Everyone was still shaken about that 'red circle' video. My personal opinion went on both sides—first its a childish video, I think it makes a point but it's hard to take serious when there's shirtless men in the background—which I only paid attention to.

Jughead was right, there is a serial killer in town, and a bunch of teens—are not gonna stop him. This guy is not even hesitating to shoot, he takes aim—and pulls the trigger before you can even say "serial killer".

I went to school in my usual outfit, I wore a dark red button up blouse and a black skirt.

I walked into school and everyone was talking about the video, Kevin came up to me and we talked about the video—turns out, I wasn't the only one who paid more attention to the shirtless muscular boys!

Everyone started talking louder and Archie walked in, I also see a pissed off Veronica coming Archie's way and Kevin and I hurry out before the storm hits the hall.

"So, any new guys?" Kevin asks as we walk together.

"Nah—well, one. But, I seem to have this thing with making people hate me before they know me, soooo it's gonna be hard if I decide to go for it" I say and shrug. Fangs Fogarty is so different, he actually hates me.

"Who the hell could ever hate you? Maia, you are a puppy....with sharp claws....but cute!" Kevin says and I hit his shoulder before laughing with him.

"Kev, I heard you had a thing with a Serpent not so long ago, why did it end? It's okay if you don't want to answer, I'm just curious" I say and stop by Kevin's locker.

"Well, he was involved in something bad and it caught up to him, so he had to leave Riverdale" Kevin says with a sad face. I rub his shoulder and pout.

"Noooo, don't be sad. I hate when you're sad, you're meant to be forever happy!" I whine and Kev smiles a bit. "You're a dork" Kevin says and shakes his head.

"I have to catch Betty, so I'll see you later?" Kevin says and I nod with a smile. "Of course" I say and we part up. Just before the bell rings, I stop and listen to the message.

"Mr. Archie Andrews, please report to the principals office" I look around to see if Archie does it.

Soon enough he comes out of a classroom which I head over to and see Veronica stand there defeated. "You okay?" I ask and walk in to her.

"It's just this video, Archie's going crazy with all this stuff. It's out of control" Veronica says and I hug her.

"I'm sorry, if it's any comfort—I watched the video, but I only paid attention to the shirtless boys in the background" I joke and Veronica laughs and shakes her head.

"Classic, Maia" Veronica mumbles and I pull her with me out and to class.

"I like your shirt" Veronica whispers and I giggle. "I love your skirt!" I say and wink.

Next day in school, Veronica throws a white shirt at me and I catch it.

"V, what's this?" I ask. Then I hold the shirt out and see a red circle on it.

"Please, wear it! You'll rock this v-neck!" Veronica exclaims and I shrug. "Alrighty then" I say and she squeals. I change into the shirt and helps Cheryl with giving out the other red circle shirts.

After school I went home, the housekeepers welcomed me as always and I sighed.
