Ch.12

Jughead looked sad Charlotte sat next to him on the couch in the commin room. She asked

"What's wrong Juggie?" She asked. Playing with his fingers
He let out a sigh.

"The Drive In is closing. One of the last places where people can come and watch a movie in their parked car. A rich place full of history and charm. Closed last night." Jughead sunk further into the couch.

Charlotte frown she knows how much he loves that place, Juggie I'm sorry She said as she leaned her head on his shoulder, and he wrapped his arm around her. "Me to little red he kissed her head me to."

"What's up"? Jughead moved quickly away from Charlotte she frown softly

The Drive In is closing Jughead told Archie

"It's nostalgic, I mean some of my happiest memories were at that the Drive-In." Charlotte said

"Exactly, anyway, it's closing because the town owns it but didn't invest in it. So when an anonymous buyer made Mayor McCoy an offer, she couldn't refuse..."

"Anonymous buyer? What do they have to hide? No one cares." Veronica said amused.

"I do! Also, you guys should all come to closing night.

The group were all at pops

"Here you go, kids." Hermione Lodge smiles placing our food down in front of us.

"Thanks, mom." Veronica smiles and her mom turns away from us going over to Cheryl's table. Charlotte jump hearing Cheryl slam her hand down on top of Hermione's and begins talking to her. Veronica gets up but comes back moments later with an amused smile on her face.

"Now, that's an odd combo of people." Charlotte turned and see Miss Grundy stood with Archie and there dad.She rolled her eyes

"I'll be right back," Betty says standing up.

"What's happening out there? Do we know? Is it about me?" Veronica asks quickly.

"I have a strong inkling, and no. Also, I'd let it go." Jughead tells her sinking into the seats.

"Yes, but you're you, and I'm me. You do you, girl, I'll be back."

"V, I don't think that's a good idea," Charlotte say slipping out after her but she ignores her and the both of them walk out of Pop's together.

"Are you and Miss Grundy, like, together, like, romantically?" Betty asks and Charlotte rolled her eyes and she was still grossed out but it.

"Oh, my God. You and your music teacher are having an affair?" Veronica asks walking up to Archie and Betty.

"We are... together. Look, I know that sounds bad, but...

"Bad? It sounds scandalous." Veronica admits.

"It sounds like jail time Illegal."

"Betty, don't go there."

"Oh, I'm already there."

"Charlotte, a little help here?" Archie pleads she rolled her eyes

No! Betty is right what is Grundy to you, your girlfriend? Your booty tutor?" Charlotte ask and Archie sighs

"I don't know, I don't know what to call her."

"You said you were at the river alone. You lied to Sheriff Keller, to all of us. Why? To protect her?" Betty reminds him.

"She believed in me when no one else did," Archie says looking at Charlotte and Betty.
