Dawning On Riverdale

New School

BETTY POV

I woke up early that morning and got dressed and put my hair in a ponytail. Polly was running late and was doing her lipstick in the mirror.

"Polly move! I need to brush my teeth!" I sassed. Polly scoffed and moved out of the way. I brushed my teeth and got my socks on. I got my boots on and grabbed my school supplies and put them in my backpack. I hugged Polly goodbye and I left. I was walking down the street when it began to rain...just my luck. Then someone ran up to me with an umbrella. He had red hair, a letterman jacket, and brown eyes.

"Here you go." He said handing it to me. I smiled and put it over me.

"I'm Archie Andrews. I'm on my way to Riverdale high school. I've never seen you around before."

I'm Betty Cooper, I just moved here with my sister Polly. I'm on my way to Riverdale High School too! I'm a Junior this year." I smiled. He smiled and we shook hands.

"I am too. Riverdale is quite an interesting town, but it's a nice area. Most people are nice...just avoid Nick St. Clair. He's a cruel hybrid." Archie sighed. Was everyone here crazy?

"Hybrid?" I scoffed.

"Yeah...half-jerk and half-wimp. He's really mean and is not afraid to hurt people. I'd stay out of his way if I were you." Archie nodded. I nodded and we arrived at the High School.

"I have friends if you want to meet them. Their names are Cheryl Blossom, Toni Topaz, Fangs Fogarty, Kevin Keller, Sweetpea Cricket, Veronica Lodge, and Jughead Jones."

"Actually, I met Jughead at Pops yesterday. He's very friendly, I guess." I said. Archie chuckled and we went down the hallway.

"Jughead only gets friendly with girls he thinks are hot, other whys...he's kind of a butthead. But he's one of my best friends and I love him. Jughead has lived with us since I was 2 because his parents died. All of my friends parents have died except Kevin's, Fang's, and Veronica's. My dad took the rest in and treated them like they were his own. They're very important to me." Archie said.

"Before my parents and brother died...I remember sitting at dinner every night and my mom would make this really amazing Italian salad and we ate the heck out of it! We had it at every meal...I can't even remember the taste." I sighed. It was still so hard to talk about them and not getting teary eyed.

"How'd they die? If you don't mind me asking?" Archie said while we was opening his locker.

"Animal attack. A bite on the neck and their bodies were drained of blood. Almost as if it wasn't an animal...but something else."

"Like What? A vampire?" Archie scoffed. He had a point...I was crazy.

"Haha! Very funny!" I scoffed. Archie and I exchanged numbers and he went to class. I went to my locker and got my supplies for my first period: History. I took a seat and I began to read a book. My book shut automatically for no reason at all and a raven haired girl sat next to me. My mouth hung wide open and she looked at me.

"I'm sorry...you must be Betty Cooper! I'm Veronica Lodge! Nice to meet you!" Veronica smiled and shook my hand. I reluctantly shook her hand. When class started the teacher asked me to come to the front of the class and talk about myself.

"Well...I'm Betty Cooper. I just moved here from Oregon with my sister, Polly. My parents and brother died 2 weeks ago and we wanted a fresh start." I said. I sat down in my seat and we had to take notes.

"I really don't want to take notes." Veronica whispered. She then stared at the Fire Alarm intently, then all of a sudden...it went off. We went out of the school and into the courtyard. We stood out there for about 45 minutes until we went back inside. When lunchtime rolled around, I sat with Archie and his friends. I saw Jughead and he smiled at me.

"Hi Jug, it's nice to see you." I smiled and nodded. Jughead nodded and ate his burger.

"The Fire alarm was intense today...this wasn't the first time it has gone off. Especially weird because it's at that time every time." Cheryl grunted and looked at Veronica. Veronica rolled her eyes and took a sip of her fruit juice.

"How do you like Riverdale so far, Cooper?" Toni asked.

"It's nice. Especially now that I have friends...we all are friends right?" I asked. Everyone exclaimed yes. I checked my schedule and saw that I had a Choir Class.

"Do you guys know where choir is?" I asked. H
Kevin's face lit up.

"I'm in Choir too! I'm a Baritone, Of course! What are you?" He asked.

"I'm an Alto. But can you take there because I have it next period?" I asked.

"Of course! Why don't we go right now?" He said. We both got up and he dragged me to the Choir Classroom.

JUGHEAD POV

Once Betty walked away, the Supernatural talk could happen.

"You guys see what I'm talking about! Betty is a spinning image of Ella! What's does it mean though?" I sighed.

"How do you know it's not Ella pretending to be a person named Betty?" Fangs shrugged.

"Because you birdbrain! Betty is completely innocent and clueless! She's doesn't even know that Jughead and I are vampires." Cheryl sassed.

"Well Sweetpea and I are Werewolves and we can obviously tell that Betty is not Ella, even though we've never even met Ella." Archie said.

"What if we did a spell? Fangs and I can do a spell to make sure they're actually two different people." Veronica said.

"No! I knew Ella and this is not her! Ella Dawn is dead! I watched her get killed and that's that! Betty Cooper is NOT Ella Dawn!" I yelled. There was a moment of silence.

"Jughead, your eyes!" Cheryl yelled. I felt the vaina under my eyes. I relaxed and they went away. I needed food. I pulled a blood bag and began to drink out of it secretly. I put it back in my backpack. I hated being a Vampire...even worse a liar to a girl I really like.
