Burn The City With Me [Part One]

Ten

I woke up to the sound of my bedroom door opening, causing me to turn over and open my eyes as I watched my uncle and father carrying my tv into my room. "What are you guys doing" I asked with a raspy voice as I rubbed one of my eyes. "I decided you're ungrounded, mostly because I'm leaving with Fred to visit Mary, so I need you to have your phone, that way we can talk, and if I'm gone I don't doubt that you're going to do whatever you want anyway" dad said. My eyes snapped fully open as I watched Fred whisper something and walk out, "You're going to see Mary?" I asked, and dad turned to me after plugging the television in.

"Yes, I'm going with him more for the drive out, so he won't over do it, so I can remind him to take a break and eat" I nodded as I stood up. "What if I want to go?" "You can't, this is grown people stuff" I rolled my eyes as he sighed and kissed the side of my head, "I just miss aunt Mary" I grumbled. "I know you do but give me the gift and the photos you were going to give to her and I'll make sure to" I nodded and jogged over to my closet, pulling out the white gift bag, with the light yellow envelop inside before giving it to him.

"Now, I'm about to leave right now so make sure you take care of the house, I'll be home in a few days. Archie and Jughead are next door, or Alice is right next to them" I nodded before he kissed my head again and walked out. I walked over to my vanity, where he had sat my laptop and phone before texting Reggie I was free, and if the boys wanted I could tutor tonight.

Sure, and see you then.

I decided to straighten my hair and wear a bit of mascara as I was going to wear a decent outfit today. As I was getting dressed I hummed a random tune. Once I was finished getting dressed I picked up my bag and phone before making my way down and into the kitchen, where I started to eat an apple while pouring a cup of orange juice. When finished, I ran up to my bathroom and quickly brushed my teeth, as I rinsed my mouth out I heard the honk of Reggie's car outside.

I quickly dried my mouth off before running back down and getting my things before going outside, making sure to lock the door. As I climbed into the passenger seat of the car, Reggie smiled at me which I returned. "I have the house to myself for the whole weekend" I said happily. "That's great, so I can stay over late again" "Or stay the night again" I said as he chuckled and started the drive to the school.

Hour by hour, the school day drug by and soon I was sitting in lunch with my other class mates. I was sitting beside Reggie, as I picked at the food on my tray as there were audible gasps throughout the lunch room. I looked up, confused until I noticed Chuck Clayton walking through the school, and he was having a bit of a stare down with Betty Cooper. I watched as he made his way over to Ethyl Muggs, and sat down, which Betty was quick to start walking over to them.

I rolled my eyes as Betty Cooper tried to be a hero, though if Ethyl wasn't comfortable she'd be loud about it, or she knew she could get up and leave herself. The two exchanged words, before Betty got loud "I'm not!" she caught herself and glanced around before whispering to him again.

After a few more hours, Reggie and I were headed to the dance studio. "When will the boys be there?" I asked "Whenever I text them to come over" I nodded as we pulled into the parking lot.
