The English Teacher

Part Seventy-seven

^^I drew those like a year ago^^
Veronica's POV

I'm laying in bed, starring at the ceiling contemplating my life and the decisions I've made. And now that I think about it I've really fucked up my life. I mean, I've wanted to become a teacher and here I am a teacher... and dating a student. Then, killing my ex fiancee. And like ten people know everything. Maybe I should... maybe I should just break up with her and move on. This has caused so much drama and chaos. And by move on I mean move away and out of Riverdale. It would probably be the best move. To move and start over. Again! I am so happy here though. I have my teaching and I have Betty. I feel like have everything I need. I okay with what I have. I think it would be best if I did end things. But last time this happened when she broke up with me, because of her friends, she didn't eat. She refused food a couple days after to. I was so worried and when we started to eat again I was so happy for her. I was scared she wouldn't eat again, but when she said something about thinking it wasn't real and that's why she wasn't eating still I had to tell her it was real. This is so complicated and stupid. No teenager should have to go through this. And that's the perfect reason to end it. I don't want to, but it's the best thing to do. For her. I'm seven years older than her. She maybe only be 16, but age doesn't matter, does it? To some yes, to others no. Which sucks. But I'm doing this for her and her life.

I got up and grabbed my phone off the nightstand. I quickly texted Betty.

❤Betty❤

V

: Hey, babe, can you come over here? I need to talk to you.

B: I'm already here.

V: What?

B: I'm at the door. I'm getting ready to come inside.

V: Oh

I put my phone down and walked downstairs. She just walked through the door. I smiled weakly at her. She smiled back.

"Hey." She said.

"Hey." I said back. She walked over to me.

"So what is it you needed to talk to me about?" She asked. I sighed and shook my head.

"Nothing. It's nothing. Why aren't you at Cheryl and Toni's house?" She turned on her phone and showed me a text from Toni. "What the hell is that?" I asked.

"I'm guessing it's either Toni accidentally texting me instead of Cheryl or she likes me." She said.

"I told you I didn't like her from the moment she came here to get to know me." I said. She smiled and laughed a little.

"Even if she did, she'd never replace you." She said and leaned in to kiss me. I kissed back. She slowly started pushing me up the stairs and into the room. She pushed me on the bed and looked at me mischievously. I smiled and bit my lip a little. She got on top of me and kissed me. Okay, what I was talking about, whatever it was, is gonna have to wait because I can't say no to this right now.

I woke up to the bed shifting. I sat up waiting for my eyes to get used to the dark. When they finally did I saw Betty putting clothes on.

"Betty, what are you doing?" I asked. She looked at me. She smiled

"I'm sorry I woke you. I just heard a knock at the door and thought it was just me, but then I got a text." She said.

"Oh, who was it?" I asked her.

"Nobody. Just go back to sleep. I'll be right back." I hesitatedly nodded.

"Okay." I mumbled. She lightly kissed me on the lips then walked downstairs. I stayed real quiet and listened. I heard the door open. I walked closer to the bedroom door.

"What do you want?" I heard Betty ask.

"I want to admit something to you." I think... I think that's Toni. I kept listening in.

"What? Is it about that text earlier? How did you even know I was here?" Betty asked.

"Cheryl told me she kicked you out. She also kicked me out, but I don't mind because I wanna be with you." Toni said. Excuse me?!

"Toni, you know I can't do that."

"Why? We've kissed once before. And I know you still feel something." Wait what?

"Toni, are you Okay?" She asked. Toni quickly nodded.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Why?" She asked.

"Because you seem a little off." She told her. I slowly started walking downstairs.

"Betty, who is it?" I asked. They both looked at me.

"Oh, it her." Toni said disgustedly. I rolled my eyes and went to stand next to Betty.

"It's fine, Veronica. Toni's, just leaving." Betty said. Toni quickly grabbed Betty's face and kissed her. I gasped and Betty pushed Toni away.

"Oh my god, Toni. What is wrong with you? I told you we are never gonna happen and that's finally." Betty said. Toni seemed to all of a sudden become pissed and crazy a at the same time.

"You better watch your back. Both of you because everywhere you look. I'll be there." Toni said glaring at me.
