Queen of the Serpents- [Sweet Pea] // Riverdale

3

*Natalie's POV

"He really said that to you," Toni asked trying to hold back a smile.

"Made me look like a damn fool," I muttered.

"Well looks like the Queen Serpent got a taste of her own medicine," She was now full out laughing.

"Oh shut it Topaz," I rolled my eyes at her. "And how many times have I told you to quit calling me that shit." I downed the rest of my drink. I should have never told her what went down with Sweet Pea and I a few days ago, but she was basically the only friend I had, other than Fangs. She was currently working behind the bar as I sat on the other side and kept her company just to make time pass by a lot quicker, that and I always just so happened to be at the Wyrm almost all the time. "Give me another," I held the empty glass midair. She crossed her arms and glared at me. "Please." I asked more nicely this time. She sighed and gave me another drink.

"Yo Toni," Hog Eye called her name out. We both looked towards the older man as he held a clipboard in his hand and he was a bit farther down the bar. "I need you to make sure that all the deliveries came in already."

"Duty calls," I joked earning a slap on the arm from Toni as she walked off mumbling how much she hated delivery duty.

I turned around in my stool and was now just scanning the room. It was a pretty full night tonight at the Wyrm. Most of the serpents were either playing pool, drinking, or just hanging out. It was a pretty chill night or so I thought.
I saw Joaquin come into the bar and I instantly lit up. Thank god I had someone else to talk to since Toni was away counting boxes. I was standing up with my drink in hand ready to walk over to Joaquin when I saw three other guys come trailing in behind him.

They were Northsiders.

My phone buzzed and I pulled it out reading a text that I got from FP.

Keep an eye on them. I'm gonna make a quick call.

I looked up at the stair case where FP's office was and saw him looking down at me. I nodded my head and slid my phone back into my pocket making my way towards Joaquin.

"Joaquin what's up," I asked looking at him and then back at the three guys. One of them looked like he got beat up not that long ago. While as for the other two, I recognized. One of them was Keller's boy, the one I met at the drive-in the other day and the red head was Archie Andrews. I had met Archie through Jughead when we were younger. The three of us would play outside of Jughead's trailer.

"Nothing," he looked at the three guys behind him and then at me. "We just came to play some pool is all." Bullshit.

"Well then you won't mind if I watch," I rather stated then asked.

"No not at all," Kevin answered rather quickly.

I sat on the edge of the pool table as Joaquin and Kevin were playing pool, but Archie and the guy who's name I later found out to be was Moose, seemed very distant as if they were in their own little world.

"Pay up," Joaquin told Kevin as he made the eight ball in.

"I am gonna get this back, right?" Kevin looked at Joaquin as he began to take out his wallet.

"You wish preppy," Joaquin smiled but it soon faded as he looked at me. I rolled my eyes and looked towards Archie and Moose.

"Is that one of them," Archie asked Moose. I followed their eye line and saw them staring at a group of older serpents.

"Can't tell," Moose paused. "He looks kinda familiar." Who the hell were they talking about?

"Red," I yelled getting off the pool table to try and stop him as he made his way towards the group of men.
