Two days later, I found myself in front of my vanity putting on makeup.
Veronica's masquerade party was tonight, which was where I intended to talk to her about everything.
Jughead was coming as my date, and even though we were technically going in disguise I was still happy that we were going as boyfriend and girlfriend.
I was wearing a silver (and very sparkly) dress with my hair down and my makeup on.
I had lied to my Mom and said that I was going to spend the rest of the night doing homework. Because I knew if she found out I was going to a party she wouldn't be the least bit happy about it.
Polly snuck out to go to parties all the time, so I didn't think I would get caught that easily.
I locked the door and climbed out my window and onto the ladder, climbing down it slowly.
Once I made it down to the ground I turned to see Jughead.
He was wearing a blazer and a tie, though he still kept his signature beanie on and held his masquerade mask in his hand.
"You sure dressed up," I told him.
He looked me up and down, and his jaw dropped a little.
"Woah" he whispered, "you look....amazing."
I blushed "Thanks."
Jughead looked back into the distance, and I could tell that something was seriously bothering him.
We may have only been dating for less than a month, but I knew that we were growing closer each day.
When we first met, we only knew a few brief things about one another and then made out.
But now, we knew much more and when we kissed, I felt a real spark.
I could read Jughead better now, and that was why I could tell he looked so upset so easily.
"Is something wrong?" I asked, "you look, upset."
Jughead looked at me and then hesitated.
"It's nothing," he told me.
"It doesn't sound like nothing," I said taking a step closer to him.
"It's stupid. Really," he told me.
I cupped his cheeks "Jug, I promise I won't judge."
He sighed "it's just...my Dad and I aren't on good terms at the moment."
"Is he the leader of the Serpents?" I asked.
He nodded "and he wants me to become the next one."
I took my hands off his face and put them on my sides.
I hadn't put much thought into the future of Jughead and I's realtionship, but at that moment I began to.
