The next morning I woke up completely exhausted from the night before, my head pounding. I got out of bed and went for a run, already memorizing the trail. I showered and then got dressed into some comfy clothes, deciding that I would spend the day studying, which was my idea of a perfect Sunday.
I made myself an avocado tortilla, my usual breakfast food and settled down at my desk, opening my AP Psychology textbook and reading, writing down notes as I went. About 45 minutes in, my phone buzzed.
Unknown: guess who, angel face
I smiled, automatically realizing it was Sweet Pea, a blush rushing to my face.
To Pea: Mm. Nope, no idea
I put my phone down and turned my attention back to my textbook, continuing to study for a few more hours, I really needed to get back into my zen mode. hopefully it would snap some sense into me.
——
A few hours past and I decided that I was done. I checked my phone to reveal a few texts from Ronnie and Archie, but none from Sweet Pea. I tried not to let it get to me too much, knowing that I couldn't possibly control whether or not he felt I was worthy enough to be replying to. I huffed and went downstairs to ravage through the kitchen and find something to eat. Of course, there was literally nothing.
To Ronnie: hey, are u free? down for some dinner @ pops?
From Ronnie: I thought you'd never ask, I'm starving ! TTFN, mwah!
An hour passed and I was now sitting across from Veronica and Betty in Pop's diner, ready to destroy my burger and milkshake. You don't know true lonerism until you get more excited about food than interaction with other people, or at least that's what Jughead says.
"So, Noelle, rumor has it some of the Serpents are giving Sweet Pea sh*t about him having a 'mystery girl' and not telling them who it is, what are you guys going to do about it?" Betty told me, which caused me to almost choke and die on my burger. "Mystery girl? We've been on one and a half dates and suddenly I'm getting married," I laugh it off, taking another chomp of my burger, earning a laugh from the girls.
"Well, yeah, but he's totally head over heels, you have him wrapped around your finger! He wasn't even like this with J-" Veronica starts, but quickly stopping mid-sentence when Betty elbowed her under the table. "No, Ronnie, what were you going to say?" I pried.
Betty looked sad for me, as if she knew that what Veronica was about to tell me was going to hurt my feelings, but honestly, this boy was in no position to do that. "A while ago, before you got here of course, Sweet Pea had a fling with this girl Josie. It was nothing, she ended it with him because she wanted to focus on music but I'm pretty sure it's just because she's incapable of human interaction," Veronica told me, clearly trying to make me feel better. Honestly, I did feel a little sting of jealousy, but it was okay. There was nothing going on between me and him anyways. As if he knew what was going on, he sent me a text back, right on the nose with the whole timing situation.
Sweet Pea: sorry, there was a small problem w one of the serpents but it's okay now. what are u up to?
My fingers hovered over the screen, about to respond but I quickly decided against it. I had to show him I have somewhat of a life, at least. Couldn't seem like too much of a loser!

I got home later that evening and quickly got into the shower, letting the burning hot water run over me, it was serene. I got out and slipped on my comfy pajamas and crawled into bed, only to have to get up in a few seconds when I realized that someone was throwing pebbles at my window. It started off as one, then progressed to two and three and then five. Scared at this point, I got as far away from the window as possible, not even thinking to close it.
Suddenly, a familiar head of black hair peaked out and looked in at me, clearly mortified for my life. Sweet Pea snorted at me and climbed into the room.
"What are you doing here, Pea?" I asked him, trying to get straight to the point.
"What, is there something wrong with me wanting to see my favorite little princess? I couldn't wait till tomorrow, I guess," he joked with me. Suddenly, he moved closer and closer to me and before I knew it, his hands were snaked around my waist and his lips were crashing into mine.
