BETTY
Today is the day, on which I would finally move in my dorm in Yale and start studying. I have been waiting for this part of my life to come for years.
My best friend Veronica Lodge is enrolled there too, but we couldn't manage to get assigned to the same dorm, so we won't be roommates.
I know, that there are always two to three students in one dorm, but there is no rule for gender mix, so I could possibly be assigned to live with a boy.
I am meeting V in ten minutes on the campus, so I quickly call a cab.
I see my raven hair best friend standing in front of the Yale campus, looking for me. I pay the driver and leave the car, to approach Veronica.
I come from behind as I hug her and she turns around to me.
"Omg, B!" She squeals. "I am so excited!!"
"Oh, me too!" I say. "I have been waiting for this for so long."
"I know," Says Veronica. "And now, we're finally here! I just hope, our roommates will be fine."
"Yeah," I say as we start walking. "It would be to our advantage if we got along with them."

This is my first year in Yale. I am eighteen and my only opportunity for college is this scholarship I got because of my writing.
My family could never afford such an elite college, so I am very glad to finally be here.
I already got assigned to a dorm, but I have no idea who my roommate will be. I just hope, we will be friends, I don't enjoy fighting.
I am in the tiny dorm, as I hear a slight knock on the door, is that my roommate?
I stand up and open up for a unsure blonde girl with big bright green eyes.
"Uh.. hi." She says.
"Hi..." I say quietly.
"Is this room 304?" Says the blonde.
"Yes.. are you.. my roommate?" I ask smiling.
"I guess it looks like it." She says and smiles back.
I let her inside, while watching her tight ponytail swing.

Twenty minutes later, I walk down the outside campus with V.
"So, who's your roomie?" I ask.
"Oh, it's a super cool girl named Cheryl Blossom. She seems to be this popular type of girl, I love it." explains Veronica.
"Ouuh, so you're going to fall for her soon? Do I need to catch you?" I say laughing.
"Maybee.." She says and laughs. "But what about you? Any cute guys?"
I look down and smirk. "Well... actually.."
"Omg! Tell me everything!" She squeals.
"Well, I know nothing. Except for that he is cute and that his name is Jughead Jones, well he says his real name is even worse. He seems to be very nice and he was really polite toward me."
"Awww, I see the roommate romance coming!" Says Veronica happily.
"Shut up, V!" I say and slightly slap her arm.

I am sitting on my bed as I get a call from my best friend Archie Andrews.
(This is Jug and this is Archie)
Hey, Arch, what's up?
Hey, I just wanted to check on you. Remember, we said we'd be talking over the phone every day?
Of course. So what is new in your life?
If you believe it or not, Jug, I found a girl.
No way! Who is she?
Her name is Josie McCoy, and she is gorgeous. Dark skin, precious dark hair and the most amazing dark eyes.
Sounds like you're in love.
Oh, I think I am. You know, she can also sing. I mean, she is really really good. She is even planning to go on tour. I'd be coming with her.
Wow, man. Looks like you're lucky.
Totally. But what about you? Any cute girls?
Uh, I don't know. But my roommate just moved in today.
Okay? And what has that to do with cute girls?
She is a cute girl.
Wait, your roomie is a hot girl?? Wow, You're lucky.
Dude, I have like no chance with her. She is the literal embodiment of perfection.
C'mon, describe her to me. I wanna know what kinda girls you like.
Fine. Well, she has big bright green eyes and blonde hair, in a tight ponytail. She isn't very tall but also not short. Her name is Betty Cooper, by the way.
Wait, Cooper?!
Yeah? You know her?
Yeah, dude! She like literally lived right next to me for eighteen years! Remember that girl that we saw through my window when we were twelve? That was her!!
What?! How come I don't recognize her name?
I just found out what their name was. I didn't tell you, I thought it wasn't important.
Oh, my god. Well, I gotta hang up now. Bye.
Bye, Jug!

I end the call and place my phone next to me. What the heck?! I know Betty Cooper?
I suddenly hear a knock on the door and Betty opens the door two seconds later.
"I'm sorry, I didn't want to interrupt your conversation." Says Betty. She slightly smiles at me and I smile back.
"Wait, did you hear everything I just said?" I ask.
"Partly." She says. "But it isn't making any sense to me."
"Yeah," I say. "Well, I was talking to my best friend Archie Andrews, and by the way, you can come in any time- except for, when there's a tie on the doorknob." I chuckle slightly.
"Wait, Archie Andrews?" Says Betty confused.
"Yep," I say. "And I just heard from him, that he knows you. And apparently I do too- well, I saw you once or twice."
"Yes, Archie Andrews was my neighbor back in Riverdale, but you...?" Says Betty frowning.
"Well, I saw you through his window." I say.
"Oh, my god!" She suddenly says. "You were that mysterious guy in his room with that weird hat!"
"Yeah," I chuckle. "I wore that thing always. Good, that I finally grew out of it."
Betty laughs shortly.
"What a coincidence.." She says quietly to herself. "Well, I gotta go.. again.. bye."
"Bye.." I say as I watch her leave the dorm.
