today was the day. the day all southside students transfer to riverdale. sweetpea was very excited to say the least, he couldn't wait to see the feisty, black haired latina. he remembered the nights they spent together, the summer before she started riverdale high, like it was yesterday and it tortured him.
together all the serpents walked through the double doors and it was liked time stopped, there she was, organizing the welcome table. trying to fight off the smile he had wiped across his face, he walked up to the table.
he waited for the moment. the moment fireworks went off. the moment all time stopped. the moment he knew she loved him too. the moment they made eye contact, but it never came. instead she avoided it and started a speech.
"On behalf of the students and faculty here at Riverdale High, welcome to your new school! To ease this transition, I've set up a registration desk where you can get your locker assignments, class schedules, and a list of sports and extracurriculars. We encourage each and every one of you to drink deeply from the cup that is fair Riverdale." Sweetpea noticed some serpents smiling. god this girl has so much power, she can even make serpents smile, he thought. although thats how it was for him, he never thought he would fall in love, especially a northsider, but he did. the second he laid eyes on her, he knew he was in love.
he was so lost in thought he didn't even notice the bulldogs and vixens walking towards them until he heard Cheryl's voice.
"Stand down, Eva Peron!" god how he hated her.
"Cheryl. No one invited Fascist Barbie to the party." Veronica's badass side was always his favorite
"Wrong, Veronica, no one invited Southside scum to our school.
after about five minutes of obvious sexual tension through Cheryl and Toni, the voice he hated most, the boy who stole his girl, spoke up.
"Okay Guys, everyone, can we just put our Northside-Southside differences apart and start over? A new slate?"
"Mmm. You don't speak for the Bulldogs, Andrews. And need I remind you, these greaser-snakes showed up at your place trying to kick your ass."
"Happy to finish what was started."
but before he could do anything someone stepped in between, and he knew exactly who. her perfect manicured hand pressed up his chest.
"God, I am so over the toxic masculinity in this hallway right now."
and then the moment he waited for, she looked up into his eyes. it was everything he wanted and didn't want all at once.
Sweetpea remembered every touch, emotion, everything.
getting lost in her eyes he felt like he could stare into them forever and he was planning to until the principal interrupted and everyone left.
he sighed turning around before being pulled back by his arm. seeing it was veronica he questioned her.
"What are you doing?"
getting on her tiptoes she got close to his ear having to pull him down a bit due to her height.
"Just wanted to say it was good to see you." she whispered before planting a kiss to his tattoo and walking away.
