Only Angel [FP Jones x OC]

Twenty One

After lunch, and school, Cheryl walked with Seline out to the parking lot. 

"So Ms. Grundy..." 

"Is practically a pedophile, praying on young, supple teenage boys from here to god knows where." The redhead flipped her hair behind her shoulder.

"Poor Archie." Seline looked back over her shoulder to the supple sophomore redhead. Cheryl hid a roll of her eyes, agreeing with Seline's pitiful statement. 

"Yes, yes, poor Archie. I hope he bounces back." She tugged Seline closer to her as her ruby painted lips curled into a smile, "Now, are you gonna come hang out with me? At Thornhill manor? I could use the company before my beloved JJ's funeral." 

"Of course, princess. I'm here for you." Seline patted her friend's arm with her hand and smiled softly. 

The pair walked in sync down the tall cement stairs until a hand rested on Seline's shoulder. She whipped her head around to see Jughead, a perpetual frown on his face, with the mist dewing his beanie. 

"Let's talk," He ordered as Seline stopped. Cheryl stopped in response, only to tug at Seline's arm with a pout. 

"One minute, Cheryl. Just give me a minute." She turned back to Cheryl with pleading eyes and when the redhead loosened her grip enough, Seline broke away and followed Jughead back up the stairs. 

"One minute Seline." Cheryl repeated, watching her friend walk back inside with the Jones boy. 

"You tell me, right now," Jughead urged as soon as they were far enough from other students. He had closed in on Seline, almost backing her against a wall of lockers. "Tell me the truth. Do you know my father?" 

Seline furrowed her brows at Jughead, then scoffed at him until she saw he was serious. "Where is this coming from?" She thought over her next statement, and shrugged. "I've seen him around. What does this have to do with anything?"

"Seline..."

"What?" She snapped, "It's not like we're really a thing." 

Jughead furrowed his brows, "Where'd that come from?" 

The oldest Lodge girl tilted her head, "Nowhere. Whatever, I gotta go." She pushed Jughead away from her and strode away. 

"Seline!" Jughead called after Seline but she rolled her eyes. 

She pushed open the double doors to the outside and called out to Cheryl, "Princess, let's go."
