Chapter 2

You and Kevin walked up to the table where Veronica had set up everything for the Southside transfer students. You and Kevin looked at each other, already reading each other's minds. This looked so lame.

They then walked through the door, everybody stopping what they're doing to watch them. You took a step forward, but Kevin stopped you. "What are you doing?"

"I'm going to say hi to Jughead?" You furrowed your brows.

"Are you crazy?! There are Serpents over there!"

"Just a bit, Kev." You moved his hand, proceeding.

"Y/n you do not want to step on a snake's boundaries!"

You turned back to look at Kevin and start visibly stomping. "Y/n!"

You giggled and turned around, looking at Jughead and the other Serpents. You then outstretched your arms. "Welcome back Jug."

He hugged back. "Thanks Y/n."

"New jacket?" You teased.

"Yup." He answered seriously. You laughed. Sweet Pea was listening to this and smirked. At least not everyone would be perfect and boring here.

Veronica stood from her seat and smiled. She then was explaining everything about the school that can help them out.

"This is so cringe." You whispered to Kevin.

"I thought I was the only one."

"I love Ronnie and all, but maybe we shouldn't have let the most known rich girl introduce Riverdale High." You two both looked at each other, and started to quietly laugh.

Sweet Pea saw you smile and was intrigued for some reason. You seemed like a fun person, and didn't seem to care that they were Serpents from that jacket joke.

He was snapped out of his thoughts from everybody turning their heads to see Cheryl and Reggie with some River Vixens coming down the stairs. "I'm sorry, but I will not tolerate these people to attend our school. These halls are clean and are not troublesome, and we don't need our school GPA to go down because of some... underachievers."

You rolled your eyes. Here we go again.

Archie steps up. "Stop it guys. Can't we just start over? Clean slate?"

Reggie interjects. "Uh, you don't speak for the bulldogs, Andrews. And need I remind you that these Southside scum came and showed up at your house looking for a fight?"

Sweet Pea had enough. "Happy to finish what we started."

"Okay I am over the toxic masculinity in this room."

Reggie still looks like he's ready to start a fight. "Watch yourself."

This was when you had enough and stepped up. "Reggie, calm down. I know puppies are really territorial and nobody cares if you piss all over the football field to mark your territory, but you need to chill out with the Serpents because literally they just walked through a door."

Sweet Pea was surprised by this outburst. You didn't even know them, and yet you were defending them. He just wanted to hear more out of you.

The group glared at you, as if it were a challenged. You then turned to Kevin shaking your head. "Stray dogs, am I right?"

They then all angrily walked away. "Oh. My God. Y/n! Your mouth is going to get you into serious trouble one day." Kevin exclaimed. You looked at him and gave him a cheeky grin in return. All of that was so incredibly attractive to Sweet Pea.

Later on the Serpents headed to the school library so Jughead can introduce his old friends to them. "This is Veronica." Veronica stood up and introduced herself again and made a comment on how amazing the different culture Riverdale will now have.

"You guys know Archie." Archie simply waved. "This is Betty." She excitedly smiled at them. Just then, you came in and sat down next to Kevin. Suddenly Sweet Pea just got more interested in Jughead's friends. "That's Kevin."

Fangs took notice in him. "You dated Juaquin, right."

"Uh, yeah." Kevin nervously said.

"He talked about you a lot."

Kevin was in his own thoughts until he turned to see you grinning at him. "Y/n shut up." He mumbled.

"And that's Y/n."

You looked around, locking eyes with Sweet Pea for a second. You blushed and looked away. You wondered why that guy was staring at you so intensely. "Hey guys." You said, a little quieter than you meant.

Fangs looked closely at you. "Do I know you from somewhere?"

You were starting to get a little nervous. You didn't think anyone would still remember you. "I work at Pop's."

"Nah, from somewhere else."

"I don't think so." You smiled. You and Jughead gave each other a look. The memories are too painful for you to bring out. And besides, if students got wind of your past, they would find ways to torment you about it.

After school you headed to Pop's. You went to the back and put on your red pants and yellow Pop's shirt. You went to the front to see FP starting his shift as well. "Hey FP."

"Hey Y/n." He smiled. Jughead and FP was the only one who knew about your past, not including your dad. But he was far away from you now, so you didn't have to worry about him. FP was like a father figure to you. "How was Jughead's first day back?"

"He seems more angsty that usual." You said, wiping off the counter. "Most at Riverdale High don't want the serpents there."

He sighed, hearing a ding from where Pops was cooking. He grabbed the food and served it to some people at a booth. "That boy's pride is going to get him into some trouble."

Meanwhile, Jughead, Tony and Fangs were all intrigued from hearing Sweet Pea ask about you. "What's up with that y/n girl?"

"What about her?"

"What's she like?" Everyone teasingly looked at him and started laughing. "Shut up." He growled. "I just thought it was cool how she stood up for the Serpents. And she seems pretty funny too."

Jughead nodded. "She's not afraid to speak her mind. She'll say whatever she wants if she thinks it's necessary. If she's not defending you, she's making you laugh. She's also the nicest person you'll ever meet. I used to take Jellybean to her house when my parents were arguing. She's like a sister to me."

Sweet Pea nodded, smiling to himself as he thought of you. If you knew Jellybean, then that would mean you've been on the Southside. If you and Jughead were friends, that means that you didn't have a problem with the Southside.

"What's got you thinking?" Toni asked. "You debating whether to date a Northsider or not?"

"No." He glared at her. "I just think we should thank her for standing up to us."

"Okay." Jughead said. "Let's go then. I'm hungry anyway." Everyone was confused, until Jughead clarified, "She said she works at Pop's, remember?"

When they got there they found you and FP talking to each other while working. You said something, causing FP to laugh and shake his head.

They sat down at a booth, Sweet Pea looking nervous. They made him sit on the outside so that he could be closer to her when she comes. "Maybe your fingers will touch." Fangs teased.

FP saw them sit down, about to head towards them when Jughead made eye contact with him and shook his head. He stopped, confused, when Jughead nodded his head towards you. He was still confused, until Jughead then nodded his head towards Sweet Pea, who was tapping his foot and had his head lowered. FP then understood, and nodded his head no. He was a little protective of you. Jughead mouthed the word please.

FP frustratedly breathed out through his nose. He then turned to you. "Hey, I'm gonna go clean up those booths. Could you serve them?"

"Sure." You grabbed menus and went to the table. "What's up Jug?"

"Not much. But Sweet Pea has something he wants to tell you." He smiled. Toni snorts.

"What is it?" You smiled, looking at him.

"Uh, I just wanted to say thank you for sticking up for us, at school. It was pretty cool and funny." He looked stiff.

"No problem. Reggie's talks a big game to make himself seem cooler. And don't worry about Cheryl. I'm pretty sure it's all that red lipstick that's controlling her mouth." The other three laughed, while Sweet Pea gave you a side smile. "So, drinks?"

They ordered their milkshakes. You went to the back and made them, bringing them to their table. "Hope you like them. I made them myself."

"What?!" Jughead was shocked. "That's a family recipe. Everytime I asked Pop he always denied it, saying that it was one of the most biggest secrets of his."

You playfully shrugged. "I guess I just have that effect on people. Right FP?"

FP walked by to give some food to another booth, a smile on his face when saying, "Jughead, listen to your sister."

You giggled at Jughead's face reaction. You held up your pen and notepad. "So what would you guys like to eat?"

You took their orders and served them their food. After that you went on your break and sat with them. You talked and joked with them. Everything was good, until your stomach started to grumble really loud. You mentally slapped yourself. You forgot to go food shopping, and haven't eaten anything all day.

Sweet Pea slid his plate across the table to you. "Eat."

"Oh, no it's okay-"

"No it's not. You're hungry right? Eat."

You never really cared for people's looks. A person could be good looking, but an asshole at the same time. But Sweet Pea being kind enough to give his food to you made him a lot more attractive to you.

"It's okay y/n, I get it. I'm starving too." Jughead said next to you.

"Really Jug? What plate number is that? I think I just watched you eat a whole ass cow's worth of burgers." You said, munching on some fries.

After you finished the fries you went back to work. Sweet Pea had asked the three to stay and wait for your shift to be done, so that's what they did.

After you finished your shift Jughead said, "We're going to the Whyte Wyrm. We'll see you around."

"Have fun!" Sweet Pea just couldn't muster up the balls to ask you out. As he was walking for the door, he felt a hand lightly grab his arm. He turned around to see you, looking smaller compared to him this close. "Thanks for the fries. If you want I could pay you-"

"Nah, it's fine. You were hungry. You should take better care of yourself so you don't get that hungry." Sweet Pea just wanted to punch himself for saying that. He figured he must have sounded like he was nagging or something.

You blushed and smiled. "Will do. But I still feel bad. Is there anything I could do for you?"

He mustered up all the courage he had and smirked. "You could come to the Whyte Wrym with me."

"Right now?"

"Yeah."

"Okay." Sweet Pea felt extremely proud from the quick response.

You two walked outside to his motorcycle. "You're a safe driver right?" You felt a little nervous.

"Only the best." He laughed a bit. "It's okay. All you gotta do is hold onto me."

"Okay." You said quietly. He got on and nodded for you to climb on too. You got on and wrapped your arms around Sweet Pea.

He revved up the bike, and you instantly tightened your grip. You felt his body shake with laughter. "Ha ha." You said over the motor. As you guys took off, you put your head to rest on Sweet Pea's back. You liked the feeling of the wind hitting you.

It would be nice to see the Southside again. It's been about four years since you moved out of the Southside. Nobody has to know that you lived there, or more importantly why you moved. It was too painful, and you knew that if you let your secret out, the people of the Northside won't look at you the same way again.
