The following day hit the three-day mark and just like the day before, Jack and Reggie were spending lunch together in the Student Lounge room, yet neither of them was actually eating lunch.
It was quiet between them for a long moment until Reggie spoke up, "You never go to my football games," He suddenly stated, causing Jack to turn her head to look at him.
"And should I?" Jack questioned him curiously, a smile on her face as she turned to face him fully.
"If you want to," Reggie replied, shrugging his shoulders in response, "But I mean, you are my girlfriend. Wouldn't you want to be out there on the bleachers, cheering on your super hot boyfriend?" He asked her with a large grin on his face.
Jack tried to stand her ground, not really wanting to go to a stupid football game. As she stared him for a long moment, Reggie continued to smile, causing Jack to smile also, "You know what? Fine," She decided, "I'll be there tonight. As you put it, I'll be 'cheering on my super hot boyfriend'."
Reggie leaned forward, attacking her with kisses, causing her to start laughing hysterically.
It was moments like those that was really starting to get to Jack lately. She was genuinely happy, for once. But she knew it had to come to an end on Halloween, no matter how she felt about Reggie. She knew being a Serpent was more important to her. It had to be.

That night at the football game, Jack was walking toward the bleachers when she saw Sweet Pea sitting on his motorcycle in the parking lot, causing her to frown in concern. After making sure Reggie was nowhere in sight, Jack made her way over to Sweet Pea.
Sweet Pea hadn't noticed Jack, but when he was slapped on the back of the head by her, he quickly turned to her, "Ah, what the hell!" He exclaimed loudly.
Jack growled, roughly grabbing the collar of Sweet Pea's Serpent jacket with one hand, "What the hell are you doing here, Sweet Pea?" She asked him in a threatening tone, "Are you trying to get yourself arrested?"
Sweet Pea let out a large sigh, avoiding eye contact with Jack for a long moment. He didn't know whether or not he should tell her what was going on.
Finally, he turned his head to look at her directly in the eyes, deciding to tell her the truth. She was his best friend, after all. He could tell her anything, "The Serpents have some business going on," He informed her in a hushed tone, "We're starting to deal weed to Northsiders now, too."
Jack's eyes widened in alarm, quickly glancing around to make sure no one was listening in before turning her head to look back at Sweet Pea, "Sweet Pea, there are cops everywhere," She warned him quietly, "The second they see your tat and jacket, you're going to be arrested."
"I have to do this, Jack," Sweet Pea replied, letting out a sigh.
"No, you don't," Jack stated, causing Sweet Pea to frown in confusion.
