CHAPTER NINETEEN
"Bring on the piss test."

"You drive a mustang?" Marley asked as she starred at Elijah's black 1969 mustang car and he laughed, before he could reply her phone started to ring.

"Sorry, gotta take this," Marley said and Elijah nodded as Marley answered the phone.

"Aunt Gina?" Marley said as she answered the phone.

"Come to Betty's House. Immediately." Gina said sternly before hanging up and Marley's eyebrows furrowed before looking at Elijah.

"I'm sorry but my aunt just called and she sounded really pissed. I got to go," Marley said and Elijah just shrugged.

"Its alright. Need a ride?" Elijah asked and Marley shook her head before putting her skateboard on the ground and skating towards Betty's House.

Marley was the last one to arrive and once Alice opened the door she lead Marley into the living room where Betty, Archie, Veronica, Kevin, Reggie and Josie were with their parents. Marley looked around the room before glancing at her aunt.

"What is going on?" Marley asked her aunt and Gina just shot her a look.

"Sit down," Gina said sternly and Marley rolled her eyes before sitting down next to Archie.

Alice Cooper looked at the teens before crossing her arms over her chest.

"So, Riverdale's best and brightest, huh?" Alice said and Marley furrowed her eyebrows in confusion before looking at Archie.

"What's going on?" Marley whispered to him and Archie looked at her before answering.

"Jingle Jangle," Archie whispered back and Marley frowned still confused.

"Alice, Thank you for hosting." Mayor McCoy said to Alice and Alice nodded.

"Of course, Mayor McCoy. When I heard what happened at Nick's party, I decided that we should come together to deal with this motley crew of liars, dope fiends, and fornicators. Except for my Betty, who was smart enough to leave the party before it descended into bacchanalian free-for-all," Alice said and Marley looked at Betty before looking at her aunt.

"Not just your Betty, Alice. Marley also left the party before it escalated," Gina said sticking up for her niece and Alice scoffed.

"Yeah sure, after she probably supplied the Jingle Jangle, no doubt." Alice said and Marley and Gina simultaneously gasped.

"With all disrespect, Mrs Cooper, I'm a lot of things but I'm not a drug dealer," Marley said and Gina nodded in agreement and Alice shrugged.

"Who knows, maybe it runs in the family," Alice said while looking at Gina and Gina crossed her arms over her chest. Before Gina could retort Fred spoke.

"Just for clarity, Alice, are you hosting this little get together to gloat and to accuse a teenage girl of something she probably did not do?" Fred asked Alice, sticking up for Marley while Veronica and Kevin talked amongst themselves.

"Careful throwing stones there, Acid queen Alice. I'm not the only one that knows the story behind the mugshot that your daughter printed in that paper," Hiram lodge said to her and Gina nodded.

"Yeah, so get rid of that 'holier than thou' attitude, Alice." Gina said while Marley put some gum in her mouth and Alice just rolled her eyes.

"I, for one, would like to know who bought the Jingle Jangle to the party?" Hermione said changing the subject and Alice looked at Marley and so did Sheriff Keller and Mayor McCoy and Marley and her aunt both frowned.
