The Yearly 365 Challenge

Prompt #15 (Location) Riverdale Public Library

Kevin sat down at the long table and looked around at the group situated there. He sighed deeply. "Let get this done all ready." He pulled out the books that were needed for the group protect that they were assigned. He felt Betty whom was next to him do the same.

Chuck leaned back in his chair with his arms folded across his chest. "You guys do the work I get the grade."

Betty looked up in annoyance. "No Chuck. If you don't do your share of the work then we only get credit for what we did. If that means a failing grade because all of it isn't ready yet than fine."

A slow smirk lifted his lips. "I'm sure Mama Alice would just love that. Won't she perfect Betty?"

Betty's right fist curled in on it's self and she felt her nails against her all ready healed moon shape imprint.

"We are all going to do this protect together." Dilton spoke in a calm annoyed voice. He looked over at Kevin and Betty with a firm look. Then he turned and looked into Chuck's eyes. "Sides you need a good grade on this project also Chuck. More than the rest of us."

"Shut your face," Chuck spat turning his glare into Dilton's face.

"Why do we always have to go through this." Kevin groaned. "Been this way since sixth grade."

Chuck simply watched in silence as the other three started the project. He sighed as he sat forward and pulled out his own books. He knew that he couldnt' bully these three to do all the work and allow him to get the grade. These three would honesty make him do the work. Might as well get it done then.

Betty was still very angry at Chuck for his comment. But she had known Chuck since Preschool so his comment wasn't anything new. But after what he did it to Veronica that was a very new low for him. Betty would never forgive Chuck for that. She would put up with him for the rest of high school … because they had to. But after they graduated then she won't put up with him any longer. She simply won't.

Kevin's right leg gently tapped Betty's underneath the table. His eyes met hers and he offered a small smile in comfort. He was relieved when she returned it before going back to her work.
