jughead was feeling terrible, not only did he mistreat veronica, he lost his morals, forgot where he came from.
he acted like a hypocrite, a person he hated. he just stood at veronica's locker looking defeated. he straightened up as sooon as he saw veronica approaching and saw the confused look veronica gave him when she saw him standing at her locker. her confused stare soon changed into a glare as she carefully approached him
"what the hell are you doing her forsythe?" veronica said
"I came to- wait how did you know my name?" jughead said cutting of his sentence midway as he looked at her confused at how did she know his name.
"really? after all you said to me, you want to know how i know your name? fine. betty told me. now get away, i need to keep my books and leave" veronica said looking at jughead with blank face.
"look, i came here to apologise for how i acted" jughead said looking down
"you cant just say things about me and then act like a jerk and then come to me to apologise" veronica said angrily
jughead sighed and took her hand and pulled her into the store room under the stairs. veronica protested at first but then allowed him to pull her in the room.
"why did you bring me here forsythe?" veronica said as she shook of his hand.
"i know I was being a jerk. please forgive me. i didn't mean any of it" he said pleading to veronica, begging her to forgive him
"oh please, i dont believe you when you say you didnt mean any of it. you meant.every.word forsythe" she said
"first thing, will you please stop calling me forsythe? and second youre right when i told you those things i meant them. but after thinking about things i realised what a hypocrite i was being. i went through the exact same thing and i was judging you for the same reasons i was being judged at by the people. i am so sorry" jughead said
veronica sighed" look jughead, when i was in new york, i had no friends. i had followers. but do you think I didnt know what other people thought of me? how they presumed i was this privileged rich spoilt girl who didnt know the meaning of friendships? what do you think that made me feel? i was hurt and angry that people had already judged me without even once trying to know me
so I became the person who they thought i was. i became the rich spoilt park avanue princess, as you called me, but that didnt mean that i was that person. it became a part of my personality yes, but that doesnt mean that i dont have other sides to me too. coming here, where i thought people are accepted for who they are and are not judged for their heritage, i thought it was an opportunity for me to be the person i wanted to be. not what others wanted me to be. but yet again i was proved wrong. you couldn't look past me being hiram lodge's daughter. hearing those things about me, what you told me, how you questioned me, made me realise, its the same everywhere. you're all shallow and narrow headed. youre no worse then me. living in your own small world refusing to let anyone inside the small bubble you have built. you made me realise that i probably cant change, that i was better being the cold bitch i was before."
jughead was left speechless as he heard veronica. he didnt have anything that could counter what veronica just said. because its all true. he clenched his teeth and felt frustrated. somehow he had made things worse. "veronica, please don't think like that about yourself by what i said. i was an idiot. heck, im an idiot. no one better than me can understand how being judged because of your family feels. and i was such a jerk when i forgot about how i used to feel and i did the same thing to you. youre right we have created a small bubble where we only keep our closed ones and refuse to let anyone new come in. we judge them based on their heritage, convincing ourselves that what we're doing is right and that it is to protect us. but here i am. opening my bubble to let you in. please accept my apology and give us being friends another chance, please."
"you know, i had decided to cut you off my life. i decided to ignore you for the rest of my life. so give me a good reason as to why i shouldn't do it" veronica said challenging him.
"Ill give you one. because i can admit i was wrong and i have come here to apologize, as i want to have you as my friend. i'll do anything you say, if that means you'll forgive me." jughead said
veronica considers this and nods." not good enough"
"okay, because we're too similar. and no one other than me can identify the movie references you use in your statements and vice versa. i know you get all my references. we like reading classics, and we're opinionated and stand behind our ideologies as if our life depended on it. we're both independant, have family issues and are strong minded. it would be a waste if you ignore me for the rest of your life" jughead said confidently. he knew he made strong points and if veronica doesn't agree to this then he doesn't know what he would do to convince her.
veronica chuckled"god jughead, how much have you been thinking about me today?" she joked
"enough to know that i have convinced you to reconsider" he said as he smirked
veronica laughed"oh really?"
"yes." jughead said
she tilted her head and looked at him and smiled. " one last chance jughead. no more"
he smiled and said" thank you!"
"now will you let us leave this small space, its too stuffy" veronica said
jughead laughed "typical" veronica playfully smacked him on his arm as they both exited the small closet in school.
"you've missed all your classes today jughead. you'll get detention" veronica remarked
"worth it" jughead said
