Liberty Wild | Jughead Jones

Football Star?

I was asleep without any noise until I heard jumping from right next to me "Wake up Liberty! Wake up!" My annoying little brother says, I have four brothers:" Jackson the oldest (18), Jacob 2 oldest (17), Alejandro my twin, the middle child along with me (15) and the youngest, Drew (11), "Ugh Drew, get off of me! I say yelling at him "Drew get off of her!" Alejandro says from the top bunk (Alejandro and I share a bedroom, he gets the top bunk at I get the bottom, Jackson shares a room with Jacob, and Drew sleeps in my moms room, Drew finally gets off of me and runs away, I get out of bed and start rubbing my eyes "What time is it?" I ask Alejandro, "7am, better hurry up before mom comes in and beats your ass." He says warning me, I get up and clean my face and tie my hair up into a messy bun, I put some grey leggings and a black crop top sweater, I start walking down stairs "Got ya!" Drew says while he says jumping on to my back "No you don't!" I say slamming him into the wall "Ow!" Drew says in pain "Maybe don't fuck with me next time." I say walking down the stairs "Hey! who is using that language?!" mom says from the kitchen, no one answers, by brothers and I made a pack not to snitch on each other no matter what we did because as Jackson says "Snitches end up in ditches or if you lucky you'll just get stiches." so that's the code we follow in the house. I get down stairs all the boys are sitting at the table eating and talking "So, boys and girl, Riley is coming over for a week while her mom is away in New York! My mom says in an excited tone, she loves Riley, she once said that Riley was the daughter she never had she was taking about me in case you didn't notice, I'm not like most girls, I play football, basketball, soccer, you name it and I probably do it, most people at  Riverdale High bully me because Coach Clayton made a deal with the other teams we play against that I can play, most people say I'm transgender because I play what they say only boys are allowed to play, but I'm not, I just brush it off and keep playing, so anyway Riley is my cousin and she is this bitchy fashionista and she hates me cause when I was about 8 I started playing football with one of her most expensive heals and I throw it at her and I hit her face and she got a cut, but I feel like that was a good shot, I don't feel bad about it, I praise myself for it. "Kill me now." I whisper to Alejandro "What was that Liberty?"  my mom asks in a sassy tone "I said kill me now, you know how much I hate Riley, she is a fucking bitch!" I yell, all my brothers look at me because no one would dare to cuss in front of my mom "Whoo!" Alejandro yelled to show that he was on my side for this argument, I gave him a hi five while my mom and my other brothers stand there in shock "Liberty and Alejandro that's enough! Stop cussing stop cheering each other own for bad behavior!" mom says yelling at us, we didn't really care "Imma leave now" I say grabbing my bag and other stuff "bye mom." I say leaving out of the front door.  I walk through the front door of the school and rush to my locker "Yo Wild! You gonna be on the Football team this year?" Reggie Mantle asks me "Yea, Clayton already offered me a stop on varsity." I say shoving everything into my locker, he looks at me with a jealous face "Well ummmmmmmm, imma be the captain of the team!  he says trying to one me up, "Oh so your going to me captain under pants, got it got it got it! I say laughing at him " No! Captain of the football team! he says "Okay, good luck with that Mantle." I say slamming my locker closed and walking away, I start walking to my first class which is science "Liberty, hey!" someone says from behind, I turn around to see Archie running towards me "Hey Arch, what's up?" I say while walking to the classroom "Not much,  I just didn't see you this whole summer." he says while we are both walking in the same direction to science "Yeah, um Alejandro and I went to Argentina for 2 weeks to visit my dad while Jackson, Jacob, Drew and my mom stayed here." I say to Archie "But summer break is more then 2 weeks." he says sounding a bit concerned "Yeah um then I basically just stayed in the house for the rest of summer break." I say lying to him because I didn't want to tell anyone that I went to Football Ball Camp and think I'm for real transgender (I'm not trans) I walk into class and take my seat "Okay everyone! Today you will need partners! The teachers says "I want to be with Cheryl!" Archie says "And I want to be with Betty!" A raven haired girl says that I've never seen before I was left to be with Jughead "I know your like a Football star here but there is no one else." Jughead says "Trust me, I'm not, but I wouldn't mind partnering with you." I say smiling at him "So um, who is gonna stab the frog?" I say awkwardly "If you don't want to do it I can." he says kindly "Can you do it? It'll make me feel bad." I say "Sure, but its not like you killed it, the frog was already dead." he says right after he stabs the frog right in the gut I flinch a little when he does so, after class I start walking to Math, nothing really happened, after 3 more classes was launch, I normally sit next to Archie, but he was with Betty and Kevin "Hey Arch, can I sit?" I ask him Betty kind of rolls her eyes at me but I don't really care "Sure, Yeah." Archie says and scooches over, then he starts to play some music that he wrote "Can I sit?" the raven haired girl asks Betty yet again rolls her eyes "Who are you?" The raven haired girl asks "Oh sorry I'm Liberty Wild." I say smiling "Veronica Lodge." she says as she puts her hand out to shake, I shake her hand and grab my stuff to get up and go to practice "Um I got to go." I say getting up from my seat "Why?" All three of them ask at the same time "Football practice, Archie you coming?" I ask him Veronica makes a weird face when I say football probably cause I know I'm a girl "Yeah, hang on." Archie says grabbing his stuff "Wait, Liberty you play football? Aren't you a girl-"before she can finish her sentence I say "Girl? Yeah I know" I walk away from the table with Archie but I overheard Veronica saying something to Kevin "Is she Transgender?" Veronica asks Kevin "I don't know she claims she isn't but everyone thinks she is." Kevin said to Veronica, Archie looks at me because we both could hear them talking about me "You okay?" Archie asks in a caring tone "No I'm not okay! I'm sick of everyone assuming things that they don't know the answers too." I start yelling at him "Maybe I should have stayed with my dad." I say to Archie looking down "What do you mean? Archie asks "My dad offered to let me stay with him because he knew how much I got bullied for playing football." I say to Arch, but he doesn't say anything back "Wild! Andrews! Mantle! Get over here I need to talk with you guys! Coach Clayton calls us over " Mantle, Wild you want to be Captain?" he asks us "Hell yeah" Reggie says to Clayton "Wilde? Would you want to get Captain?" Clayton asks and Archie and Reggie stare at me "I'd would love too, but I don't want to get bullied even more than I already am, so I appreciate the offer but ill have to decline."  I say all of them stare at me in shock "I respect that, you may go." Coach says I start walking away "Yo Liberty!" Archie yells at me from behind me "Yeah?" I ask him while walking toward my locker "Do you want to have some food at pops?" he asks me as we continue walking to my locker "Sure, and can I you do me a favor?" I ask "Sure, what is it?" Archie asks me "Do you or your dad mine if I stay at your house for a week while my bitchy cousin is in town?" I ask Archie "Yeah, sure of course." Archie says agreeing to let me stay at his place "Thanks." I say and walk outside "Liberty! Get in the car!" I look over to see Jackson in his truck "Sorry Arch, I didn't know Jackson was going to pick me up." I say running to the car "Its okay, see ya later? Archie says I nod really quick "Hurry up Liberty." Jackson says to me "K, chill." I say opening the car door, I put my bag on the floor and put my seat belt on "Who was that?" Jackson asks "Who was who?" I ask not knowing what he was talking about "The boy you were walking with? Red head." Jackson says while driving to the house "That guy? Oh Archie Andrews." I say, I grab out my phone and start texting Alejandro about staying at Archie's place  "So um riley is already at the house." Jackson says "Well she can cozy up cause I found a place to stay while she is there." I say looking out the window  "What?! Who are you staying with?" Jackson says nervously "Archie's place, he agreed." I say "Okay, but you know mom is not going to let you right?" he says parking the truck in front of the house "Well ill at least try." I say stepping out of the car and walking to the house "Honey! Your home! Riley is here!" Mom says all overly excited I roll my eyes and walk past her "Fuck my life!" I say to my mom walking up to my room, I slam the door shut and grab a duffle bag and start shoving my clothes, laptop, books, charger etc. "Woah, what are you doing?" Alejandro walks in and asks me "Leaving, for the time that Riley is here." I say grabbing my phone and walking out the room door "Got you again!" Drew says and jumps on my back like in the morning "Drew you do not want to push me right now." Drew starts jumping on me, I push him down and slap him "I told you not to push me right now you little bitch!" I slap him across the face "Yo Liberty stop!" Jacob says from his room and runs over and pushes me back, I start pushing him back trying to hit Drew again, Jacob pushes me into Jackson and his room "What the hell is wrong with you?!" Jacob asks me while I wiping away the blood from my right check from Drew scratching me "Just leave me Jacob!" I say grabbing my duffle bag and opening the door to go downstairs, I open the door I start walking to Archie's house, I knock on the door, come on Arch open the damn door, I think  "Hey Liberty" He says nervously "Hi, Arch, am I still able to stay over?" I ask him "My house is your house, come on in." he says leading me into the house "I can sleep on the couch." I say putting my stuff down, basically the rest of the day we played video games, football and ate we didn't do anything special "Night Liberty." Archie says "Thanks Arch, for everything." I say and smile, Archie smiles back and walks up the stairs. Last night was easy to go t sleep cause Drew wasn't there to annoy me.
