It was fourth hour, time for Jughead to skip class so she could talk to Betty. Jughead raced out of his third-hour class and went looking for the Newsroom, the four minutes in between classes wasn't long enough, it took him eight minutes to find the tiny room on the other side of the school. He slowly walked in, there she was sitting at the table nose in a book, rose gold computer sitting open waiting to be typed on. Of course her computer was rose gold, it makes sense since her entire aesthetic is pink.
She still hasn't noticed him yet, so he begins to speak, "I didn't know Blondy liked to write." Her head flung up immediately making eye contact. "If you're here because of last night, I'm sorry, I wouldn't have hit you if I knew you were a Serpent." Jughead shook his head in confusion, "What? Are you serious you're that afraid of snakes?" He said while pulling out a chair and sitting down. "Aren't you guys known for hurting Northsiders-especially girls." Betty said hesitantly moving back. Jughead shook his head once again "What?" Betty pushed in the chair and closed her computer. "I don't know I've just heard it around." Jughead rolled his eyes and smirked once again.
"What is it with you and your smirk?" Betty accidentally said out loud. Jughead got up walked forward with his hands on his hips, "What, do you like looking at it?" He said with a grin. "You know what, since you know literally nothing about us, why don't we go to Pop's after school and just hang."
Jughead said trying not to smile any bigger than he already was. "Even if I wanted to go I can't, my Mom would literally kill me if I don't go straight home." "Your eyes widen when you lie." Jughead said blatantly and out of the blue, "What no they don't." Betty tried to prove him wrong. "You did it again, so why don't we go hang out at Pop's after school." Betty blushed knowing he could see her cheeks getting redder she became more embarrassed than she already was. "No, we can walk to my place after school, we'll take a different route so no one sees me with you." Jughead smirked excitedly, god he was sexy, she looked him up and down and she saw a long cut that started on his wrist and went into his sleeve. Then she quickly looked back up and said, "I'm only bringing you to my house because I see the cut that starts on your wrist, it looks fresh and needs attention." Jughead grabbed his wrist, shook his head and smirked, then he left the classroom.
Jughead was just leaving his locker when someone grabbed his shoulder, "Hey follow me." He looked over, there she was the beautiful blonde. Betty pulled him over to the Newsroom once again and they went out the exit. "Why are you fixing up my cut anyway, it's not like you care." Jughead said eyeing Betty actually confused on why she would help him. "I took medical lessons when my sister had her kids, just in case something happens." She was looking at the ground, Jughead could tell she was still hesitant. They awkwardly sat in silence until they got to Betty's house
Betty pointed to the stairs, "Second room on the left" She threw her bag on the table and she went to the kitchen, while Jughead went up the stairs, "You know I'm not a dog you know." "Then why do you smell like one?" Betty yelled from the kitchen. Jughead looked around, it looked like a basic white rich family's home. A picture of the family and each one of the kids on the wall plus two babies. He stood up to go look at the picture of the babies, as he was looking Betty came up the stairs with a bunch of medical supplies. "That's my niece and nephew if you're wondering. Now go to my room I'll fix your hand." Betty said walking into her room. Jughead slowly walked down the hallway, he heard noise coming from one room so he knocked on the door that was open a sliver. "Come in." He pushed the door open and was hit by a wave of pink, it was everywhere, this was definitely her bedroom.
"You might want to take off your jacket so I have a better view of your arm. Jughead sighed and took off his jacket, Betty could see the cut went all the way up his arm. Jughead sat on the bed and Betty said in awe, "What did you do?" She said grabbing gauze and antibiotic cream. She saw a glimpse of her own scars on her wrists, she hoped she didn't see them. "Its nothing I just got in a fight." he said making eye contact, her heart instantly stopping, "Why do you think we hurt mostly females?" He said out of the blue "I don't know like I said I've just heard around.
After she fixed up his arm they ordered Pop's and watched The Outsiders, in Betty's Bedroom. They talked for hours and eventually fell asleep. Betty woke up first, his arms were wrapped around her, she liked it but was still a little on edge. She shifted he body and that woke him up. They sat up in unison, "Hey-uh." Jughead said a smirk appearing on his face. "We should get ready for school." She said making a quick look at her alarm. 6:45, she needed to leave in 20 minutes. Jughead rolled to the other side of the bed and stretched, "You might need to get ready but I'm wearing the same clothes." He said with a drowsy voice. She laughed and got out of her bed to start to get ready for the day.
She came out of her bathroom in her pink blouse, dark jeans, and hair still long and bouncing at the sides of her head. She sat at her vanity and pulled her hair together into her iconic ponytail. She grabbed her foundation and put some on her hand, "You look beautiful without makeup, don't wear any today." She whipped her head around to see the brunette sitting on the edge of the bed tying his old crusty black converse. She wiped away the foundation on her hand and threw the makeup wipe in the trash. "I'm still wearing mascara, eyeliner, and lip gloss." She said with an attitude. "Okay, I don't even know what those are." She giggled a little.
Once they were both ready to leave the house after a quick breakfast, they hopped into her car. Then she realized, What will people think when drives to school with a Southside Serpent.
