Veronica: rich, glamorous, popular, and very very sought after.
Betty: the super girl next door who can beat Veronica in anything, except perhaps in shopping.
and winning Archie Andrews heart.
i don't like it. of course, that's reality. gold-diggers do exist, after all, although i hate to call Archie that. and the truth is, a lot of guys really do prefer those high maintenance, snobby girls. personally, i don't see the charm, but then, i'm not a guy.
or maybe it's because Betty has always been there for Archie: baking cakes and cookies for him, paying for their dates, etc. he took her for granted perhaps, or maybe he just doesn't like clingy girls. after all, teen girl magazines have always said guys like the thrill of the chase.
lesson of the story: girl, magpakipot ka.
