Betty Cooper was feeling nervous , she could feel the sweat pouring down her forehead , her body hot and slightly shaken up , she could feel her mind overthinking every possible outcome ,she was dreading this ,but not as much as she dreaded allowing this to happen , allowing Veroinca to tease her into doing it , but what could she say , its not like she could turn her back on it , no matter what she knew Veroinca wouldn't let it go ,wouldn't let her forget what she promised in her drunk state , Betty waited in her best friends house , digging her pale fingers into her skin on her thighs , taking deep breaths in and out
"Betty hey what are you doing here "
Betty looks up , to meet his dark brown eyes , his smile radiating , his perfectly sculpted jaw overwhelming , his broad shoulders catching her attention along with his tightly worn shirt that hanged perfectly on his lower body , showing his perfect muscular physique , for some reason no words came out , she was in shock , she was scared and worried , her anxiety was real right now , for the first time Betty was nervous around her red headed best friend since childhood
"Is everything ok"
He asks , sending chills down her body , his deep yet soft voice making her even more nervous ,Betty nods gently looking at Archie , tapping the seat beside her on his bed , as if indicating him to sit down , he sets his bag down giving her his full attention with no distractions , which usually Betty adored but at this moment in time she was dreading it , she feels his stare on her awaiting her answer , she takes his hand softly giving him an almost sad yet pleading look, worry washes over his face
"I ...need you to do something for me ok"
She whispers softly , her body tense , he nods
"Of course anything "
He answers, her stomach forms butterflies from his sweet and instant answer
"Ok before you freak out...just hear me out "
She rushes the words , leaning closer to him , to get his full attention , Archie raises his eyebrows in confusion
"I...made a bet ...with Veroinca "
The words fall slow , making this feel like hours ,when in reality it was seconds , Archie's expression falls with fear
"Betty what's going on"
He asks , she just looks at him then down ,to avoid eye contact , but her eyes betray her by looking back up , she felt bad for making him so worried , the once softness in his eyes had evaporated
"I ...said that ...if she could ...take Cheryl out on a date ...i would loose my virginity before the year ended ...to someone on the football team"
He was shocked, not one word was said , he just stared at his best friend , he shakes his head and stands up
"Absolutely not i am not helping you have sex with someone on my football team ...do you have any idea how dangerous they are Betty "
"Well that's kinda why...i was hoping you ...would ... you know"
His heart stopped ,his eye's widened, for a minute he actually considered it
"What no...no ...why "
He asks rushing the words out , he looks at her , her head down in shame
"Because ...your the only one i trust ...and your the only one who won't judge me ...or make me feel like an object "
"I wouldn't ask this if it wasn't important ...do you really think i want to rewin an experience like that for you..do you think I'm fine with this ...Archie I'm not even comfortable with my own skin "
