One thing I hated more than anything was the sound of my alarm. I had the worst insomnia so when I finally was able to get some sleep I was beyond exhausted. "Rise and shine Forsythe!" I yell shaking Jughead's bed. He spins his body around and falls off the bed. "Jesus Christ Jade what the hell?!" I doubled over laughing "sorry baby bro didn't mean to scare you it's time to start getting ready hell awaits."

I stopped at Smoothie Queen before heading to school it was my morning ritual since I hated coffee. We pull into the school parking lot a few minutes later and I see my crew in our usual spot. 

"I come bearing gits children." I say getting out of my Jeep carrying a box full of smoothies. "Why are you in such a good mood?" Toni asks while taking a drink of her smoothie. 

"I don't know I guess I'm just glad a small part of normalcy has fallen upon my lap. With my dear baby bro being here today." I say.

After standing around talking for a while we made our way inside school. "Alright Jug you have your first 3 classes with Kato. Sick with him and I'll meet you before lunch."

Class was boring as usual, I might be the Serpent Princess but I'm not stupid I actually had straight A's in school. Before the Serpents I had a dream of going to college I wanted to be an architectural designer but now I think that's all it will ever be a dream.

"Alright Jug listen carefully as you can tell this isn't Riverdale one wrong move, one wrong way down a hall and it's your ass. Especially with where you sit in the lunchroom." I explain walking into the lunchroom. "Over there is the Ghoulies, that way is the Night Walkers. And right here is the Serpents so sit with us."

"I can't do that Jade, you know me I'm a lone wolf. I'll take my chances alone." Jughead says walking in the opposite direction.

I go and take my usual spot next to Toni at our table. "Hurricane what the fuck is that? Now your little bro doesn't even want to sit with us. And you still expect us to look out for him?" Duke hisses.

 "Now all of you fucking listen to me, my brother is a hard head he doesn't listen, he's always walked to the beat of his own drum. So yeah he chose to sit alone, but if one hair is hurt on his head because you fuckwads don't like his seating choice and choose not to have his back. I'll personally fuck you up and believe me you haven't even seen the worst of what I'm capable of doing." I say hitting my hand on the table.

"Babe calm down." Toni whispers to me. Instantly I try to calm myself down "sorry T, I'm just sick of this shit it's barley his first day." I say whispering back to her.

We were in our last class of the day and I couldn't be happier just by Jugs decision to sit alone I can tell this transition wasn't going to be as easy as I hoped. I always looked forward to last period because I had Toni, Pea, Fangs, Love, Kato and Duke in it.
