         I grabbed my backpack off of my chair and headed down the steps. My hair was up in the usual space buns on top of my head.

"Morning Red." Fred said as he saw me. "Archie already left, he said Betty needed to talk to him."

"Oh, okay. That's fine. I'll see you later then." I said with a smile, as I went into the kitchen and grabbed an apple and a granola bar and headed out quickly. I put my earphones in as I started my walk to school, I pulled my jacket closer around my body as I walked down the street.

"Ro!" Someone yelled over my headphones, I turned my head and took my earphones out. Reggie came jogging over. "Why are you walking by yourself? There's a killer on the loose you know?"

"Oh, uh. Archie left before me. Betty needed him, so they left before me." I answered, I wound up my headphones around my phone and placed them in my coat pocket as we started walking again. "The school isn't that far away, it's not that big of a deal." My hands shoved deeper into my pockets.

"That's not the point. If someone with a gun comes after you, you are dead." Reggie stated.

"Reggie, look around you. There are quite a few people out here, I don't think he's going to do anything with so many people out here. I'll be fine. I'm not a child." I sped up my pace. With him being so tall he kept up pretty well. We were quiet for a while.

"So why did you move anyway? Like why didn't your parents move too?" He suddenly asked, the question caught me off guard.

"I don't want to talk about it." I said quickly. He opened his mouth to say something. I stopped walking and faced him, but didn't look at him as I spoke. "Reggie, just stop. It's not any of your business, if I wanted to tell you, I would have told you. Please just don't ask about it, if I want to tell you I'll tell you." Blue eyes met his brown ones, he slowly nodded his head and we continued our walk to school. I got to my locker and placed my bag and jacket into my locker, I went to the student lounge area.

"Anne! There you are, I was getting worried." Betty said as she saw me walk in.

"Yeah, sorry. Reggie ended up walking with me." I say sitting down on the arm of Archie's chair."So, what's been going on?"

"Well, I have an old friend from New York coming down, Nick St. Clair, for the Open House." I slowly nodded my head at Veronica as she spoke, I glanced at Archie. Soon enough we began our day, that quickly ended. I decided to call Jughead.

"Hey, Ro. What's up?" Jughead's voice sounded distant almost.

"Hey, Juggy. I was just wondering if you'd like to meet up at Pops? I haven't got to see you all that much." I asked, I was standing outside the school, waiting on Archie and Betty.

"Yeah, sure. Why don't I swing by and pick you up? Where are you?"

"I'm at the school still, I'm waiting on Archie and Betty."
