With You

Back to school

Bettys POV:

    I awoke from my sleep the next morning to an alarm clock beeping. It went of a few seconds later and I relaxed again. Hoping I could not go to school today. I knew I was just going to get bullied by everyone. Especially my siblings. "Baby" I heard Jugs voice. I loved it when he used that nickname for me. "We have to go to school today" he said. My eyes fluttered open and I seen him. His face, his eyes that were filled with love, he gave me a shimmer of hope.

     I sat up "ok" I said sadly. "Hey, whats wrong" he asked and sat up beside me.he wrapped one arm around me and pulled me against him. "Polly and Chic. They are going to make things so much worse on me" I told him. "Hey, I won't let them hurt you" he said genuinely. "Yea, but we went in all the same classes. You can't always protect me Jug" I told him. "Yes I can" he said.

    I got ready for school quietly as I just got worked up about school. I felt sick by the time we left. My body filled with nerves. Once we pulled up at the school I felt my stomach hurt worse. Why was I so nervous about this. I hear the most familiar car pull up as me and Jug walked up the front door steps hand in hand. I couldn't seem to not listen closely to the voices behind me. "There she is" a girl whispered. Polly. I squeezed Jugs hand tightly when I heard Chic  "oh my Gosh that bitch lied about dad"

    Without realizing it I was walking quicker. Pulling Jughead behind me a bit as we walked into the school and down a hall. Me and my siblings had the same first period and that was where I was going. I heard Polly begin to laugh with Chic. They were about 20 feet behind us but all I was focused on was them. "Betty, calm down. Ignore them" Jughead said as he pulled me to the side of the classroom. "I'll try"

    The bell rang and I sat in my usual seat in the back. Head down in my arms ignoring the stares I knew I was getting. "Elizabeth" the teacher starts. "Come up here and receive the work you have missed while you were absent" she said. I stood up and walked the her. Carefully walking past Polly. I grabbed a stack of papers that I wasn't going to do and turned to walk again. As I approached Polly again she stopped me. "Listen Slut. You may have escaped us at home but you are still under our watch at school" she growled at me. "You better back off that serpent of yours"

    "Or what Polly?" I asked. I tried to sound threatening a bit. "Or I will ruin you myself" she said. I laughed at that. As if she could get between us. "I will make things worse for you!" She told me. I ignored her and walked away. Why doesn't she want me to have friends. Just 1. I don't understand what her problem is. So I decided to ask. We are sisters, why can't we love each other and have a good bond like we are supposed to? 

    So I ripped out a piece of paper and wrote the question as the teacher wrote on the board.

Why can't I have friends? What do you have against it? I wrote. I tapped the person in front of me on the shoulder. "Hand this to Polly please" I said and smiled. A minute later I received the passer back and opened it.
Because! If I allow you to have a good social life at school, Dad will punish me. So me and Chic will make sure your life sucks here as well!

    So it's my dads fault. He doesn't want me to have a good life at school so he send my siblings to ruin it. Why must he ruin everything?  I ripped the note in half and stomped across the room to throw it away. I sat back down with my head in my arms. Dreading for lunch so I could see him again. So I could receive another glimpse of hope. So I could be happy even if it's only for a few moments.

Time Pass

    I walked through the hallways past a lot of people who whispered and looked shocked at me. I was heading to the lunch room. "Yo girl" some guy said who ran up behind me. I turned my head and he looked at me. "Ey you supposed to be dead" he laughed as he whipped his phone up and took a picture. He then pushed me against a locker and earned a few laughs. I knew what he meant. My siblings said that I killed myself. I might have it it wasn't for Jughead and Fp.

    I was getting closer to the lunchroom when a few girls came to me. "Ugh I actually wished you had killed yourself ugly bitch" one laughed. "Yea me too" the other said. I felt some tears come them. Maybe they were right. The world might be better without me here. "Oh are you gonna cry?" The other one laughed and pointed. I shoved past them as more tears fell from my eyes. I tried to wipe them away as I entered the lunchroom. There he was.

    I seen him turn around and smile when he seen me but his smile dropped when he seen my sad expression. I tried to look happy but apparently I'm not good at that because he could tell something was wrong. He approached me and wiped a tear off my face. "Baby, what happened?" He asked me. I didn't say much other than "just the usual" he looked for a minute and then spoke again. "Who's ass do I need to kick baby?" He asked like it was normal. I laughed a bit and started walking to the table filled with serpents. All I wanted was to be with Jughead.
