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

30

*Natalie's POV

"Woah," I whispered under my breath as soon as Jughead and I walked into the lounge.

"What the hell?" Jughead exclaimed.

"Weatherbee gave them to us." Toni shrugged. "Said he understood that not every Southside student had the means to purchase Riverdale High acceptable clothes." I tried holding back my laughter.

"I thought I'd never see the day." I couldn't help but laugh. "Of Toni Topaz wearing kaki pants." I clapped circling around her. "And you," I laughed at Sweet Pea. "They have you in a turtle neck." He crossed his arms and glared at me. "Aw is my precious upset." I was going to hold is hand but he swatted it away.

"I don't get why you're laughing." He sat there smirking. "Weatherbee gave us an outfit for you too." My smile instantly dropped.

"Fuck no. I'm not gonna look like some idiot." I spat. "No offense." I turned to Toni.

"None taken." She sighed.

"Wait," I looked around the lounge. "Where's Fogarty?"

"He wouldn't wear the uniform, so they got rid of him," Sweet Pea stood up from the arm rest. "Suspended him." I stood there in disbelief.

"So our choices are conform or be cast out," Jughead exclaimed.

"Basically," Toni mumbled crossing her arms.

"I'm gonna go give that asshole a piece of my mind." I was about to walk away.

"Not so fast," I turned and looked at Sweet Pea. "You already got suspended." I sighed.

"Fine," I pointed at Jughead. "You better do something about this."

"I know. I got it." He put his hands up. "I'll see what I can do." I nodded my head.

He better.

"Come on out." I hear Sweet Pea shout on the other side of the door.

"No." I yelled back as I stood in front of the sink.

"Princess," he knocked on the door.

"I look fucking ridiculous." I mumbled. I grabbed my bag off of the sink and made my way to the door.

"Prin-..." I pulled opened the door and Sweet Pea almost lost his balance since he was leaning on the door.

"Happy now?" I grumbled pulling my bag over my shoulder.

"Yeah," he bit his lip.

"Don't." I pointed my finger at him.

"Aw, come on you don't look that bad," he snickered.

"I hate you." I glared up at him.

"Sure you do." He bent down and kissed the top of my head. "Now let's go we have bio." I groaned and dragged my legs behind him.

I hate bio.

"Welcome to the inaugural meeting of the Swords and Serpents Club." I sat crisscrossed on the teacher's desk and peeled my banana as Jughead spoke to the serpents.

"Which is what, exactly?" Toni asked the question that everyone was wondering.

"Well like I told Fogarty to lure him back to dear ol' Riverdale High, we're a gaming group."  Fangs smiled. "Sanctioned by Mr. Weatherbee, himself." I bit into my banana as Jughead kept going on and on. "Where like minded students can meet and concoct world building, role playing scenarios, inhabiting fantastical heroes and mythological creatures." Toni scoffed and crossed her arms.

"No, but really?"

"Man Jug, out with it already." I slapped him on the back. He talks too much. He shot a death glare at me. "What you're talking to much." I shrugged my shoulders and looked back at the serpents who were snickering at our banter.

"Like I was saying," he turned his attention on the serpents. "It's a club, for us." I smiled, see that wasn't so hard. "A safe haven where we can be serpents, during school hours and under everyone's noses." Jughead smirked. "We're not shedding our skins. We're lying low, in the tall grass." I got off the desk and patted his back.

"You did good, Jones. You did good." I complimented him. I walked away from him and went to stand next to Sweet Pea.

He smiled as I approached him but said nothing. He simply intertwined our fingers and stared back up at Jughead.

Looks like things are looking up for us.
