•New Perspective /Chic/ Riverdale•

~casual affair~

   Author's note:
  Sorry guys this is a bit of a shortie but I hope you still enjoy it!

I woke up, changed and went down.

  The girls had boots on so I guess they were about to leave.

  „Chic! You woke up! You should go with us to Pop’s!”

  Pop’s was apparently a restaurant so I agreed because I was starving.

  The atmosphere of the place was really cool and vintage looking. A friendly, older black man approached us and asked us what we wanted.

  I got a big strawberry milkshake because it’s my favorite. Apparently Betty’s too becaude she got the same thing. Mom got a coffee.

  She looked at me smiling and told me that I had to finish highschool because she had a surprise for me.

  Fuck me, the sisters kicked me out when I had one more month of school left and I couldn’t continue because I was taught by them, it wasn’t really school...

  „Don’t worry, I have a very close friend group that will help you integrate right in!”

I believed her. I was actually very excited to go to school tomorrow.

  The day passed by storm and it was already morning.

  I thought I should wear my favorite outfit Betty got me, ripped jeans, vans and a My Chemical Romance t-shirt but I ended up wearing a blue t-shirt because I wanted to put some eyeliner on and MCR and eyeliner is too emo.

I put a touch of Betty’s eyeliner, channeling my inner Pete Wentz.

  I’m not actually emo, I just like the music and I wear eyeliner sometimes. And I hate everything.
 
  Yeah I guess I'm kinda very emo...

  When we got to school, no one stared which was great. I didn’t look older than a senior and the liner made me look even younger.

  First period was math. Just when the teacher got there I heard:

  „Jughead Jones, Veronica Lodge, Archie Andrews, Betty and Chic Cooper to principal Weatherbee’s office”.

  Chic Cooper. New life, new name. I love it. I got „Smith” from my last foster family.

When I got there everyone who was called was confused because they didn’t do anything. The principal sighed and said:

  „You four go with Chic in The Blue and Gold office and get him in your group” We were all relieved.

  A brunette, very polished girl presented herself:

  „Hi blonde Adonis, it’s Veronica”

You could tell she was joking and not actually flirting but who I guess it’s her boyfriend, a tall, athletic ginger boy gave me an intimidating look and just said

  „I’m Archie and this is my GIRLFRIEND Ronnie.”

I laughed out loud, getting closer to him and I told him, still laughing:

  „Don’t worry, I’m gay.”

He was so relieved while  me and his girlfriend were so amused we were on the ground.

  There was one guy left, who I suppose is Jughead. He looked a bit tough but was actually really nice and friendly.

  „Hi, I’m Jughead, Betty’s boyfriend.”

  I really liked his style. He had a hat that looked like it was attached to his head, it was THAT worn out and a really sick leather jacket with a green snake on it

  „Where did you get this jacket from, it’s sick!”

  His response was unexpected. He was apparently in a gang called the „South Side Serpents”. I was kind of afraid. Not of Jughead, of the whole gang thing. I looked at Betty and asked him if there were drugs involved.

  He was appaled when I mentioned drugs. He told me some Serpents do jingle-jangle but they didn’t deal and him personally was against drugs.

I sighed and proceeded to tell them my whole story you know.

  When I finished, the bell rang and Kevin came.

Veronica, who was an expert in dating it seemed, told the others to leave me and Kevin alone.

  I just wanted to finish highschool so i have a chance at college but fuck, Kevin was hot.

  Not my type at all, he looked like a stereotypical „gay best friend” from a cliche high school drama movie and I liked guys with long hair and leather jackets. And no! Not Jug!

But I didn’t want to do it. I didn’t have the urge to kiss him like I had with other guys.

  I told him I’m sorry and ran to Betty. She told me she’ll talk to Kevin and that it’s ok.

  But I felt like shit. The 6 hours of school I had left I only thought about how I hurt him.

I was an ass.
