Priceless- Sweet Pea

Life of a southside Vixen

"This isn't a demolition notice. It's a notice of extermination." Jughead crumpled up the paper in his hands.
I sat next to Fangs on a desk as we listened to Jughead. The Serpents made a 'Club' so we could have our own time to hang out away from the NorthSiders. But we used it as a meet up area.
"We've already said goodbye to SouthSide, Jughead," Toni states.
"Today, it's SouthSide, tomorrow it's the world." Jughead tries to get us to side with him. "Everything that makes the SouthSide home, is gonna disappear." I watch as Jughead does all these weird hand motions which I didn't understand. I would've helped him convince them, but in situations like this I'm usually the quiet one. "If we roll over now, it's all over."
"It's just a building, Jug." Toni tries to explain but is cut off by Jughead.
"-No!" Toni, it's the soul of the SouthSide. The Uktena fought hard and died trying to protect that land. Our parents fought to keep it safe during the riots. Now it's our turn, it's our fight." I scrunch my face at Jugs cheesy quote. "This is our fight! So who's with me?" Jughead looks around the room. "Who's ready to go to war?"

  The bell rings and we walk out the door. This was the last period other than cheerleading of course which was an after school thing. Toni catches up with me and I slow down for her to rearrange her stuff. "Your fast woman," Toni exclaimed finally getting her stuff in order. I chuckle and we head to the locker room to change for cheer practice.
  I open the doors of the locker room and open my locker grabbing my outfit. After changing, us and all of the other girls headed to the gym. It seemed like most of the girls on the cheer squad had accepted Toni and I being Serpents. Cheryl gives us the routine which included having to flip someone in the air. No one wanted to do it so Cheryl searched the crowd before her eyes landed on mine. Her cherry red lips formed a smile. "Shana, darling. You can be the one we flip in the air.
  My eyes widen. "Who- me?" I ask shocked pointing to myself.
  "Yes you," Cheryl rolled her eyes and started the music. "Okay from the top ladies, except at the end flip Shana in the air." Cheryl said it as if it were so easy.
   Even after several attempts, I still couldn't flip in the air. It wasn't me, it was some of them. A few had shaking hands as they held me up which caused me to almost loose my balance. I jump down groaning annoyed. "Cheryl this is never going to work!" I tell her putting my hands on my hips.
  "Again!" She yelled going to the music player. I sighed and straightened my ponytail. Out of the corner of my eye I see a few girls whispering and glancing at me. I shrug it off and do the routine again. But when it came to the flip, the girls I saw whispering earlier stepped back not balancing me. This caused the others to lose balance, and me to hit the ground straight on my shoulder. I get up like nothing happened. What? this is nothing compared to getting stabbed. I turn around with fury in my eyes. "Your motherfu-"
   I was cut off by Toni. "Hey! I saw what you did there! You mess with my friend you mess with me!" She walks up to where I was standing glaring at the girls. We were interrupted by Cheryl.
   "Okay everyone calm down. Shana you go home take a break, and as for you four.." she squints her eyes looking at the girls who dropped me. "I'll have to deal with you later." The girls stare at the red head with fear. I start walking out when Toni stops me.
  "Hey you Okay?" She asks me.
  "Yeah, I'm good, honestly it doesn't hurt that much." I chuckle. "But I swear if those girls pull anything like that again-"
  "-yeah I know I know. They won't live to see another day, blah blah blah." We laugh and we come to a stop when we reach the door. "See you later Shana."
  "Later pinkie," I wink and wave goodbye as I walk out.

  When I got home I hopped on the couch, and turned on the TV. SweetPea and Fangs wouldn't be home for a while since they were at basketball tryouts. I think of my boyfriend in a basketball jersey and smile to myself. My two boys were trying out for basketball. I watch tv until drifting asleep.

Fangs POV

  SweetPea and I get home after basketball practice to see the Tv on inside. We open the door and I look on the couch to see my sister passed out on it. I chuckle nudging Pea. "Hey man look."
  He smiles and I grab her taking her in her room. SweetPea follows suit. I dont mind them being in the same room since I knew SweetPea and also knew that Shana didn't believe in underage sex. And as much as SweetPea or myself did, she'd never do it.

  "Night pea." I whisper heading for my room.
  "Goodnight." I heard as I close the door of my room. Heading over to my phone I pull out my messages.

  New message:

Midge😊- Hey Fogarty how did basketball tryouts go?
Fangs🐍- Hey Midge, it went well, SweetPea and I made the cut.
Midge texting: (•••)
Midge😊- Great! How's Shana? Those girls were jerks for dropping her on the ground like that.
Fangs🐍- what are you talking about?
Midge😊- she didn't tell you? A few Vixens dropped her on her shoulder while we were attempting to do a flip. She seemed pretty mad
Fangs🐍- Oh when we got home Shana was asleep lol
Midge😊- Oh, hope she's okay. Anyways bye Fangs
Fangs- later

   I turn off my phone thinking about the information I've been given. I decide to leave it till the morning and fall asleep.
