Betty's life was a disaster. Betty and Jughead broke up after he got initiated in the Serpents and they just drifted apart. But, that wasn't the worst part. After, her dad was arrested her mom died. While drunk, in a car accident, and her sister was living on the farm. Leaving Betty Cooper all alone. She couldn't afford to pay for the house, resulting in her moving into a trailer at Sunnyside Trailer Park. And to top it all off. Riverdale High didn't want her to attend their anymore because of her dad and where she lived. So, that left her, being an orphan, living in a trailer, and starting her first day at Southside High.
She decided after she moved to Sunnyside that her mom didn't have control over what she wore, so her whole closet contained, blacks, greys, and dark colors. For her outfit for her first day at Southside High. She decided on a black crop top, skinny jeans and combat boots with a little more heel, and wore her hair down, and packed a knife in her boot. It was the new Betty, the Southside Betty.
She walked into her new and school and made heads turn, maybe because she was hot or they were wondering what happened to the perfect girl next door to end up here. Probably the second one. Right when she walked she heard Sweet Pea say
"Hey, northsider you lost,"
Classic Sweet Pea. Some serpents laughed.
"Actually, yes. Do you know where Mrs. Smith is?"
She said glaring at him.
"Um, she's down the hall to the right.
"Thanks"
She said sarcastically. She walked away didn't look back and swayed her hips. She was satisfied. But, she was not excited for seeing, The Serpent King and his Queen Toni. Ughh. She went to the principals office and got her timetable, went to her first period, and oh what great luck she has, Jughead is in her class, as well as a bunch of Serpents. She finished her class, in the back, never raising her hand. When class was over she bolted out, avoiding Jughead. Then, she went to the front of the school, and grabbed a pack of her Camels out of her backpack,and lit up. It was a habit she picked up after her mom died, it's a coping mechanism.
"Hey princess, when did you start to smoke"
It was Sweet Pea, again.
"Shut up, Sweet Pea, it's my way to cope"
"Isn't it everyone's"
True. She went back inside and sat down, at an empty table, she was not getting in gangs or between them, she was just gonna get through senior year, peacefully. She knew that was never gonna happen, but a girl can wish. Of course, her luck it was gonna happen right now.
"Betty, this is a long way from the Northside"
It was Jughead, she did not want to deal with this.
"Bye. I'm going outside."
"I'll come with you"
Jughead responded with a smirk on his face. She went outside and got another cigarette out of her pack.
"Why did you start smoking, Betts"
"Reasons, it's how I cope"
"Ha, what do you have to cope for, with your perfect life"
He scoffed. The nerve of him.
"Really, my "perfect life". My dad is a serial killer, who will be in prison for the rest of his life, and everyone in this town hates me for it. My mom died. And my sister is god knows where, at this farm. And, I have no friends, no parents, no sister, I'm all alone. I'm almost 17. My life is horrible."
"Wow, her life is more screwed up than yours, Jug"
"Shut up, Sweet Pea."
"I'm sorry, Betts"
"I don't need your apology, Jughead. And, I don't need you either, or those Northside jerks."
She stomped on her cigarette, and left a stunned Jughead Jones. School was over and they had released an announcement, people attending Southside High will be attending different schools. Of course, she got transferred to Riverdale High, with Sweet Pea, Fangs, and the Southside King and Queen. Whippe.
