I walk into the gym with my bag slung over my shoulder for Vixen practice and see the guys playing basketball. I lean up against the wall near the door and watch as Sweet Pea dribbles across the floor. Reggie must be guarding him because he starts closing in on him but Sweet Pea shoves he to the ground with his shoulder and I wince.
The coach blows his whistle, "Alright, hit the showers!"
Boys start filing out of the gym. Sweet Pea walks us to me, "Look, if you're here to talk-"
"I'm not." I cut him off. Ever since the parking lot I've been trying to talk to him every chance I could get but he just blows me off everytime. "I'm just waiting for the gym, I have Vixen practice."
He sighs and turns to walk away but I grab his arm. "Look, I saw what you did to Reggie. I know that you're pissed at the both of us and believe me I know he's an asshole, but he doesn't deserve that. This isn't his fault."
"Isn't though?" He shrugs his shoulder and walks away.
I hang my head back and sigh. The rest of the Vixens start flowing into the gym and Cheryl bursts through behind them. "Okay, bitches! Lets get started!"
I drop my bag on the floor and walk over to the girls to start stretching. Cheryl grabs my arm as I pass by her. "Bevy, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm fine." I say.
"Bevy-" She starts but I cut her off.
"I said I'm fine, Cheryl." I snap and walk away from her.
I walk into the student lounge and see Veronica, Betty, Kevin, and Jughead all looking at something on Betty's phone. I walk over and lean over the back of the couch. "What are we looking at?"
"Betty's long lost brother." Kevin says as Veronica hands the phone to him. "He's a hottie who looks incredibly familiar to me, by the way."
"You're adventures in the woods?" Jughead asks.
"I don't know, but maybe if we were allowed to meet this hottie in person." Kevin suggests.
Betty takes her phone back and shakes her head, "Chic is still acclimating. And I'm trying to get him to trust me, but my Mom is treating him like a ten year old and my Dad's treating him like the devil's spawn."
"Well, I have an amazing idea." Veronica perks up. "Bring The Omen to Pickens Day and we can all meet him. Everyone's coming, right?"
"No, because the Serpents weren't invited." Jughead says.
"The Serpents were explicitly asked to come." Veronica corrects.
"Yeah, to provide security. It's like we're all on the Snowpiercer train, but the Serpents happen to be the ones eating the cockroaches." Jughead tells her.
