo. I never any of this would happen with me being a teacher. I know one of the old teachers had done it before with a kid about six or seven years ago. It was a female teacher with one of her music students. I don't know and I don't care. I was sitting there and the door opened. I didn't turn I just sat there still looking at my untouched milkshake then I heard like three voices that were familiar. I turned and saw four familiar faces. It was Betty and her friends. Like I said she's fucking everywhere, but honestly so am I.

Betty's POV

Shit! She's everywhere! I can't get away from her or she can't get away from me? I don't know. I sat on the side of a booth to where I could see her. We both kept looking at each other. Not to long after we got there she left. Fuck! I just wish I could tell me friends that I like a teacher, but how would they react. I don't think the me being lesbian would be a surprise. I mean yes, but no. I think the whole thing about me liking a teacher would be a surprise. And they would tell me I'm crazy and it's not happening. They would probably tell me that I need to get out of that class and get rid of all my feelings and shit. But I bet she doesn't even like me back because I'm a student and I bet she's not gay.

Veronica's POV

4) It's all illegal! It can't happen.

5) I just started being a teacher it would ruin my reputation if it got out if it did happen.

6) If it did happen I would go to jail.

These are three more stupid and boring reasons on why Betty Cooper and I can't date.

7) What if she finds out about my family and everything they did in New York? Like everything bad my parents did.

Oh wait! I had four, nevermind. Ugh!  Life is so boring! You can never do anything. If I told the truth I would just kiss her in the middle of class in front of everyone, but I can't cause why? Because of rules one, two and six. I don't cuss a lot but, this is some bullshit!

Right now I'm laying on my bed just thinking. It's a Friday so I have a whole weekend to think. To think about her and just everything. I hope I could go one day without of her, but that's hard. I need to clear my mind. I need to distarct it; to distract me. Just then there's a loud knock at my front door. "Ugh! Who could that be?" I mumbled to myself.

I went down stairs. "Hello?" I said and stopped in front of the door. "Who is it?" I asked. I was startled by a other knock at the door. Damn! I opened the door. "What do you want, Daddy?" I said as I saw my father. "Did you get my texts that I was coming to visit?" He said. I nodded. "Yes, I did. I was at school when you texted me so I couldn't text back." He looked at me like he was confused. "At school? Oh right! I forgot your a teacher. May I come in?" He asked. I moved and let him in. He came inside and looked around. I shut the door. "This is the first time I've been in here since you moved down here. This is nice. It's big. How'd you afford one like this?" He asked and looked at me. I sighed. "Mom gave me enough money after I graduated school to buy a house big enough for me and my belongings." I told him. "Cause you have so many belongings. This house is pretty big for just one person. How'd you find it?" He asked. "Mom also helpd me pick it out. She suggested it. I came and looked at it and go it. Didn't feel like going through all the trouble of finding something. Found one and went with it." "Oh okay." "So how long are you staying in Riverdale?" I asked. He shrugged. "A few days maybe. Your mom is here to just not with me right now. She went to find a hotel. Do you know any good ones." I rolled my eyes. "Again, mom helped me find somewhere to stay while she helped find this house. I bet she already has a place. She also told me you guys grew up here so I bet you know most things around here." His phone started ringing. "It's your mother." He said. I opened the door again. I never left the side of the door. "Guess you better go." He sighed. "Okay. Bye. It was great seeing you." He walked outside and answered the phone. "Hello?" Was the last thing I heard before I shut the door. 

I took a shower and went back to my room. Again I have a whole weekend to think. I feel like time is going by so slow.

This will be a long weekend, one that's full of thinking. Great!
