Youngblood // Sweet Pea

5

The next few days were hectic, I went with Toni and Cheryl to pick out an outfit for the opening of the speakeasy.

The next night, Reggie picked me up no later than 7 with flowers.

"You look beautiful, baby."
"You don't look to bad yourself, handsome."

We went together as a couple and Sweet Pea definetly noticed.

"What the hell, Mina?"
"What do you mean, Sweet Pea?"

"I mean you going with Reggie when you know that's Josis's ex."
"Not my girlfriend, not my issue."

I had fun with Reggie, he brought the best in me, like Sweet Pea did. Reggie healed the hole that Sweet Pea put in my heart and soul.

We danced until we couldn't anymore, my face hurt from smiling so much.

He took me home no later than 12.
"Thank you Reggie. I had fun tonight."
"I had fun too. Thank you for allowing me to take you out."
"Stop, you're a weirdo. Thank you again Reg, drive safe, good night."
"Good night beautiful."

The following morning Betty called me down to the diner, only me, telling me not to bring anyone else.

I walked to the booth where Betty sat, she had her computer out, as she typed away.

"Please, have a seat, I ordered for you already."

"Thank you, I trust you have something to share."

"Yes, last night, I got my mom to speak on her experience of G and G. I found out somethings I wanted to run by you before I did jug."

"Ok, I'm all ears."

Pops came with our orders, we both thanked him as he left.

"It was their junior year, it's our junior year."

I pulled out a pen and a piece of paper so I could connect thoughts together as she went.

"They mysteriously found the game, we have two suicides and one attempt from the newly discovered game."

I connected lines as I went, understanding what she was saying as it was leaving her month.

"The night the gargoyle king rose they were all high, and Principal featherhead died."

I noted this down before asking whoses parents played this game.

"Penople, Hermione, Fred, Seirra, FP, my mom, your mom, Hiram, Tom, Reggies dad, Diltons dad, and a few other people, not all names were mentioned."

"If they knew something, why wouldn't they share their experiences to warn us. If they knew about Featherhead's death, why wouldn't they share?"

"My mom said the more you play it the more you become compelled to play it. It's like it's molding into children's minds."

I scribbled some more notes down, letting my mind race as I did.

"I need you to look into Featherhead's death more."

"Will do."

We finished up with our Milkshakes and fries.

"Will you come with me to Diltons bunker? Jugheads down there."

"Yeah, for sure."

We payed on our way out to the woods.

"It's just around the corner."

I followed her to the door. She twisted the wheel to the door. She held it open for me as I slithered down the ladder.

"Jughead I have something to tell you."
