Last night I didn't sleep but it was fine. I stepped into mine and Jug's bathroom and started to apply makeup to my face and do my hair at around 6:30. I decided that I would have to make myself look better than I normally do no one noticed. I searched my closet and couldn't find anything I wanted. So I gave up grabbed one of dads old plaid shirts some pants and tennis shoes.

I looked at myself satisfied as I grinned in the mirror. Jughead walked in and I stopped smiling because he looked worried. "What?" "Oh nothing, Kevin wanted to talk to us about the musical," I nodded excited. "Yeah I heard rumors that he wanted us to film a documentary of behind the scenes Carrie," he eyebrows raised in surprize. "Really I didn't know that," I nodded as I finished tying my shoe and went for the door. "Come on we're supposed to be there early. Besides I'm supposed to be a backup dancer," he nodded and followed behind me as I walked out of the trailer and into the cool air. We started walking and talking about random things until we got to school. We walked into the student lounge and sat down where Kevin instructed us too. "Thank you guys for meeting with me before school. I'm making a behind the scenes production of Carrie the musical. We're going seventies glamour just like the original movie. I want you to be our videographers," we agreed and Kevin gave Jughead a camera too use while I used my cannon Reggie bought me for Christmas. We sat down in seats of the auditorium. "Okay introductions," I could barely here Kevin say. I held in a laugh as Fangs pulled his screeching chair into the circle. After they followed instructions. "I'm Archie I will be playing Tommy Ross," Archie said then Betty. "I'm Betty and I will be playing Sue S'nell, (I don't know if that's right I'm sorry) the good girl. Then Veronica. "I will be playing the iconic role of Chris Hargenson the mean girl," then Cheryl. "I'm Cheryl and I will be playing the part of Carrie White," after she finished the circle went on with the introductions when Chuck came to the circle holding a chair. "I'm sorry I'm late I thought practice was in the music room," Kevin told him it was fine and he sat down. After all the introductions and Cheryl singing a song to prove that she was the perfect person for the role we went after Chuck. To ask him a few questions. He sat in a chair and me and Jughead both filmed. "Sooo Chuck Clayton," I said suspiciously. "Why did you join the play," Jughead finished for me and I glared at him for not letting me talk. Chuck chuckled at us and his eyes went wide in surprise. "So it's true what they say. You too do speak through twin telepathy," we all laughed and he went back to his serious face again. "To be honest though. I'm trying to reform my image, and yeah maybe it's a little counter-intuitive to be playing the villain but I mean someone has too," I nodded and so did Jughead surprised. "I want to do it right though show up to all the practices, and put in all the work. I'm gonna be a good bad guy," I held in a laugh again at his last sentence but I couldn't ruin the video and kept nodding. The stop in what he was saying implied that was his whole answer so I turned my camera off. I started to get a major headache, there was a point where I walked into lockers that I didn't see were there. Jughead eventually asked me what's wrong and when I told him he forced me to go to the nurses office. Of course she did nothing except for give me an ibuprofen. After going to the nurses Kevin said he would like to talk to us. We met him in a private office and started our cameras. "I've got a dark secret to confess. After the sandbag incident with Cheryl I got this note in my locker," I looked at it and took me a while to process the words. The magazine letters were confusing, but I think it said it was from the black hood and that Cheryl didn't deserve to be Carrie. I gasped she just got out of that crazy strict church place and someone is threatening her. Great. "As videographers your sworn to secrecy because as they say the show must go on," Kevin said and I nodded solemnly. Jughead called Betty and she sat down in a chair in the student lounge when I shoved the note in her hands and she started to read. "This isn't legitimate," "It's a legitimate threat," I said. "But it's not the actual black hood," my brother finished for me and I nodded. "A guy put this is in her locker because they don't want her to be Carrie," I told Betty. "Who's to say it was a guy. Ethel didn't seem very happy that Cheryl got the role as Carrie," we both nodded and Betty went to question Ethel and Jughead planned to video it. While they did that I went to practice for my back up dancer part. I walked in and Kevin speed walked my way. By the time he was close enough for me to hear he started talking really fast. "A.J. I really need you right now. Me and Fangs decided to add our own twist on the play we want Chris Hargenson to have a little sister, Sara Hargenson and we want it to be you," I nodded my head no and fast reply a little bit overwhelmed with everything he just said. "Kevin that's to much I can't film behind the scenes and be an actress. I mean Kevin, I love you like I would do anything for you but I'm not really in a good place right now and that would add a lot-" "I'm cutting you off as videographer. It's just Jughead now," I looked at him sadly I wanted to film that. I wanted to have proof that Jughead wasn't better than me at everything but I nodded at him anyways. "Fine I'll play Sara," he nodded at me smiling. "Don't pretend like I haven't heard you sing before its amazing," I laughed awkwardly and ran to the stage I climbed up and tripped over my feet when I felt strong arms wrap around me. "Are you ok Kira," his low voice sent chills down my spine into my legs, and I smiled up at him to relieve the tension in my body. "Of course I am Reggie. What are you doing here anyways?" I asked. "Oh nothing I was just talking to Chuck and as I was leaving a beautiful girl fell in my arms," I laughed at how corny what he just said was. "Pfft who," I asked "You," he whispered in my ear. I rolled my eyes and then started to remember why I was here right now, and I pushed him off of me and walked off. Leaving him there confused. "Sorry," I walked to the dressing room but Archie stood in front of the door, looking angry. "What?" I asked when he looked at me I could see the anger in his eyes. "Really? You like Reggie but not me?" I looked up at him confused. "No way would I cheat on Sweat Pea for Reggie and especially not you. You have a flippin girlfriend you idiot," I pushed past him into my room and locked the door behind me and huffed in anger and punched the wall. "Boys are so annoying," "I hope I'm an exception," I turned around to find Sweat Pea holding flowers. "Oh thank god," I ran into him he threw the flowers on the couch and wrapped me in his strong arms as I threw myself into him. "I need this why can't you just hold me forever?" I asked. I could hear a soft chuckle come from above my head. "Because princess if we were together all the time. You might try to kill me," I laughed as he let go and picked up the flowers then handed them to me. "I heard your playing the role of Sara Hargenson," I nodded excitedly. "Well then for princess Hargenson," I laughed as he gave my flowers. "Ooh pretty," I said "Just like you," I laughed as he winked at me when someone started banging on my door. "A.J. let's go me and Fangs can't wait forever," we both laughed and I put the flowers down and opened the door. "I'm coming gosh," he smiled at me "Good because I need you to sing this," he handed me a paper and I nodded nervously. I grabbed it and ran back into my room. "Oh my god Oh my god Oh my god. Sweat Pea I can't sing that well, Sweat Pea," my breathing was going ragged my heart was pumping through my chest. What if I mess up. What if no one likes me. Want if they think I suck. Sweat pea ran up. "Shhh A.J. it's ok. Your gonna be ok. Your not gonna mess up. Ok?" I nodded buy I couldn't really understand what he was saying. It was fading and so was my hearing. Then it was black.

I woke up and grabbed the nearest thing to me, which happened to be Jughead. "Gosh Kira are you ok," I nodded and smiled. "I'm fine but I am kinda worried. Jughead he wants me to sing," he looked at me weirdly. "A.J. your going to do great. I don't know why your worrying. Your better than the Josie and Veronica together," "Thanks," he nodded at me and I looked around. Around me sat the worried looking faces of Veronica, Betty, Archie, Sweat Pea,Kevin, Reggie,Fangs, and Toni. I smiled at them. "What do I have a bug on my face?" I asked sarcastically. Most of the group laughed softly as they slowly departed. I got up and I went to practice. "Okay so let's get this straight. My character has a crush on Tommy right," Kevin nodded "And Veronica is my older sister," Kevin and Fangs both nodded again. "So am I good or bad?" Fangs and Kevin looked at each other then shrugged at the same time. "A little bit of both," Fangs suggested. Kevin nodded and I nodded at him. We rehearsed for a while and after about two hours we were done. "I know she's the villain but I really like your character Ronnie," she laughed softly "Thanks," I jumped off the stage and walked over to a filming Jughead. "Isn't it the perfect part though," I looked over to see Betty dressed up as her part staring at Veronica. "Rich bitch check, severe daddy issues check, stabs her friends in the back for no good reason......Check," I looked over to Jughead and rolled my eyes he nudged me in the ribs with his elbow. "Betty," Archie warned "No she's right I've been a terrible friend anyways," I watched as she ran out of the room and with tears she tried so hard to keep back. "A.J. you don't have to pretend to be my friend I know you hate me and my family," I nodded my head no at her very quickly. "Veronica, I don't hate you I never have. I thought you were the coolest girl ever since you walked in the first day and immediately started judging the school's paintjob," she laughed but she couldn't hold back the tears. "Do I like what your dad is planning? God no but that doesn't change the fact that your my bestfriend. Your dad could be a psychopath killer like the black hood and you will still be my friend you understand that?" she nodded as I wrapped in my arms and she sobbed into my chest.

Time skip

I walked into the room where Jughead and Archie stood. "Hey guys," they both answered in different forms of hello. When Archie sat down and we started to film. "When Kevin came to me I already knew I was gonna help with the play just because he was my friend. He told me Tommy was the perfect character for me because I was a force of good because I am always the hero but I don't think that's true guys I've been following Hiram with whatever without even caring about how it's effecting my dad," he looked at me and the vision of him trying to hurt Sweat Pea popped in my head again. I wanted too pick up an instrument and just shove it in my head but I couldn't I just nodded at a sad looking Archie.

****************************
Time skip to right before the play

I watched in a corner as all the others started to sing. I laughed as I watched them dance but I couldn't stop thinking about how I was supposed to sing in front of a huge crowd, I wanted to cry. I was freaking out but when I looked at Kevin grinning I couldn't help but be happy for him. I sat silently as I listened to Archie, Veronica, and Betty talk to Chuck about how he's gotten better. When Sweat Pea walked in with a bouquet of yellow roses. I gasped and ran to him he wrapped me in his arms. "Thanks Sweats," I pulled away from him and he looked down at me grinning. "Well I had to congratulate my princess on getting a big role like this besides I can't wait to hear you sing," "I can," I muttered sarcastically and looked over to Archie who looked angry. I walked over to the curtains and pulled them open barely enough to see everyone there. I watched my dad walk up, look at Alice- who had apparently made things better with Hal- and he left. I went to run after him and ran straight into Kevin. "Hey Kev, I'm really sorry but I gotta talk to my dad it's really important," he nodded at me. "It's ok," he ran over to Fangs and they started to whisper but I didn't really care I ran out the door and saw my dad had just drove out of the parking lot on his motorcycle. I looked around to see if I brought any transportation. When I realized I didn't have any mechanical way of following my dad, I pulled off my high heels and started to run. I didn't really expect to catch up with him but I did. I probably looked stupid chasing after my dad on his motorcycle holding my high heels, but I didn't care. Eventually he stopped at pop's and pulled his helmet off. "Dad you need to talk to her, apologize, in the end she's in love with you and your in love with her. You deny it to yourself because your worried it won't work out. Because it didn't with mom, but you love her dad," he stared at me with no emotion coming from his face. "I don't know what your talking about," he turned and started for the door. "Dad let me help, I can write a letter from you. An-and you told Sweat pea what my favorite flowers were so I know you know what hers are," he looked at me with a soft smile. "Violets," I nodded. "Great then we go in there and I'll help you write a beautiful letter to the woman you love," he nodded at me and we walked through the glass doors and sat down at a booth close to the back. "Can you start to write while I go to the restroom please mija?" I nodded at him "Thank you so much A.J.," he said so happily. I really hope this works, for my dad's sake. I only wrote Dear when I got a call from Jughead. I picked up the phone and immediately could hear people going nuts in the back ground. "Jug what's going on?" I could almost sense him searching the room, for what I don't know but something was wrong. "A.J. Midge is dead, and I can't find Betty," I felt my breathing go rapid as I tried to control it. "Okay I'm on my way," I told him and hung up.

Ooooo what's gonna happen next?
