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

36

*Natalie's POV

"What's up FP?" I answered my phone.

"Nat, you won't bel-"

"Hold on FP," I pulled the phone away from my ear.

"Will you quit it, you dick." I yelled at Fangs, who kept throwing Toni's grapes at me.

"I'm sorry FP," I apologized. "What's up?"

"We get to stay!" He exclaimed.

"What are you talking about, FP? Stay where?" The younger serpents got quiet and looked at me.

"Hiram, paid our debt in full!" He yelled over the phone.

"Well, looks like I have to shake his hand after all." I let out a dry laugh.

"Looks like you do." FP laughed.

Yeah, right. Over my dead body.

"Oh and FP?"

"What is it girl?"

"Let's celebrate," I smirked. "Party at my place."

"You hear that guys!" I heard FP yell into the distance. "Party at Nat's place!" I heard cheering in the background.

"Okay, I gotta go. I'll see you soon." He rushed and hung up.

I hung up and placed my phone done and grabbed Fangs' apple.

"So, are you gonna tell us what happened?" Toni gave me a questioning look.

"Oh yeah," I nodded my head. "Our back rent has been paid in full, so we get to stay." They began to cheer amongst one another.

I got up from my seat at the lunch table and slung my bag over my shoulder.

"Where are you going?" Sweet Pea spoke up.

"Didn't you hear?" I looked at him. "I'm hosting, so let's get the hell out of here and celebrate." They all got up excitedly ready to leave.

"Nat, do you not see what I see?" I let out a heavy sigh and sat up.

"Jug, all I see is a win." I explained. "Just let it go man." Sweet Pea smirked and placed his hands on my hips.

"So you're okay with Hiram buying the trailer park?"

"Wait, what?" I was suddenly more interested in what Jughead had to say. "What do you mean, he bought the trailer park?" I got off of Sweet Pea and was now on my feet.

"Yeah, you didn't know that?"

"No, I didn't. You're dad..." I trailed off.

"Nat?" Jughead spoke through the phone.

"I gotta go." I hung up and opened my room door and walked up to FP that was in the living room celebrating.

"Hey Nat, where you been?" I pulled him away from the group and out the door to around back. "What the hell has gotten into you, girl?" He pulled away from me.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I barked.

"Tell you what?" He yelled.

"That Hiram Lodge bought the trailer park." I spat.

"Oh no," FP shook his head. "Not you too." He sighed. "I can barely deal with Jughead's conspiracies and now you want me to deal with your's too." He yelled.

"FP, nobody just buys a piece of land and then covers a whole bunch of people's back rent for no reason, and lets them still live there!" I yelled back.
