First-hour ends, Amayla, Betty, Veronica, and Kevin leave their class and they walk down the hallway together as a friend group for the first time during the beginning middle of the First Quarter.

Amayla felt proud of herself that she found new friends and finally found her standing. Until at the end of the hall.

A group of kids surrounded Cheryl Blossom as she served Diana Harris in attempting to take her captain position.

In the odd term of events, Diana made a huge fool of herself in front of the whole school thinking she won something she didn't fully own or control.

But the quickest way to interpret is this:
Colorado is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from Riverdale.

Mr. Weatherbee ends the conflict between Blossom & Harris as he makes everyone leave the halls for their next class. Amayla was about to comfort her sister but her figure disappeared within the crowd. Kevin puts his hand on Amayla's shoulder as a comfortable way to squash any negative thoughts she was feeling.

"Let's go," says Kevin. "You can talk to her later?"

Amayla nods as she walks with her three friends to her next class. Even though she sometimes couldn't stand Diana, Amayla loved her sister. With all the worries in her head, she decided to put them in a box and reopen it until she is ready.

Meanwhile in the boys' locker room stood the Bulldogs as they hit the showers after a long hour of football practice. Archie steps out of the shower and notices the guys left, including Mantle.

Andrews walks to his locker while drying off until he notices a person with a familiar set of pearls looped around her neck.

"What do want Veronica?" Archie asks as he wraps his towel around his waist.

"Relax Archiekins, you have nothing that I haven't seen before," Veronica replied. "I just stopped by to say Hi."

"In the boys' locker room? Yeah right. I'll ask again, what do you want Veronica?" Archie said.

Veronica sits on the bench as she crosses her legs and stares at Andrews.

"I have a proclamation for you Andrews," Veronica offered. "You like the new girl right? Amayla Harris?"

"Yeah, so?"

"So, I know that you and Reginald are having a feud over who gets to be with her. And your boy Mantle has already begun the race."

Archie shuts his locker and turns to look at Lodge. "Go on."

"I want to get back together with Reginald... He was the best thing after... our relationship. But, he likes Amayla. And she has become a good friend of mine so I don't want to crush her, I want to crush her relationship with Mantle."

Archie folds his arms as he interprets everything Veronica said in his mind. If he and Veronica could damage their starting friendship and future relationship, they can both get what they want out of this.

"You want Amayla and I want Reggie," Veronica continues. "If we work together, we can flip this situation to work for our benefit. I mean come on. A Good girl nerd with a former Playboy jock? It just doesn't sound right. But Amayla Harris with the all-time good boy of Riverdale Archie Andrews? It sounds.. almost too good to be true.~"

Archie looks at Veronica and thinks about the future he could have with Amayla. It sounds nice and sweet. Something he hadn't tasted in a long time since Veronica.

"And if this works," Archie asks as he sits down next to Veronica and stares at her. "No one will know... right?"

"Not a peep out of me Archiekins," Veronica replies. "So, what do you say?"

Archie looks around the locker room. Empty like ice.

"You got yourself a deal, Lodge."
