I walk into Pops with Betty, Veronica and Kevin, the place I grew up in. I remember sipping milkshakes in here with Archie, Jughead and Betty since we were kids. As I close the door behind us a voice breaks our ongoing conversation.
"My my my, there's a face I never thought I'd see again," I look to see Pop smiling behind the counter. I walk over and give him a hug. " Let me guess, Marilyn Monroe" his nickname for you " strawberry milkshake, extra whipped cream and extra sprinkles,". You give him a thumbs up before walking over to a booth.
"So Mari, did you meet anyone hot on your travels?" Kevin enquires with a cheeky grin on his face.
"A lady doesn't kiss and tell," I reply " but Harry Styles smells really good!" I giggle. The bell on the door chimes and in walks three Serpents: Jughead, Fangs and Sweet Pea. You make eye contact with Sweet Pea before rolling your eyes. He laughs to himself.
Jughead slides in next to Betty whilst Fangs and Sweet Pea stand.
"So my dad has decided to throw a welcome back party at the Whyrm in your honour, Friday night," Jughead laughs. "He forgot my birthday last year but he's throwing you a party".
"Of coarse he is, she's the princess after all," Sweet Pea mutters loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Do you have a problem with me?" I ask, keeping eye contact.
"I thought Cheryl was bad, but you're a BITCH. Did your Mom not teach you any manners ,"he laughs and fist bumps Fangs. The top of my lip twitches before I turn to the others.
"Jughead you have my milkshake, I have homework to do. Enjoy!" I hug them goodbye before brushing past Sweet Pea and Fangs.
As I walk out, I hear Jughead hiss at Sweet Pea. "You son of a bitch, her Mom died last year. That's one of the main reasons she left Riverdale!"
———————————————————————————I finish my Trig as Party Favour by Billie Eilish comes on the radio. I shut my Mac Book and start to remove my mascara. My phone then pings.

Mari: It's fine, you wouldn't have known. I actually did have homework to do.

As the conversation ends I realised I'm smiling like an idiot into my phone.
