Our very own mother dearest

Author's note- this chapter is a little shorter than others. I will try and update it again when I have time but for now I hope you enjoy. I am going to decide whether to do random updates or just put it on hold until the summer when school is out and I have more time to update. Once again, I'm sorry it took so long and I hope you enjoy. Thank you for being patient.

I try to keep up as Kevin starts running into school. He seems to forget a lot that I'm on crutches.

Going into school today is different. I'm actually happy to see those school colors and those stupid jocks for once. Sadly Jason won't be joining us. His parents don't want any more drama like Polly had already caused. So they are home schooling him. Cheryl is bummed too but she's just glad he's home.

As I reach the entrance to the school I'm greeted by for very amazing people. Jug, Cheryl, Archie, and Kevin. Harrison wants to give me some space for now and Veronica thinks she needs to spend more time with me before she can join my inner circle. I mean, Archie just joined after a long time of knowing him.

"Hey." I smile  and crutch over to them.

"Erin guess what!" Cheryl beams happily.

Knowing Cheryl this news either has to do with Jason or the River Vixens.

"What?" I laugh at her excitement.

"Jay Jay is picking me and you up from school today!" She exclaims.

A bright big smiles forms itself on my face. It would be great to see Jason after eight hours of He-school.  But of course with all my happiness, there's a small needle that pops that balloon.

"What about all the kids at school? Won't that cause drama?" I ask her hesitantly.

Cheryl waves me off and smiles.

"Don't worry about that." She tells me. "Everyone is just gonna thinks it's my limo picking me up again from school as usual. Jason will be in the back with the tinted windows."

"Wait!" This time I turn to everyone. "Polly's back. Doesn't that mean she's gonna be coming back to school? With Betty?"

Shit.

Of course at this point in my life, both Cooper sisters, that hate me, are both gonna be in the same place at the same time as me. For eight hours. Shoot me.

"Oh please," Jug perks up. "Do you really think they will show up and try to start trouble with you? The entire school knows what they have done to us all. Who's honestly that stupid to do something like that?"

I turn to Kevin and smirk.

"Own very own mother dearest." I wink.

Kevin grins and ruffles my hair slightly.

The first bell rings and me and Archie head to history together.

Archie Andrews.

I never really thought that me and him would ever consider each other friends. But I guess sometimes all you need is a little push and you'll get something good.

A lot of the times when we were younger Archie would always pull Jug aside and try to pull me away from them. I would always assume they wanted "guy" time, but that thought shattered completely when I found out it was because Archie wanted him and Jug to hang out with Betty Cooper instead. Betty and I weren't always enemies. We were actually quite nice to each their. Until the Fourth of July five years ago.

Kevin, Jug, Cheryl, Jason, Archie, and I were all in the back of my dad's old truck. At this time Jason and I weren't really good friends at all. I was only kinda friends with Cheryl, but Kevin, Archie, and Jug all liked them so I went along with it. Jason was kinda a flirt back then so he had his arm wrapped over my shoulders. I was sitting next to Jughead and Jason while Kevin and Cheryl went to get some popcorn to split. I was laughing with Jughead about something stupid, as Jason and Archie talked about sports.
