Betty
Wednesday
Jughead ate with the Serpents that day,he didn't talk to me,or even looked at me,he didn't see me.

That was strange.

At 3pm I started walking home,alone,when I heard someone running after me.

"Hey Betts."Archie said smiling and I just waved at him.

"How are you?"He asked.

"Fine"I said.

"Hey I'm sorry Okay?"He said and I just kept walking. "Betty,we're sorry,we've been stupid."

"Thanks"I mumbled.

"You know,Jughead's birthday is on Thursday."He said and my eyes widened.

"What?!"I asked. "Why didn't he tell me?"

"He doesn't like to celebrate it."He said.

"Oh God."I said. "I need to prepare a surprise party for Thursday,I'll tell Kevin an-"He cut me off grabbing my wrist and stopping me.

"I don't think that's a good idea."He said.

"He will!"I said. "I can tell him we're going on a date and when we get to my house everyone is already there."

"Betts..."He said.

"Come on Archie!"I said.

He sighed. "Okay"

-

I called Veronica and she came home.

We planned it all,we invited Kevin,Archie,Toni unfortunately and some other serpents.

"Okay."She said as she sent the last text. "It's all ready."

"Thanks V."I said hugging her.

"Anything for you girl."She smiled.

-

When she left I walked up to my room.

Dad and Mom were fighting a lot lately,but I was getting used to it.

Dad almost every day slept at his office.

But they both went to see Polly to Chicago,so I had two days to myself.

I laid on my bed and saw it was raining outside and thundering.

I always had a big fear to storms.

I closed my curtains and opened my laptop to keep working on all the Black Hood thing.

He had been in the forest,Southside High,Greendale High,in my house and about to go to Riverdale High.

"Pain demands to be felt."I whispered reading the quote I took a photo to. "All the sinners must die."

He wanted to kill all the sinners.And we needed to stop him.

Suddenly I heard a noise from downstairs,what the heck?

I slowly stood up and heard another noise.

"Hello?"I asked walking out of my room.

Another crack from downstairs.

"Hello?"I asked again scared.

I walked downstairs and saw everything was alright.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door making me jump.

I walked to the door and slowly opened it to see my beanie boy completely wet.

"Jug."I sighed in relief.

"Hey."He said as I told him to walk in.

"What happened?"I asked.

"Nothing really,um these guys are just trying to negotiate with us."He said. "It was getting late and I wanted to check if you were okay."

"I am."I said.

"Where are your parents?"He asked.

"Oh they're in Chicago."I said.

He nodded taking his leather jacket off.

"And what are you doing?"He asked as we both walked upstairs.

"What do you think?"I asked when we walked in my room.

I felt a little bit offended because he didn't tell me when his birthday was.

"You found something new?"He asked and I shook my head no.

"Hey um,Jug."I said as he sat down on my bed looking at my laptop.

"Mmh?"He asked.

"Can we go tomorrow to watch a movie at the bijou?"I asked.

"Y-Yeah."He said confused.

"Okay."I said.

His phone buzzed and he read the message he just got.

"Okay,I need to go."He said walking towards my door.

"Jug."I said as he stopped and looked at me.

"Why didn't you tell me your birthday is tomorrow?"I asked.

He sighed and sat next to me.

"I really don't like to tell people,I don't like being the center of attention"He said and I nodded looking to the floor.

He held both of my hands and squeezed them. "But I will go with you to the Bijou."

I half smiled. "Okay."

"Okay."He smiled and hugged me.
