Mercy POV

Me, Betty, Jughead and Veronica all sit around a table and talk about the confession.

Me:I don't think she killed him... They probably set something up, Jason was on the swim team. He would have known if a undercurrent had taken him to swim parallel to the beds.

Betty:Yeah but panicking can make you forget that.

Me:The waters were calm where they were. So...

Jughead:Maybe she is covering something up, Jason was found dead with a head shot and we all know they were close... Too close to just let one die without the other. Or to kill the other.

Veronica:So she's not guilty?

Me:Probably...

Soon someone mentions the blossoms coming in and taking Cheryl.

I walk with the trio to the student lounge when Archie comes up and grabs me pulling me back gently. Everyone looks at us and Archie gives a fake smile.

Archie:We'll be right there.

They walk off all three looking back from time to time until they make it in the lounge looking through the window, I look at Archie.

Archie:I lied.

Me:About?

He looks around and comes closer and I frown. He leans and whispers.

Archie:I told Mr. Weatherbee and sheriff Keller that you were with me that morning writing songs with Vegas.

Hold on, wait a damn minute. I smack his arm and he sighs.

Archie:I know I know but I couldn't give them the real truth!

Me:Fine, but I swear to God Archie -

Archie:You won't get in trouble! We went at 8 and you just helped me write a couple of parts for songs. We heard the gun shot and you advised me not to go investigate.

Me:Alright.

Archie:Were you anywhere else that may contradict this?

Me:Yes, but don't worry, that won't come up during this.

He cocks his head to the side and I smirk and shake my head.

Me:Another story for another time.

Archie:Come on! I told you my deepest secret!

Me:I'll tell you later, the group is looking at us like we're plotting something evil. Come on.

We walk inside and I sit on couch Archie next to me Kevin and the others infront and on the side of us.

Veronica:So are you a suspect now?

Kevin:My dad says we all are, including me.

Veronica:Not me girl. I don't know these people.

Kevin:Guys, should we maybe re-binge making a murderer on Netflix tonight?

Betty:Sorry gotta stay late to work on the paper.

Veronica:Count me out too, I've got a date tonight.

Archie:You do?

Kevin:Which Riverdale hottie made the cut?
