"Riverdale's best and brightest huh?" Alice said sarcastically, Mayor McCoy stood up
"thank you, Alice, for hosting"
Alice said "when I heard what happened at Nicks party I decided we should get together to deal with this motley crew of liars dope fiends and fornicators, Except for my Betty who was smart enough to leave the party before it descended into a bacchanalian free for all"
Betty tried her best to not snap at her mother afraid of the punishment, she clenched her fist and fell the skin break as her nails dug deep and the warm crimson blood pooled in her hands she stared at her lap
"oh my god mom please don't" Veronica turned to whisper to Kevin and Archie
"great here we go saint Betty and succubus Veronica, you know I might have been the one to take some jingle jangle but she's the one who had a psychotic break down" Archie interrupted her
"cut her some slack Veronica she just broke up with Jughead" Archie whispered not revealing the full truth of the black hood
"oh my god hashtag bughead is no more and she didn't tell me"
"ahem we just need to know exactly what went on at the party, you know like what times you arrived left who else was there" sheriff Keller said "well sheriff we all arrived at Nick's suite at about eight it was just us Nick and Cheryl, Betty left at about nine and the rest of us left at midnight-ish" Veronica explained, Alice turned to look at her daughter and walked up to her as everyone stared confused to what Alice was thinking
"Betty, you told me you left late, you got home at three in the morning, Chic and Polly both heard you" Betty glanced at everyone in the room staring at her before looking at the ground "where were you Betty" Betty stayed silent "Elizabeth Margret Cooper, were you out with them people again," "fine! yes i was because they're my friends and so what if they're in a gang you were too not too many years ago" then there was a knock at the door, Betty stood up and walked to the door she opened it and a girl with blonde hair with purple tips wearing a striking blue leather cropped top and black shorts and loads of bracelets Betty smiled at her "hey girl, i have the stuff right here"Betty grabbed her backpack and handed it to the girl she hugged the girl and whispered something into her ear the blonde stranger walked away Betty grabbed her jacket and ran out of the house "I think that is all for today but I will let you all know about community service" sheriff Keller said
Betty got into a cab in hopes her mother wouldn't catch her
"i swear to god she is getting on my last nerve" Alice walked back into the house and slammed the door on Polly and Chic they sighed and walked around the back of the house, the parents had all left already but the kids were stood watching the scene unfold "what's going on with her" Veronica asked Archie turned around
"I don't think that's any of your business, its got nothing to do with any of you leave it" Archie turned around and walked into his house
"I wanna know what's up with her, you guys in?" Veronica asked
"I gotta get going, but good luck with whatever" Reggie said getting in his car,
"I'm in, Josie?" Kevin said, Josie nodded, they got into Veronicas G-Wagon r, a present from her father from her 16th birthday, "there's road work just at the top this road she should be caught in it so we can find her, they sped and got caught in traffic Veronica rolled the windows down so they could find the cab
"She's over there! turning right!" Kevin yelled,
"crap I need to stop for gas! Kevin pump gas, take my card from the glove box and hurry up!" Veronica instructed pulling into a gas station, Kevin went to get gas while Josie and Veronica tried using find my i phone, after a few minutes they found Betty's location she was at a skate park on the bottom half of the southside when they showed Kevin he said "omg she's on ghoulie territory, I remember Joaquin telling me about it"
"oh my god!, come on" Veronica drove to the park and they snuck in keeping to the back, they saw a group of ghoulies around their age and Malachi sat,they were all wearing ghoulie jackets they were all skateboarding on the ramps, and some were sat on the grass then they all erupted into laughter when one of the male ghoulies and Malachi tried doing cartwheels then a few female ghoulies and a blonde wearing a beanie took her ghoulie jacket off and did and back handspring round off the blonde landed facing the direction of Veronica, Kevin and Josie she flicked her hair back and they saw that it was none other than Riverdale High's golden girl Betty Cooper "oh my GOD!" they all said
"take a photo" Veronica took her phone out of her pocket and took a photo of Betty, then Betty and a red headed girl got on Malachi and a brunets shoulder and tried to push each other off eventually the red head and the boy holding her up fell and Malachi threw Betty playfully up in the air and caught her, "come on, we have to go now Ronnie" Kevin said, they got back in Veronica's G-Wagon "i can't believe it" Josie said turning the radio down "isn't she like in a way cheating on Jughead"
"No according to Archie they broke up," Kevin said, "send me the pics" Veronica sent the pics "I'm going to send them to jughead"
