The English Teacher

Part Thirty

Veronica's POV

I woke up and Betty was still sleeping. I smiled and quietly got up not wanting to wake her up. I put a shirt on and went downstairs. I just got cereal and watched TV.

I put my bowl in the sink and walked  back upto the room. She was still sleeping. I smiled and walked over to the bed. I lightly kissed her on the lips. "Mmmmm I wanna wake up like this every day." She said. I looked down at her and smiled. "I would love to wake up to your face every day." She said. "You see me once you get to school." I said. "Yea, but that's when I'm already awake. I want to wake up and see your face right next to me everyday." She said. I layed next to her again. "Yea, but this really shouldn't be happening." She sighed. "Yea I know, but it's us against the world right?" She said. I smiled. "Yea." I said and kissed her. "I'm gonna go take a shower if you want to join me." She smiled. "Of course I do." She said. We got up and went to the bathroom.

**********

We've been out of the shower for over an hour. Right now we are sitting on the couch watching TV and enjoying each others company. "Your beautiful." I heard out of the blue. I looked at Betty who was looking at me. "What?" I asked. She looked at me. "Your beautiful." She said again. I smiled and blushed a little. "Stop! Besides your way more beautiful than I am." I said. "No, I will not stop. And no I'm not." She said. "Yes, you are." I said. "All my friends tell me the same thing." She said. I put my hand on her cheek. "Well they're right." She smiled. "I don't think so." "Well you are wrong." I said and gave her a soft kiss on the lips; which she made more passionate.

Skipping back to Friday
Cheryl's POV

Once Betty left I looked at my phone. "Okay." I sighed. "What is it, Cher?" Toni asked. I look at her. "Oh nothing." I said and smiled. "Okay well I have to go. My dad is wanting me home." Kevin said. "Okay." We both said and he left.

Once we got home it was quiet. "You think Betty is gonna be home?" Toni asked. "Why would she? She's never home on the weekends. Also she literally just left Pop's like fifteen minutes ago." I said as we walked to our room. "Well where do you think she's going? And don't say the English teachers house!" She quickly said. "Hey you don't see the looks they give each other during that class." I said as we layed on the bed. "No, I don't. Which is exactly why I don't believe it. Also it's Friday." She said. "Oh I know." I told her. "Okay? Do you have anything?" She asked. "I'm tired let's get to sleep." I said.

I waited and waited and waited for her to fall asleep. Once she did I slowly and quietly climbed out of the bed. I quietly walked downstairs a d out of the front door.

I went to the school. I can't believe this is how I'm doing this. I slowly and and quickly made my way through to the English classroom. Luckily it was unlocked. I bet she just wanted to get home as fast as possible thinking Betty would get there early. I quietly closed the door and went to the desk. I started looking through the drawers one by one. One of the drawers had papers with the same exact hand writing that looked oddly familiar to me. Betty's. One said the same thing over and over again. I can't feel this way! Another paper that had a number on it. I quickly grabbed my phone and went to Betty's contact. The numbers were exactly the same. I took of picture of both papers. Then I made my way the the principal's office.

When I got there it was empty. I quietly went inside. I shut the door and found some filling cabinets. One had students on it and the other had teachers. I know which one I'm going through. I went through it all till I found one that said Lodge, Veronica on it. Well I know that last name. The first name is the person that Betty was texting, that helps me.

I pulled the file out and started looking through it. I took a picture of her name and just some other random shit I thought would be useful when I show Toni. There was a noise down the hallway. I quickly put everything back and peaked my head down the hall. Nobody was there. I quickly kly made my way out of the school and back to the house.

Saturday morning

I woke up next to Toni. She was already awake. I looked at her and grabbed my phone. "Hey I'm going to go find something to eat." She said. "Okay." She walked downstairs. I changed and went downstairs. I had printed off the pictures from last night. I put on the table next her. "What is this?" She asked looking at the papers then me. "Just look at them." She went through all the papers; some she looked at longer than others. She looked back up at me. "I don't understand." She said. I rolled my eyes. "That's the English teacher's file!" I said. "So?" "And thise are papers Betty wrote. This paper has her number on it! I found in the teacher's desk!" I said. "Wait when did you do this?" "Last night. But that's not the point. The point is that I'm right!" She sighed. "I need more." I scoffed and rolled my eyes again. "The name Veronica. That's the person's name on Betty's phone." "Okay? That's a name peoole might have." "How many Veronica's do you think are in Riverdale?" "Well now that I know, one." She looked at all the papers again. She put them down and then up at me. "How are we gonna confront her?" I smiled.
