"Huh, whawazzah" I snorted as loud knocking woke me up. I realized it was knocking at the door. I turned over to my side to look at the clock, it was 10:34 in the morning, "Who could be at the door," I said scowling at the sunlight.

I slid my feet into my slippers and relentlessly went to see who decided to interrupt my beauty rest. I opened the door to see Dilton Doiley standing at my front door, smiling, "Oh, Dilton," I said rubbing my forehead. "Good morning, Rosalie," Dilton chimed. "It's just...Rose," I stared at him, "Why're you here so early?" "I figured an early start is better," He said. “Start?” I said with my eyebrows raised.

“You asked me to help you with homework,” He cocked his head to the side. "Oh yeah..." I felt dumb, I sighed, "Come on in." "Of course," Dilton walked inside. I have a thing for being unattractively clumsy and forgetting the simplest things. Those are some reasons why I'm single to this day. On the bright side though, I can dress and I'm kinda cute.

"Want some lemonade? It's fresh," I said pointing to the kitchen. "Sure," He smiled. "Cool," I said walking into the kitchen. "D-D'you have a date..." Dilton said nervously scratching his head. "A date?" I said frowning. "T-To the dance, the dance that's tomorrow night," He laughed. "Ooh, I totally forgot," I said squinting my eyes, "...Nope." "Oh, that's too bad. A girl as beautiful as you should always have a date," He said bashfully. "I agree," I said placing the glasses of lemonade on coasters. "I don't have a date either," He said staring at the ice-cold glasses. I crinkled my nose, "Aw, why?" "I asked Betty, she's going with Jughead, Veronica's going with Archie, Josie said no, Cheryl's too scary," He said fiddling with his hands. I felt bad, "Jeez." It got quiet for a few seconds, I didn't know what to say. "Yeah. I was thinking though..." He said taking his glasses off. "Hm?" "Since you don't have a date, and I don't have a date...could you...I dunno, go with me?" He said before jumping up, "If you say no, then it's completely fine-" I felt really bad, the poor guy was lonely. I didn't have a date because I completely forgot about the dance, "I'd love to." "I won't force-" He kept apologizing before pausing in shock, "What?" "I'd love to go with you, Dilton." A huge smile crept across his face, "Oh my god...I don't know what to say..." "Go home, I'll do the homework on my own," I smiled. He was so overly excited, he ran out the door like a man that just got happily married. I'm not even gonna lie to you guys, I didn't wanna go with Dilton. I still have thoughts about Sweet Pea, constantly. I'm just forcing myself to not like him. Yes, yes it is very difficult. Did I tell you that he goes to Riverdale High? I try to avoid him giving that Archie goes there too and I love my brother more than anything. But he’s been on tough ends with Sweet Pea, it's becoming repetitive. Oh, oh, did I tell you what happened the other day? Oh, brother.

A few days ago.

I was at my locker getting a few textbooks for upcoming classes when someone slammed my locker shut, "How 'bout we skip school." I looked up to see Sweet Pea hovering over me, "No, thanks." "Everybody in the school knows that Rose can't get Sweet Pea off her mind," He played with my hair. I frowned, "Don't you have a gang to be with or something," I snatched my hair from him, "And stop touching me." He laughed, "I do, but I couldn't have passed up the opportunity to get under your skin." That made my face crinkle, "Oh?" "And guess what..." He said leaning in on me, "...I know how you feel about me, you can't hide it, Rosebush. It's obvious that you love every second of me tormenting you." I narrowed my eyes at him as he talked in a low, raspy, seductive tone, "I do not," I lied. He smiled, "Whatever you say. We all see how red you get when I come around." I stared into his eyes, "...I hate you," I pushed him away from me. "Do you really? Or do you hate how much you love me," He laughed. "Hey!" Archie shouted from the other end of the hall, walking towards us. I started to leave to avoid drama before Sweet Pea pulled me in and kissed me. I was in total shock as his lips pressed against mine. It felt weird to finally kiss someone but I...liked it. Archie pushed Sweet Pea, "What did I tell you?!" Sweet Pea pushed Archie into a locker. That caused attention to be drawn. Serpents poured from every which way and stood their grounds for Sweet Pea. Veronica, Betty, Reggie, and Kevin stood around Archie. I stood in the middle still halfway in shock about the kiss, "Archie!" "Hush, Rose!" "Archie, it's not worth it," Reggie scowled at the Serpents. Veronica wrapped her arms around me, "Are you okay, Rosie?" Her warm embrace comforted me even though I was the slightest mad, "Yeah," I smiled at her, still rubbing my lips wishing they were still locked with Sweet Pea's. "These northerners aren't worth our time, Sweet Pea," Fangs eyed everyone. "Guys," Jughead said trying to not pick sides. Sweet Pea stared down at Archie as they had a staring contest, "Don't ever test your luck like that again, Andrews," he said clenching his jaw. Archie just stared at him with a death stare. Sweet Pea looked at me, still clenching his jaw, he reached his hand out to me. I was confused, I almost reached out when Veronica gripped on me, "Leave her alone." He walked away with the serpents, not without casually bumping Archie on the way. I felt like it was my fault but they're totally beefing about something that's NOT my fault. "Archie, relax," Betty said. "Rose, you don't see it do you," Archie stood in front of me. "See what? We were just talking," I said. "Talking with a kiss? Sure, He's trying to play you," Archie shook his head. "He is not, how do you know?" "Because I do!" He said before walking away. I leaned against my locker, thinking about that kiss. It was sensational and awkward at the same time. Why did he do that? Those thoughts run through my head daily, I can't get him off my mind no matter how much I try.

"Betts, it's like, I don't even know myself anymore," I said, chucking her a bag of chips.

She caught it, "You need to relax. Seriously. You're so worked up." "He kissed me!" "You liked it," Veronica winked at me. I blushed, "I did not,” I lied. "Yeah, right,your face is all red," Betty laughed. "I just...I feel like I've known him all my life," I said sinking into the chair. "I know that feeling," Veronica said. "I bet. I can't say, but...it's almost as if it was love at first sight," I said contemplating on it.

“That'll be weird though, Rosie, you and him," Veronica said. "Would not. He's sweet in his own way," I half-smiled. Veronica was right, it would be weird for me and Sweet Pea to date. He's a gang member beefing with my brother. I'm your average town girl.

Rose’s Dress

"You look beautiful," Archie said standing in my doorway. He startled me, "Thanks." We didn't speak much, I was preparing for Dilton to pick me up. I wore a red backless bodycon dress with my hair in a slick bun to the back. I also wore the heels my mom gave me a while ago for a date that wasn't successful. I looked at myself in the mirror while applying red lipstick to my lips, I agreed with Archie, I looked really nice. My red hair and freckles complemented the entire look. My green eyes sparkled as I admired myself, "Don't screw this up, Rose," I told myself. "I'm sorry about everything that's been going on," He eventually spoke up. I smiled, "It's fine Arch." "I just don't want you to be hurt," He said with a crack in his voice. "I know, I get how you feel. You have to trust me on some things though," I rubbed his shoulder. He hugged me, we never argued as much as we were for the past few days, I felt like our relationship was tearing apart. I heard a knock at the door, "That's Dilton," I laughed. "See you there," Archie said walking me downstairs. "My princess," Dad said smiling, "Tell Dilton I'll break his little neck if-" "Dad!" I crinkled my nose. He burst out laughing, "I'm kidding." "You don't have to worry about Dilton, he's a sweetheart either way," I said. I opened the door, revealing Dilton with a tuxedo on, holding a bouquet of red roses and a box of chocolates, "W-Wow," I giggled, "Dilton, you shouldn't have." "I wanted to make this very special," He said. He grabbed my hand and we walked to his little mo-pad. He gave me a helmet and I put it on gently, avoiding my hair getting ruined. I thought about how embarrassing it would be to drive to a school dance in a mo-ped but I accepted it. Dilton deserved it. I sat on the mo-ped sideways, "Be careful!" My dad shouted from the door. I held onto Dilton as we drove through Riverdale, the wind caressing my face. When we got to the school parking lot, there were tons of cars and people rushing to get inside. Dilton held my hand, I realized he was shorter than me with or without the heels. We went to the gymnasium where the dance was being held, "May I have this dance?" Dilton said. "Of course," I said as he placed both hands on my hips, I wrapped my arms around his shoulders.

We slowly danced to the music, it was an awkward silence though. He just stared at me, with a look of pure awe. I burst out laughing, "What?" "You're just really pretty," He said fixing his glasses. "Am I? Thanks," I said blushing. He quickly nudged me off of him, "My glasses are getting all foggy," He snorted. I giggled, "It's fine. How about we go sit?" "Sure." We sat at an unoccupied table and Dilton got us some fruit punch. I gasped when I saw a group of people wearing leather jackets walked into the gymnasium. I tried to hide my face, when Sweet Pea walked up to my table, "Well, well, well." "Sweet Pea, leave," I said as Dilton talked to Moose over by the snack table. "You look so good right now, I might have to take a bite," Sweet Pea said. He drew his lower lip between his teeth, pulling a chair to the table. "What do you want?" I said hoping that Dilton won't come over. "I came to see you, figured you'd be here," He said pressing his lips together. I sighed, "I'm here with Dilton. Please, just...we can talk later." "The little guy over there?" He pointed to Dilton who was laughing with his friends. I rolled my eyes, "M'yeah. He's little but he's sweet." Sweet Pea burst out in laughter, Dilton started walking over, "What's going on?" "Sweet Pea was just leaving," I scowled at him. He stood up, "Actually, I was wondering if I could take Rose for a moment..." Dilton smiled at Sweet Pea, "Sure." "Cool," Sweet Pea smirked while wrapping his arm around my shoulder. "What do you want," I said giving him a dirty look. He guided me through the gym doors, into a classroom, "Is there something you wanna tell me?" He gave me a lopsided grin while sitting in a chair backward. "What are you going at now?" I folded my arms. "You know what I'm going at," He said. I gritted my teeth, "Sweet Pea...I have to go," I began to leave, he grabbed me gently. "Maybe you should tell me what's wrong."

"Nothing's wrong," I looked away. His mouth twisted, "Oh? Don't pretend like you didn't enjoy that kiss." I began to pick at my nails, frowning my face, "I did, I loved it, it's just-" "Why're you acting like you don't like me then?" He said walking closer. "I'm not acting!" I stomped my foot, "I just...don't-" "Are you embarrassed? Is that it? A northerner girl has feelings for a southside Serpent, " His smile faded, "Rose, you and I could be better than anyone in Riverdale. I'm not the type to love but...you brought something out of me," Sweet Pea set his mouth in a hard line. I was speechless. He walked up to me, lifting my chin, slowly leaning in for a kiss. I went with it, pressing my lips against his. Our eyes were open, he was staring into my eyes with a meaning.

“Rose," Dilton said with a shocked look on his face, standing in the doorway. "Dilton," I jerked my head to his direction.
