When we arrived and walked through the doors all eyes were mostly on me. We walked over to the bar were there was a pink haired serpent. "Hey Toni" aunt Gladys said. "Hey, who might this be" Toni replied. "Shes my niece I was hoping you intoduce her to the teen serpents" she said pointing to the pool table were 4 boy serpents were sitting and playing. "Sure" Toni said while my aunt walked away. "So whats your name" Toni asked. "Elizabeth Cooper" I said with a light sigh. "Cooper as in Alice Coopers daughter aka the old serpent queen" Toni said shocked. "Yeah" I said looking down. "What happened to her all I know is that she moved to the Northside" Toni added. "Since I guess I could trust you she died from an oberdose of drugs and now I moved in woth my aunt Gladys" I said getting misty eyes but I didnt want to cry and show Im weak in a gang's bar so I just rubbed my eyes and looked up. "Oh, im sorry" she said with a frown. "Its fine" I said with a weak smile. "If it makes you feel better I don't have parents anymore so I live with a foster family and the serpents are also my family, you should join since your already a serpent by blood" she said with a smirk. And that made me finally get the answer I wanted. "I should" I said. Aunt Gladys walked over again with a big smile on her face. "Toni your shifts over you can talk to the boys now, also did you make your mind up yet" she asked me. "Yeah, and I could really use a family right now" I replied. Ive never seen someone so happy. "Thats great now Ill ask Fp to set up a small party for your intuition" she left me and Toni again. "What does she mean by that" I asked Toni. "When a girl joins the serpents they have to do this sextist dance that gets you in, but if just act like your alone you'll be fine, now lets go meet my friends" Toni explained.

We walked over to the boys playing pool with eachother. "Hey Toni , whos this" a really tall boy woth a round face and a serpent tattoo on his neck said. "Calm down Sweet Pea shes serpent by blood" Toni defended me. "Whats your name" a blacked haired boy with a beanie on asked. "Elizabeth Cooper" said in a low voice trying not to let tgwm hear my last name. "Cooper?" a tall man asked. "Yeah" I said scared of what was going to happen. "Your mom is Alice right and your is dad Hal" he said getting closer to me. "Yeah do you know them" I asked. "Yeah we were close growing up how are they" he asked. "Um well my dad is in jail for being abusive towards me and my mom and my mlm is well... dead from an overdose of drugs soo nkt that great" I said with a frown. "Oh, im sorry to hear" he apologized. "Its fine" I sighed. "Well liz if I can call you that, your a serpent by blood so we're here for ya" a boy slick back long hair said. "Well, can we all introduce ourselves again" Toni said trying to change the subject. "Sure, im Sweet Pea" the tall boy with the neck tattoo said. "Im Jughead Jones the third" the boy with the beanie said. "Im Fangs Fogarty" a boy with
U

neven slick hair said. "And last but not least im everybodys favorite gay bestfriend joaquin".the boy with the slick back long hair said. I pretty sure Kevin would be all pver him if he was here. God I missed Kevin and Cheryl. Me and Cheryl weren't best friends but we're friends and im sure she would like Toni if they ever meet which im sure they won't ever. "Nice to meet you all" I said with a fake smile but you can tell one or two of them noticed it was fake but didn't say anything.

I recognized Betty from the night I was getting high with Archie and I know why she mobed here. She was homeless and she didn't have a family but she did have her aunt and her did care about Betty alot. I saw that Betty was fake smiling when she said it was nice meeting us but I didn't want to say anything. "Well ima go get a drink" Betty said after checking her phone so I know she's not getting a drink instead she went outside and I followed. After 2 minutes of following her I found her smoking a cigarette outside the trailer she was staying at with her aunt. "You got another one of those" I said causing her to jump and made me smile. "What the hell are you followidng me" se questioned. "Ugh sorta" I replied scratching my neck. "Yeah here" she said while handing me one. "You know I know what happened that night between you and your mom" I said wanting to confess that ive seen her before. "Oh really and hkw id that" she said raising an eyebrow at me. "I was getting high with Archie when we saw you and your mom fighting he recorded it and I tild him to delete it because that personal but he didn't listen so he sent it to his girlfriend" I explained everything that happened that night all she did was sigh. "That was the past now I want to show that im not perfect and its okay that im not" she said. "I understant when I was 8 my mom left with my sister jellybean and left me with my drunk dad that leads the serpents now" I sighed. "Guess no one is perfect no matter how much they try to be" she says. I don't understand how something so bad can happen to someone so good. "And it's okay I know how it feels to loose a sibling" she says getting watery eyes. "I thought you were an only child" I said shocked. "Oh no I have 2 older siblings. The oldest name is Charles my mom had to give him up for adoption because he didn't have the same dad as me and my sister Polly. Polly committed suicide when she found out she lost the baby because of my dad when he gabe her strange pills" she said now letting tears come out her eyes. She wiped them away and stood up "lets get back to the wyrm" she said already walking.
