Prompt #111 (Word) Locker
"Hey!" Archie yelped as his back hit the locker hard. "What's the big idea." He demanded as he pushed his chest forward. His eyes widen "Veronica!" He noticed blonde hair in a tight pony tail right behind Veronica's shoulder; "Betty!" He yelped. He felt his towel start to drop and he quckily caught it before it could drop. "What are you girls doing in here? This is the boys lockerroom after all."
"Get out of my way Archie!" Veronica's hard voice reached his ears.
"Look you girls can't be in here." Archie tried to put his left hand on Veronica's shoulder; but with one fiery look from her he held it up in surrender. "Come on Veronica; I need you to get Betty out of here okay." He pleaded with the hot headed angry Veronica in front of him. Trying to reason with her.
Veronica's body stiffened. She backed away until her hand could reach out and touch Betty. She quickly pulled the blonde tightly against her back. "Archie one question."
Archie nodded his head.
"Are you part of the sticky mapel that's going on with the football team?" Veronica demanded in a hard voice.
"No!" Archie spoke up. "Never." He kept his hand still in the air; and his right hand holding the towel. "I don't defend …."
Veronica voice spoke up in the silence; "Then help get Chuck and his gang off the football team!"
Archie swallowed.
Veronica stiffened.
Archie met Betty's shocked and worried green blue eyes. "I'm sorry Betty." He managed to get out. "I'll help you guys get justice." He spoke in a calm and hard voice. "I'll meet you at Pop's later okay." He pleaded for them to leave the lockerroom.
Veroncia nodded. She eyed all the football team as she backed Betty towards the door; lucky for them a member of the JV team held it open for them.
