Trust Issues

Chapter Fourteen

Kevin's POV

Veronica Lodge likes Jughead Jones! I can't believe it, but I can! I always knew one if them liked the other. Although, I always thought it was Jughead. He was always saying rude things to her and, well, that's what a guy does when he likes a girl, right? I thought Archie and Veronica were gonna end up together. Same with Betty and Jughead. But we all know Betty never really stopped liking Archie. Or crushing on him or whatever!

Once I got to Pop's, I saw Jughead sitting in a booth by himself. I feel like I should tell him. No, that would hurt Veronica. Ordered for Veronica and I then went and sat across from him. He looked at me with a blank expression. He always looks like that.

"I have a question for you." I said.

"What?" He asked.

"Why are always to mean towards Veronica?" I asked. I really want to know his answer. He sighed. He opened his mouth to say something, but u quickly interrupted. "And don't say it's her father or just her family. She is not like him at all. So you're gonna have to give me  really reason." I told him.

"It's a not valid reason, but it's the main one." He said. I rolled my eyes.

"Come on Jughead! Don't be like that. There is always a reason on why a guy is mean to a girl all the time." I told him.

"What are you implying? That just because I'm rude to her I like her." He said. I shrugged. "So what if I do?" He asked.

"What does that mean?" I asked him. He shook his head.

"Nothing!" He said quickly. I rolled my eyes.

"The truth, Jones!" I said. He sighed.

"Fine! I do! I do like her, okay? You happy now?" He asked I smiled and nodded. Then I heard my name called, saying that mine and Veronica's food was done. I stood up.

"Yup! That's all I needed to hear." I said.

"You're not allowed to tell her!" He said. I looked at him.

"I'm not gonna to tell her. I'm gonna let you do it. If you haven't by a certain day I'll do it for you." I said and left. Hopefully that will get the together.

I now know that Veronica Lodge and Jughead Jones like each other. Finally!

When I got back, we ate and had a semi normal day. I'm pretty she knows that I know something.

"How about we go over to Cheryl's and Toni's for a little while?" I asked her. She shook her head.

"No, I don't really want to go anywhere." She said. I sighed.

"Well, I want to go. Sorry, Veronica. I'll be back later." I said and left again.

Veronica's POV

So much for staying over. I guess I'll leave. I kind of feel like he's gonna tell Cheryl and Toni about my little crush. He wouldn't do that. He knows not to tell them. I hope...

When I got back, it was quiet. Usually when I have nothing to do I would text Serpent King aka Jughead Jones. How did I not figure that out sooner? But he probably wouldn't text me back. Now I have nobody to brighten up my day anymore. Can I just go back in time and say no when he asked to meet me. Also, to ignore his question. His question about what I would do if I met him. Clearly I already had met him. I'm glad he didn't use his really name when we first started texting. I'm kind of happy where I am right now. I mean, secretly liking him isn't funny, but it's better than him saying something to me all the time about me liking him. And me being a bitch. I try not to be, but he says something to me and I hate it. He's an ass. But I really do like him. But I know he will never like me back. Even when Kevin says he does just because he's always rude and mean to me. It's not always like that. But part of me wishes it will be.
