"Hey April" I heard a voice say from behind me as I was grabbing a text book out of my locker. I turned around to find Jughead Jones, an old friend who pretty much disappeared off the face of the earth all summer. "Jug, what's up?" I smiled. "I just wanted to know if you were interested in joining the school newspaper?" he asked, "Jug, you know that's not really my thing, Betty however loves that kind of stuff, are you going to the semi formal?" I asked him, "No way, that's a bunch of bullshit, people pretending they actually talk to each other for a night, even if I had someone I still wouldn't go" Jug laughed. "Right." I said looking at him confused. "Kenedy" I heard a piercing annoying voice say behind me, Wow I know which annoying redhead this is going to be. "I got to go April" Jughead said not being able to get out of there any quicker. "Cheryl" I snapped looking at her up and down. "Are you on my squad this year?" she spat at me crossing her arms, "What?" I asked frowning, "The vixens? Or do I have to find a prettier, taller, skinnier version of you… maybe… Veronica" she laughed with her other two minions, who after years of knowing still haven't bothered to remember their names. "Cheryl of course I'll be on your squad, dont think you can kick me out that easily" I snaped. "April, chill I'm just teasing you" she laughed with her minions. "Right, well I'm sorry about Jason" I said putting my hand on Cheryls shoulder "I know how close you both were" "Its alright, the police are still looking we have hope we will find him"
Days passed and I still hadn't said anything to Archie or Betty about what had gone on, I focussed on myself, school, homework whatever I could do to get Archie and the Jason situation off my mind. Until the night of the dance
