Jughead was shocked at the speech Betty just made. He noticed taht she did get hotter, as Sweat Pea said, she loooked more womanly. The only reason he broke up with her before was the fact she lived on the Northside. Now that's changed, but so has she. Jughead has never really lived Toni, he just carea about her. He's been planning on breaking up with her for a couple of weeks but doesn't know how.
Jughead just stood there and watched her walk away. A perfect girl broken. He went to his classes and pretended that Betty wasn't distracting him.
At lunchtime Betty was dying for a cigarette. It's one of the things that helps her cope with her shitty life. There were people outside smoking when she came out. She seen a group of serpents and hoped none of them were Jughead. She lit her cigarette and began smoking. She leaned against the wall beside the door.
Jughead couldn't find most of the serpents. He decided to check outside. He went outside to see people smoking. He asked the first person near him which was a girl smoking beside the door. "Hey have you seen-" he stopped when he realised it was Betty. "So you smoke now?" He asked. "Yes Jug, I've a shitty life, nothing to live for and it helps me cope" Betty said them just turned away. "Also the serpents are over there, do me a favour and ask them to stop starting at me, it's creepy"
Jughead walked over to them. "She truly is broken" Jughead said to Sweat Pea. "She's hissing something" Jughead said. "Of corse she is. You dumped her. She's not going tell you everything about her life in one little speech" Sweat Pea said. Jughead knee Sweat Pea was right. But he didn't say anythibg after that. He just watched Betty in the corner of his eye as she puffed away at her cigarette.
After school Jughead went to the white wyrm where he now lived. He and Toni went up to his apartment. "Toni, I gotta tell you something" He said. "What is it Juggie" she asked as she moved closer to him. "Okay here goes, listen I really like you, and I will always care about you but" Jughead began. "But what?" Toni questioned. "But I just can't see our romantic realationship going any further" He finished. "I see, and would a certain blonde beauty have anything to do with this sudden break up?" Toni felt like that was the reason. It was one, Jughead didn't tell her that though. "No no, Toni, I've just been meaning to do this, before Betty transferred to Southside High" Jughead said. Toni just stormed off. She ran out of the bar with tears down her face.
Jughead came downstairs to Sweat Pea, Fangs and Joaquin. "What happened?" Fangs asked. "Me and Toni are over" Jughead said. "Oh, why?" said Sweat Pea. "Just wasn't feelin' it anymore" Jughead said. "So who's up for doubles in pool?" Jughead said, trying not to be anymore questions. "Okay, me and Fangs against you and Joaquin" Sweat Pea said.
Betty was working at the garage. She was fixing up a car when a girl with pink hair and a messed up bike came in. "Hey I need you to fix my bike" Toni said. "Right, leave it over there I'll get to it later. Leave your name and number on the book over there" Betty said as she didn't look up to see who it was. Toni looked over to see who was behind the bonet if the car. "Oh it you" Toni said. "Hey Toni" Betty said. "You okay?" Betty asked unsure what to say. She seen the smeared mascara down her face.
"Jughead broke up with me" Toni said. "Oh" Betty said. "Yeah, don't pretend your not happy about it" Toni said. "I know you miss him" "Toni, I don't know what your talking about. Me and Jughead have been over for over a year" Betty said. "Oh okay, bye Betty" Toni said. "Bye Toni" Toni left her number before she left. Betty countined to fix the car she was on. Then she realised that Toni's bike wouldn't take long. She started fixing up the wheels and engine and that was all it really needed.
She decide she would call Toni tomorrow and tell her it was ready because she just left. Betty went home at 8.30 to her trailer. She seen Veroinca standing outside waiting for her. Veroinca has cut all ties with Betty after she moved to the Southside. "What do you want Veroinca" Betty said. "Just checking up on you" Veroinca said. "If I wanted a check up I would go to the doctors" Betty said coldly. "So what do you want Veroinca?" "Have you ever heard of the Southside serpents" Veroinca asked. "I'm in a school full of them, a lot of them are my unfriendly neighbours" Betty said. Veroinca took a step forward. "Do you think you could stop them of sabotaging my fathers plans?" "No" Veroinca was disappointed. "Why not" Veroinca asked. "Because, they won't listen" Betty said. Betty opened her door. "Bye Veroinca" And she slammed it in her face.
Betty watched tv and ate ice cream after that. She normally cried every night. Tonight she didn't. She finally had the upper hand on Veroinca Lodge. She said 'no' instead of being her hand puppet. She finally felt a little good about herself for the first time in awhile.
Betty had a nice warm shower. She did admit to herself, only herself, that she was quite happy that Toni and Jughead broke up. Betty went to sleep after she dried her hair.
