Complications

Tryouts

Next day,
Betty's pov
"So, you got into blue and gold?" Asked V. "Yes!! I showed jughead my articles that I wrote in my former school and he said there were good enough" I said as I clapped my hands together in the air. "That's great B. You have one more activity to get in" She smirked. I sighed. "Yeah.. I remember" I said. "Good.. Let's go then" She dragged me to the gym. We changed in the locker room. Many girls are waiting for tryouts. I don't think I'll get in. Not that I wanted to. I sighed resting my hands on my knees.
                               "Come on B, let's do this together!" Exclaimed V, grabbed my hand and dragged me towards Cheryl blossom. "Hm.. Veronica are you trying out? Did your brain cells forgot that you are already a vixen." Said cheryl with an evil grin. I glared at her. "If only I forget things Cheryl you'll be the first person that I ever wanted to forget." Smirked V crossing her arms. I controlled my laughter. She growled. "What do you want Veronica?" She asked finally. "Betty here is trying out for cheerleading and I'm here to accompany her." She said as she put her hand on my shoulder. I smiled. "Well well..New girl. Looking at you I didn't thought you would be
interested in this kind of activities" She said. 'I'm not' I thought looking at my feet. "Anyway.. Let's see what you got. No promises that you are getting in." She said. I looked at V. "Let's show what I taught you yesterday B. You're gonna be great" She assured me squeezing my shoulder. I nodded. Next few minutes are completely oblivious to me. We danced, we did. I did exactly what V told me to do. After completion of our little show, I looked up and saw that all the vixens are watching us and their mouths shaped into 'O'. God! I always hate attention. 'Yes, our dance is a little sexy but was that bad?' I thought. I tugged at V's dress. She's looking at Cheryl. "As much as I hate to say this.. You're in new girl" Said Cheryl and got up and left. V smiled brightly and hugged me. I hugged her back.
                   "B, you look amazing!" She smiled. "Thanks V. You're not so bad yourself" I smiled back. I dressed up in my vixen uniform for the first time. It fit me so well. Maybe being a river vixen isn't a bad idea. I smiled to myself. "B, we have to go to the football field" She said as we exited the locker room. "Why?" I asked. "To watch the team that we are supposed to support, of course" She said. "Uh?" I asked but she didn't bother to explain. We walked to the field. I saw the Bulldogs playing, literally fighting Im not a big fan of the sport. V and I walked to the bleachers where I saw all the river vixens which includes Cheryl and the girl who kissed Archie in the music room. She's screaming and jumping clapping her hands. I looked at the gaze of that redhead girl and got sight of Archie goals and he's looking back at her. I felt like I wanna kick that girl from the bleachers onto to the field. I groaned and sat. No wonder.

Archie's pov
               I haven't played football all summer. Yet I'm playing well.. Not bad. I goal and I heard shouts from the bleachers and saw Ginger jumping like a child. I didn't care. I looked at Ronnie and waved. She waved back. But I was struck when I saw Betty in the river vixen uniform. She's breath taking. The world around me stopped for a moment. I never ever felt like this before. Our eyes met and she quickly turned but I didn't.. I couldn't. "Andrews get your head in the game" Coach Clayton shouted. I ran to the team. We started playing again but I payed zero attention to the game. I kept glancing towards Betty. I'll get caught.. Get caught for sure.. Stop it Andrews. Coach, Reggie, chuck everyone warned that I'm playing rubbish. I couldn't blame them. Now I tried to focus but from the corner of my eye I saw Betty got up, I looked at her and BAM! Chuck knocked me unintentionally.
                I am in my locker room just took shower and applying ice to my newly wounded shoulder. "What's wrong with you today Andrews?" Asked chuck. "Nothing, just tired." I said. "Doing what?" He asked. Before I could answer Reggie intruded in "tired of drooling over the new-next-door-blonde-ponytail. Right Archie?" He smirked. I glared. "Next door!??" Exclaimed Chuck. "Yes Clayton, the new girl Betty Cooper is right next door to our golden boy Archie Andrews. Seems like he's enjoying it way too much" Reggie said smugly. "Woah.. How come you didn't mentioned it? I wouldn't blame Archie being so distracted. She is so hot in the vixen uniform. I could ask her on a date and we could have some fun." He smirked to himself. That's it. I slammed him to the locker not caring about my wounded shoulder. "Touch her Clayton and you're dead!" I said. "Archie let him go!! " Shouted Reggie grabbing my arm. I shoot a glare at him and he stepped back. I let chuck go, put on my shirt and left. I got out, I don't know where to go. *ding* I checked my phone to see a message from Ronnie. It said- 'Archiekins, you okay? Waiting for you in the common room'. So, common room then.

Betty's pov
"V, don't worry he's gonna be okay. It's just a bump.. A hard bump" I said looking at V whose currently pacing. She is soo good, soo caring who fallen for a jock, playboy Archie. I should tell her what I saw in the music room. Maybe then she'll stop crushing over Archie. "Yes B. But I'm still worried." She said. I looked at her concerned. Suddenly, what happened before is flicking in my mind. Was Archie freaking Andrews sneaking glances at ME the whole match??. Not to be a complete narcissistic but I felt like it. Why would he be staring at me when he got the whole vixen gang cheering at him? Maybe I misunderstood, maybe he's looking at V, or maybe I'm thinking too much. Cut the crap! Betty. That's when the so called golden boy entered the room.
        "Hey" Said Archie holding his left shoulder. "Archiekins! Let me see" Said V running towards him. They sat on the couch. "Archie, you okay?" Asked Kevin. "I'm fine kev. Ronnie don't worry. It's nothing." He said as he pulling his sleeves up showing his muscles. I hid my blush. "B, could you help me hold his sleeves up. I'll tie it". Said V holding crepe rolled bandage. He looked up at me. My eyes widened. My heart beat started to race faster. "B!" Said V again. "Uh.. Yeah I will" I said and moved towards Archie. He's eyes following my every move. I sat on my knees next to him. I hold up his sleeve. Tips of my fingers touched his bare muscles. Shivers built up from my spine. Though I'm looking at my feet I can feel his eyes switching between V and I. Sitting there felt awful and forever. Finally, she's done. I got up and sat on the couch. "Thank you so much Ronnie" Said Archie squeezing her hand. V blushed. "Thanks Betty" He said. I nodded.
                 "So.. I was wondering we could go to pops after school" Said Archie. "Archiekins, you need to rest" Said V. "Come on Ronnie, you know I'm fine. Besides Betty's never been their before, as friends we have to take her" He smiled at me. "Yes, B we didn't hang out. We should." Said V. "You're coming right?" Asked Archie. I looked at V than archie. "Okay" I said. "Good.. I'll bring jug then" Said archie getting up. I looked at V she looked disappointed. "Ah archie wait" I said getting up as well. "Huh?" Asked archie. "I left my book in the blue and gold. He could possibly be there. I'll bring him." I smiled at archie, winked at V and left to the blue and gold.

I'm trying to write as fast as possible😅
I know Betty's feelings for archie are a complete chaos but that's how girls feels for a boy right? 😉
Ronnie's caring for archie is the best part🥰🥰
