Chapter 12

"Football players behaving badly, what else is new? Steubenville, Glen Ridge. The coach's son being the ringleader. I mean, just how depraved is this town?" Veronica says.

"Color me impressed," someone says behind us. We all gasp in fear and turn around. It was Satan herself. "A B and E with B and V. What would your holy roller mother say about this, Betty?"

" What are you doing here, Cheryl?"

"And where did you get those thigh-high boots? They're amazing." Kevin says.

"Kinda hookerish tho," I whisper to him.

"Trev told Valerie, who told Josie, who told Ginger, who told Tina, who told me. And I thought I would help out," She says.

"Help? Or derail our investigation?" Betty asks.

"Get over yourself, Betty,"

"You know what Cheryl I am getting tired of your bitchy high-strung attitude," I say.

"And listen here Charity case, you really want a repeat of seventh grade because I am not afraid to get my hands dirty," She says.

"Fuck you," I say.

"Hey guys, get in here," Ethel says. "Trev was right. They didn't even bother to hide it."

"New girl? Is that what I'm reduced to? - Nine points?" Veronica says.

 "Better than 'Big girl' 7.5," Ethel says. My eyes scan the page. Lists of names of girls I grew up with.

"Polly's in this book," Betty says.

"Next to Jason's name," Cheryl says causing Betty to turn away. I walk towards her and put my hand on her shoulder.

"I'm so sorry, Betty," Veronica says.

"This isn't- Jason would never," Cheryl says weakly.

"-It's right there, Cheryl! God. Your brother hurt my sister. This is what guys like Jason and Chuck think about women. We're objects for them to abuse. And when they're done with us, they shame us into silence. They have zero remorse for the lives they destroy," Betty snaps.

"Maybe I don't know Jason," Cheryl says.

"I'll take a picture. We'll show it to Weatherbee. It'll be the perfect cover for your expose, Betty," Veronica says

."Yeah, but No. These girls deserve justice, don't you think, Cheryl?" Betty says, "You want vengeance? You wanna go full dark, no stars, Veronica? I'm with you. And I have a plan."

"I wanna help," I say.

"Alright all of us," Betty says.

"That dick is gonna pay," I say.

"You were out late," Jug says as I throw my stuff down. I sit down beside him.

"I was with Betty and Veronica," I say. He sits his laptop down on the coffee table and raises his arms and I lay down and sit my head in his lap. And he moves his arms down. 

"Veronica okay?" He asks.

"Kinda," I say, "we are planning revenge."

"Can you tell me what?" He asks.

"Can you tell me what Archie is doing?" I say.

"No," He says.

"Then you have your answer," I say.

"You are so difficult," He says.

"I know," I say, "but you love me."

"I do," He says.
