Sweet Pea & Malachai | Mind Games

CHAPTER ONE

''Riverdale's best and brightest, huh?''Alice said as me my brother and our friends were seated in her living room.

''Alice, thank you for hosting,''

''Of course, Mayor McCoy.When I heard what happened, I decided we should come together to deal with this motley crew of liars, dope friends, and fornicators. Except for my Betty, who was smart enough to leave the party before it was a bacchanalian free-for-all.'' I laughed under my breath. Of course Betty the perfect. I always hated her. 

''Oh, my God. Mom, please don't.'' Betty tried to stop her mother from getting her friends in trouble but annoyed Veronica cut her off by quite mumbling to Archie ''Great. Here we go. Saint Betty and Succubus Veronica.'' 

''Just for clarity, Alice, you are hosting this little get-together to gloat?'' Fred asked.

''You know I may have taken jingle-jangle, but she had a psychotic break.'' Veronica continued to mumble to Archie. ''Cut her some slack, Veronica. She just broke up with Jughead.''Archie answered trying to reason her actions.

''Hashtag ''Bughead is no more''? and Betty didn't tell me?'' My brother asked a little hurt that she didn't tell him that she and Jughead aren't together anymore.

''Aghm''Alice cleared her throat  getting annoyed by the whispering

''Careful throwing stones there, acid-queen Alice. I am not the only one that knows the story behind that mug shot that your daughter printed in her paper.''Hiram said smirking

''Well I, for one, would like to know who brought the jingle-jangle to the party.'' Hermoine asked.

After a few seconds of silence, Reggie raised his hand but Melinda Mantle was quick to grab his hand and said almost like yelling ''Reginald, not a single word out of your mouth until we get a lawyer.'' but Hiram interrupted her 

''All Reggie needs to tell us, Melinda is how he acquired it.''

''Some gang member who deals no the Southside.''Reggie said quietly almost like a whisper

''You have a dealer?'' His mom yelled ashamed and disappointed in him.

''Once again, mayor, the Southside is the source of all our problems.''Hiram said.

''Is he a Serpent? Does he go to Southside High?''Dad asked. I scoffed. Of course, they would think that the dealer is a Serpent.

''I think so. ''Reggie answered

''Does it matter?''Archie said.

''Not all Serpents are dealers. ''I said trying to defend the Serpents.

''Archie, Haley, not helping.' 'Fred said.

''We shouldn't have taken the JJ, but Nick asked Reggie to get it and then pushed it on us. He should be in the hot seat. He's the one who roofied Cheryl...''Veronica said blaming Nick for that night 
''Prosecuting him would be difficult, given that all witnesses were high.''Sheriff Keller said.

''Josie and I saw Nick with Cheryl the night after the party and Neither of us were on jingle-jangle.''She tried to reason but with no success.

''The drug stays in your system for three days. If I drug-tested you right now, you'd have a credibility problem.''My dad said getting tired of Veronica's pointless rant.

''Josie, you took that drug? You put that poison in your system knowing the way your father struggled with addiction?'' Sierra MacCoy yelled at her daughter disappointed and angry and Josie just looked at the ground ashamed of her actions.

''I see. From this moment on, bringing the Southside under control is my number one priority. If it means razing it to the ground or arresting every single Serpent insight, starting at that high school, so be it.''' The mayor said angrily then looked at Josie and said. ''Let's go, Josephine. Now.'' her daughter imminently obeyed and they left.''

When they left I and Archie looked at each other. We knew who was in Southside high and we needed to get him out of there now. With that, we started running towards the school to get Jughead out of there before it was too late.

After 15 minutes of running, we finally got there and Archie texted him. After a minute or two of waiting, he finally saw him.

''Jug! Jug. We gotta go, right now.''Archie said panting still exhausted from the running.

''What are you doing here? Betty asked you to throw salt in the wound?''

''Mayor McCoy's about to raid Southside High. We gotta get you out.''I said yelling but confused because of a burning feeling. We heard a loud door bang and saw the mayor with my dad next to her and a bunch of other cops behind them.

Archie grabbed him and we started running toward the door so we could get out of here. Before we could get out Jughead started shouting someone's name ''Toni!'' 

''Hey, Jug, you wanna help her? You can't do that from behind bars. Come on!'' Archie told him. Finally, he stopped yelling and started running towards the back door.

We finally got out of the school but I was still confused about that feeling
