Legends [1] ▻ Sweet Pea

68

    Later on that day, Izzy, Betty, Polly, the twins, and also Sweet Pea, sat at the dinner table. It was awkwardly silent for some reason unknown to Izzy. 

  "So," Alice spoke up, breaking the silence, "Izzy," 

   Izzy instantly looked up once hearing her name and turned to look at her mother, who was sitting at the head of the dinner table, "I hope you were using protection earlier." She said and Izzy's eyes widened in shock.

  "Wha--I--" Izzy stammered, unable to form the right words.

   Sweet Pea couldn't help but laugh at her, which caused Izzy to kick him under the table, "Yes, we did, if you'd really like to know." Sweet Pea answered for Izzy, who was still unable to say anything, seeming a bit embarrassed that Alice found out what they were doing.

    "Good," Alice replied, taking a sip of her drink.

     "Were we really that loud?" Izzy questioned and Betty nodded her head in response.

     "No, you were," Polly corrected, causing Izzy's cheeks to turn light pink, "I didn't hear a peep coming from Sweet Pea. These walls are thin, Izzy, and Betty's room is literally right next to yours."

      "Mom," Betty spoke up after being quiet for so long.

      "Yes, Elizabeth?" Alice answered and Betty gave her a curious look.

     "How come Izzy is allowed to have sex with your knowledge in the house while Jughead's barely even allowed through the front door?" Betty questioned curiously and both Izzy and Sweet Pea shared an amused look.

      "Because," Alice began to answer, "I either give Izzy my permission or I'll have to worry about her going behind my back to do it anyway. I would rather it be the first one." She said vaguely and Sweet Pea quietly chuckled as he and Izzy intertwined hands under the table.

                                                             ____________

After dinner, Izzy had her head in Sweet Pea's lap as they both sat on the couch together in the living room, watching F is For Family, a random show Izzy had found on Netflix just a few moments before.

 "Hey, Sweets?" Izzy spoke up, gaining her boyfriend's attention.

  "Hmm," He replied, leaning his head downwards to look at her. His hands were entangled in Izzy's dark brown hair, just as she loved it to be. Sweet Pea loved when Izzy played with his hair and Izzy loved when Sweet Pea played with her hair, yet both of them were liked on two different occasions.

  "Ever think about what you'll do after high school's over?" She asked him out of curiosity, which Sweet Pea didn't really know the answer to.

   "No clue," Sweet Pea answered as he shrugged his shoulder, "I'll probably just stay here, find some type of jobs to do. How about you?"

   "I want to go to college, maybe NYU if I'm lucky." She explained to him and Sweet Pea let out a small chuckle.

   "You definitely have the grades for it, that's for sure," He commented and Izzy couldn't help but laugh.

   "Maybe even if you didn't spend the whole time talking to Fangs in all of your classes, you would actually have more than a seventy-five average." She told him and Sweet Pea scoffed, yet still smiling at his girlfriend.

  "Well, not all people can be secret geniuses like you. Most people either have beauty or brains. You were lucky and were blessed with both, unlike like me," Sweet Pea smirked, "You literally have a ninety-four or above in all your classes. I seriously don't know how you do it. You even told me that you're in line to be valedictorian during senior year and you're probably going to get a scholarship. So, what are you going to do at college."

  Izzy shrugged, "Major in something, I don't know. I have no clue if I still want to be a doctor or not," She told him, "Hey, if I am going to college, I'll gladly bring you along with me." She proposed and Sweet Pea laughed.

  "Uh, uh, I don't think so. Who's going to stay with poor Fangs? You know he's not going to college. I can't just leave him,"

   Izzy nodded her head in agreement, "True"

   That night, Sweet Pea and Izzy spent their whole night, laying on the couch while talking about the most random things, mostly about their future. Everything felt happy for them once again. It felt as if nothing could go wrong anymore.

   But of course, they were wrong.

                                              _______________

 The next day at school, all of the students were gathered in the gym for their assembly. Izzy sat in between Fangs and Sweet Pea on the bleachers while Toni sat to Sweet Pea's right with her girlfriend, Cheryl, by her side. Betty, Jughead, and Veronica all sat behind the group along with Reggie and Moose.

  The River Vixens had just finished their cheer, which led to the crowd applauding for them as they went off to stand on the side. Principal Weatherbee clapped also as he stood at the wooden podium in the middle of the gym, "Students, Faculty and Staff," He spoke up, looking around at all of the students in the bleachers, "Before we inaugurate Archie Andrews as our new student council president, please rise for our National Anthem."

    Everyone stood up from their seats, including Sweet Pea and Izzy. They placed their right hand on their heart and watched as Josie McCoy got up from her seat beside Archie. She walked up to microphone in front of the podium before she began to sing.

    Everyone in the gymnasium shared a confused look when they saw a bunch of deputies enter, led by the town's new Sheriff, Sheriff Minetta. The male officers walked over to Archie and immediately grabbed him by the arms. Izzy knew right away what they were doing. They were arresting him. But for what though? 

    "What the hell is going on?" Izzy asked both Fangs and Sweet Pea, who seemed to be just as confused as she was. 

   As the two deputies began to cuff Archie Andrews, Sheriff Minetta stood in front of him. By then, Josie stopped singing, "Sheriff Minetta, what are you doing?" Archie asked the male confused.

   "Archie Andrews, you are under arrest for the murder of Shadow Lake resident, Cassidy Bullock." Sheriff Minetta explained to him.

  Archie furrowed his eyebrows as he gave the sheriff a confused look, "What?" He questioned, "I didn't kill him, that--"

   Before Archie could finish his sentence, the Sheriff cut him, "You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have right to an attorney." After he finished telling Archie the Miranda Rights, Archie was hauled away by the deputies, still leaving everyone deeply confused.

   "What is going on in this town lately?" Izzy groaned.

            Everyone thought that the bad things were now finished everything was going to be good now, but really, the bad things were just getting started in Riverdale. 

              It just the beginning.

AN: Okay, and here's the last chapter sadly. Thank you for all reading this book, hope you liked it. This was definitely my most favorite book to write, ever. I enjoyed writing it and I enjoyed reading all of the comments you guys left. There's, like, a 95% chance that I will be writing a sequel to this when season 3 of Riverdale airs. If I do, I hope you guys read.

  I'm pretty sure I said this before, but thank you all for reading my book, I hope you guys enjoyed it. If you haven't checked it out before, I wrote a somewhat spinoff/sequel of this book called "Summer Break". It has to do with Izzy and Sweet Pea during the summer after high school ends. It's both a social media book and real-life book.
