Blake and Toni sat at a high counter watching Blake's screen. "I swear Archie is so damn dumb." Blake whispered shutting off her phone. "I should get to school, don't be late Keller." "Bye Topaz." Blake left the Wym and headed to school. "Morning Blake." "Morning Sweet Pea."
"Well..?"
"Well what?"
"We told Topaz about us a few weeks ago, she hasn't told anyone right?"
"Toni keeps good on her promises. Don't worry about it." "Since we told your best friends, can we tell my best friend?" "Fine, Fangs is the final person we tell." "See you later love." Sweet Pea teased.
"You know I hate that nickname."
"Yes, I know. Don't be late."
"Don't skip." Blake retorted back. "Fine you win." "I always do." Blake said kissing him quickly before walking away.

Fangs and Blake ran out the store smiling and laughing. Sweet Pea came out shortly after. "Okay, okay, okay. Let me just this straight. You two have been dating since...?" "Since a one night stand after we first met at the Wyrm." Blake finished. "Colorful." Fangs joked. Sweet Pea wrapped an arm around Blake.
"Hey!" Sweet Pea shouted at someone tagging a building. "What're you doing?" "Back off, I'm not here for you." Archie said. "Hey Sweet Pea back off. I got this one." Blake whispered. "Who's this message for huh?" Archie stood silent and kept looking at Blake.
"Aw Hell, don't tell me it's for the Black Hood. You believe this guy?" "Sweet Pea." Blake whispered tightening her grip on his wrist as a warning.
"And people say we're the trouble markers. You can't come here and tag our turf. Get your ass back to the North side before someone gets hurt."
"Get out of my way or someone will get hurt." Archie threatened. "Archie don't." Blake said softly.
"You just made a big mistake." Sweet Pea said flipping open is pocket knife. "Sweet Pea!" Blake whispered.
"Blake, why are you here anyways?" "Leave her out of this." Fangs said softly. "None of your damn business Andrews!" Blake said. Archie reached in his jacket and pulled out gun. "Who made a mistake? Who made a mistake!?" "Archie stop!" Blake shouted.
"Cmon Blake." Sweet Pea whispered. "No. Go. I'm going to kick his ass." Sweet Pea reluctantly let go of her wrist and ran off with the rest of the Serpents. "Blake."
"I swear to God Archie... can you get any dumber?" Blake asked crossing her arms.

Blake sat in chem. class when Weatherbee and her dad walked in. "Sorry to interrupt, Dr. Phylum, but Sheriff Keller and I need to see Archie Andrews in the hallway." Archie and Veronica looked at each other and Archie looked back at the two adults.
He stood up and Veronica stood up too. "I'm sorry Principal Weatherbee but the T-shirts were my idea, not Archie's."
"This is not about T-shirts, Miss Lodge. Please sit down."
"It's okay Ronnie there's nothing to worry about." Archie whispered. The three walked out to talk in the hallway. Blake looked around, she hoped her dad didn't find out about her trips to the South side.

"Why'd you do it?" Blake asked Sweet Pea.
"Do what?"
"You know exactly what."
"Please, enlighten me."
"The knife."
