Polly went with the Blossom's a shock to everyone.
You were eating pancakes and looking at the news paper sipping your orange juice and turning the page of the newspaper.
"The lawyers are coming over this week to take our statements for your Dad's hearing. We are all going to have to testify on your father's behalf. " Mom said.
"What if they ask about what he did?" Veronica asked nervous.
"With the money correct?" You asked.
"Yes. Am I going to have to lie?" Veronica asked.
"Well um we might have to shade the truth." Mom sighed.
"Mom are you okay?" You asked concerned.
"Baby I have just made a mess of things. Your father found out about Fred and me." Mom said.
"Someone went to him before I had a chance to say anything." Mom said.
"Oh my God Dad knows?!" Veronica exclaimed.
"Yes. On top of that the Blossom's are still after the land and Fred still doesn't know that we own it." Mom said.
"Maybe it's time you tell Mr Andrews. The truth." Veronica said.
"That will risk everything." You said.
"And we bet everything on this construction." You said flipping the paper.
"This is a small gossipy town. You need to tell Fred about the land before someone else does." Veronica said.
You rolled your eyes and put down the paper.
"I'm going to school." You announced and walked out.
You were at school with Jughead.
"How are you?" He asked.
"I don't even know. Just drama after drama." You sighed.
Jughead wrapped his arm around you.
"It will get better." Jughead whispered.
"Maybe." You sighed.
"I'm going to the student lounge coming?" Jughead asked.
"Sure." You smiled.
You made it to the student lounge and everyone was there.
"Mrs Blossom came by and said she will put in a good word for me." Archie said.
"For a music camp?" You questioned.
"Yeah it's really fancy." Archie smiled.
"Amazing. Terrifying." Kevin and Veronica said in unison.
"What's she getting out of it?" Jughead asked.
"I told her I would take Cheryl to her family's tree tapping. I already talked to Valerie and she's cool with it." Archie said.
"Cool with you taking someone else now?" Jughead asked.
"I'm doing someone a favor Jughead. I need to make connections outside of Riverdale." Archie said.
"That's the way of the world it's all about connections." Veronica said.
"But Jughead is right these types of favors always come with a price tag." Veronica said.
"Betty, F/N back me up here." Veronica said.
"I think it's a great idea." Betty said.
"Thank you Betty." Archie said.
"Knowing the Blossom's and the way they think. I don't think it is." You said.
"Thank you F/N." Veronica said.
"While your there will you talk to Polly for me I just want to make sure she's okay." Betty said.
"Defiantly." Archie said.
"Thank you." Betty smiled.
"And don't worry I can take care of myself." Archie said.
"Famous last words Archiekins." Veronica said and ate a piece of fruit.
"Are you coming to the lunch with Ethel?" Veronica asked.
"I have something to do." You said.
"What?" Veronica asked.
"Nothing." You said with a smile.
"Just making a trip to the Andrews." You thought.
