Public Knowledge (Sweet Pea x Reader)

The Confrontation

"So," Toni started, dropping into the seat across the table from Sweet Pea. "Are you going to tell me what's going on with you and Y/N Y/L/N or am I going to have to get Betty and Jughead to sleuth it out?"

Sweet Pea looked up at her, finishing chewing on his burger before he placed his food back on his tray to answer. "What are you talking about?"

Toni sighed, rolling her eyes. "I was running late to practice yesterday when I passed by this classroom and I could have sworn I saw you in there hugging her. Maybe it was some other giant in a Serpents jacket though." Toni leaned on her hand, smirking at Sweet Pea. "So, again, what's going on between you and Y/N Y/L/N?"

"Nothing," Sweet Pea answered, tightly, punctuating the lie with a very jerky shrug.

"Ok, so when you picked up her book for her the other day it was just a random act of kindness?"

"Yep," he let the p pop before taking another bite.

"And when you went crazy on Cheryl for making fun of her?"

"I got tired of Cheryl being a bitch." The hamburger muffled his words, but Toni's face still went dark.

"Watch it," she warned lowly. "And don't try to make me mad to change the subject. You like Y/N. How did you two even get to know each other anyway? Is she why you stay after school?"

"We don't know each other." Sweet Pea glared, pushing up from the table. "And even if we did it's none of your damn business." Sweet Pea grabbed his tray, chucking the rest of his lunch in the trash can as he stormed away.
