Ride - Sweetpea Fanfiction

IV - Tense

Chloe's POV:

Waking up the next morning, I bit my lip nervously. I may have been tipsy last night, but I haven't forgot a single detail.

Sunday passed without a hitch, the day continuing as usual. It was spent with my family, and also catching up on the huge amount of homework I had to get done by tomorrow. The leniency that followed Jason's murder and the stress of the black hood killer had officially come to an end.

It was around 6pm, and I was just finishing a calculus problem when I heard my phone go off. A text.

From: Sweetpea
You alive, Blondie? Can imagine there was a wicked headache coming your way this morning.

To: Sweetpea
Not in the slightest, turns out I wasn't as drunk as one might believe

I couldn't bite back the smirk. It's clear he wants me just as much as I want him, I just need to persuade him.

From: Sweetpea
You're fucking with me. I don't believe for one second that you meant what you said last night.

Before I could think of a witty response. I received a second text.

But I guess we'll see just how forward you are. See you tomorrow, Blondie.

See you tomorrow? What on earth does he mean? If he thinks I'm ditching to see him that guy has another thing coming. I haven't done all of this homework just to-

My phone went off again. And my face dropped as I checked what I saw.

From: Toni😝
In all of the chaos I completely forgot to tell you my news! Southside high has officially closed down, guess who's transferring to Riverdale high!!

I was shitting myself. How on earth was I going to see Sweetpea tomorrow? For one, I'd be so embarassed by the things I've said to him I might pass out. And second, the girls think I've called everything off. Shit shit shit. I need to call Kev.

Kev came over, and we sat in my room, planning what I should do tomorrow.
"Right" he said "You want this guy, don't you?" He asked me.
"Well, yeah, Kev" I rolled my eyes "I though we established this."
"Then be confident. It's far more attractive than the nervousness. You're going to make an effort, get all sexy, and drive the boy crazy. He'll want you so bad he might die" Kev smirked at me.
"Are you sure that'll work?" I was still unsure. The look he gave me was enough to make me close my mouth; the unspoken 'are you serious' put me right in my place.
