JUGHEAD
Ugh, my professor assigned me to a project with Donna. She told me she would be coming to my dorm later, which is now.
Good, that Betty is in her lesson and doesn't see Donna here.
I am sitting on my bed, preparing as much of the project, I can do alone so my time with Donna would be reduced.
She knocks on the door and comes in happily.
"Hey, Juggie!" She squeals.
"Don't call me that, not you." I mutter.
Donna glares at Bettys side of the room. "Oh, who is your roommate?" She asks.
"Betty." I say while working on the project.
"That bitch gets to live with you?!" Says Donna jealously. "I should be living here, don't you think?"
I look up at her. "Betty is not a bitch, she is a great roommate to be exact. And I would never want to live with you." I say annoyed and turn to the paperwork again.
"Can we get this done now? That is the only reason you're here." I say.
BETTY
After my lesson is done, V and I divided. She wanted to go to her dorm to Cheryl, who is her girlfriend now, and I wanted to go to my dorm as well.
I walk down the hallway happily, until I stop at our door. There is something on our doorknob. A tie. That means, my roommate is having sex with someone in there.
My heart breaks. He has a girlfriend. I feel like someone punched me in the stomach as I check the room to be certain, it is ours.
I feel the tears in my eyes already and start walking away fast.
I am heading to the backyard now, no one is there at this time, and I need some time for myself.
I sit down on a bench and I hug my knees instantly.
Was I wrong? Was it really not me he was talking about on the phone? He always said "she", so I can't be sure about anything.
I know, how to find out, who he has been talking about.
I pull out my phone and start texting Archie.
Arch?
Betty?
I have a question and you have to answer honestly.
Sure.
Okay, so I heard you and Jug talking about a girl a few times, but you just said "she".
And you wanna know who she is?
Exactly.
I thought you knew.
Yeah, but now I'm not so sure anymore.
Why?
Because your best friend is just fucking some whore right now.
What?! No, Jug wouldn't do that!
He would, there was a tie at the doorknob.
Well, that girl we talked about was you in any case. I thought, he really liked you.
My fantasy too.
Wait, do you like him back?
Are you blind? Yes!
Omg, what has Jug done?!
...
I mean, if that is really true, I am certain, he gave up on you because you're too good for him or something and tries to get you off his mind or something.
That doesn't change anything
I know.
Well, there is nothing I can do about it but cry. Unfortunately not in my bed, because that is what he is using right now.
Mhm.. you should just talk to him.
Well, not now.
Yes, but later, please?
I must talk to him anyways, we're still roommates.
Good.
VERONICA
"You won't believe, what I just saw on my way to you, babe!" Says Cher smirking.
I stand up and peck her lips softly.
"What, Cher?" I ask.
"There was a tie at the doorknob of room 304!" She squeals.
"You mean- Betty and Jughead's room?" I say shocked and my girlfriend nods.
"Well, B just wanted to go to her dorm, but I don't know about Jughead.." I say thoughtful.
"He is in the dorm as well." Says Cher. "I saw him entering a few hours ago."
"That means, they..?" I say grinning.
"Oh, yes, my love." Says Cheryl and we just smile at each other.
I start heading to my besties dorm, as I see the tie still on the doorknob.
I take a deep breath as I knock and open the doors slowly with my hand covering my eyes.
"Okay, lovebirds.." I say. "I'm coming in."
After a few seconds, I uncover my eyes and see Jughead sitting on his bed.
"Veronica?" He says confused. "What are you doing here? Betty is not here. And why are you covering your eyes and what "lovebirds"?"
"Wait, who was here then?" I ask confused.
„Donna." Says Jughead.
„Donna?" I say shocked. „You slept with Donna Sweett??!! Wow, you really wanna break my innocent bestie, don't you?!"
„What?! No!" He says quickly. „I didn't sleep with her! Hell, no! She was here because we needed to do this annoying project together and I kicked her ass out directly afterwards."
I frown. „But then, why is there a tie on the doorknob and why didn't Betty get here, when she told me she'd be going to her dorm?" I say.
„There is a what?!" Says Jughead angrily. "This fucking bitch. Betty must've seen that stupid tie and ran away."
„Wait a minute," I say. „So, Donna came here to work on a project with you and she put that tie there, even though nothing happened. And Betty came here, saw the tie and ran off?"
„That's my theory." Says Jughead.
„Well, we need to find Betty!" I yell. „Her heart is probably broken!"
„What?" He says. „Why would her heart be broken?"
I groan. „Because she likes you, you dumbass!" I yell and run out of the dorm.
I hear Jughead following me. „Wait, are you serious?" He asks while jogging next to me.
„Yes, and I don't wanna hear you rejecting her over me." I say while jogging faster.
„I wasn't going to." Says Jughead and I abruptly stop jogging and turn to him.
"You like her back?" I say.
"Yes!" He says. "Since the day I saw her through the window."
"Wow," I say as I start running again. "You know, I was there too that day."
"What, really?" He asks surprised.
"Yeah, I just wasn't in the view of the window," I reply. "But I saw you anyways. That was the day Betty started talking about you. She said, you were the only guy that looked good in a beanie, even though I cannot agree with that. I'm glad you stopped wearing that."
Jughead chuckles while running next to me. "Wait, do you even know where we're going?" He asks.
"Yes, I'm one hundred percent sure, she is in the backyard. There is no one at this time." I reply.
