Temptation [Bughead]

Chapter 2

"Betty, hurry!"

Veronica's hand tugged on Betty's, as they rushed into the school building. They were late and it was all because Veronica stayed up till 4 a.m. with Betty trying to study for their math test that they were bound to fail anyways.

With all the rushing and anxiety about getting caught, they barely noticed the two men talking to each other in the hallway and before they knew it, Betty had slammed into one of them. Veronica stumbled over the other's foot, but caught herself before she fell.

Betty wasn't so lucky because a couple of seconds later, she found herself on top of the guy. He groaned in pain, as Betty's eyes fluttered back open from the shock. She took a look at the man who'd cushioned her fall. "Jughead?" Her voice came out timidly and her hands slipped under his head to help him with the pain.

Jughead's eyes opened and he stared up at Betty for a couple of seconds in confusion. "Betty?" Cheeks reddening from embarrassment, she quickly stood up and brushed herself off.

"You okay?" She asked, reaching down to help him up. He took her hand and held his back, "Uh yeah...just a little pain."

Jughead's eyes traveled from Betty to the man on the side and she turned as-well to see who it was. Her eyes widened. "M-mister Weatherbee, I-Veronica and I were jus—"

"—All of you, in my office. Now!"

The three followed their principal down the hallway and into his quite large office. They were so going to get detention now. Mr. Weatherbee sat them down in front of his desk and Betty exchanged glances with Veronica. "What were you two doing running in the hallway fifteen minutes after the warning bell had rung?"

Jughead watched awkwardly as Betty answered, "We got late. After the game yesterday, Veronica and I had to stay up to study and finish our homework. We overslept, Principal Weatherbee." She couldn't find anything else to say, so she shut up and waited for her principal to answer.

"Betty, Veronica. I understand, but we have a policy—"

"—Oh, come on. If I get another detention, they'll kick me off the cheerleading squad," Veronica complained.

Betty couldn't afford another detention either. She'd already gotten 4 this first trimester from skipping class with Archie and her parents would definitely not be happy if she brought another green slip home for them to sign.

"Okay, let's make a deal," Mr. Weatherbee replied. "You two give Jughead a tour of the school and I'll excuse you both from detention, hm?"

Veronica and Betty quickly stood up after thanking the principal, walking out with Jughead right behind them. "I can't believe we got away with that," Veronica laughed. Betty giggled and remembered Jughead behind them. She turned around, walking backwards now, "How's your head, Jughead?"

"Better." He held eye contact with Betty and as every second ticked by, she grew more uncomfortable.

Jughead intimidated her and she didn't know exactly why.

Maybe it was those dark, demanding eyes...or his tousled hair...or the metal rings that enhanced the slenderness of his fingers. She could just imagine his fingers in her hair, tugging an—

"—So, can we maybe hurry this tour up? I have stuff to do," Veronica huffed, interrupting Betty's lewd thoughts.

"Yes, please." Jughead looked away from Betty and moved up next to her.

The tour consisted of mostly Veronica speaking and showing off Riverdale Highschool, while Betty observed silently. "That's basically it. Any questions Jughead?"

He smirked and stepped closer to Veronica, "Yeah...what's your name, cutie?" Betty looked over at Veronica, who was blushing furiously now.

"It's Veronica Lodge."

Betty watched with a raised eyebrow, as Jughead chuckled and pulled Veronica's hand up to his mouth, planting a small kiss on the back of her palm. "That's a beautiful name, Veronica..."

Betty tried to hold her urge to laugh, but she couldn't and choked out a laugh. Jughead turned his head towards her, dropping Veronica's hand. "What?"

She bit her lip in order to stop herself from laughing, "I'm sorry, but that was so lame." He rolled his eyes at her, "Whatever. I have to go anyway." He returned his attention back to Veronica, which had Betty rolling her eyes this time. "I'll see you later, Veronica."
