Ch15

Charlotte walk through the door of Pop's fiddling nervously with a piece of her hair. Turning She see that Trev wasn't here yet but instead sat directly in front of her in a booth was Jughead. They locked eyes for a second he looked away from her. She frown softly and turn to the counter ordering herself a double chocolate milkshake.

"So, are you here for your date with Trev?" Jughead asks coming next to her and leaning on the counter.

"Yes I 'am Juggie" He was being a bit of a jack ass

"Great." He rolls his eyes and She turn sharply to him.

What is your problem? She asked she was mad

"I don't like it" he said moving closer to her touching her cheek
"In fact I hate it" She could feel his breath on her face, She could lean forward a little, and go up on her tiptoe's and She'd be kissing him...

The bell on top of Pop's door chimes and he moved away from her just as Trev walk in. She blinked she was really confused

Hey Charlotte Trev said she looks at him , Jughead looks at her one last time before grabbing his laptop and walking out of Pop's. She wanted to run after him but she didn't , She put on a smile and she pushed Jughead to the back of her mind she looked at Trev.

Took a seat , You look so pretty he said

She blushed softly, Thank you,

"I think it's great what you guys are doing for Jason," Trev admits.

"You two were on the water polo team together, right? Were you close?" She ask, grateful to finally have something to talk about after sitting making awkward conversation for the past twenty minutes.

"This is just us talking, right?" He asks leaning forward and She nod leaning closer as well.

"Just, because, I kind of feel guilty about it. A few months ago, Jason started acting all, like, weird and secretive.

"I thought it was about Betty's sister, to be honest. They'd been dating a few weeks when he changed." He tells her

"Changed in what way?"

"We stopped hanging out, he wouldn't call me back, and then... then he started selling off all his stuff. Anything he could see for cash, he was hawking. Then I heard he was dealing drugs..."

"Drugs? what drugs?" She ask

"Weed, pills, whatever. I don't know for sure because by then he stopped talking to me." Trev explains.

"And all this started after Jason and Polly got together?" She look at him and he nods not saying a word. She look down at my milkshake, this wasn't going to sit well with Betty.

"Charlotte." She ignore Jughead's calls and carry on walking down the halls to the student lounge. "Little red."

"What Jughead?" She snap when he catches up to her.

"I wanted to apologise for last night. He says and She stop and turn to him.

You should be nothing happened he didn't even try to kiss me so you were being a total jackass for nothing. she said with a glare

"I'm sorry I just worry about you is all." Jughead said in relieved that he didn't try anything with her

"I know Juggie , Now let's go and find Betty." She said leaning up and kissing his cheek before She grab his hand and drag him with her.
