Hush

5

On Monday I woke looking at my phone all confused because the alarm didn't go off. I looked at the time to see that there was a half hour till school.

I rushed out of the bed. And down the hall to Finn's room. He was sitting there brushing Scarlett's hair.

"You guys there are 30 minutes till school starts! Why didn't you wake me up?" I shouted frantically. I ran back to my room and started getting ready.

Once I finished getting ready I walked downstairs to see that Carla made my breakfast to go. I grabbed that, my backpack, and lunch before running down to the town car that was waiting for me.

When I got to school I walked into the school, something seemed off. I walked into the student lounge room to see Betty, Veronica, Archie, Jughead, Sweet Pea and Toni? I stopped in my tracks when I saw all of the southsiders. My chest started to tighten up. I started to breath very deeply

"Hi guys. I'm Camille." I said with a big smile walking up to them. They all nodded. I went and sat next to jughead. Everyone was in their own conversation so I turned to him. "What the hell are they doing here Jug?" I whispered yelled at him.

"Mayor McCoy shut down Southside High. They're going here now. But don't worry I told them to act like they don't know you." Jughead said reassuringly. I nodded then pulled out my phone. The bell then rang. I stood up and started to walk to french with Archie.

"So what do you think about the southsiders?" I asked him as we walked down the hall. He turned to me and shook his head.

"They're the ones to who shot my dad almost killing them so what do you think?" He said. I rolled my eyes as we walked into the classroom.

After school when I got home Dad and Mom were sitting in the living room. I stopped in my tracks with my siblings behind me. Scarlett ran over to Dad and gave him a big hug.

"Hi Daddy. Hello mother. What are you doing her daddy?" I asked as I sat down next to next to him

"Oh we were just talking about what the plans for you guys this summer was." Dad explained. We all nodded. "Because I want you guys to hang out with the Serpent's more. You all seemed to get along really well." Dad said. I looked over to see mom roll her eyes.

"And I of course have our big family vacation planned. I think this'll be the best one yet." Mom said with a proud smile on her face.

"Okay. Well I'm going to meet Jughead down at Pop's for homework help." I said. I got up and gave Dad a hug before leaving.

When I got to Pop's Toni and Jughead were waiting outside for me. I waved as I walked up.

"Hi guys. Where's Sweet Pea?" I asked while looking around.

"He said he was busy. But do you want to come down to the Whyte Wyrm with us right now. Maybe eat there?" Toni asked. I shrugged. "Wait do you have your serpent jacket right now?" She asked.

"No but it's at my dad's. We can just stop on our way over. I'll tell him I need to wash it." I said.

We then went and got my jacket then to the Whyte Wyrm. We walked inside and it was pretty empty except for a couple of people at the bar. And Fangs and Sweet Pea playing pool.

"What the hell Sweet Pea you said you were busy? But you're here playing pool?" I spat him. He turned around and chuckled. I stood there with my arms crossed and I rolled my eyes.

"Who said I wanted to see you again?" He asked. He took a step closer to me and crossed his arms.

"You did you fucking idiot! You did the other night." I yelled in his face. He just stood there with a stupid smirk on his stupid handsome face. I walked up to him with and took a deep breath. I then slapped him as hard as I possibly could.

I heard everyone gasp. I took some deep breaths. Sweet Pea's eyes and mine were locked together. I turned around to Jughead and walked towards him slowly. Sweet Pea grabbed my arm. I looked at him then yanked it out.

"We're leaving." I said quietly to Jughead and Toni.

The next day at school I walked into the student lounge and Veronica was sitting there with Kevin. I smiled and sat on the chair across from them.

"Hi Cami! I love your top."  Kevin said with a smile.

"Thanks Kev. What are you guys doing?" I asked. Veronica put her phone on the table.

"Nothing. Just talking about Kevin's numerous love encounters in the woods." Veronica joked. He rolled his eyes at her. I chuckled a little.

"Well we need to find you a man Kevin. Any guys would be lucky to have you." I said.

"Awwwww. Thanks Cami this is why I love you." He said. I smiled back at him. Archie walked in and Veronica greeted him with a long an aggressive kiss. I rolled my eyes at them. He then came and sat down.

"So guys I've come up with this idea to protect all of Riverdale from that southside trash and to find the black hood. I'd call it the red circle. A group of us would be on watch around town. What do you guys think?" He asked. I shrugged.

"I don't know Archie." Kevin said.

"Archiekins it sounds like a phenomenal idea!" Veronica said and then gave him another kiss.

At lunch the cafeteria was filled. I looked around for spots. The only one I saw was with the Serpents. I looked around one more time before slowly walking over to them.

"Hi guys could I sit here?" I asked nervously. They all looked up at me. Sweet Pea chuckled a little. "What? All I asked was if I could sit here." I said calmly.

"So now you want to be seen with us? When you need something? Funny how that works." Sweet Pea scoffed. I rolled my eyes at him.

"Sweet Pea please. I just need somewhere to sit." I whined. Toni moved Fang's stuff onto the floor.

"Here you can come sit next to me Cami." Toni said with a smile. I smiled back and sat down next to her. I looked across the lunch room to see Archie, Betty, and Veronica all staring at me. I looked down and just ate my lunch.
