"Jughead!"

That was the first name that Luna had called out once she had gotten out of that damned classroom.

The owner of the name spun around quickly.

"Wait," Luna stopped short in front of him, furrowing her brows. "why aren't you in class?"

"I'm ahead in all of them anyways, and I've done all the homework, follow me," Jughead casually walked away and Luna in her place.

She stuttered, still quite confused but shrugged, classic Jughead.

She jogged to catch up to him as he walked out the school.

"You know, I'm not ahead in any of my classes right? In fact, I'm quite behind," Luna told him as they walked.

"Would you like to go back?" Jughead asked.

"Hell no," Luna smiled up at him, Jughead still looking forward, but Luna could have sworn she saw his pupils darted to the corner of his eyes for half a second.

Little did Luna know, he did look at her, and he thought she didn't notice the smile tugging at his lips.

But in fact, she did notice, and that alone made her grow warm inside.

"But, um," Jughead cleared his throat, gaining his typical solemn look again. "you didn't know about this?"

"No!" Luna yelled quite loudly, and Jughead quickly told her to quiet down. "okay, okay, sorry."

Luna apologized quickly, gritting her teeth.

"But, no! I didn't! I actually find it quite disturbing. How could a grown woman do something like that?" 

Jughead turned around, "The question is, why exactly Archie is going through with this. He's a grown ass dude. He should be able to know that this is, is, wrong."

Luna looked down, mouth slightly agape, she didn't have words, but somehow she seemed to have a major dose of deja vu flowing through her.

Jughead raised an eyebrow and touched Luna's shoulder, as it was quite weird how she was just standing there, like she was frozen.

Luna jumped a little, "Sorry, I zoned out."

"What were you thinking about?" Jughead asked, both intrigued to know what was going on and sacred at the same time.

What would she be thinking about so much that could make her zone out like that?

Completely freeze?

"It's, uh, it," Luna stuttered for a while, trying to find the right words to explain herself to the black haired boy in front of her."

"What?" Jughead asked, eyes widening in annoyance. 

"It's nothing," Luna shrugged.

Jughead looked at her, eyes full of suspicion and caution.

However, he kept walking with her until they reached the house they had spent they day outside of the last time they had really seen each other.

"Is this your house?" Luna asked, scrunching her brows together. "I've seen you step inside here."

"No, actually," Jughead said, his face serious as he sat down.

"Where is it?" Luna asked. "any why are we here?"

Luna was just full of questions today.

"We're here, to figure out what to do next, and talk to Archie. And my house is somewhere, but I refuse to tell you where exactly it is."

Luna was not aware of the fact that Jughead lived in the drive-in.

But, no one was.

Luna started thinking, "Maybe we should confront Archie?"

Jughead nodded slowly, "Maybe...but I was going to-"

Luna phone started buzzing, and she pulled it out, the screen showing the caller I.D.

It was Betty.

Luna held up her finger, signaling for Jughead to hold on and he nodded, indicating his understanding of her motion.

Luna stepped down the stairs, swiping the image with the phone across the screen and bringing the phone to her ear.

"Hello?" 

"Luna, get your butt over here right now!" Betty said, quite frantically, into the phone.

"Um, well, I'm with-"

"No excuses! Get over!"

"Get over where?" Luna furrowed her brows, she seemed to be doing that a lot today.

It seemed today was just full of confusing things.

"Your house! I'm with Veronica, she showed me, I'm sorry, but come over!" Betty blurted out before hanging up the phone.

Luna looked at Jughead, mouthing an 'i'm sorry' and explaining the situation.

"Hey, maybe she knows too," Jughead joked.

Little did he know that his prediction was actually quite accurate.

And little did Luna know, she was privy to information about Miss Grundy that would be very eye-opening.

And as Luna made her way to her own home, she had no idea what was in store for her.

She had also completely forgotten about Cheryl.

But we'll talk about that again later.

As soon as Luna set foot on the premises, Betty had bombarded her, Veronica trailing behind slowly, giggling.

"Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! I have big news to tell you!" Betty hugged Luna, in the process nearly suffocating her.

"Okay, okay, I'm gonna need you to stop trying to kill me. You can't tell me what you found out if I'm dead," Luna managed to squeeze out, laughing a bit.

"Oh, oh," Betty let go of Luna, casually swiping her hands against the fabric of her jeans. "but let's go! Come on!"

Something about Betty's major anxiety about telling Luna seemed to intrigue her even more, and Luna was definitely interested in the information Betty had to share.

But Luna also remembered she was talking about Betty Cooper, the purest of the pure, the good-est of the good.

Luna was pretty sure half the words she were thinking of, were not words.

But the point was, Luna thought that whatever Betty had to tell her, was in fact not as juicy as she made it seem.

"So," Betty began. "Miss Grundy may be involved with Archie."

Veronica seemed genuinely shocked and Betty was biting her nails.

Luna, however, threw her head back in a fit of laughter.

"What the hell?" Veronica raised her eyebrows, confused and scared by your behavior.

"No, no," Luna wiped her eyes and finally sighed once she calmed down. "I knew this already."

"And you didn't tell us?!" Betty exclaimed, jumping up with her mouth agape.

"No, I just found out like less than an hour ago – wait, how did you find out?" 

Betty sighed, "Well I found out that Archie and Miss Grundy were together on July 4th-"

"So why does that mean they're, involved?" Veronica asked, scrunching up her nose with the last word.

"Well, for one," Luna chimed in. "they were kissing."

Veronica was next to jump up, "What?! When did this happen?!"

"Again, like less than an hour ago," Luna told them calmly and quite normally. "pretty heated too, definitely some tongue in-"

"Okay, okay!" Veronica put her hands up, sitting down.

"Yeah, TMI, Lune," Betty made a face and sat down, like Veronica.

"Lune?" Luna's hard fluttered at the nickname.

"Yeah," Veronica shrugged. "I'm Ronnie, Kevin is Kev-"

"I'm B, Archie is Archie-kins, so you needed a nickname," Betty said normally.

"So you thought Lune was a good nickname?" Luna asked, not meaning that she thought it was bad.

"Do you not like it?" Veronica asked.

"Yeah, we can change it if you want us too, but you need a nickname," Betty nodded.

"No! I like it, I like it, I just feel weird being like – I don't know part of a group. I didn't expect to make friends so soon here," Luna fingered the crescent moon pendant on the necklace around her neck.

They sat in silence for quite a while, until Betty got up again.

"Okay! Well, what are we going to do?" Betty asked.

Veronica raised her hand, "Hey, I say we do some research."

"Research? About Grundy?" Luna asked.

"Yes! Research!" Betty said.

And at that they started their work for the next few hours, finding some eye-opening information on Miss Grundy.

Or rather is was the lack of information that made them really question Miss Grundy and her credibility. 

And as they were doing their research, Luna's eyes widened.

"What time is it?!" Luna yelled suddenly, slamming a hand down on the couch beside her and pushing herself up, gripping her phone in her hand.

"5:00, why?"

"Shit!" Luna cursed.

She had most definitely, forgot about Cheryl.

And Cheryl was most definitely, pissed as all hell.
