Teacher's Pet

Six

Jughead's POV

I saw her in the hall with her boyfriend and friend I'm guessing. Then, again at Pop's with a couple of other friends. We locked eyes and, surprisingly, she didn't look away. She usually does. Maybe out of embarrassment. I had to look away, but I lofted I glaced back at her. I wish so badly that she would be mine. But she can't for a thousand reasons.

I stood outside of Pop's for a while. I don't know why, I just did. After half an hour I was still outside. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the door open and I looked over. I saw Her and her two friends. She looked over at me and smiled. I smiled back and she walked off with her friends. Her two friends left and she was about to leave, but I stopped her. Don't ask me exactly why.

"Hey!" I said. She turned back and looked at me. She looked confused.

"Mr. Jones? Yes?" She asked. I sighed.

"Umm, come to my classroom Monday morning. Before classes." I said. Why did I just say that?

"Oh, okay. Sure. I'll be there." She said. I nodded and she walked off. I sighed and looked down. I quickly left.

Veronica's POV

What did I just agree to? And why did I agree? I then got a text from Toni.

Purple Gemstone

T: What was that? Again!

V: What was what? I thought you left.

T: We did, but before I did, I saw you and that teacher talking.

V: He was asking about how his first week of teaching was.

T: Why don't I believe you?

V: I don't know why. I gotta go now!

T: Whatever!

Skipping to Monday

I woke up to my alarm clock. I slowly got up and around. My phone buzzed once and I sighed.

Besties

Archikins: Can we talk before
first class starts?

Kev: Who?

Archikins: Veronica

V: I can't. I have somewhere I need
to be before classes start.

B: Arch, text me privately

Archikins: Okay

Bombshell: Where are you going?

I ignored her question and just put my phone down. I left for school around 7:30. I saw everybody on the students lounge. Including Archie. I know he wants to talk to me, but I should go to his classroom first.
I walked down the halls till I was standing outside his classroom. I opened the door slowly and he saw me. He smiled and I smiled back.

"What are you doing here?" He asked. I laughed a little.

"You asked me to come on Saturday at Pop's." I reminded him.

"I did? Oh, I did! I'm sorry I must've forgotten. I completely forgot. I... I don't remember what I was going to ask you about." He said. I just smiled and shook my head.

"No, you're fine." I felt my face heat up a bit. I quickly looked down.

"You're welcome to stay if you'd like. Classes don't start for another thirty minutes." He said. I nodded and went to sit in my seat. The morning went normal. I finished some honework and it was just quiet. I sometimes looked up at him or I could tell He was looking at me. Either way I didn't mind. When the bell rang, I walked out of his class and ran into Betty.

"Oh hey, Betty!  I said. She smiled at him then looked back into the classroom.

"Hey, what are you coming out of there for?" She asked.

"Just some homework trouble. Nothing big." I said and she nodded.

"Well, I'm gonna get to class." She said. I nodded and we walked in differn er t directions. The day went on as normal even in his class. It was all just normal. Although Archie and Betty were acting weird all day. I don't know why, but it's fine. I guess.

When I got home, it was quiet. Until there were two girls walking into my room uninvited.

"What are you two doing here? And how did you get in?" I asked.

"Ways." Cheryl said. "And we just felt like coming over."

"Okay?" I questioned.

"We wanted to talk about Archie and Betty." Toni said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Did you see how weird they were acting today?" Cheryl asked. "They were standing too close to each other and she blushed and bit her lip every time he said something. He would grabbed her hand for now reason. That's weird to you, right?" Cheryl asked. I shrugged.

"I..  I don't know. I didn't see any of those. I just know Betty still likes him. Can we not talk about this? I don't want to think about my boyfriend cheating me with my bestfriend." I said. They both sighed in disappointment and sat next to me.

"Okay, fine! Don't believe us whatever! Don't come crying to us when we find out we were right." Cheryl said.

"What kind of friend is that? Telling me my boyfriend and bestfriend are cheating on me, and since I don't believe you wouldn't even help me through it if it was true." I asked.

"She's right, Cheryl." Toni said. Cheryl looked down.

"I'm sorry, Veronica. I just feel like they are being way to touchy with each other." She said. I nodded.

"Yeah, I understand. I would be the same way." I told her. It was quiet.

"Do you two want to go to Pop's?" Toni asked. We both nodded and we left for Pop's.
