Complications

Misunderstood

Betty's pov
          After I stepped in i understood that it is the music room. But what I saw is the least thing that i ever wanted to see. I saw archie with guitar in his left hand laying Uselessly as he making out with a readheaded girl(A/N: the girl is Ginger, Cheryl's friend and one of the river vixen). I narrowed my eyes looking at the disgusting view. I step back slowly not wanting to disturb their MOMENT. I came out of the music room. I felt something that I ever felt before jealousy I don't know, but I didn't like that girls hand around archie. I shook my head trying to regain my happiness of writing for the school newspaper again like before. I roamed around the halls searching for the blue and gold and finally found it. This time I made sure to knock. "Come in" Said a voice. Stepping in I found Jughead holding some papers. Yes V mentioned he runs the blue and gold. He didn't look up so I took my time to admire him and the room. "Hii" I said nervously. He put down the papers and looked at me. I smiled. "Hi" He smiled back. "How you coping up with the new school, betty?" He asked moving away from the table. He pressed my name a little that made me notice he said it for the first time. Image of archie and that red haired girl flicked in my mind. I frowned inwardly. "Yeah, it's okay. But maybe joining in the blue and gold will make it much better." I said. He looked shocked and surprised. "You want to write in the school newspaper?" He asked disbelievingly. " Is that so hard to believe? Or do you think I can't write?" I said crossing my arms. "No, it's not that. It's always me in this place. No one ever showed interest in even taking a glance towards this room" He said. "Oh, that's sad" I said. He shrugged. "So do you have any articles or stories that you wrote? It's not that I don't trust you but its-" I interrupted him. "No, I get it. I used to write for the school newspaper just like you in my former school. If I write something and show you can I get in?" I asked. "Absolutely, I could use some company" He smirked and moved closer and put his hand forward for me to shake it. I chuckled and shook his hand.

Archie's pov
               I headed straight to music room after the class. The only place where I could feel myself. I take out my guitar and my music notes. I wrote song lyrics all summer but didn't told anyone about it. I started playing my guitar and singing one of my favorite song. I got lost in it that I didn't even hear the door open. I opened my eyes when I felt a hand on my shoulder, which belonged to Ginger. "Hey Archibald, I missed you the whole summer. I know you missed me too" She grinned and winked. I rolled my eyes. How narcissistic! "Hi ginger" I said. "Archie! You are great at playing the guitar. Did you write those?" She asked and tried to take my notes. Thankfully I'm fast I grabbed it before she can. "Uhh.. It's nothing" I said while she nodded.
                  For a minute there I thought she'd leave but she didn't. She started walking towards me. I gulped and hold my guitar with one hand. "Archie.. " She said seductively. "How about we make up  for all the time we missed each other" She hissed in my ear. I gulped again. Before I could say anything she crashed her lips on mine. I was so shocked. I heard some footsteps but didn't saw who it is. After realising, I pushed her away. "What the hell!? If you are soo horny go try some other people and leave me alone!!" I shouted. "Archie, you don't mean that" She said stubbornly. "Of course I mean it. Now get the hell outta here!" I shouted again. She trembled and took a step away and finally left.
                       I can't believe that I actually shouted at her. But what I did was right, I couldn't take it anymore. God, she's more annoying than Cheryl. I sat back for sometime and then left to lunch.

            At lunch, Ronnie and I talking sitting at our usual table. Jug and betty are nowhere to be seen. "Where's jug?" I asked. "No idea. Didn't see him since morning." She shrugged. I looked from my plate and saw some vixens across from our table that includes Ginger giving me sneaky glances. I groaned. "Archiekins, are they bothering you?" Asked Ronnie. I looked at her to tell what happened but shook my head. "No Ronnie, they're not." I said. I don't want her to pick up a fight. She nodded and start to talk about something which I was clearly not listening and my gaze shifted to the very odd pair entering the cafeteria. Jug and betty? He said something and she laughed. I felt a tinge of jealousy that I can't control. As they walked further in, my eyes met theirs. I gestured them to join.
                     "So B, did you like the blue and gold?" Asked Ronnie. "Loved it" Said betty looking at jug. "Wait.. You joining the blue and gold?"I asked. She nodded and turned away. 'What was that again?' " And jug you're considering betty in right?" Ronnie asked. "Uh yeah.. As per the rules she has to show me the work of her own. Then I'll consider" Jug said. Ronnie gave him a sharp glare. "Don't look at me like that ronnie. By her experience she'll sure get in. And I could use the company." He said and smiled at betty. She smiled back. I look at the both of them and couldn't help myself but ask "seems like you both have already became good friends" I said. The three looked at me. "Aren't you?" I asked again while drinking my juice. Now I sound like a jealous freak. "We have" Said betty sternly half glaring at me.
                     "Hii" Said Cheryl smiling brightly. "Veronica, there is this vixens meeting after lunch. I don't want you to be late spending your time with new students and hobo's" She said. "Cheryl, stop being mean" I said. "Anything for you Archie" She smiled and left. I rolled my eyes and started eating. After lunch I ran after betty. "Betty!" I shouted running towards her. She kept walking. Maybe she didn't heard it. "Betty!!" I called after her again. She still didn't turn around. I ran and grabbed her arm turning her around to face me. "Archie!" She Shrieked and took back her hand from my grasp. "Everything okay?" I asked. "Yes, why wouldn't it be?" She said little harshly. What's wrong with her for a minute she'll be nice and the next minute she acts like I'm a complete idiot. "Nothing.. It's..you were saying something in the morning before Ronnie interrupted. What is it?" I asked. She looked at me in the eye and said "Uh.. It's.. Nothing" and started walking away. "Betty wait!" I shouted again running after her but stopped by someone calling my name " Andrews!" Urgh!! Perfect timing reggie. "What reggie?" I groaned. "Cool dude! Trying to ask the ponytail out?" He smirked. I glared at him. "What do you want, reggie?" I asked. "Oh, so sorry for interrupting your moment Archie but we have some football practice to do." He said sarcastically. I frowned. "Let's go" I said as we made our way to the field.
