Riverdale High

Chapter 1

I'm Morgan, right now I'm attending Riverdale High, a school in Riverdale, New York. I go to this school with my four best friends: Poppy, Alice, Minty and Emily. Poppy is my closest friend and although we've only known each other for a little over 3 years, we are inseparable. Believe me the rest of my friends have tried to separate us for at least more than an hour and it failed. Dramatically.

Riverdale, is one of those classic high schools. Of course with it being a classic high school it has to have its equivalent of Regina George, Gretchen Wieners and Karen Smith. What else would Riverdale be without the infamous Ashley, Lillie and Millie. These three girls, make the four of our lives a living hell. In some shape or form. Whether it's kicking us into a trash can or throwing insults across the classroom.

So minus all of the inconsiderate specks of blonde hair and toothpick bodies, Riverdale, is the best that we can get. It's not that bad, but it's very separated and everyone has a group and everyone stays in their groups. We like to think of our group as the only group that is normal. Poppy is a theatrical maniac, Minty is an Artistic and Mathematical prodigy, Alice is a little angel that finds everything cute and Emily is the sports champion and I'm the glue. The glue that will keep us together until "death do us part".

I'm not very well known for anything in my little group, I don't really have a recognizable trait, I just keep the peace, watch over everyone. But I'm fine with that, as long as my friends talk to me.

First class, Drama. The ear-deafening bell rung in my head. I began to make my way over to the Drama block.

"Morgs!" I turned my head and to no surprise I saw Poppy "wait up!" She sprinted over towards me, her ginger curls bouncing as she ran over. She was wearing a floral blouse and jeans.

We then continued on, then I heard to voices "Morgs! Pops!" I turned around to see Alice and Emily. Alice was wearing a pair of denim shorts and a t-shirt that said "I ❤️ cute things!", Emily was wearing her usual outfit. Sports leggings so bright that they could land a cargo plane and an Adidas tank top and matching sweatshirt.

They met up with us, Emily beating Alice by a far margin. Then we came across Minty. She has just been bumped into and dropped her books. She bent down trying to pick up her books, her hair was always neatly tied up, not even a single piece of hair was sticking out. I walked over to her and helped her tidy up.

"Better?" I asked as I put the last text book in her hands

"Much better! Now I can get back to my pre-u maths work."

"I wouldn't get yourself sucked into that, we have to go to Drama or else Miss Day will murder us and we won't see another day."

She put her folders away into her locked, which was pristine clean, taped on the inside door of her locker was all of the artwork she had done, and all of the maths and work she had to finish. Minty and I joined up with Poppy, Alice and Emily and we headed over to Drama.

As we entered the Drama block and headed into classroom DS1, I turned to Alice, Emily and Minty we all simultaneously counted. "3, 2, 1"

"Good morning Miss Day!" Poppy yelled at the top of her lungs

"Good morning Poppy, my little star!" Said Miss Day in an equally loud tone

"GOOD MORNING MISS DAY!" I yelled across the room imitating Poppy's voice

"Some silence would be nice Mrs Lepidilova." She said frowning at me

"It's Lepi-dlo-va." I snapped back

You may be wondering why in the world I had the weirdest surname, I'm actually half American and half Slovakian. The rest of the have fairly normal surnames: Poppy Achte, Emily Sprinte, Alice Haylo and Minty Paente. Teachers were always struggling to try and pronounce my name correctly, but it always resulted in me correcting them. All the time.

Drama was finally over, and as usual we all had to wait by the door while Poppy and Miss Day were chatting as if they were both the same age. I mean what did they find so interesting about each other?

"Finally!" I said as Poppy came out of the door "you decided to come out, never thought you'd leave."

"You guys shouldn't be so rude, she's nicer than all of you put together." She said, I could see tears forming in her eyes. I nodded to the girls and mouthed keep walking, something's up Emily immediately understood and took the rest of them to the main hall.

"Pops, what's up?" I asked casually

"What do you mean?" She asked, I could tell hat she was now choking back on her tears, I just took her into an embrace and I felt the tears fall down her face.

"Gross, you're getting snot all over my amazing ACDC T-shirt." I said, laughing slightly

She pulled away and gave me a smile, as if to say I'm ok but I knew she wasn't, I could tell.

"You gonna tell me what's up?" I asked, this was obviously something she didn't want me to know.

"T-Troye dumped me." She cried

"What? Why?" I asked, I asked I was so shocked, they were like soulmates.

"He came out." She cried

"Oh." I said, there was always something about Troye that got us thinking really? He's straight? But we never said anything to Poppy because that's what friends are for, to protect. At least that what I think.

"Poppy, I'm definitely sure that there is someone out there who's dream girl is exactly like you." I said

"Aww Morgs your so sweet."

"Would you look at that." I said pointing towards the door.

A tall boy, strode in. I had never seen him around the school before so I assumed that he was new. He had his backpack slung over his shoulder, his boots made a loud noise every time he took a step. Suddenly, he turned and stared at Poppy. Right in the eyes! This was her new guy, and I definitely think we won't have to worry about him not being straight.

I was walking to class and I saw Chris. "Hey!" I said running up to him,

"Hey baby," he replied "how are you?"

"Good and you?" I replied

"Amazing now that your here, I hear that Pops is talking to Bucky."

"Pucky I ship it!" I said

He laughed and smiled "I gotta go to class, Miss Wilkinson."

"Don't even mention her, I don't want to make you any later. Bye!"

"Bye, girls and boys night?"

"Definitely!" I said

"See if 'Bucky' can come along" he smiled

I walked over to retrieve Poppy from her dream guy and dragged her to the changing rooms to get ready for sport.
