💗 Betty Cooper 💗
Should I tell him more?
"I can't BELIEVE you're dating Jughead Jones!" Charles exclaims. Gosh, he sounds exactly like Kevin, I think to myself.
"Shhhhh" I playfully hushed him. It wasn't big news yet, we decided not to go public because I don't exactly need cameras flashing in my face right now.
"How was the move to New York?" He asks nonchalant, but I know why he's asking. He wants to know why I asked him to come here.
"It was really good" I say, picking at the sandwich I ordered. My stomach twists and suddenly I don't feel like eating.
His eyebrows furrow in concern and I know that he won't buy anything that comes out of my mouth from here on out.
"How come you called me to New York?" He asks.
How do I explain it in a way that he won't start bombarding me with questions about Jughead? I wonder.
Before I can form an answer, my phone pings, saving me from embarrassment.
💬
? - Hello, Princess.
Uh, okay, I think to myself. I form the courage to reply. Surely it's Jughead playing a prank on me?
B - Who is this? How did you get my number?
? - Ah, Betty. Always asking the wrong questions. You should be asking
what am I going to do when I get my hands on you?
Who the hell is this creep? Charles gives me a worried look, so I smile timidly at him.
B - I'm getting my boyfriend to track you down, you fucker.
? - Jughead, is it? I wouldn't do that if I were you.
B - Why not?
? - Car crashes are very common in Riverdale. You wouldn't want
Mommy and Daddy to get into an accident, would you?
B - What do you want? I'll do anything.
? - Nothing yet, sweetheart. Why don't you give Mommy a little
call and ask her about what she's been writing for the Register?

"Betty? Are you okay?" Charles asks, panicked.
I give him my phone and he examines the conversation I just had with this mystery person.
"Shit!" he says. There's a bit of an edge to the sound, but I choose to ignore it. He's just panicking, like you.
I take my phone off him and scroll through my contacts until I find the number. Alice Cooper.

A - Hi honey! Why haven't you called me since you left?
