The English Teacher

Part Seventy-eight

Veronica's POV

"I can't be she just did that." Betty said worriedly and walked into the kitchen. I followed her.

"Betty, what are talking about?" I asked. She looked at me.

"She fucking kissed me. Oh my god, I'm so, so sorry, Veronica." She said. I smiled.

"What kiss?" I asked. She looked at me like I'm crazy.

"What do you mean, what kiss?" She asked. "You were standing right there." She looked like she was on the verge of tears.

"Hey, Betty, look at me." I said. She looked at me and she was was starting to cry. I laughed a little. "Why are you crying? I know she kissed you. Babe, I'm not stupid. She's just crazy, okay?" She nodded.

"Okay." She said. "I still feel horrible about it." I laughed.

"Why? I know it didn't mean anything." I said. "I love you." She smiled.

"I love you, too." She said.

"Good." I gave her a small kiss on the lips. "Let's go back to sleep." She nodded and we walked back upto the room.

We layed in bed and cuddled upto each other. I smiled and slowly fell asleep.

I wooe up the next morning with no Betty next to me. I sighed and got up. I walked downstairs and to an empty living room. The kitchen was empty to. Where the hell is she? I went back upstairs and texted her.

Betty

V: Hey, where are you?

I waited for a response. As I did I got around for the day and ready to leave for school. I looked at my phone right before I left. Still nothing. Maybe she just went to school early. But two hours early?

Once I got to school I looked at my phone once again. Nothing. Where is she?

When classes started and kids started to enter the room I looked for her. She didn't walk in. But neither did Cheryl or Kevin. What the hell. I kept looking at my phone every like five minutes just to see if she texted me.

By lunch I was really worried about her. I quickly remembered that Toni threatened us last night. Fuck! But one problem. She's sitting in the cafeteria right to Jughead and a few other gang members. I watched as the cafeteria doors opened and Cheryl and Kevin came waltzing in, but still no Betty. I walked over to the table.

"Uhh, excuse me." I put a hand on Kevin's shoulder. He looked up at me. "Can we speak? It's about your grades in my class." He looked form me to Cheryl. Cheryl, Kevin, Toni and Jughead all four had a worried looks on there faces. He nodded.

"Uh, sure." He stood up and followed me to my classroom. I shut the door.

"What the hell is all of this? Where's Betty?" I asked. He sighed.

"That is none of your business." She said. I crossed my arms.

"So you do know where she is?" I asked.

"No, I didn't say that." He quickly said.

"But you didn't say that you didn't. Tell me. Why were you late to school today and with Cheryl?" I asked.

"We slept in late." He said. I rolled my eyes.

"Both of you?" I asked. He looked worried and nervous.

"Y... yeah. We had a sleepover because her and Toni broke up. And it was because of Betty." He chuckled. "Maybe you should watch who you date. Because clearly, for so many ways, Betty is not Okay with you." He said. The classroom door opens and the principal walked in. I smiled at Kevin.

"I am very proud at how hard you've been working in my class. Thank you for taking the time to listen to this. You may go back to lunch." He quickly walked out.

Toni's POV

Veronica came over and asked Kevin to talk about his grades. "Shit!" I muttered under my breath.

"What is it?" Fangs asked. I shook my head.

"Nothing." I said.

"Leave guys." Jughead said.

"What? No!" Sweet pea said. "I'm still eating."

"I don't care. Go somewhere else." Jughead said. Fangs and Sweet Pea got up and left. We all waited in silence for Kevin to come back. But when he finally did it's not what we were expecting.

"Guys, we have to do it tonight!" He said worriedly.
