One week after Betty's strange speech Jug was still confused. He wanted Betty to accept that he is a Serpent now, he wanted her to accept that he is now at South Side high but one the other hand he still wants her to see only the positive things in him and see him as a person he will never be in real-life. He hasn't answered her calls or replied to the countless messages and snaps. He was so confused and overchallanged by the situation. Was it a good idea to change school? He moved in his dad's trailer and he felt lonelier than ever before. His dad still in prison, his friends at school living their normal life and he here. Alone. As a Serpent. Was that what he wanted? Being a criminal and belonging to the most feared group in Riverdale? Actually not. But that is what he is, he had no other choice, that was at least what his mind trying to tell him. Suddenly he heard someone knocking on the door, knocking was the wrong word someone hit the door and there were only two people he could imagine doing that. With a tired look on his face he opened the door. He immediately changed his facial expression when he saw god damn Veronica Lodge in front of his door. "We need to talk", she said in an angry tone and went into the trailer. She sat down on the coach. "How do you think you are Jughead Jones? What is wrong with you? Out of sight out of mind? Betty is wasted and that is your fault!", she screamed at him. "Wa…sted?", he asked as carefully as possible to reduce her anger. "Yes wasted! She wears her hair messy, she is not on time and she isn't concentrated at all. She is NOT Betty Cooper. Her parents, teachers, Polly, Archie me even Cheryl asked if something is wrong with her. You see my point? Fu**ing Cheryl Blossom is more worried about her than you are Jughead, you broke her hard!", Veronica said and it the last point she stood up and screamed at him. "You hurt them so much. Archie and Betty are so heartbroken", she said and also her voice had a sad undertone. "I don't know what to say, honestly the way you talked about Betty, I try not to cry. But Betty said weird things like she would change for me and show me her devious side…", he started to explain but Ronnie interrupted him: "Hell what? Betty's devious side. Oh no the Chuck story again. She was crazy that day yes, really crazy but that was not here. She was so mad at Jason and mad because of Polly…" Veronica started to understand why Jughead ignored Betty, he did not want to ignore her on purpose like always he just wanted to protect her. She felt guilty from screaming on the black-haired boy. What Jug did was not right, she should not ignore Betty but what Betty has told him confused her even more. She needed to bring the two of them together.

The next day Veronica arranged a meeting. She told her best friends they would meet up at the Sweetwater river for a nice girls picnic, mainly to distract her from her emotional pain. The same time she told Jug to come there because she needed someone to talk about Archie. This time, again on time, Betty waited at 4 pm at the riverside. The had a picnic camper full of food, drinks and a blanket for the two of them. She sat down on the blanket and waited. After 10 minutes she checked her phone, Ronnie was always late but normally she would contact her. She suddenly heard a sound from the wood. She could not believe who she saw. That beautiful black her always covered with a beanie sneaked threw. "Oh Veronica", he said with an immense touch of sarcasm his voice. Betty was not able to say something. He doesn't want to see her, he expected Ronnie as well as she did. Her eyes filled with tears. Again. In the last few days she spent so many hours crying and wondering why Jughead is doing that to her. Why he is treating her like that. Jughead noticed and went on: " Betts, let me explain! It is not that I don't want to see you or I don't like you anymore. Actually... I love you so freaking much Betty! It is just better for the two of us to stay apart from each other" That was enough for Betty Cooper. She threw her body against his and stared to kiss him with all the passion and desire that filled up her body for the past weeks. She missed him so much and she needed him more than ever before. What could Juggy do now? He kissed her back. He was so in love with the beautiful blond girl. It took a while till they were able to separate their bodies. "I understand you Jughead. I really do. I spent hours on wondering why you do this to me, I am not a 100 percent sure but you are trying to keep me save. But…I don't want to be save, I want to be with you more than anything else. We are going to figure this out. We are so different and the same. I miss school with you so much, I miss talking to you I miss your company when I write for the Blue and Gold. I need you Jughead Jones"; she said while looking in his beautiful blue eyes. "And I need you Betty Cooper, I am a Serpent now. I am a student of the South Side High, they don't except the perfect, rich girl. I want to be with you, believe me but if we stay together we have keep it a secret. I love you and I want to whole world to know but this is about more than just the two of us. This is about the rivalry about the two sides of Riverdale", he said and he did not know if he regrated or if he should feel released of finally telling her the truth.
