Betty Cooper (preview)
The visitor’s locker room was almost silent, the smell of sweat and victory still hanging in the air. Betty stood in the hall, pulling her ponytail tighter, trying to work up the nerve. She never expected to lose that bet. Nobody did. Fourteen-point underdogs? Come on. Lose to Southside High? It was supposed to be a joke. Trash talk. Something to make the game interesting.
Now, Riverdale was humiliated, and she was about to be too. At least, that’s what she thought as she slipped inside.
Jake, the Southside High QB, was already waiting, arms crossed, in just his boxers, his helmet, pads, and uniform tossed aside.
He grinned when he saw her—a cocky, self-assured smile that made her roll her eyes. He wasn’t bad looking, she guessed, just another jock, another notch for her post-game stories.
“Can't believe you actually came,” he said, voice a mix of disbelief and anticipation.
“A bet’s a bet,” she shot back. “... and I never renege on a bet.”
He stepped closer, looking her up and down. “You sure you’re ready for this, Betty? For me?”
She huffed. “You’re not the first guy I’ve had to... make good on a bet with.”
He just smirked. “Maybe not. But I promise, you’ll never forget me.”
