Sin Carvalho is a soon-to-be serpent who is being transferred to Riverdale High after Southside High was shut down. No matter which school she goes to, her past always follows her. The only people she can trust are her father and the Serpents. Her...
"Dude. You really don't have to do this. That order is super intense. That's why Pops doesn't put it on the menu. Me and my dad are the only two who: A) know about it B) order it C) can handle it and D) can finish it. Are you sure you wanna do this?"
As far as I was concerned, it was too late to back out now.
"Yeah, I'm sure."
She made a face that made me seriously reconsider my life choices up to this moment.
As we waited for our food, she hit me with a curve ball.
"So, Reggie, is there a reason why you're always trying to get on my nerves?" She asked me. I was taken aback to say the least. 'Is that what she thinks? That I'm intentionally trying to piss her off? '
"No. That's just how I flirt. Most girls think it's cute when I approach them directly like that."
She gave me a look.
"Is that what you call 'approaching directly?'" She said to me.
I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out.
She shook her head and let out a not-so-amused chuckle.
"If you want to 'approach a girl directly', you walk up to them and say something like 'Hey. I've seen you around school and I would love to get to know you a little better. Would you like to go out with me sometime?'"
I let her words sink in.
"In what world does that line work?" I asked her incredulously.
"In what world does your line work? I want you? Seriously?" She asked me.
"This world. It works every time."
"Well, it didn't work my time. My dad told me that if a guy likes you, he'll be straight with you. So clearly, you're just running game."
I looked up at her so fast I thought I broke my neck.
"Running game?"
"Yeah."
I'm pretty sure my eyes were bugging out of my head. Thank God Pops showed up with our food. When I looked at the three plates being set down in front of us, I was confused.
"Hey Pops. I think you got us confused. This isn't our order."
Pops looked at me angrily. "I most certainly did not. That's what you ordered: Two Sinful Specials." He walked off to grab our drinks and I thought I was gonna die. There is no way this is what the hell I ordered.

This order came with two sets of everything. So in total, there were four orders: 2 Burgers and 2 Orders of Fries for EACH of us. She had already started digging in. Pops stood there laughing at me.
"Pops... Th-there must be a mistake. I only asked for one order."
Pops just started laughing as he said "That is one order."
As he walked away I heard him say "Next time, you should listen to me when I say you can't handle it."
"Wait! How come she doesn't have two orders?!" I yelled out.
"Because I'm taking one home to my dad since he works the night shift and I don't plan on cooking tonight."
I looked at her like she had three heads. I'm not a religious guy, but I prayed I would make it out of Pop's alive.
Sin's POV
I almost choked on my food while I watched him. First, he just stared at his plates. Then, he struggled with picking up his burger. I shook my head and continued to dig in. After watching him struggle for 10 solid minutes, I figured I'd help him out a bit.
"If you're having trouble, cut the burger in half. It helps to have corners..." I stated plainly as I started digging into my fries.
"Yeah, but I still have a whole other burger I have to worry about..." He said with a distressed look.
"How I about I take that other burger off your hands for you. It would be nice if my dad doesn't have to split his food with me for once."
"You're seriously gonna eat two burgers?"
"Nooo... I'm seriously gonna eat three burgers. Two now with you, and one later with my dad. Is that a yes or no?" I asked getting annoyed.
"Umm.. Sure. That sounds fine."
I smiled in victory. I wiped off my face and went up to the counter to ask Pops for another container. When he looked at me confused, I said "He's letting me take his other order of burger and fries." Pops threw his head back and gave a hearty laugh. He handed me another to-go container and I went back to my booth. I finished off one of my orders and packed the rest away to eat with my dad.
It started to get dark so I looked at Reggie and asked if he needed a ride home.
"Actually, I do."
I called my dad to come and pick us up, and we went to go wait outside.
"Night Pops!" I yelled out while exiting. I heard a farewell from Pops and went on my way.
We sat outside for 20 minutes just casually talking when I heard a muscle car pull up. I knew that familiar roar of the engine and stood up with a big smile on my face. The muscle car pulled up in front of Reggie and I.
"Reggie, I'd like you to meet my dad. Dad, this is a friend from school. His name is Reggie."
"It's very nice to meet yo-..."
Reggie stopped short. My dad grabbed his hand and said "Well it's nice to meet you too."
Reggie looked like he saw a ghost so I asked him what was wrong.
"I-It's him! You're the guy!" Reggie shouted.
My dad and I exchanged confused looks.
"Reggie are you okay? What the hell are you talking about?"
"Him! He's the guy who kidnapped me this morning!"
