Toni, Jughead, Fangs, Sweet Pea and I walk into Riverdale High, with all the other South-Side High students, I see Veronica and Archie standing at a desk, with Kevin and Josie behind them.

"Hi friends, welcome to Riverdale High, we have set up a registration table for you to get your locker combinations and timetable," Veronica says, cheerfully.

"Shut it, Eva Peròn" I hear a familiar voice say, Cheryl Blossom.

"There's that school spirit that I so fondly remember," Jughead says as Cheryl, Reggie and all the cheerleaders walk down the staircase behind Veronica.

"Cheryl, No one invited Fascist Barbie to the party" Veronica replies sassily, and turns to face Cheryl and her little group.

"No one invited Southside scum and the Serpent slut herself to our school," Cheryl says. I clench my hands into fists and anger grows inside because she called me a Serpent slut. "I will not allow Riverdales above average GPA to suffer because of classrooms overcrowded with... underachievers. So please do us all a favour and find some other school you can deface with your hard scrubber ways. Oh and take Serpent slut with you" Cheryl says rudely.

I clench my hands even harder and walk toward Cheryl. "Why don't you come over here and say it to my face," I say angrily, and Cheryl smirks.

"Happily, you dirty Serpent whore" Cheryl replies crossing her arms. I go to punch her in the face but Sweet Pea pulls me back.

"Don't ever call my girlfriend that again or you won't like what will happen" Sweet Pea threatens, causing Cheryl to back up a little bit.

Toni, Fangs, Jug, Sweet Pea and I sit in the student lounge with Veronica, Archie and Kevin.

"I don't think I've introduced myself yet, I'm Veronica" V says sticking her hand out to Toni.

"I'm Toni Topaz" Toni replies shaking her hand.

"Oh, like the purple-coloured gemstone," Veronica says, smiling and Toni slightly smiles back.

Kevin introduces himself and asks Fangs his name. Fangs answers then asks if Kevin's last name is Keller and Kev says yes, then asks why. Fangs says something about hanging out with Joaquin and how they talked about Kevin a lot, but I was to busy in my own mindset to listen properly.

"Babe" I hear Sweet Pea's voice, causing me to snap out of my thoughts, and I shift on his lap looking at him.

"Kevin asks you a question" Sweet Pea says.

"What's your name?" Kevin asks smiling, and I look at him shocked, even one of my own best friends doesn't recognise me.

"Are you serious? Kevin" I ask grabbing the hair tie off my wrist and tie my hair into a ponytail like I used to.

"Oh my god, it's queen bee herself. Karisma Montel, well Jones" Kevin says, standing up shocked. "Bring it in bestie," Kevin says smiling, and I get up off Sweet Pea's lap. I walk over to Kevin and he pulls me into a tight hug. I awkwardly hug back and pat his back.

"Karisma, is that an engagement ring on your finger?" Betty asks as she grabs my left hand to look at the promise ring Sweet Pea gave me for Christmas.

"No, it's a promise ring. Pea gave it to me for Christmas" I answer as I look back at Sweet Pea.

"You and I are going to have a catch-up session, come on," Kevin says grabbing my hand, and he drags me out of the student lounge.

As I sit in my bedroom, my phone goes off. I pick up my phone and see that Sweet Pea texted me.
S: I know you're home alone so why don't you come over
K: I'm down
S: Good, see you soon x
K: See you in a couple minutes x

I get off my bed and put on my sneakers. I put my phone in my back pocket of my jeans then leave the trailer. I walk into Sweet Pea's trailer and hang up my Serpent jacket. "Sweet Pea" I call out but I don't get a reply. I look around his trailer to see if he is hiding from me but I can't find him anywhere. I start to freak out because he might have been taken or attacked. I grab my phone out and go to call him but I hear the front door of his trailer open. I walk out of Sweet Pea's bedroom and see him hanging up his Serpent jacket. I run to him and hug him.

"Woah, baby. What's with this?" Sweet Pea asks as he gently hugs me back.

"I came here and you weren't here so I thought something happened to you" I answer.

"Well I'm perfectly fine, I left to get you these" Sweet Pea says as we pull away from the hug. He holds out a bouquet of red rose and smiles.

"Awe, thank you, Sweets," I say as I carefully take the roses.

"Anything for my princess" Sweet Pea replies then kisses my forehead.

"What would you like to do?" Sweet Pea asks.

"Can we watch a movie and cuddle?" I ask and Sweet Pea nods.

"Of course" he answers.
