Betty was probably overreacting. She knew this day had been coming. But it still hurt. She let out a small sigh. She gave herself a shake and smiled as she looked at her image in the mirror. Her blonde hair was tied in her signature ponytail. She wore pastel clothing. Her normal amount of make-up and pink lipstick. She bit her lip and gave a sigh. When she truly thought about it she could see why everyone thought she was perfect. Perfect. Oh how much she hated that word. Perfect. It was how so many people described her. It was probably why Archie had decided to date her. She was safe, she was a good girl. But she didn't want all that. She didn't want to be remembered as the "Perfect Girl Next Door". She smiled and got ready for school.
Betty sat in class taking notes from the teacher.
"Betty, Betty Copper please report to the office." Betty felt herself tense slightly. All eyes landed on her as she got up. Betty gathered her stuff and walked up to the office trying to avoid the looks. She wondered what the office needed her for.
Principle Weatherbee sat behind his desk his arms folded neatly in his lap. A group of students stood in front of him looking uncomfortable. Betty closed the door looking at the group. Each one wore leather jackets with the symbol of a snake on the back. She felt a shiver run down her spine despot it being really hot that day.
"Betty, I would really like it if you showed these new students around our school. Their old school has unfortunately burned down. Could you do that for me Betty?" Betty gulped looking at the group. There were five people. Four were boys and one was a girl.
"Yeah, I could do that." She smiled looking back to her principle. The girl stepped towards Betty and put her hand out.
"I'm Toni." She smiled as Betty took her head.
"I'm Fangs." One of the boys said.
"Joaquin."
"Sweet pea."
"I'm Jones." Betty nodded to all of the boys as they introduced themselves.
"I'm Betty." She led them out the door.
Jughead rubbed the back of his neck as he watched the girl before him. She was really pretty. She was cute. 'Snap out of it Jug, she'd never like someone like you.'
"Jughead, is it just me or is our guide like really cute?" Sweet pea whispered walking behind him.
"No, it's not just you." He whispered back. Toni smacked his arm.
"Shut up, both of you." She hissed under her breath.
"This is the cafeteria," Betty said. Jughead saw her mutter something to herself her hand shaking slightly.
"Are you okay?" Jughead asked crossing his arms. She tensed.
"Yeah. I'm fine." She lied turned around. Jughead decided not to push it. He had another idea in mind.
"So, has anyone ever told you that you're really cute." He smirked. Betty's cheeks tinted a light pink and her eyes widened.
"Let's carry on with the tour." She said changing the subject rather quickly. Betty turned and kept with the tour messing up her words a lot.
"Nice going man." Sweet pea chuckled as they roamed the halls.
"So you've seen our school. I hope you all have a good time here in Riverdale High." She scurried off.
Betty heard a slight thud on her lockers. She jumped a little and looked over. Jughead stood there leaning against the locker.
"Can I help you?" She asked closing her locker.
"Kinda, I'm here to ask you on a date." Betty looked at him with a puzzled look. She opened her mouth but he cut her off.
"Pop's diner, meet me at 7:50. I expect to see you there." He called walking off. She looked around. What had just happened?
Jughead scratched his chin. He sat in the booth looking at his watch. 8:10. He gave a sigh rubbing his face. Why was he even worried. She was a Northsider. He was a Southsider. Their kind just didn't mix. That was like a law. He closed his eyes letting himself get lost in thought.
"Sorry, I'm late. Got held up with my mom." Jughead looked up and saw the blonde. He smiled taking in her form. She wore a light pink dress and pink lipstick. Her hair was still tied in a ponytail. She sat down across from Jughead. She looked…nervous, like really nervous. Jughead frowned.
"Is everything okay?" He asked not really wanting to push her.
"Fine, I just don't know why I'm here." Jughead raised an eyebrow and couldn't help feeling slightly offended. Betty realized this and kicked herself mentally. "Oh no, I'm sorry. I well, I just got out of a relationship and I don't know if I'm ready to start another one so soon." She sighed resting her head on her hand. Jughead leaned forward.
"I understand, relationships are hard. But you are really pretty and I wanted to get to know you better. Let's not call this a date. How about… Two people getting to know each other." Betty smiled letting her body relax...
"I would like that."
