Bughead ~ A Simple Life Someday 💟

Chapter 3 ~ The Argument

1 month later
Betty's POV:
OK, I have a confession to make... I'm in love with my best friend, Jughead. I can't tell him for 3 reasons. 1- I'm too afraid of ruining our friendship, 2- No-one as smart and amazing as him would want someone as broken and damaged as me and 3- he's clearly in love with my girl bestie, Veronica. I mean I get it, even Sweets has fallen for her and that's all I ever hear about... Veronica this, Veronica that. I mean like argh! I get it, she's my bestie, give it a rest!
Anyway, as usual, me, Sweets, TT, Max and Jug all rode our motorbikes to school together, went to our lockers and then met up with V and Archie in the lounge.
"Hey guys." Sweets smiled as he looked longingly at V.
"Hey." Ronnie said. "I have some very good news... So, you all know how the holidays are coming up." we all nodded "Well, I was thinking that maybe we could all have a party at mine and then go to my family's lodge at shadow Lake after for a week away, just us kids?"
"That sounds amazing, V!" I squealed as everyone else agreed.
"Perfect, then the only thing left to do is for B and Sweets to check with their mum and Jug, TT and Max to check with their dad as Archie has already asked his parents. Oh and if they say yes, make sure to pack a 'going-out' outfit and your swimsuits." V smiled just before my cousin, Cheryl, came over and said "A week away? Where and when? Text me the details, I'll be there."
"Great, the more the merrier, C. Right guys? I'll text you the details across now." I said, knowing that Cheryl always felt left out, especially since her dead father, Clifford, shot her twin, Jason, and her mother always blamed her for what happened. Everyone nodded, knowing what I was thinking.
"Thanks, dear cousin. Toodles." She said as she flicked her flaming red hair over her shoulder and strutted her way out of the lounge, but not before she winked at TT (she had told me that she was falling for her and had come out to me earlier this year), in her red, above the knee, heeled boots and a long-sleeved one shoulder cherry red jumper with red shorts and red nail polish accompanied with her signature cherry red lip stick and her backpack, that she is rarely ever seen without.

This is her hair and lipstick.

This is her outfit and all her accessories. School dragged on really slowly, but when the last bell finally rang, me, Sweets, Jug, TT and Max all said goodbye to V and Archie and then raced each other to my house. When we got in, me and Jug agreed to work on our homework together up in my room while the others did their homework in sweets' room. About 2 and a half hours later, me and Jug had almost finished all our homework. Suddenly, my phone started ringing, it was archie.
Betty--Hey Arch, what's up?
Archie--Hey Betty, not much. I just wanted to ask you a question.
Betty--OK... What's this question?
Archie--Well I was wondering if you would like to go on a date tomorrow after school?
Betty-- ummm... Look archie, your a nice guy, but I just don't like you in that way. Sorry.
Archie-- No, that's OK. I understand. I gotta go now see you at school. Bye.
Betty--Bye.
End of call.
"Why'd you regect him?" Jug asked.
"Cause, like I said, I don't like him like that."
"Betts, really? Come on, I can see that you do."
"No, I really don't. Honest. Anyway, why do you care? You like V."
"No, I don't!" he shouted.
"Don't lie to me forsythe Pendleton Jones III!" I bellowed.
"I'm not!" he screamed.
"Prove it." I said, calming down.
"How can I prove it?"
I shrugged. "Seriously, you know how much shrugging urks me!" I shrugged again.
"argh! You wanna know why I don't like Veronica? It's because I'm in love with you, Betty Cooper-Smith."
