"I cant believe that you guys dont see it, Weatherbee is profiling us," I roll my eyes at Jugs logics, Sweetpea's hands on top of mine as we both play the game, me trying my best not to get us killed, this is the highest level we've got to yet! My tongue sticking out in concentration. "Telling us what to wear. What next? Brain implants controlling what to think?"
"Jug, you sound crazyyyy" I sing song, trying to atleast lighten his mood.
"You sound like a total conspiracy nut!" Toni adds, I nod, agreeing. "A school closed down."
"A crappy school" Sweets pipes, his eyes not leaving the screen.
"Yeah, and now we're at a better one. With computer labs and textbooks!" Toni lists.
"And toilets that flush" I physically shiver at the rememberence of southside toilets.
"Getting transfered to Riverdale high is the best thing that could've happened."
"Maybe ever." Sweets adds again
"So if I have to take off my jacket 8:30 to 3, monday to friday. Hey, I'm down with that." Toni picks up her drink and raises it towards Jug who just shakes his head at her. I let out a loud groan as we die on the game. Lightly kicking the machine. Pea's hands instantly wrapping around my waist.
"I blame Jug for that." I mutter, Sweets laughing behind me.

I groan, rubbing, rubbing my eyes as someone bangs on the door to my trailer. Standing up and pulling Pea's shirt over my naked body, slipping on some underwear and rushing to the door as the knocking continues. Swinging the door open I come face to face with Archie.
"What do you want, Firecracker?" I ask, getting straight to the point, my hand rubbing my eyes to rid my tiredness.
"I can't stop thinking about with Nick did to Veronica, and to you." My hand drops to my side as my gaze snaps to his face. Nick again? "Did he ever give you anything, to keep you quiet. Make sure you wouldn't talk?" I shake my head.
"No, he didn't need to. I knew that nobody would believe me. Nick knew that too." I rub my arms, trying to warm myself but also to provide myself with some comfort.
"What if I told you that I could get him to give you some money? Think of it as compensation?" What is going on with Archie?
"Well, I could use the money. I have bills to pay but he's not just going to give me money now, is he?"
"I'm thinking of going to see Nick. I could ask him to write you a cheque or something. I know that no amout will ever be enough for what he did to you but I feel you should get something for the trauma." I smile sadly at the boy, feeling a hand fall on the bottom of my back, I look up. Pea. I breathe a little easier knowing he's with me. That I'm safe. "I dont suppose you know anyone that attended Greenwich Prep? I need to borrow a blazer to get into the building." I shake my head but Pea nods.
"I'll get it to you." Archie nods, turning to walk away. "And Archie," He turns back around. "Kick his arse"
"With pleasure"

I sit on Sweets lap, slightly glaring at the Bulldogs. Toni lets out a chuckle and I glance towards her.
"Damn Princess, if looks could kill" I shake my head as a smile falls onto my face and the rest of the group let out a chuckle at my sad attempt to look intimidating. I look around once all laughing and chatter comes to a stop. My eyes falling to Jughead, rocking his Southside jacket, I shake my head but I was kind of expecting this from him. It is Juggie after all.
