Burn, Baby, Burn

In which Betty Cooper finds that all her actions have consequences.

————————————

She was Riverdale High School’s Resident mean girl. Every day, she took pride in torturing the other students, whether it be by insulting them, exposing them, or even physically harming them. She had her two friends: Veronica Cecilia Lodge and Cheryl Marjorie Blossom.

It was a bleak and dark Monday morning, and Betty spun her pencil in between her fingers as she thought about how much she would rather not be in math class. Veronica sat behind her, paying attention to the teacher, and Cheryl sat beside her, trying to pay attention but too exhausted to succeed.

Betty looked at her two friends and rolled her eyes. She hated how they always did this, always tried to one up her, trying to prove they were better. In her core, Betty knew she was the best. The best person a small town like Riverdale could have.

Before she knew it, class was over, and the three girls walked out together, heading to their designated lockers. They now had all their lockers side by side, after Betty had thrown a fit to Principal Weatherbee about it.

Betty stopped dead in her tracks when she saw what was written.

GO TO HELL, SERPENT SLUT was written in bold, dripping red letters on all three of their lockers across.

Betty’s heart crawled into her throat and she gasped, covering her mouth in shock. Veronica stayed still behind Betty, too afraid to even move. She had the irrational fear that something was going to jump out of the lockers and attack all three of them.

Cheryl tapped Betty’s shoulder, concerned that she had grown so quiet. Without so much as a muffled sob, Betty ran down the hall and to the nearest bathroom, throwing up in the toilet. She leaned back against the toilet wall, covering her mouth.

The sight was disgusting, and she wanted to wash the image out of her brain, but couldn’t. She choked on her own salty tears and took in a shaky breath, trying to calm herself down.

The door creaked open and the sound of heels were heard. Veronica walked in, knocking on Betty’s stall door.

“Betts?” She asked softly. “Are you okay in there?”

“Leave me alone,” Betty replied, coughing as she gagged again. Veronica slowly opened the door after finding it unlocked, taking a small step back once she saw Betty’s state.

“Oh, girl,” she said softly, sitting down next to her best friend. “Hey, it’s okay. I’m here.”

Betty burried her face in Veronica’s neck, sobbing silently. The raven haired girl held Betty tightly, stroking her back and hushing her.

Outside the bathroom, Cheryl could be seen smiling.
