Chapter 89

Callie was given the morning off by Veronica, she took the chance to get to school early that morning. She had a lot to get together for the Heathers musical. Callie was currently at her locker, she had to admit. Ever since her break up with Sweet Pea, she has missing him so much, she missed his jacket in her locker, and all the little notes stuck on the inside. Now the inside of her locker was just filled with colleges she dreams of getting into. She had a rule of not going back on anyone, but she broke that rule by booty calling Reggie, and he booty calling her. And after the booty calls, they would lay in Reggie's bed and just tell each other about much they miss Sweet Pea or Veronica. And how Reggie wants to be more to Veronica. At the moment Kevin and Evelyn was were in Principal Wetherbee's office with Mayor Lodge and somebody guard. They fighting to put the production, by Mrs. Lodge did not think it was a good idea, especially after what happened last year.

"We were so happy and shiny," Kevin began to sing. "Playing tag and getting chased." He walked out of the office, and everyone else followed. "Then we got bigger. That was the trigger. Like the Huns invading Rome. "They finally got out into the hallways. "Welcome to my school. This ain't no high school. This is the Thunderdome. Callie closed her locker, and walked down the hall singing.

"Hold your breath and count the days. We're graduating soon. College will be paradise. If I'm not dead by June" Kevin and the others joined her side and Kevin stopped in the hallway and sang. Students around him danced.

"But I know, I know. Life can be beautiful. I pray, I pray. For a better way. If we changed back then. We could change again. We can be beautiful. Just not today." A football student walked passed a kid with glasses and knocked down his books.

"Dweeb," the football player insulted. They then stopped in front of a billboard filled of colleges.

"Things will get better," Callie sang. "As soon as my letter comes from Harvard, Duke, or Brown. Wake up from this coma. Take my diploma. Then I can blow this town"

In the Andrew's home, Archie was in his room having a cute time with Josie.

"But I know, I know, I know. Life can be beautiful," Archie sang. Josie smiled and shook her head. "I pray, I pray, I pray for a better way."

"We were kind before," Josie sang. "We can be kind once more. We can be beautiful." She caressed the side of his face before tapping it." Just not today."

"I had a dream I was searching for a needle in a haystack," Jughead reported, Betty set down her tea. "Care to interpret, Dr. Freud?"

"Your plan's a good one, Jug," Betty assured him. "Your mom can't start dealing drugs without a lab to make them in. So, you find the lab, shut it down, and stop her before she gets a toehold."

"That's the goal for the week," Jughead smiled weakly at her.

"And I know, I know, I know. Life can be beautiful," Betty sang as she stood up. "I pray, I pray for a better way. "She put on her bag as Jughead stood up. "We were kind before. We can be kind once more. We can beautiful."

"Just not today," Jughead sang as he bopped her nose, she blushed and smiled.
