Rewriting Riverdale: Book 1

Chaper 3: Betty

I was excited- for the first time in forever- to go to school. I got dressed in the most pink outfit I could conjure and skipped down the stairs,
"You look happy, this morning," her mother said at breakfast
"I'm happy to start a new week and a clean page," I replied,
She looked lovingly at me, "You are realy mature," she said, placing a cold hand on hers, "I am proud of you for admitting your mistakes,"
"I'm sorry about the detention," I said
She gave a little laugh, "Don't worry about that," she ushered, "It's not like I was clean of detentions at your age,"
I walked to school in a overjoyed mood, I entered the 'Blue and Gold' office to see Jughead reading over an article I was working on, "Hey Jughead," I said,
"Oh hey, I was just reading over this article," he said "Realy good by the way,"
"Thank you," I said, pulling out a chair next to him, "Do you think it's a bit boring ?"
He snorted,
"How do you even make an article about wallpaper interesting?" He laughed and I did too,
"It was that or about Jason Blossom," I said, " I can write about him now I've got an extra set of hands,"
Jughead shook with excitement, "This is going to be so cool!" He exclaimed,
"It is," I agreed
The door burst open,
"Hey, B I..." she began but stopped as she saw Jughead "Oh, it's hat boy,"
"Hat boy has a name," I snapped
"Betty, honestly I don't care, I.." Jughead began,
"No, Jug," I interjected, "You don't deserve to be known as 'hat boy',"
"So your going on his side?" Veronica snapped,
"Yeah," I am," I shrieked, "You're in the wrong,"
"Come on B," Veronica sighed, "Bo one even cares about him," she caught sight Jughead sad face,
"Well, I do!" I shouted, "Jughead is my friend,' I didn't add that I get butterflies around him, for my social life's sake,
"Fine," she snapped, before turning around and leaving,
"Did you mean all those things?" Jughead asked
"Yeah," she said, "Why wouldn't I?"
"I've never had a real friend," he admitted, "someone who I can trust,'
She looked him in the eye, "You do now,'
Jughead burst put laughing,
"What?" She asked defensively,
"That was so cool," he replied l
"What was?"I asked, still puzzled,
"The way you stood up to that girl," he replied "That was awesome,"
I felt myself blush,
"Thanks,"
