ch 17

Jughead's eyes widened. "Veronica, are you nuts? If your dad finds out, he'll literally kill me while I'm asleep."

"Sleeping is optional." Veronica said.

"Still, your dad is gonna find out that I'm staying over at his place for the night."

Veronica sighed. "Can you just get in? It's getting cold."

Jughead got in. Veronica took one sheet out of her bed, and covered the window with it.

"Anyways, I won't let any of my parents in my room all night. Get yourself comfortable, I'm gonna go change." Veronica said. She took some clothes out of her closet, and went to the bathroom.

Jughead took off his plaid sweater, and his beanie, throwing it on the bed. Veronica's room was warm, polluted with air conditioning.

His eyes inspected the girl's room. Jughead looked around her desk, and found Veronica's diary in that same drawer.

He didn't hesitate to read it.

Day 28

Reggie hates me. He caught me and Jughead sharing a milkshake and said that we were over. We're not even dating.

Me and Jughead have been hanging out, and talking a lot lately. It's weird. Tomorrow me and Jughead are gonna go stalk Betty on her dinner. We're gonna try to gather up some clues on the farm.

I hope we find some good stuff. I really wanna help my best friend out.

As soon as Jughead finished the page, he heard a knock on the door.

"Mija?" It was Hiram.

Jughead swiftly put the book back, ran and hid in Veronica's closet.

Hiram opened the door, but before he could look around the room for his daughter, Veronica popped up behind him.

"Daddy?" Her hair was wrapped up in a towel.

"Oh! Mija, there you are. I knew I heard you. Why are you still awake?" He asked.

"Why are you still awake?" Veronica used the UNO reverse card.

"I have a lot work to do." Hiram answered.

"Well, I had a lot of studying for an exam tomorrow." Veronica replied.

"Ah, well. Hope you succeed. You should get to sleep, mija." Hiram said. "Good night."

Veronica smiled, as she watched her father walk back to his study.

She walked into her room, closing the door behind her.

"Jughead?" She quietly called.

Jughead walked out the closet, which startled Veronica at first.

"That was a close one." Jughead said.

"Tell me about it." Veronica sat down on her bed, unwrapping her wet hair.

"Do you have any extra blankets?" Jughead asked.

"Yep. In my closet." Veronica rubbed her hair in her towel.

Jughead headed back to her closet, opening it. He didn't realize, when he was inside it, that there were piles of blankets. From thick to thin.

He took out two thick blankets, and one thin one.

Jughead laid out one of the thick blankets on the floor, put the thin one on top, and used the other thick one as a blanket.

"Here," Veronica handed him one of her pillows.

"Thanks." Jughead thanked, laying the pillow where he planned his head would be. He laid down, in his little floor bed, and tucked himself in.

Veronica hanged her towel. "Lights out?"

"Sure." Jughead replied.

She flipped the switch, causing the lights to turn off.

Veronica walked back to her bed, trying not to accidentally step on Jughead. She got in her blankets, and drifted to sleep.
