Chapter 17 ✔︎
Y/N PoV
I wake up to the sound of my phone ringing. Its Monday. The tragic most depressing days known to man. I grab my phone answering it, "What do you want?" I sit up.
"Oh did I wake you up?" Jughead asks.
"Yes...what's going on Jug? It's too early." I flop back curling up in my blankets.
"Alice Cooper ran Miss. Grundy out of town on Friday night." Jughead informs me.
"How's Archie doing?"
"He is definitely sad and might need some advice from his sorta sister. But Archie will get over it soon."
"Do you want to walk to school together? I can be ready in 30 minutes." I jump off my bed and walk over to my bathroom.
"I can't this morning," he sighs, "but Betty told me to meet me in the Blue and Gold. It's about our investigation. Do you wanna come with?"
"Sure." I look at the clock, "I'll see you at school in 20."
"Ok see ya." Jughead hangs up leaving me to get ready for the day.
^The Outfit^
I put on light makeup and put my hair up into a messy bun. For breakfast I grabbed an apple. I walk to school in complete silence with the occasional car driving down the street.
When I get to the Blue and Gold Jughead and Betty are staring at their murder board. Kevin on the other hand is watching them. "This looks fun." I join the staring.
Jughead shrugs and wraps his arm around my waist. "We are working on it "
Kevin gives me a huge smile. Anybody could tell he is thrilled about our new relationship. Betty on the other hand looks jealous.
Why should Betty be jealous, she is my friend. She would not break girl code, right?
Betty looks down at Jug's arm around my waist. She rolls her eyes adding to my suspicion. My boyfriend doesn't notice her jealously.
I swear if this bitch likes my boyfriend we might have a problem later. "I'll explain later." I mouth to them.
Kevin pins something onto the board, "This is how my dad had his murder board before it got trashed."
"Any leads on who did it or what they were looking for?"
"No...no fingerprints. They stole a bunch of files, background checks, and all the videos and audio tapes of the police interviews." Kevin tells us.
Trever walks in breaking our focus on the board, "Hey Betty." he waves at us.
Betty gives him a warm smile, "Trev hi!"
"Sorry to interrupt..." Trever says while gesturing over to the board.
"Oh no! We just uh working on..." Betty looks back and forth between Trevor and our board full of crazy.
Jughead speaks up, "Our murder board."
Trev looks at us like we are all insane. He doesn't say anything for a second. He purses his lips trying to take in the information.
Betty bites her lip nervously and nods.
"I just wanted to make sure we are still on for tomorrow?" He asks.
Betty nods and smiles, "Absolutely! It's a date. I mean...I'll see you there."
Kevin and I look at her confused. She just got over Archie and is now going on a date? Not to mention the jealousy radiating off of her.
Trev starts to walk out surprised, "Ok...bye." He gives us all a quick wave again.
"Bye."
"Your going on a date with Trev. Does momma Cooper know about that?" Kevin questions.
Betty furrows her eyebrows, "Kev I'm not on house arrest....ok so maybe she is out of town at a spa retreat." She shakes her head, "Anyways it's not a date date."
Jughead looks over at her, "You just called it a date...you literally said it's a date."
I bite my lip. Now there seems to be something going on with Jughead. This makes me worried.
Betty shakes her head, "It's just my cover. Really it's a intelligence gathering session. We should focus on the one thing we have access to that your dad doesn't. The kids at Riverdale High. You know Trev knew something about Jason that we don't."
"Yeah this might work." I shrug and lay my head on Jughead's shoulder.
We stare at the murder board for a while. There were no breakthroughs so we go to class.
**Time Skip**
"Betty your positivity radiating into sparks. Tell me everything about this Trev." Veronica demands.
"There's nothing to tell. Just another one of Betty's sources. Nothing romantic in the offing." Kevin frowns.
We all sit down next to Archie on the bleachers. Veronica shakes her head, "Why is everything weird here? Why can't a date just be a date? What about you Archie? How's life in the PG world?"
Archie looks up at her confused. I'm confused as well. What do these abbreviations even mean because she uses them way too much.
Veronica eats a fry, "PG? Post Grundy...what to soon?"
"Coach Clayton says I have a shot about being Varsity Captain so I'm not thinking about anything else right now."
Veronica sighs, "And your back to being boring."
"Are you maybe, throwing your into football as a way to avoid your feelings?" Betty puts her hands on Archie's.
Archie shakes his head annoyed at her for thinking that, "I'm not avoiding anything Betty. I'm trying to get my life back on track."
Valerie enters our conversation, "I can help with that. I know Miss.Grundy was tutoring you."
"Understatement of the year." Veronica whispers to Betty.
I hear her remark and chuckle quietly. I know Archie doesn't want anybody to know besides us it's impossible. Especially with our sarcastic humor.
"But there's this amazing songwriter from New York who's an adjunct at Carson College. Incredible mentor. He does some coaching on the side and I told him about you. You wanna meet him?" Valerie gives him a big smile. She is crushing on him without a doubt.
Archie looks sceptical with this fancy college coach person, "Yeah, yeah I'd love to but football..."
Betty interjects, "No, Archie can! And he will."
"Call him if you want but do it soon. His spots fill up fast." Valerie slips a paper containing his contact info into Archie's coat pocket.
"Thank you Val." Archie smiles.
Valerie gives us a small smirk and leaves. Arch is giving me the same crush vibe as Val.
"Hey, now you have no excuse for avoiding music." Betty raises her eyebrows.
Cheryl interrupts our peaceful conversation, "Sorry to interrupt, Sad Breakfast Club, but I'm here to formally invite you to Jason's memorial at Thornhill this weekend." She hands us invited. Cheryl cautiously gives Veronica one, "To my surprise and chagrin, mother added you to the guest-list. In case your tempted to steal our silver candlesticks, don't. We'll be searching bags. That goes for you too Y/N the orphan." Cheryl stomps away with anger in her eyes.
Betty tries to lighten the mood, "Hey try to remember she is burying her brother."
Veronica purses her lips and fiddles with the invitation in her hands.
No one says anything. Betty didn't help the mood at all so I take a stab at it, "We really are the Sad Breakfast Club...aren't we?"
Everybody laughs. "Well looks like a couple of our club members are getting a bit friendly? Don't you think?" Kevin smiles and points to Jughead's and mine intertwined hand.
I look over at Jughead to confirm his readiness to go official. He gives me a small nod.
"So maybe some of the members aren't really friends anymore?"
"Finally..." Kevin mutters.
Then for the 2nd time today I see Betty's envy. She really needs to get over the fact that Jug is mine. Betty wouldn't try and steal him as my best friend so maybe she just wants a relationship? I'm not sure at this point.
This day has been sucky but a small bit better with Juggie here with me.
