"Quite the expose," Veronica said as she and AJ walked up to Betty in the hallway the next morning, "When did you find the time to write it?"
"I was up all night last night," Betty answered, looking at the ground shyly. AJ could tell she was embarrassed about what happened last night. "I couldn't sleep after."
"Me either," AJ and Veronica said at the same time.
"Betty, AJ," Veronica started, looking between the two girls, "You both came through for me in a way no one else ever has before, but can we talk about what happened?"
"What do you mean?" Betty asked, seemingly genuinely confused.
"The wig? And everything?" AJ said.
"How far were you going to take it?" Veronica finished.
"Chuck deserved it," Betty shrugged.
"You called him Jason."
"You thought you were Polly."
They said at the same time, sharing a look before turning back to Betty.
"No, I didn't do that," Betty denied, making a move to walk away from them.
"Yeah, girl, you did," Veronica said, both girls going to follow after Betty.
"It was like you became another person," AJ said, crossing her arms over her chest as they stopped in front of Betty's locker.
"Okay, I mean, I remember telling Chuck he should apologize for Polly, but not because I thought he was Jason."
"Then why?"
"Because, I'm sick of guys like Chuck doing horrible things to girls like me, and you and Polly, okay?" Betty said, walking away from the girls.
The three girls went from barely knowing each other. Three girls from three completely different backgrounds and lives, to being good friends in just a matter of days. There was still some tension between AJ and Betty, but that was starting to dissolve, and soon there would be no tension between the two girls.
AJ was so busy with Betty and Veronica that she hasn't got the chance to confront Reggie about having his name in the book. She was angry that he would degrade girls how he had, but AJ wasn't completely innocent herself, so she couldn't stay mad at him for long. She did, however, want an explanation as to why he lied about it.

"Angel," Reggie's smug voice spoke through the speaker of AJ's phone. She was currently sitting at the bar in the Whyte Wyrm. It was the weekend after the whole Chuck incident happened and she had yet to talk to Reggie about his involvement with the playbook.
"It's AJ, Reginald," AJ said sternly, downing the glass of scotch in front of her. "We need to talk. Are you free?"
"You sound mad. Is everything okay?" Reggie asked, a little nervous that the girl he's started to care for was angry at him.
