The next day after school I picked up on a shift to help Veronica out. I fixed my uniform and walked in. I saw Veronica serving a milkshake to a table. "Hey B!" She said smiling. Her hair was in a clip and she looked like she was in a rush. "Can you go to the back and help me deliver some orders to their tables?" "Yeah sure" I said.
After things quieter down a bit me and Veronica sat at the counter togther. "So I heard you blew off Archie again. Why?" I furrowed my eyebrows. "Who told you that?" I said "Archie did, and he just walked in the door now." She said looking over. Archie walked in and sat down in a booth. "Can you go cover that table for me I'm feeling rather tired." She smiled. I rolled my eyes playfully. "Whatever." I got up and grabbed a notepad. I stood in front of his booth. "Archie." I said annoyed. "What can I get for you." "A blonde girl preferably with a ponytail." He said. I rolled my eyes and clicked the pen closed. "Betty can I please talk to you." He said. I sat down. "What Archie I am working." "You blew me off and then Cheryl spots you in the movies with Jughead Jones?" I looked around for Cheryl. "She did what! Why the hell would she tell you that out of all people!" I whisper yelled. "You said you had homework." "Yeah well obviously that wasent true so can I please go back to work!" I tried to stand up and Archie grabbed my arm. "Please Betty why don't you like me back, or atleast give me a chance. I pulled my hand away. "Because you don't even know or care about me." I walked away.
"Is it because you like Jughead?" He yelled. I ran back over to his table. "Archie you need to shut up okay? It's none of your business if I do or not!" "Well I want to know why your blowing me off to hang with a serpent!" He looked defeated. "Listen Archie I'm sorry I don't like you but there's nothing I can do to change that so just take the hint please and stop doing this while I'm at work." I walked away.
"Well your plan didn't work." I said to Veronica as I walked behind the counter. "I'm sorry B I didn't know he would pester you like that. Especially not in public." I leaned on the counter and put my head in my hands. "Can you just take that table for me?" I said. She nodded and got up.
