Rewriting Riverdale: Book 1

Chapter 5: Bettie

"His girlfriend," he said, "His sad and lonely girlfriend ,"
"Were not dating," I replied , calmly
"Could've fooled me" he cackled, "Tell me, how sad does it feel that Jugjead is the only boy who wants you?"
"Better than it would feel to have you be the only boy that wants me," she snapped,
Apparently Reggie didn't have a reply, there was silence filled by the giggling of Jughead because of the roast I just threw at Reggie,
"Your lucky your girlfriend is here to save you, Jones," he spat, before spinning around and walking in the opposite direction,
"Dies he do that to you all the time?" I asked
"Yep," he replied, "All the damn time,"
"You need to talk to someone," I told him,
"No!" He said, "If we tell someone he'll  hit harder,"
"Well" I said, pursing my lips, " Let's get to class,"
The next lesson was more boring than boring; science by the way. Our teacher doesn't give a damn what we do, so our class turn into animals- throwing paper, pencils, chanting football songs. While all that goes on, she sits at her desk on Facebook. I see Jughead at the back- he has some how managed to sneak his laptop in to class, and is typing rapidly. I had a sudden itch to go and see him, but then I know he'll be tortured by Reggie, so I stay stationed in my chair. To my surprise however, Jughead makes his way to me,
"Hello Betts," he said, happily and my stomach churned at my new nickname,
"Hey, Jug," I say, "Managed to sneak your laptop in, huh?"
"Yep," he replied, looking proud of himself, "I'm writing a story about Jason Blossom,"
"That's cool," I said, approvingly
"Also I think I've got us our first lead" he said, "Dilton Doyley,"
