Broken: a Riverdale Story

by MomarieP

The story follows the next generation of Riverdale High - Cora, Archie and Veronica's daughter, Lily, Betty and Jughead's daughter, and everyone else, including some characters such as Alex, who's introduced later in the story. (The spelling of Lily's name kinda changes in the middle, sorry)

1. Chapter 1

Cora looked out the window of the classroom. A gloomy day, as always, she thought, fiddling with her earrings. Not surprised. This town is never sunny. She looked back at the instuctor, bored out of her mind. Unsure of what to do, she tapped her best friend, Lilly, on the shoulder. Lilly glanced at Cora.

"What're you doing?" Lilly hissed. "Pay attention! This is important."

"Well," Cora whispered back, "I was thinking we could... Wreak some havoc?"

Cora wiggled her eyebrows at Lilly, and Lilly rolled her eyes.

"What did you have in mind?"

"Are you sure this was a good idea?" Lilly yelled over the fire alarms and sprinklers. "Cause I don't think it was."

Cora giggled. "Yep, I'm sure! Now come on, we gotta "evacuate". They'll be worried." She wiggled her eyebrows again, and Lilly rolled her eyes again, as per usual. As they evacuated, they ran into the principal, Mr. Weatherbee.

"What are you doing, taking so long?" Weatherbee asked. "Is it that, perhaps, you girls were the ones to set off the alarms?"

Cora put on her most innocent face possible, which, by the way, wasn't very innocent. "No, Principal Weatherbee. We were just in the bathroom!"

Weatherbee eyed them suspiciously, but didn't interrogate them any more. "Well, Riverdale is a small town. I'm sure you know that by now, so I'm sure you also know that everyone in the town will know about this, and they'll have their suspicions."

Cora looked at Lilly, and Lilly looked back at Cora. Suddenly, Cora started giggling. Principal Weatherbee grabbed her arm.

"Cora Andrews, this is unacceptable!" Said Weatherbee, frowning. "You get to my office, now! I'm getting old, and I have no time to deal with this, you hear me? No. Time."

Cora put on her innocent face again and looked at the ground. "But Principal Weatherbee -"

"No buts! Now I'm heading to my office, and you'd better be with me in three minutes. No more, no less. Get there after I announce that this fire is not real. That this is a prank."

"Yes, Principal Weatherbee," Lilly said quietly. "We'll be there."

Once Weatherbee left, Cora grabbed Lilly's arm and turned her around.

"What were you thinking?!" Cora half-yelled. "You should've defended me- defended us! He trusts you, Lilly! You should've - I dunno, lied!"

"See, Cora?" Lilly whispered. "This is why my mom says I shouldn't be friends with you."
