"Fahrenheit 451, by one of my favorite authors, Ray Bradbury, start with the title, can anyone tell me it's significance." Mr.Phillips asked as he walked up the aisle to his desk and leaned on it.

Nobody answered, the whole classroom was silent. Abruptly Sweet Pea stood up knocking over his chair, "What? Damn it." He hissed storming out of the classroom.

Kai shot a glance over to Toni, who just shrugged. Probably whoever he was texting, Kai thought noting that he was on the phone the entire time while sitting on a desk.

Still Mr. Phillips continued, "People there is a burning book on the cover." He said holding the cover of the book towards the class hoping to give them a clue.

Kai had learned not to answer after a while, it just made people look at you weird. Jughead looked as if he was about to stick his hand, earning shaken heads from both Kai and Toni telling him not to.

Despite the two girls' warnings, he answered anyways "Fahrenheit 451 is the temperature at which paper burns." Kai shot him a glance, and you're officially an idiot. All heads turned to his direction. He then managed to slightly save himself, "It was a pleasure to burn."

Mr. Phillips gave him a look, "Indeed, thank you Mr. Jones, welcome to hell."

A paper ball was thrown towards Jughead right before the bell rang and everybody got up to skip school or go to their next class. Kai noticed that Jughead stayed behind, before she left she heard something about The Red and Black. The girl shrugged and headed off.

"Oh come on!" Kai groaned as she tried to put in the combination for her locker. She tried again, pulling on the lock, it stayed closed. She banged her hand on the locker angrily.

She huffed annoyed as she heard a deep chuckle behindher, "Need some help there princess?"

Kai rolled her eyes before turning around, coming face to face with somebodies chest. She looked up at Sweet Pea, "Can you help with my locker." Kai complained, still looking up at him.

"Why can't you do it." He asked sending her a smirk.

"I forgot my pliers at my trailer." She huffed sarcastically.

"Alright shorty." He grinned pulling the lock off of the locker and handing it to her.

"Wow gee thanks." Kai said sarcastically, "How ever will I repay you."

Sweet Pea put a finger on his chin, "How about a date with me to Pops?" Her eyes widened a date? Heat rushed to her cheeks.

"Fine but you're paying." She mumbled before rushing away to her next class. I better remember to buy a new lock.

"Wow he's actually letting you start up The Red and Black." Kai commented looking around the classroom where they would hold the club.

"It's no New York Times." Jughead huffed, opening up from curtains, sending the suns rays and dust out into the air of the room causing Kai and Toni to cough.

"But, hey, Kudos on finding your safe place snowflake." Toni added a smirk on her face. She wiped some more dust off of some boxes causing Kai to almost completely walk out of the room before she hacks up a lung.

"Yeah, all I need now is a photographer with an amazing eye and a hunger for social justice, and I think I'll be set." He stated, sending a suggesting smile towards Toni.

The door burst open from behind the three, "Topaz, Jackson lets bounce." Sweet Pea ordered, walking through the doors with some other Serpents behind him. "Jones wanna come with, we're heading down the quarry." The tall serpent offered.

Jugehead shook his head "I uh don't have my beach bod yet." He joked lightly.

Sweet Pea scoffed "What? You'll ask for help from the Serpents, but you won't hang with us? Don't come crawling to us, hat in hand, when some Ghoulie decides to earn his stripes by taking out FP Jones' kid."

Jughead glared at the angry serpent harshly, "Duly noted. Thank you Sweet Pea."Jughead glanced from the group behind Sweet Pea, back to him, "I appreciate what you and the Serpents have done for me and my dad. I do. But I'm done. Okay? No more favors coming your way."

Sweet Pea took a step forward towards Jughead. Kai jutted an arm in front of him "Hey, hey, he made up his mind, okay?" She snapped pushing him back a little.

"Take the hint, Sweet Pea. He's just not that into you. Let's motor." Toni sighed grabbing her things and making her way out the door.
