Lucky// Jughead x Reader (book one in Lucky Series)

Chapter 27

   (So like just imagine that is you behind Jug)

"Psst hand me some," Jug says turning back to me and I pull out a bag of chips from my stash. I roll my eyes and hand him that bag and grab myself one. "Thanks."

  "You're welcome," I say quietly. As the person finishes talking and sits down I rip open the bag.

 "Does anyone else want to read anything?" Our English teacher asks, "Ethel come on up." Ethel moves from her seat to the front of the classroom and opens a little black book. She takes a deep breath and starts to read.

 "They put me in a wooden box as I desperately opposed. But all my screaming was for naught. My mouth had been sewn closed. Curled up in bed was just a girl. Needing Daddy's arms to hold her," Her voice was quiet and shaky.

"Wow," I mumble.

"Thank you for sharing Ethel that was very good," The teacher says, "now tomorrow I want some new faces sharing!" The bell cuts her off and I jump up grabbing my stuff.

"Why the rush?" Jug asks.

"I hate English," I say, "I hate being told what to write or read."

"You are going to have to get over it eventually," He says.

"Well not today," I say.

"Oh you are so stubborn," He says taking my hand.

"I am," I say, "but you are to so don't act all high and mighty."

"But it is a pretty great program," Archie says as I lift a spoon full of yogurt into my mouth.

"Just in time, we're celebrating," V says as Betty and Jughead join us. Betty took a seat in the only empty chair left. I get up and move to the arm of my chair and Jug sits down there.

  "Archie was just telling us how he's going to some super-exclusive music program this summer," Kev says.

  "Maybe. If it happens, though, it would be huge for me," Archie says.

   "Do you have to audition for it?" Jug asks.

   "Well, not exactly. Mrs. Blossom came by earlier and said she'd put a good word in for me," Archie says. 

 "Amazing," Kev says.

 "Terrifying," V says.

  "Uh-huh. What's she getting out of it?" Jug asks. 

 "I told her I'd take Cheryl to their family's tree-tapping thing," Archie says, "I already talked to Valerie, and she's cool with it."

 "Cool with you being a gigolo now?" Jug asks.

 "I'm doing someone a favor for my music, Jughead," Archie says, "I need to make connections outside of Riverdale."

  "That's the way of the world. It's all about connections. But Jughead's right. These kinds of favors always come with a price tag," V says, "Betty, back me up here."

"I think it's a great idea,"  Betty says.

"Thank you, Betty," Archie says.

 "Yeah, and while you're there, would you talk to Polly for me? I just want to make sure she's okay," Betty asks.

 "Definitely," He says.

  "Thank you," Betty says. 

 "Archie this isn't a good idea," I say.

  "And don't worry, Y/n, Ronnie, I can take care of myself," He says.

  "Famous last words, Archiekins," V says.
