⚠️TW: Bullying⚠️
Betty's PoV
Hi my name is Elizabeth Cooper. And I would say my friends call me Betty but the reality is, I have no friends. I was bullied by Jughead and his goons since 2nd grade when I landed in the mud at recess. Lets just say it hasn't got better since.
Narrator's PoV
Betty stumbled through the halls as slurs where thrown at her. Everyday she would wake up, get taunted, and go home. It was like a never ending cycle.
Jughead had just stepped foot in school being late as us per usual. Only to see Betty Cooper shutting her locker and heading towards class. He hates her with a burning passion.
But it is wierd considering she has done nothing wrong to him ever. Or anyone for that fact.
He pulled a chair out from the back of the class and sat behind her as she wrote on a piece of paper.
He then saw someone pass a note to her. He didn't see it but pressumed it was ridiculing her as she quickly swiped a tear away with the back of her sleeve.
The class passed fairly quickly and with that she fled her table. Something slipt out of her bag as she as she left. So he picked it up out of curiosity. It read:
'Go to hell, fat loser'
He looked towards the door and shook his head before stuffing the note in his pocket. He made his way to his lunch table with his burger and fries.
As he made his way past Betty's table which she sat alone at he knocked over his milk all on her jumper. She jerked back in shock as the cold liquid soaked her top. He then roughly slammed the note on her notepad, she was writing on and snarled in her ear.
"In case you forgot"
He saw tears well up in her eyes however she bit her lip to contain her tears which seemed to work because she quickly picked up her way to big bag and left the cafeteria.
He turned back to his friends who all had smirks on their faces.
>later that night at pop's<
She quickly tied her apron round her hips and made her way to her first table which happened to be Jughead's family. 'Delightful' she thought to herself.
"What may I get for you all?"
"Oh mommy can I have a strawberry milkshake" Jughead's little sister said loudly.
"Sure" His mom said in response.
"So we will have 2 strawberry milkshakes. 1 diet coke and Jug what do you want?" Jughead's mother said.
"I'm gonna have a black coffee"
"Ok I will be right back with then and then take you orders"
*time skip to the end of the meal bc I'm lazy*
"Would you like the check?" Betty said once again approaching the table.
"Sure" Jughead's dad said.
"Here you go" Betty said handing them the check.
They laid the 30 dollars on the table despide it being only 20.
"It was $20 you have payed $10 more. Here you go" She said offering them the $10.
"Oh no, honey. That is your tip"
Betty's face lit up like she was just given a 100 dollar bill. She does this job as a volunteer because Pop can't hire a minor so whatever tip she gets is what she gets payed.
"Thankyou so much! Enjoy the rest of your evening."
Jughead just rolled his eyes and shoulder barged her as they left.
How could such a nice family have such an awful son?
Once her shift was over she left, her stomach grumbling as she did. The truth is that she didn't only get bullied. She was also homeless, and had not eaten in 2 days because the homeless shelter was full meaning she couldn't get the free food they provided. And if she wasn't staying, she would have to pay for it but since the tips were scarce lately she couldn't afford anything. She traveled to the homeless shelter across town settling to give it a try and see if it was full because sleeping on park benches was hurting her back and she could use a comfy bed. Or warmth.
She knocked on the door. And was soon met with the familiar face of the owner.
"Hi Betty! We have room if you would like to sleep here." She said smiling.
"Thankyou so much"
She made her way up to one of the rooms amd flopped onto the bed and started crying with thoughts like 'why me? What did I do wrong?' circling her mind.
>flash forward to Christmas break<
Betty had been able to stay at the homeless shelter for over a month. It was like a god send. A full belly and warmth.
It was approaching Christmas and it was the time of year Betty hated since her family kicked her out. People normally came to the shelter bringing gifts for their friends. However, Betty wouldn't have anybody to come and meet her so lets just say. It was the most loneliest day of the year in her books.
Jughead's PoV
My mom wanted me to tag along going to the homeless shelter and hand out gifts. I really don't want to go. They are all just crackheads, who got themselves on the street so that's not my fault (A/N: I don't view homeless people like that btw)
When we got there I mentally sighed. I walked in with a handful of gifts and then I saw her. What the hell? What was Betty Cooper doing here? She will tell the school how dorky I am actually being here?
But why was she here? She could be visiting someone right?
My mom strolled up to her dragging me with her. Betty's head still buried in a book.
"Hello!" My mom cheered.
"Oh hi Mrs. Jones!"
"Who are you visiting?" My mom asked.
I saw her shift uncomfortably in the chair still unaware I was there.
"I live here" She spoke quietly.
"YOU WHAT?!" My and my mom both whisper shouted.
She then saw me and I saw her eyes widen in fear.
"I should go back up to my room" she said her head facing the ground.
"No stay we have a gift you" I said grabbing her wrist lightly. It was wierd to say something nice to her but I felt so bad knowing that she was so strong after all I have put her through plus having to live at a homeless shelter.
"For me?" She questioned her voice breaking my heart.
"Yes you, come here." I said handing her a box of writing equipment. As I have seen her write all the time at school and I assume it is one of her hobbies. She immediately broke down.
"Thankyou so much. This is the nicest thing someone has ever done for me" She said her tears flowing down her cheeks like rivers.
It hurt knowing that this was the nicest thing that has ever happened to her. How much has she really been through?
"Betty I will be apologising for the rest of my life. But I'm sorry for treating you like shit when you have already been through so much. Can you ever forgive me?"
"Yes"
"Just like that?"
"Just like that. I expected this to be like the rest of my Christmas's were I got nothing. But you put our school problems aside and made my day. So who ever does that deserves to be forgiven in my eyes."
"You have a heart of gold you know that Cooper?"
She blushed lightly.
This was the moment I knew I was falling for Elizabeth Cooper
