"Well, I guess I'm used to going with someone now. Ever since I've been with Betty." He shrugged.

"Reasonable." Veronica nodded.

"So," Jughead started, "truth or dare?"

"We're playing 20 questions, Jughead."

"I know. Truth or dare is a question. I clearly spoke the question mark in that question, too." Jughead said.

Veronica rolled her eyes. "Dare."

"I dare you to wear your glasses to school. All day." Jughead dared.

Veronica glared at him. "Do you want me to be lonely?"

"Oh, come on. It's not all that bad." Jughead smiled at the slightest.

Veronica groaned. "I swear if I start being called four eyes then you're dead."

"Actually, you know what? I want you to do it today." Jughead said, clearly amused.

Veronica's eyes widened. "Are you kidding? Whatever, I left them at home."

"I mean, you have a half an hour left. You can go get it." Jughead looked at the clock. "Here, I'll come with you."

Veronica groaned, once again.

The two walked out the school, side by side.

Meanwhile, Cheryl Blossom was at her locker, watching intently at the raven haired pair.

"What kind of tea is this?" She questioned, crossing her arms.

She turned to Toni Topaz, her current girlfriend, "TeeTee, get your boots ready."

"What do you mean?" Toni asked.

"I'm in the mood for a little hell raising." Cheryl smirked.

Whilst Veronica was looking for her glasses, Jughead sneaked up into her room, placing Veronica's diary in the drawer of her desk.

He quickly ran back downstairs, pretending he hadn't moved at all.

"Here it is!" Veronica held up her pair glasses.

Jughead walked over to her, inspecting the glasses. "I mean, it looks cliche."

"What?"

"You know, when you watch those movies, which include some kind of nerd or geek, they always have these types of glasses." He explained.

"Well, Jughead. I'm afraid to say that this isn't a movie. It's my eyesight."

Suddenly, they heard a strange pitter patter outside.

Veronica looked out her window. "Shit!" She yelled. "It's raining."

"Cool. I like rain." Jughead said.

Veronuca rolled her eyes. She grabbed an umbrella from her room. "Okay, let's go. We have no more time to waste, we'll be late."

"Wait, where's my umbrella?" Jughead asked.

"I only have one. Plus, you said you liked the rain. And you rarely even care about how you look." Veronica answered.

"It's a strong rain outside. I'm going to be soaking wet, and it's uncomfortable when you're not changing right after." Jughead said.

"Well, I don't know how I can help. I only have one. Don't you have a hood?" Veronica asked.

Jughead rolled his eyes before snatching the umbrella out of the girls hands.

"Hey!" Veronica tried to grab the umbrella.

"We can share it." He said.

Veronica groaned as she crossed her arms.

"What? Just to let you know, girlie, I am quite the gentleman." Jughead opened the door.

"After you." He suggested.

Veronica walked out the door.

Just then, Jughead closed the door from inside, locking Veronica out.

"Hey! What the fuck?!" Veronica banged on the door.

Jughead had no motive to go to school today. Betty was sick, and Archie is in jail. His two friends, slash girlfriend.

It was really windy outside, so it would've been freezing back at the trailer. But inside the Pembrooke is nice and warm.

As soon as he sat down on the couch, he thought of all the secrets Hiram must've been hiding in this building.

Suddenly, the front door opened. Revealing a very messy, wet Veronica.
