20 please!!
Thanks for requesting :)
20. It’s just rain, you aren’t gonna melt!
“Come on, Cheryl. It’s just rain. You aren’t going to melt!” Betty pleaded.
“If you think I’m willing to ruin these Jimmy Choo heels just to drive you home, you’re crazier than I give you credit for.” Her sparkly heels clicked against the floor, echoing in the halls as she walked away.
Betty slumped against the wall, utterly regretting getting a ride to school from Cheryl. She should’ve known better.
She peered out the front door, solemnly making the decision to walk home alone without an umbrella to protect her from the torrential downpour. Her hand reached forward, ready to leave, when a voice stopped her.
“Hey, uh, Betty, right?” A boy with jet black hair and an odd crown-like hat asked her. Betty nodded. “I overheard your conversation with the ‘princess.’ You need a ride?”
Betty hesitated. He wasn’t the kind of guy she’d typically be seen around. He always wore a Serpent jacket, proudly claiming his affiliation to the gang. Betty’s mom had always made her stay away from the Southside. But Jughead Jones seemed different. She felt an undeniable pull toward him.
“Thanks.”
He seemed a little surprised that she agreed but then gave her a slow smile. “Alright.” He started taking off his jacket. “You’re going to want this. Unfortunately, my ride isn’t exactly rainproof. But it’ll get you there faster than walking. I’ll pull up to the curb.”
Underneath the jacket, Jughead had only been wearing a simple white t-shirt. Betty tried not to stare as he walked out the door. She slipped on his jacket, welcoming the warmth.
He pulled up to the curb, and she walked down the steps toward him.
“You know, if you ever need a ride, I’m here,” he mumbled nervously.
She wrapped her arms around his waist, trying to suppress a smile. This is definitely something she could get used to.
