Bad boy Jughead keeps embarrassing himself every time town sweetheart Betty Cooper is around
Thanks for dropping by, @gay-for-rey1999 . I finally finished your prompt and I hope I’ve done it justice!
Blonde Ponytails And Leather Jackets
Bughead AU: There is no Black Hood, Jason Blossom was never murdered, and Jughead Jones had always been a Southside Serpent. He was never friends with any of the Northsiders.
It was a hot afternoon and all the students in Mr. Calpone’s class were sweaty and tired. Not to mention bored. Jughead Jones was editing an article for Southside High’s school newspaper, the Red & Black. He looked up from his work for a minute to take a look around the room. Sweet Pea was sitting with his feet propped up on the desk, busy tearing up paper to make spit wads. Toni Topaz was sitting next to Jughead, playing with her pink hair. Most of the other students were on their phones, or napping.
“Okay, guys. Listen up,” Mr. Calpone said, clapping his hands. “Southside High is doing a student exchange program with Riverdale High as part of the town’s collaborative society scheme.
“We’ll be hosting fifteen Riverdale High students for a few weeks so that they can see what school is like here in the Southside. Fifteen of you will be assigned to give them the tour and help them over the course of this program. From your class, Ellen, you have Ethel Muggs. Starke, you have Midge Klump. And Toni, you have Elizabeth Cooper.”
Toni groaned loudly but Mr. Calpone just ignored her.
“The students will be coming here tomorrow so I want you all to be kind to them and actively participate in making their stay enjoyable.”
A few kids started to snicker. Mr. Calpone sighed.
“Just don’t do anything stupid, guys.”
The bell rang and the students ran out of the class. Toni’s shoulders slumped as she walked.
“Why is it always me that gets stuck with tours for new students?”
“Because,” Sweet Pea answered, putting his arm around her shoulder. “You’re such a nice and lovable person with a great personality.” He and Fangs started to guffaw, and Toni swatted his arm.
“What was the girl’s name again? Elizabeth something?”
“Cooper.” It was Jughead who spoke up. “I’m guessing she’s Alice Cooper’s daughter.”
“Great,” Toni sighed. “I’m stuck with the daughter of the monster who prints shit about us in that newspaper.”
Southside High. A school that required you to go through a metal detector before you were permitted to enter. It was a very dingy place, and gave off an unwelcoming vibe. Graffiti plastered the walls, and no one had even made an effort to cover it up. The walls were gray, which matched the gloomy atmosphere. Southsiders loitered in the hallways, eyeing the Northsiders who were on their turf.
Betty Cooper shivered. She felt uncomfortable under their hostile stares as she and the fourteen other Riverdale High students made their way to the office. She wished she could have avoided coming but her mother thought that it was a good opportunity to dig a little deeper in the Jingle Jangle case.
“Betty, look,” Kevin whispered to her, nodding his head in the direction of a group of menacing teens. There were about eight or nine of them, all wearing black leather jackets. As one of the boys turned around, Betty saw the large snake embroidered onto the back of his jacket. Southside Serpents. Riverdale’s infamous criminal gang lead by the notorious FP Jones. They were people you did not want to mess with. Betty wasn’t afraid of them though. Her mother had taught her that they were not people to be feared as it would only give them power over her.
One of the Serpents caught her staring at them. He raised an eyebrow at her, challenging her to say something. Betty quickly looked away, her cheeks flushing. She took a quick glance back and saw the Serpent watching her, his gaze unnerving. He was devastatingly handsome, Betty realized with a shock. He had gorgeous black curls, a chiseled face, and intense blue eyes.
“Betty,” Kevin nudged her arm, pulling her out of her thoughts. Betty craned her neck to see Southside High’s principal, a tall, broad-shouldered man named Mr. DeVilio, smiling at them.
“Welcome to Southside High,” he said in a deep tone. “We’re excited to have you here and we hope that you feel welcome in our Southside family. Without further ado, let’s get you your schedules and show you around.”
Betty picked up her own schedule and looked around at the Southside High students waiting for them.
“Elizabeth Cooper?” a voice behind Betty asked. She turned around to see a cinnamon-skinned girl with pink hair, looking at her.
“That’s me,” Betty said smiling. The girl looked….. friendly enough.
“I’m Toni Topaz,” the girl said. “I’m giving you the tour.”
“Great,” Betty said. “And it’s just Betty.”
Toni gave her a small smile. “Sure, yeah.”
She turned around and Betty inhaled sharply. Toni was wearing a Serpent jacket.
Wonderful, Betty thought. I’m being given the tour by a Serpent.
