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

23

*Natalie's POV

"So, why haven't you sung for me yet." I groaned.

"Who told you?" I looked at Sweet Pea.

"Some birdie." He smiled.

"Two bacon cheese burgers without ketchup." FP set the plates in front of us.

"Thanks FP." I smiled at him.

"Yeah, thank you FP." Sweet Pea nodded at him.

"So about that singing..." Sweet Pea looked back at me as FP left.

"Oh shut up and eat your burger." I chuckled making him laugh as well.

"Why did you stop?" Sweet Pea asked as he bit into his burger. I picked up a french fry and just shrugged.

"You can't ju-" A crash from the other side of the diner cut Sweet Pea off. I looked over and saw a broken milkshake glass near the Blossom girl's table.

"Clean that up, Plebe." She spat. Jughead turned around in the bar stool and looked at me. "Just like the way you did my brother's blood." She glared at FP. That's when I got up and walked over to them.

"Hey, you want t-"

"Guys, don't." FP stared at the both of us. He bent down to pick up the glass.

"We'll get you another milkshake right away. On the house." FP stood up and motioned for us to sit down.

"You try pulling that shit again..." I threatened, pointing my finger at her.

"Nat." FP scolded. "Go back to your date with Sweet Pea." He pointed to the other side of the diner.

"It's not a date." I grumbled and went back to Sweet Pea's and I table.

"So, what is this then?" Sweet Pea asked as soon as I sat down.

"Sweets," I sighed.

"Nat!"

"What, Jughead?" I groaned as he stood next to our table.

"We're gonna throw my dad a party." I rolled my eyes and looked behind him. Betty gave me a nervous smile and a small wave. I looked back at Jug and sighed.

"Fine."

"Alright, so I was wondering if you can take Betty to check out the Wyrm." He asked.

"I said alright, Jughead. Now leave me the hell alone." I yelled at him.

"Okay," he breathed out. "You didn't have to yell." He mumbled taking back his seat right next to Betty.

"So, I take it that it's a no on letting me hear you sing." I just glared at Sweet Pea.

"I see you guys have a stage." Betty commented.

"What? You think because we're in a gang, we're some savages and don't like entertainment." I mocked her.

"No, I wasn't saying that. I just... I w-"

"Loosen the pony tail, Nancy Drew. It was a joke." I could hear Toni snicker behind me.

"Well would you be open to me bringing in a karaoke machine?" She asked Toni.

"For FP's retirement?" Toni looked at me then at Betty. "Sure, why not." She smirked. "And maybe we could hear you sing that night, Nat."

"You sing?" Betty turned to me.

"No, I don't." I picked up my glass and drank my beer.

"Oh I also wanted to talk to you guys about something else." Betty spoke up. What on earth could Miss Nancy Drew possibly want? "I've been walking the razor's edge since Jughead joined the serpents and all I've been thinking is..." She trailed off.
