A Cruz new life (Riverdale)

Troubling world

"After her TMZ-style take-down of Chuck, all the Vixens kind of like Veronica now."

"Do they?" Then Veronica mom walks over to pick up the money but Cheryl stops her

"Be sure to put all that cash in the register. You are a Lodge, after all, and Lodges are known to have sticky fingers." Veronica glared at Chelry then hissed

"Cheryl..."

"Honey, I got this. Cheryl, I went to school with your mother She didn't know the difference between having money and having class, either"

"Burn" I whispered taking a sip from my milkshake then we turned I see Archie with I think is his dad and a woman

"Now, that's an odd combo of people" Betty looked over and her mouth dropped

"I'll be right back"

"No, Betty" but too late

"No. Don't..."

"Wait, what's happening?" Me and Kevin asked but I just stood up and walked with Betty

"Hey, Betty Hi Celeste" I waved

"Hi, Mr. Andrews, Ms. Grundy" oh so this is Grundy eh

"Archie, can I talk to you?"

"Sure. I'll call you later?"

"No. Actually, now Just school stuff. Outside?" As they did I followed

"Archie, as your best friend, is there anything you want to tell me?"

"I don't think so"

"Ms. Grundy was at Sweetwater River on July 4th Were you with her?" My eyes widen

"Did Jughead tell you?"

"Oh god no way" I said shocked

"Jughead knows about this?" Said Betty shocked

"It's not what you're thinking"

"So, it's platonic?"

"Okay, well, maybe it's a little like what you're thinking..."

"Ew" I became grossed out

"Archie Are you and Ms. Grundy, like, together, like, romantically?" I almost gagged that woman with Archie Ew Ew Ew and on boy was it about to go down

"Ewww Archie that's Ugh!"

"Oh, my God You and your music teacher are having an affair?" I heard Veronica say

"We are...together. Look, I know that sounds bad, but..."

"Bad?" I said as if he lost his mind

"It sounds scandalous" said Veronica

"It sounds like jail time to me. Illegal!" Said Betty

"Betty, don't go there"

"Oh, I'm already there"

"Ronnie, Celeste a little help here?"

"Don't bring me into this I just found out now but Ewww"

"I mean, technically, Betty's right And ethically... Well, what is Grundy to you, anyway, your girlfriend? Your booty tutor?"

"I don't know, I don't know what to call her"

"You said you were at the river alone You lied to Sheriff Keller, to all of us Why? To protect her?"
