Jughead and Betty walked hand to hand to school on Monday. They had less than a month until graduation, so things were really winding down. But before they could even get to their locker, they were swarmed with excited friends.
“You guys won!” Midge said.
“Won? Won what?” Betty tried to squeeze her way through to her locker.
“Prom King and Queen! They tried to give you guys the award, but you disappeared early!” Nancy said it this time, clearly excited over the thought.
“Oh. That's nice.” Betty finally made it to her locker and started to plug in a combination. “Hear that Juggie? You were Prom king.”
“How... weird.” He didn't seem any more excited by the idea than Betty was. “Listen Bets, I got to go to my locker. See you in English?”
“Can't wait.” He seemed to hesitate for a minute, aware of their audience, so Betty took the liberty of giving him a parting kiss. He blushed cutely before waving and heading to his locker down the hall. Both Midge and Nancy were staring open-mouthed at his back.
“Okay, that's it.” Midge put her hands on her hips. “Dish.”
“I don't know what you mean.” Betty played coy, a slight smile adorning her face.
“Girl, please.” Nancy mimicked Midge's stance.
“Jughead and I are dating. So what?” Betty got her locker open and fished around for some books. She paused, and ripped down a few pictures of Archie, crinkling them in her hands.
“So WHAT? SO WHAT?” Midge looked so frustrated she could pop. “How did this happen?! Last I knew you were all over Archie, his little go-to girl, and then all of a sudden you are going to prom with Jughead Jones. As if that's not weird enough, usually your back-up is Reggie. THEN Archie and Jughead get in a huge fight in the courtyard, and whispers are they were fighting over you. Next we see you, you and Jughead are going steady. FILL. IN. THE. BLANKS FOR US. PLEASE.”
Girls did love their gossip, and Betty was no exception. Just to a lesser degree.
“Alright. Alright. Well, all I can say is that for a while now I haven't really liked Archie at all. It was just habit to like him. And for a while now I have been slowly attaching myself to Juggie. Then Archie ditches me in favor of Ronnie for prom, and I just had enough.” Betty shrugged, pulling out the books she'd need.
“You had enough? But how does Jughead fit into this equation?” Nancy seemed to be vaguely following.
“Well... he saw me crying after what Archie did... and just got mad. Said he'd take me to prom instead and show me the night of my life. And he did.”
“And you just fell in love with him? Stopped loving Archie after years of pining, and dated Jughead? You aren't rebounding, are you?” Nancy was still sceptical.
“No! Of course not! I'd never do that to Juggie. Thing is, all this time, Juggie has looked out for me and helped me when he was suffering. He loved me since we were children, and he played cupid for Archie and me just to see me happy. Somehow, between crying because Archie's a jerk and running into Juggie's arms for comfort, I realized that I have been lying to myself all along. The person I loved was Jughead, and I was just stuck in this rut I had dug for myself, afraid to stray.” Betty blushed and smiled a little. “You guys, I think Juggie is the one.”
“Oh. My. God.” Midge grabbed Betty's hand and looked her straight in the eyes. “Don't say that unless you slept with him. He could be AWFUL in bed and then you'll be really disappointed. Hold out your heart until then, okay?”
“Uh...” Betty blushed. “That won't really be a problem...”
“No.” Nancy rushed in to get in on the action. “You didn't. You did it with him?”
Betty nodded shyly, knowing that she could trust these girls. They wouldn't judge her. Midge was simply beaming.
“So he was good?” Midge asked, eagerly accepting the way the conversation headed.
“Oh yeah.” Betty nodded, making her way to class with the girls trailing behind.
“How good?” Nancy asked.
“With the way that boy kisses, I'm shocked he isn't knee deep in female admirers.” Betty was smiling just thinking about it. “He's better at kissing than any of the other guys I've kissed. Had Archie beat by a mile. Adam didn't even compare. My knees were jelly and my clothes were still on!”
“Who would have thought!” Midge gushed. “How big is he?”
Betty stopped in her tracks, a blush turning her whole face bright red. “Midge!”
“I kinda want to know too...” Nancy said sheepishly. Betty sighed, tucked her books under her arm and flattened her hands to show length. She experimented with it, trying to place the mental imagery of it, before coming to a conclusion and holding up her findings.
“About like this.” She said confidently.
“That big?!” Midge gasped. “How in the world did he keep himself hidden all these years?”
“Jeez. I don't even think Chuck compares.” Nancy frowned.
“Ohhhh no, girls.” Betty grabbed her books normally again and continued walking. “He's mine.”
“Hey, needle nose!” Reggie stomped up to Jughead who was just settling down for his advanced math review. He looked up and raised an eyebrow at his sometimes friend, wondering what was wrong with him.
“I heard the most ridiculous thing! I was just told you and Betty are going steady!” Reggie put his palm on Jughead's desk, physically demanding the truth. Jughead went back to studying his text book, the eraser of his pencil being chewed between his front teeth.
“Why is that ridiculous? We are going steady.” Jughead pretended not to care about where the conversation was going.
“What? How in the world did you manage that? I thought she was Archie's girl?” Reggie's face did not mask his shock.
“She was. But now she's my girl.” Jughead didn't even spare Reggie a glance.
“How?! She's one of the hottest chicks in school, and no one, not even Mantel the Magnificent, could sway her from Archie.” He seemed to be staring a hole in Jughead's head.
“It just happened. I've loved Betty for a long time, and she just had enough of Archie. And somehow, she fell in love with me.” Jughead finally looked up to Reggie, indifference in his gaze. “So now we are dating. I want to marry her, even, one day.”
“You were voted prom King and Queen!” He threw up his hands in outrage. “This sort of thing doesn't happen overnight!”
“So I was told.” Jughead said impassively.
“Though... I did hear that you beat the crap out of Andrews.” Reggie grinned at the thought. “Props for that.”
“He deserved it.” Jughead sighed and closed his textbook. “Look, Reggie. You and I don't always see eye to eye, but I want to give you a heads up. Betty isn't the only girl that Archie may have lost. Veronica might soon follow. I know you have the hots for her, so go be her shoulder to cry on. You never know, you might get a happy ending as well.”
Reggie was quiet for a while, thoughtful. Finally he sat down in the desk next to Jughead's, a serious expression on his face. “Hey, but what if Ronnie wasn't the one I wanted?”
“What do you mean?” Jughead was now definitely curious. Reggie was never serious.
“I'm a little jealous of you, actually. I thought that would never happen. See, all along I was after Betty.” Reggie just shook his head. “I'm a smart guy. I know that Betty is the best I could do. She's too damn good for me, but she always stopped to pay attention to me and care for me when I was sick. I loved her.”
“Loved?” Jughead asked, gritting his teeth. He used it in the past tense. It better be in the past tense.
“Yeah. Thing is, I know when to give up. And seeing how beautiful and happy she was this morning, I just knew I couldn't compare to what you have. When she was with Archie, she never had that glow to her. I thought I had a chance.... but now...” He sighed. “Listen, Needle-Nose. If you break her heart I swear to god I will break you.”
“I won't, Reg. Don't worry.” Jughead smiled at him.
Reggie shifted a bit uncomfortably before speaking again. “Hey, maybe sometime we could hang out. Catch up. I know we haven't always been the friendliest...”
“Yeah. I'd like that.”
