Serpent By Blood

Bettys POV:
When I walked through the door Cheryl had her arms crossed. "Where were you?" She could tell that I was with someone because I blushed. "Were you with a guy?" I blushed even harder at this point. "Yeah, Jughead Jones actually." Her jaw dropped to the floor. "Oh my god you like him?!?" My mouth opened but no words came out, I wanted to deny that I liked him but that would be a lie. "Well well Well, that's some Romeo and Juliet shit." I rolled my eyes. "Just tell me about the crap bags at your school." She walked me over to my new bedroom and sat down on my bed. "You met Reggie, there's Kevin, we like Kevin. He's our gay best friend." We both took a moment to laugh but then she continued. "There's also chuck Clayton, probably the worst one out of them all, he's a man whore, he even has a girlfriend Ethel muggs, she's kind of a bitch." I fell back on my bed. "What have you heard about Jughead?" I asked. "Awww you care!" I threw my pillow at her. "Seriously whats he like to other people?" I ask again. "He's really weird, he doesn't really socialize and I think he's only had two girlfriends in his life, midge and you." I slap her on the arm. "I'm not his girlfriend!" She gave me a look. "You wanna be!" I did want to be, but that didn't mean that he wanted to be. "Okay what will we do for the party?" I say changing the subject. "Well I was thinking something really simple, keg stand, alcohol, beer pong and maybe something that doesn't involve alcohol for the losers." I chuckled a little at first because I thought of how much alcohol would be at this party. "That's a lot of alcohol, how exactly do you plan on getting it?" She took out her phone and showed me a text between her and Penny Peabody, a serpent. (In this story she isn't a crappy person who we all wish would die.) "Well that explains it!" I say. We then took out the last of my boxes and sat out my stuff, then went to bed.
I woke up to the sound of Cheryl's alarm blasting through the house. I rolled over and picked up my phone. 4:30 Damn she gets up early! I thought to myself as I slammed my phone back down and rolled over only to be awaken by Cheryl bursting through my doors. "Wake up sleepy head!" I lifted my face up from my pillow so I could look Cheryl in the eyes. "You might get up early, but I'm a hermit who stays in bed for as long as possible." I say to her. As a reply she hangs her hand out for me to get up, I gave in and she lifted me up. I got up and made my way to my closet, not forgetting to flip her off as I was walking away. She did the same to me and I began to get ready. I scanned through my closet to find an outfit. After looking for 10 minuets I finally decided on an off the shoulder black crop top and jean shorts, accompanied by my serpent jacket. I got to school and went to first period. Half way through class the teacher approached me. "Can I help you?" I say as she had been standing there for awhile. "Yes, you've been dress coded." I stare at her before saying anything. "Your kidding right?" She shakes her head at me. "Well shit!" She shoots me a look and says. "I'm sorry miss cooper what did you say." I wasn't feeling in the mood so I replied with. "I said oh shit, but why do you care it's just words." She snaps her finger and points for me to go to the principals office. When I sat down in the room mr Weatherbee looked at me and told me to go to his assistants room. I obey and plop myself down in her chair. "Ah dress coded, you know that bad behavior like that could make you end up in southside high." I snickered when she said that. "I got kicked out." Her eyes widened, although I was unsure why everyone got so afraid when I said that so I asked her. "Why does everyone look so shocked or disappointed when I say that?" She looks down and reluctantly answers me. "Once a person has been expelled from the southside and they come here, we legally can't expel you too because the nearest school after the southside is over an hour away." Then I realized that that meant I could do anything I wanted, yes it could get me suspended but that's the worst that could happen because Riverdale doesn't have any alternative schools. "Thank you, I'm going to go back to class." She called out my name and throws me a Riverdale t shirt. I look at it, laugh and sit it back down on her desk. I re-enter the classroom and I am still in the door frame when the teacher goes to her desk drawer and hands me the same Riverdale T-shirt. "Please go change." I take it and smile, instead of walking to the bathroom like she was expecting me to I took off my shirt in the middle of the doorway. I then happily slip on the shirt and walked to my seat. God I loved getting on the teachers nerves, and now they can't do anything about it. I went through the rest of the day not doing much, I ate lunch with Cheryl, stared at jughead for most of the day and talked to jughead for the last three classes. When me and Cheryl got home, Penny was already waiting on us in the living room, all of the drinks sprawled across the floor. We got everything set up pretty quickly and then all that was left to do was wait.
I was greeting the people at the door, there was certainly several people from Riverdale high but the few people who were from the southside I ended up talking to longer than expected since I was widely known throughout southside high. The next people who walked through the door were Veronica Archie and jughead? I wasn't expecting to see him here. "Jug?"
