...Only You...

..FRIENDS..

"Again, you've became a part of my life and I wanted to help you. Because what's the core four without you, huh?"

I laughed and smiled again. Wow, Jughead was being nice to me for once more.

"Thank you, Veronica."

Then, the bell rang and I went to my second period with Archie and Betty. Archie sat next to me and asked me where was I on the break.

"I was with Jughead and before you freak out, no, we didn't do something. He actually thanked me..."

Archie looked at me with shock, then chuckled.

"Jughead thanked you? Really? For what?"

"Yeah, I know it souns pretty weird, but he did. He thanked me for saving him, that night and also for the whole graduation thing."

"I give up!"

Archie and I quietly laughed and thank god, that mr. Loren didn't kick us out of his class.

Betty's POV
At the second period, I sat behind Archie and V. They were talking and laughing about something. I didn't hear anything and on the break, I found them and asked them what was it. Veronica told me everything and I almost fell. Seriously? Jughead thanked her? Wow, I'm truly shocked!

After a few minutes, Jughead joined our company and we talked about Donna's (and Bret's) reaction, when they saw Jughead entering the Stonewall, alive.

Veronica and Archie wished they were there to see their faces too.

"Don't worry, I have pictures." said I and we laughed our eyes out. Ah, I had missed those moments. So much, that I really can't describe you, how happy I am now.

[Some hours later]

Jughead's POV
Last period, finally. I was with Veronica (again), Cheryl, Toni and Kev. This time, Kevin and Veronica were next to me. Hmm..Veronica? Weird. I leaned over a bit and whispered as quietly as I could:

"Veronica, I was thinking... I'm bored of our fights and after our conversation, would you uh like us to be... friends?"

She looked at me with disbelief. It's true, that we weren't as close as we were with Archie and Betty.

"I...Yeah, sure, I guess."

Veronica gave me a half smile and returned to her notebook. I smiled at myself and thought about, how I had just convienced Veronica Lodge to be my friend. It would be a start of an awfwul or a great friendship. Let's see how it goes.

[Meanwhile...]

Archie's POV
I asked mr. Smithers to go to the toilet. Betty folowed me. She said, that she wanted to talk about something and I was wondering what could it be.

"Hi, Arch, over here!" said she and we ended up being in an empty classroom.

"So, what did you want to tell me, Betts?"

"About..."

"Yes?"

"...The kiss. I know, that we just pretended and I didn't feel something, but I wanted to talk about it."

"Betty, what's up with that? I didn't feel something either, but what's there to discuss?"

"Veronica."

"What about her?"

"When we were still pretending to be together, she told me that she was jealous. Of us."

Veronica was jealous? Why didn't she tell me about it?

"What? Arw you serious?"

"Yes, Arch. Hasn't she told you yet?"

"No, she hasn't. Why was she jealous anyways?"

"Nothing. She thought, that you really liked me and I did too, but that's rediculous, right?"

"Yes, of course it is."

Betty nodded.

"Oh and also...thank you for comforting me that day I had fought with Jug.."

I hugged Betty and caressed her back.

"That was the least thing I could do for you, Betts."
