I sit next to Sweet Pea, smiling nervously. "You guys," The group of friends looks at me. Jughead, Betty, Archie, and Veronica staring in confusion.

"I have two things to tell you guys." I sigh. "Sweet Pea and I are-"

"Dating!" I turn around and see my twin sister squealing. "I knew it the moment he walked into this school something was up!" She squeezes her self between me and Kevin, grinning.

I sigh, looking around. "There's also something else." I admit. Jugs eyes widen as he realizes what I'm about to say.

Fangs and Toni walk in behind me, Jughead assisting me to stand up as Sweet Pea does too. I pull the black leather jacket or of my bag, shrugging it over my shoulders. Kevin's jaw drops as Cheryl's eyes pop.

"My sisters a serpent?" Cheryl screeches. I laugh and hug her tightly to keep her from running off.

"Chill, Cher. I'm still me."

Cheryl scoffs, looking around. "I'm only not mad because your my sister and you're telling me." She says before walking away. Sweet Pea takes my jacket off and shoves it back in my bag.

"Emilia Blossom a serpent?" Kevin gasps. "Never thought I'd see it-"

"That's who you ran off with!" Veronica realizes. I laugh as she squeals. "I approve." Sweet Pea and I take our places back on the couch, Fangs and Toni running off to find someone for first hour. "Okay, I already invited Archie, but I want you guys to be there as well."

Veronica pauses before smiling. "Usually these kinds of events, baptisms, confirmations are family-only, but since it's all about me and you guys are my chosen family, I pulled a few strings and reserved you a pew."

Sweet Pea nods, "What is the dress code" Betty asks.

"Catholic chic. So, dresses for the girls, veils optional. And coats and ties for the boys." Veronica explains.

Weatherbee cuts in on the PA. "Jughead Jones and Betty Cooper, please report to the principal's office. Jughead Jones and Betty Cooper to the principal's office." Betty and Jug look at each other before grabbing their stuff and leaving.

"Ronnie, I was thinking today, maybe you and I can have a facetime hang out and gossip out night away?" I ask as V and I stand, arms linked.

"Of course E! That would be fun!" She squeals. I walk away and head towards the B&G. I pause when I hear Jug and Betty.

"Why would I decapitate a bronze statue?" Jug asks flabbergasted.

"Maybe the same reason you wrote that article. To avenge Toni's grandfather. I mean, you and Toni are close."

"Sure. We're pals."

"Close pals. I saw you guys at Pop's early one morning, in the middle of the Black Hood attacks. You were having breakfast, and you & Emmy seemed like more than pals. And I know it's not my place to ask, but did anything ever happen between you two?" Betty already knew what happened due to the night at the Wyrm, why was she asking Jug?
