I sit with Kevin and Veronica, V informing us on this Nick St Clair boy. Archie walks in acting all manly and protective, making me scrunch my nose. I was lucky they weren't mad about me riding with Sweet Pea, that they understood I talk to other people besides them. I suddenly get a call from Jughead, I walk away from my friends, answering it quickly.
"Yes Juggy?" I ask, twirling my hair with my finger.
"Can you come over?"
"You can't be serious Jug." I cross my arms over my chest, staring at the pacing brunette.
He tosses his arms in the air. "I have no choice Em! What will they do until Dad gets there?" He grunts in frustration and i walk up to him, cupping his face in my hands.
"Hey, it's fine. I will support you in this no matter what. Even if I hate it." He smiles and nods. "Now, let me grab my leather boots and we can get out and go talk to these serpents.
I strut into the Whyte Wyrm, a few Serpents whistling in my direction. "Don't make me bite off your dick." I threaten, popping my gum. I see Sweet Pea playing pool, and I'm tempted to say hi until he sees Jug.
"I think this Northsiders lost." He retorts. I roll my eyes and cross my arms over my chest. This oughta be good.
"I'm not." He says. "I'm over being half a Serpent."
Sweet Pea laughs, "Wow, you will do anything to protect your Northside buddies."
"My father was a Serpent. He led you." Jughead looks around, "I want to stand by you guys. Tall Boy was the one who gave me this jacket." He points to a man...that's tall. "Its finally time I start wearing it."
Tall Boy starts walking towards Jug. "So, now you want to be a Serpent." I feel my hands begin to shake, I second guess if I should have came along.
"Let's see if you survive the initiation first."
An hour later, I'm sitting with Toni, Fangs, Hog Eye, and a couple others. Sweet Pea continued his game of Pool, not giving me a second of his time.
"You know, you could make him give you attention." Toni smirked. I look at the purple haired girl.
"And why would I do that?" I ask, smiling.
Toni gives me a wink before shouting, "Sweet Pea!" He shoots his head up, "You, me, Em, and Fangs, along with a couple others are going to play spin the bottle, you in?"
Sweet Pea shrugs, everyone sits on the flor, there were about three girls and four guys. "Emmy, you're first." Toni smiled. I smirked, spinning the bottle, letting it hit the serpent girl. We smile before locking lips, letting it linger longer than it should. We pull away and I look at Sweet Pea, who looks angry.
Cheryl and I walk and in hand into Riverdale High, walking towards the commons where we see an unfamiliar boy. "You all have to come to the party Im hosting tonight in your honor. Let's say ten o'clock, my hotel room at The Five Seasons."
Cheryl walks in smiling. "Did somebody say party?" She looks at the boy. "Hello there. Hi, there. I'm Riverdale's Resident It Girl, Cheryl Blossom. You must be Veronica's old school chum I keep hearing about Nick St. Clair. Now that's a name I can get behind. Ten o'clock, you said? We'll be there be there at eleven."
"Cheryl I'm not going! I cant go! I have stuff to do!" I argue with my sister. It was after school and I was trying to persuade her not to make me go to something as horrendous as that.
She rolls her eyes. "Fine Emmy. You do what you want." She steps out of the car and walks into our house, my following suit. I walk to Nana Rose and give her a kiss on the cheek.
"Oh Emilia, Dear. I always know it's you by your kindness." She holds my hand and I can't help but smile.
"I will get you some tea, Nana." I hum before walking to the kitchen, starting a tea pot. My phone begins to ring, and it's Kevin. "Yes my lovely Gay arm candy." I say.
"You better be going to that party Em." He says right away.
"Sorry, I'm not." I pour the tea into a cup, leaning against the counter.
"But you must!" Kev pleads.
I laugh, picking up the cup. "Sorry KK, I have plans."
"With a boy?"
"Nope." I hang up and walk back to Nana Rose, handing her her glass.
She looks up at me and grins. "Thank you, Emilia." I kiss her cheek before walking upstairs, calling Toni.
"Yes honey buns?" She answered. I giggled at the flirtatious nickname.
"Come and pick me up, I need to talk to Juggie." I say. "And then we can hang."
"I need to talk to him too, I'll be there in 20."
I smile. "I'll send you my address."
T comes over and I walk out of my house. "Toni, you like girls right?"
"Yeah." She leans on her bike, crossing her arms.
"You don't...like me, right?"
She smiles. "No. You're hot, sweet, and a kind person Em, but you're just not my type." I nod before climbing onto the motorcycle.
"What do you need to talk to Juggy about?"
"The initiation. He's gonna get beaten to a pulp."
"What?" She nods in front of me.
"It's the last step." The ride to Jugs goes silent the rest of the way, neither of us really knowing what to say.
I go into one of my drifting off moods, where i'm not clear with my surroundings. Toni and I discussed them last night, so she'd know just in case. She got the idea and walked me into Jugheads trailer, where they discussed the gauntlet and what not. My phone rang Betty's ring tone, snapping me out of my trance. "B?"
"Em where are you?" She asks. Her voice sounds as if she's about to watch someone get murdered.
"I'm at Jugs, why?" I place a piece of gum in my mouth, chewing nonchalantly.
"I need you to come over. Now."
I grab my hoodie, sliding it over my head. I was going to hang out with Topaz." Toni and Juv give me questioning looks and I shrug.
"Emmy please." She pleads. I sigh and agree before hanging up.
"Sorry guys, Betty needs me."
"You're walking?" Jug asks. I nod sliding on my black tennis shoe. "Good thing you're dressed." I look down at the leggings and hoodie outfit, laughing.
"I'll see you later guys." I say before hopping out of the trailer. I eyeball Sweet Pea and Fangs, but don't say anything before running down the street.
It takes me 15 minutes to run to Betty's, opening the door with my spare key. "Honey, I'm home!" I call. I jog upstairs and see a crying Betty. "Bets? What's up?"
She looks up at me. "The Black Hood has been calling me." She whispers. My eyes widen at her statement.
"What?" She begins to explain everything, how he was making her hurt people, hurt V.
"And now he wants me to break up with Jug." She sobs into my arms, her heart already damaged.
I rub her back and sooth her. "Betty, we will figure this out together."
