Hard to Love a Wolf [BOOK 1]

Chapter Sixteen

We practically played twenty questions when we got to school today, Betty and Jughead got into an argument because he lied about what he was doing, but I took the wrap because I didn't want anyone to know. I also had gotten my tattoo later that night, the large serpent logo now on the back of my thigh, the one that didn't already have a tattoo on it.

Now, I was setting with the serpents and Northsiders in the student lounge. My boyfriend had yet to enter the room yet, along with Reggie. I was setting in a chair, my bag on the floor and legs propped up over the side. The chair next to it, occupied by Fangs. "As you all know, Archie did let me decide Prom's theme, after convincing him, and you know it's Fire and Ice! But, remember you have to vote for me and Toni" "What if we don't vote for you and Toni" Jughead tested while putting a chip in his mouth.

"Then I'll" "Cheryl" Toni warned "Do nothing, it's totally your choice" the red head finished with gritting teeth as I laughed. I felt someone grab my arm, and I looked up as Archie smiled at me as he sat on the arm of my chair. "What are you guys talking about?" Archie asked while putting his bag beside mine. "Prom, and how I'm going single" I looked at Kevin "I'll be your date if you ask fast enough" "Hey wait" "He hasn't asked yet?" "Nope" "I'm right here" "Even Reggie's asked me already" "We're dating, I assumed we were already going" "Does that mean I have to ask you" Jughead asked, turning to Betty, who shook her head "No, you don't" "Will you go to Prom with me then" I looked at Archie "not with that attitude" he rolled his eyes.

"You know nothing of girls and how their minds work, do you" I heard my brother before I saw him. He came around and sat in the seat beside Betty, who leaned closer to Jughead. "I asked" "I have a real question, guys" Fangs said, and we turned to him, "Adelina will you be my prom date?" I shrugged "sure, I don't have one" I teased Archie as he huffed. "It's a joke, man. Just showing you how you're supposed to do it" I laughed and leaned up, grabbing the red vines from his hand before leaning back again, eating one.

Archie had been acting weird all day, but I tried to ignore it for the most part, at least until we got in his truck and were headed to the trailer park. "What's your deal, Archie" "Nothing" "You're lying" "Just drop it, Adelina" "I won't drop it, you're obviously mad about something Archie" I said as I sat up, turning to look at him.

He slammed on the breaks, causing my chest and torso to ram into the dash board before slamming back into my seat. "What the fuck, Archie!" "Adelina, I'm so sorry, I" "No" I said simply, angrily. I opened the truck door and grabbed my bag from the floor, hoping out I slammed the door as hard as possible. I could hear Archie shouting at me, before a huff of anger and the engine getting farther away from me.

I grabbed my phone from my jacket pocket and started to scroll. Toni and Cheryl were busy with prom committee that the rest of the girls decided to help with, along with Kevin and a bunch of others in the school, even Jughead decided to help. My finger hovered over Sweetpea's name, but I second guessed myself. He hadn't been talking to me, surely, he wouldn't answer the phone. I scrolled back to Fangs and hit the little green telephone.

After a few rings, he answered.

"Hello?"

"Fangs, can you come get me?" I asked in a murmur as I kicked some rocks around.

"Well yeah, but I thought you were with Andrews?" I could hear a bit of fumbling and he said something to someone, but I didn't know what.

"I tried to ask him what was wrong, and he said nothing, so I called bullshit and he slammed the breaks, so I slammed into the dash board and seat, so I got out and slammed the door. I'm only like a block from Pops" I said, recognizing the large sign nearby.
