"Don't worry about a ride" I said to Chloe as I stood in her doorway. "You sure?" she looked confused. "Yeah, honest" I waved her off "could use the walk to clear my head".

I stood outside the Pembrook, waiting patiently. This may seem cruel, but it was the only way this plan was ever going to work. "Edward Ellis" I heard from behind me, and turned around to see her.

Jessica Dawson, as lovely as ever. "Still trying to keep that minx sister of yours under control, I see" she smirked at me. "Yeah, she sure is persistent" I replied. "Hi, Jess" I pulled her into a hug. "So you understand the plan?" "You were very clear on the phone, Eddie. No one can know you're the one who told me to come back, and no one can know I'm speaking to you" "And you know what you have to do" "Ed, trust me. This'll be easy, gimme 48 hours" she had a devious grin on her face.
"Then let's get you registered for classes" I said, and she giggled. We climbed into the town car that her parents had drive her around 24/7. "Riverdale High, Arthur" she told the driver, and my stomach churned. God, I hope I'm doing the right thing.
Chloe's POV:
"Oh. My. God." Said Kev, when I filled him in on yesterday's news. "You go girl, damn"

I laughed at his response. "It was magic, Kev. I swear I've never felt anything like it" "You're preaching to the choir, girl" he wiggled his brows and I giggled again, feeling like a 13 year old girl. God, it was only a kiss.
Kev was in the process of telling me some story of one time when he and Joaquin had to leave a party because they couldn't keep their hands off of one another, when he stopped talking and his jaw almost hit the floor. "No way" he whispered and I turned my head to see what he was looking at.
Jessica Dawson. She walked in, her head held high and a smug look on her face. The guys whistled as she strutted past them in a pair of stiletto heels, but I just felt sick. I couldn't stand her. The thought of her was enough to make my hair stand on end, but here she was. Back in all of our lives.

"Hey, Chloe. Kevin" she walked over and stood infront of us, and I could feel my blood boil as she refused to break eye contact, her face the smuggest I'd ever seen it. "Surprised to see me?" "Understatement of the year" Kev mumbled under his breath, and she giggled, stroking his arm. He grimaced. "I've missed you guys, too" she winked.
"Damn, Jess" Reggie said as he came up beside her. "Just when I thought you couldn't get any hotter" "Not so bad yourself, Reg" she batted her eyelids, curling her lips over her teeth in a grin. "Well. I'm gonna head to class" said Kev, trying his best to get out of the situation. "I'll join you" Jess said, linking her arm into his as she walked with him down the hall. He shit me a despairing look over his shoulder, and I would have laughed if I wasn't so furious.
Reggie wolf-whistled, and giggled to himself. "You're a fucking pig, Reg" I pushed his shoulder, and walked to class.

"She's not all bad, Chlo" Betty said, as I flopped into my seat at our usual lunch table, my head in my hands. "B! What are you talking about?! If Chloe has reason to hate this girl so do we!" Ronnie said, but honestly I just felt she was threatened there was another rich daddy's girl added to the mix. "Ronnie's right, Betts" said Cheryl "that girl is bad news." "Tell me about it!" Kev whisper-yelled "at least you she hasn't been following you bitches around all day."
At the opposite end of the table, Archie was stuffing his face with his food, his hand rested on Veronica's lap. He couldn't have been more oblivious.
"Shit" said Kevin, looking across the room. I followed his line of vision to see Jessica and Sweetpea. She was sat on his fucking lap. "Right, THATS IT" said Ronnie, prepared to march over there. "No, V!" I pulled her back into her seat. "There's nothing going on with me and him. Stay put"
"I wanna see what the prick does" said Kev. "I don't" I said, standing up. "I'm trusting all of you. Don't go over there. Don't say anything"
I left.
