The Serpent king

chapter 7-Serpent Law

Archie's P.O.V
As I walked in to pops I saw her,
I saw veronica but she was not smiling from ear to ear she was balling her eyes out.should I go over.no. I told myself that we could not talk she the HBIC of our school and me serpent leader as I tell myself this I end up walking over she's like a magnet I just can't keep away.

As I slip into the both her head lowers sadly "hey I know we're not friends but are you ok"i say with concern running through my voice
"Nothing it nothing"she says which causes her to cry more.
"Come on I can't leave entil I see a smile so you kinda have to tell me what's wrong and in return I will tell you about my life aswell,we will see who wins"she giggles at what I say which makes me smile.

"Hmm let me think my boyfriend is a dickhead I hate being popular and my dad is....actually dont worry"she says in a rushed tone as a sad look reappeared on her face again "ok then my turn,my dad well he hits me and my brother when he is drunk,I am a serpent by blood I am being forced to be the king, and I just want a normal life"i say in a sad tone
"I'm so sorry archie"
"It's all good let's just get to know each other cause by the looks of it we are equal on the bad life part".

After that we talked for hours I felt like we were the only people in the world entil my phone started to ring making me come back to reality it was my dad
"Hey dad what's up'I say
"Your late boy you were supposed to be down here for your first serpent task and you have missed it,WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!"my dad yells through the phone nearly breaking it.
"I will be there in 2 minutes dad"i say in a rushed tone.

"Veronica I gotta go before I am 6 feet under but I loved hanging out with you are the only northsider I actually.   like"
She laughs at my comment but just as I am walking of she speaks again.
"Thank you archiekins for making me happy,no one has done that in a long time".I give her a smile "no problem ronnie"i say as I walk out.she called me archiekins if any one else called me that I would kill them but with her it was different she was just so pure and I hated that I had to leave her but the world just simply hated me.

As I get to my trailer every single serpent is there with a mad look on there face and if looks could kill I at this moment would be dead on the floor.as I just stood there I saw my father emurge from the crowd of serpents."boy I will kill you,how dare you disobey my rules,the serpents rules"he says finishing of his lecture by hitting me "he's all your"he says giving the serpents a look as he walks away.

The serpents grow closer to me making a circle around me I had no one but my self to help me out of this situation but this had happened alot because I was late for my duties as king i would always get punished but i had never been this late.

As the serpents rapped around me sweet pea took the first swing with his knuckel dusters and hit me straight in the chest drawing blood I held my chest as i fell to the floor proving more that i was not cut out to be king of the serpents.

"why are you late"sweetpea demanded
"I just lost track of time that all"i say in a rushed tune I just wanted to be any where else at this moment in time maybe with veronica.That however was never going to happen I was just a weak boy who is not worthy of anything not even my own destiny.

"Lie"the serpents yell at me making my ears ring.They punch and kick me again and again the pain growing hard to bear the more it goes on but it finally ends once sweet pea kicks my head and shouts for me to leave.as I make an attempt to stand on my own I fell at and instant looking like a baby dear taking its first steps.

I had no one to turn to. no light in the dark. so I decided from this point it was truly was me and me only I would no longer let any one see me like this. weak.i was archie Andrews for fuck sake i was a gang leader in the making.

I was now going to make myself proud.Not my dad. Not my mum who left me. Not even jughea. No one I was now filling out my destiny but for me.I wiped the blood of my face a decided to just walk and get lost in my thoughts entil I bumped into someone.

A girl.as she fell to the ground I lent a hand further realising it was veronica "we need to stop meeting like this"i say with a laugh "ya we do"but as she came closer to me she gasped as a reaction to my now bruised and beaten face. "archie what happened"she says her face growing with concern "nothing" I snap
"Archie you can trust me"
"Fine I will tell you it is just because of the serpents honestly nothing"
"What do you mean there your gang and it does not look like nothing"
You won't get it ronnie it is serpent law"I yell.

Although she looks scared she moves closer to me.Touching my face but I realised I was doing everything I said I would not longer do so I shifted away from her touch with a devastated look on my face.Why couldn't she be mine."archie let me clean these up for you I would not be a good friend if I didn't"
"Ok"i reply like a lost child I had just gone against every I just vowed to myself.
