"So, you're telling me you haven't stayed at home all week?" Betty asks over the phone.
"Nope." I say, popping the p. "Archie and Veronica's idea of defying the black hood is to apparently bone in every area of my house, and they are NOT quiet."
"Ew." Betty giggles. "So, where are you?"
"I've been staying at Sweet pea's place." I say.
"Oh, you have?" Betty questions me.
"Before you jump to conclusions, no. That hasn't happened." I inform her.
"Would you tell me if it had?" She asks.
"Probably." I laugh.
"Good. Where's Sweet pea now then?" She asks.
"He's just doing some checks on his bike outside. And I am-
"Are you at least coming to school today?" She asks.
"Yes, I am." I laugh.
"Great! Hey, I'm meeting Jug at Pops before school so I gotta go." Betty says.
"See you in a couple hours." I chuckle.
After my phone call with Betty, I go outside to see Sweet pea standing up from his bike, cleaning his hands with a rag.
"Morning." I greet him.
"Hey, nice shirt." He greets. I wear one of his shirts loosely tucked into my ripped jeans.
"You can't blame me! It's cosy and it smells like you." I laugh.
"You don't see me wearing your shirts!" He says.
"I think that's because you wouldn't fit in them." I argue.
"Are you calling me fat?" He jokes.
"Depends on who you ask." I giggle.
"You're awful." He whines.
"You're the one that chose to date me." I giggle.
"Best choice I ever made." He says, kissing me on the forehead as he walks past.
"Hey... As much as I've enjoyed invading your space, Fred texted this morning and really wants me to come home tonight." I tell him.
"That's fine, as long as you know that you're welcome here anytime, babe." He tells me.
"And I am very thankful for that." I say. "And same goes."
"What about Fred?" He asks.
"Well... You'll have to meet him sometime, right?" I laugh.
"True, we're approaching having been together for 2 months." He smiles.
"You're keeping track?" I ask.
"I can't help it." He laughs. I kiss him.
"You're sweet." I say. "I should go, though. I'll text you later."
"Bye!" he calls, walking inside his trailer.

"Nov, can I talk to you?" Archie asks as I exit the locker room after cross country.
"Of course, little brother. What do you need?" I ask
"I uh... It's about Veronica-"
"Archie, I do NOT want to know about your sex-scapades." I scold him.
"No! Nova! I told her I loved her." Archie tells me, stopping me dead in his tracks.
"You what?" I ask.
