Chapter Text
Jughead and I had always had a strong relationship. However, new beginnings can lead to big changes.
Today was Jug's first day at Stonewall Prep. It was sad to see him leave Riverdale High but this was an opportunity he couldn't pass up. The drive to the school wasn't as dreadful as I imagined. I had offered to drive while Jughead read excerpts from our favorite books using funny voices.
"Wow look at the design of the building" Jughead gasped as we pulled into the cobblestone drive of the school. The stone building pushed down on the earth shooting chills up my spine. Something unexpected laid behind the wooden doors. I just had to find out what.
All my worries were soon washed away when the sun dipped down on the school and a golden face stepped through the front doors.
"Welcome to Stonewall Prep" the voice boomed onto the open land. The face belonged to a tall boy with golden hair and skin, his mouth held an abstract shape and his eyes held back many secrets.
"Come on Betty," Jug urged with excitement. I was shaken out of my daze and leapt out of the car to meet the boy on the steps.
"Nice to meet you newcomers," the boy chuckled and my eyes met his. "I'm Bret...And you are".
"I'm-"
"This is Betty, my girlfriend, and I'm Jughead" Jughead interrupted.
"So Forsythe, not going to let your pretty girl speak I see" I could see the anger and confusion grow on Jug's face.
"Don't" Jug spoke sternly, "and how do you know my name...".
"Well you see...Jughead...me and you.. we're roommates, let me show you around" the golden hair boy stepped into the grand school and Jughead followed. A cold breeze shook me as I entered the building.
"Wow this place is so big" I exclaimed. Jughead smiled down at me and pulled me to his side.
"I don't think we'll see the whole thing today Ponytail but me and you can go exploring next time" Bret smirked. Normally the nickname Ponytail would have angered me but this time I kind of liked it.
"I think we should just go to the room, Betty needs to be getting home. HER and I can look around ourselves next time" Jughead muttered.
"Cool down Forsythe the room's right around the corner"
"It's Jughead" Jug corrected as we entered the dorm. The room was large but you wouldn't know because Bret's belongings were scattered out everywhere leaving only a bed and desk empty.
"I'll leave you guys alone" Bret winked before exiting the room.
"What's with that guy?" Jug spat out the second the door shut. "I don't like him"
"Really..I think if you hadn't been so grumpy you may have seen him differently" I speculated. Jughead grunted and fell onto the bed. "Oh come on Jug. You know you have nothing to worry about, I love you. Now come on it's the first day be excited, make new friends" Juhead slugged off the bed and wrapped his arms around me.
"Anything for you" he whispered into my ear.
"Bye, Jug" I smiled slipping out of the room and blowing one last kiss. It seemed today was better for me then Jug but something still felt off. As I made my way out the grand entrance of the school my attention was drawn to Bret leaning against the hood of my car.
"Nice car Ponytail" he smiled.
"Thank you" I sweetly replied. "What are you doing out here?" I questioned. It seemed odd he would be waiting at my car but I wasn't mad about it to say the least.
"I thought we could chat without the overbearing company of beanie boy" Bret smirked.
"His name is Jughead" I defended, if it wasn't for that snarky nickname I would of considered staying to chat.
"Sorry" Bret sighed.
"I should get going" I replied. Bret wasn't the nicest today but something about him told me he wasn't a bad person.
"See you soon" he waved as I began to drive away.
"Bye Bret" I sighed playfully.
