"Okay, just a quick reminder that this school hall is a PTA sponsored event. Oh, looks like we have our first question," Alice Cooper began, adjusting her glasses.

To Andy's surprise, she turned to find Sweet Pea and Fangs standing ready to speak up. She didn't think he would care who won the school election, but here he was participating in the politics. It made her proud.

"Yeah, no offense to the, uh, current administration, but it doesn't feel like anyone's looking out for the students who are being bussed in from the Southside. Is that gonna change?"

This seemed like an odd question to ask Jughead

This seemed like an odd question to ask Jughead. Obviously, he was going to improve the school experience for his fellow Serpents, right?

"Absolutely, Sweet Pea. That's our priority. And no one should feel marginalized or excluded here," Jug answered.

"Jughead and I will be representing all students, North and Southside alike," Betty added. Andy thought they were an exceptional team.

"Next question? Yes, Midge."

"My question is for Archie and Veronica. Rumor has it that your parents will soon be on opposite sides of the Mayoral election, won't that negatively affect your working relationship?"

"Archie and I adhere to the old maxim that 'politics are never discussed' at the dinner or at the cafeteria table," V answered. 

"Veronica and I are on the same page about everything, including her family's plans for a prison on the Southside," Archie added. Andy rolled her eyes for the seventeenth time that day. Archie's bullshit was reaching a new level. She sighed beside her mother in the audience.

"In the meantime, however, we're committed to improving the quality of life at Riverdale High, which means more extracurriculars--"

"Reggie and I agree," Josie interrupted. "Except the fact that we can and will deliver results."

"And we're chill. Unlike these guys," Reggie added.

Andy's vote as of now was obviously going to Betty and Jughead. Veronica and Archie were on her shit list and while Andy loved Josie, Reggie was a terrible human being. There truly was only one option.

"He doesn't know about the car."

"What car?" Andy asked. She was passing by FP, Alice Cooper, Betty, and Jughead all seated in a booth at Pop's together

"Nothing. Sorry, Andy, can you take that table down there," FP asked, gesturing to a full table in the far corner. 

"Sure," she complied. As she took the table's orders, she caught a few words from the table where they were sat.

" . . . wiped the thing clean of prints . . ."

" . . . What do you mean "think so"?"

"No, no we were. We 100% were."
