Ride or Die

*11*

A lot happened the past couple of days. Tall Boy was exiled and driven out of the southside while Hiram Lodge had a little meeting with the Jones men. To put it simple Hiram says it's a misunderstanding and he isn't involved. He also wants to pay the back rent for everyone in Sunnyside so win for us, I guess. Something else happened, McCoy resigned as mayor to return to her legal career in Riverdale so that's cool.

"Hey BabyDoll," Veronica said the minute she saw me enter the student lounge once Cheryl left "What're you and Sweet Pea doing this weekend?"

"We're probably going to the arcade at Greendale, why?" I asked confused

"Well cancel your plans and come with us to my family's lodge for the weekend," Veronica said

"Yeah it'll be fun" Betty adds in from her seat next to Jughead

"Sounds nice and all but I'll have to pass," I responded getting a bag of chips from the vending machine "The last thing anyone needs is Sweet Pea and Archie getting into another fist fight. Not to mention the last time we went on a couples vacation it didn't end very well."

"What happened?" Archie asked slightly confused

"To put it simply we were invited on a trip with another couple who were new to the southside and had no idea we were apart of the Serpents" I explained "One of them was talking trash about one of our own and it ended with Sweet Pea landing a blow on his face"

"I think Toni told me this story before" Jughead chimes in "The four of you weren't even on the road yet. And Toni told me you landed a blow on the girl too after she yelled at Sweet Pea"

"She got on my nerves," I said shrugging nonchalantly eating my chips "I usually don't get into fights very often but I just didn't have any other choice with that girl."

She really didn't give me much of choice since she was acting all high and mighty. On the Southside no less which didn't sit well with anyone going to Southside high. She was also the same girl that caused my nickname "boa constrictor" to make an appearance.

"Then she told me to get my sapphic serpent hands off her body" Toni finished as we walked to our next class "I was just being nice she didn't have to say that"

"Oh Toni just admit it you have a crush on her don't you," I asked ignoring the light shove from Toni

"As if," Toni said but smiled nonetheless "I like a challenge though"

"Go for it, Toni," I said holding on to her arm till we got to our chemistry class "I don't really like her but the two of you would look good together"

"You'll get over your little hatred for Northsiders just for me?" Toni asked as we sat at our table

"Of course, Toni," I said "You're my best friend after all. Oh, are you gonna watch love, Simon?"

"Yeah, you?" Toni asked ignoring our teacher's shushing

"No, I'm probably going to dye my hair maybe change the color. There's also a new game in that arcade in Greendale I wanna check out" I answered

To my lover, I'd never lie (I love you, baby)
He said "be true," I swear I'll try
In the end, it's him and I

I picked up my phone after the familiar ringtone came up. It was FP calling and luckily Noel was done with my hair.

"What's up?" I answered

"Where are you and Sweet Pea?" FP asked "We're all here celebrating and stuff"

"Celebrating what?" I asked leaning against my bike "I just finished getting my hair done. And I have no idea where Sweet Pea is since he hates waiting for me to finish"
