*Riverdale*

I hate Riverdale High. Actually, anyone in my position would. I mean honestly speaking, who would enjoy going to a school when almost every single person hated you for something tou didn't do. And I say almost every single person because I still have one true friend in this hell hole; Jughead Jones.

I used to be friends with Betty, Veronica, Archie and Kevin too but they all turned their backs on me after the 'incident'.

You must be wondering what exactly this 'incident' is.

Well, it all started when I was 14 and my parents got arrested for a crime they didn't commit but nobody believed them because they were considered as 'Serpent Trash'. So when that happened they signed away their parental rights and said that I was technically an adult in the eyes of the law so I could live by myself in my childhood home.

Last year, this new girl Emilie moved to Riverdale High and everybody loved her. Well, almost everybody. I couldn't stand her and neither could Jughead but that's only because she bullied me every day and called me 'Serpent Trash'. Once, she even went to my house, spray painted the words 'Serpent Trash' on it and tried to burn it down. Yep, bitch was psycho but luckily she didn't succeed because one of my neighbours called the Fire Department.

I hated it but there was nothing I could do because everyone would take her side. But then one day, somebody got revenge on her.

The spray painted the words, 'Northside Trash' on her house and burnt it to the ground. Emilie and her family weren't home that night so nobody got hurt but they moved back to wherever they came from that same week and I became public enemy number 1.

The thing is, I know who did it. While walking around the neighborhood that night I passed Emilie's house and saw three Serpents tagging her house. They were all wearing masks except for one of them. It was Sweetpea. Which meant that the other two were Toni and Fangs.

I never told anybody else about it. Not even Jughead. As terrible as what they did was, it got rid of Emilie and I figured I owed them so I said nothing.

Anyways, back to the present. I was at my locker talking to Jug.

"I'm just saying, maybe Thanos wasn't that bad," I said.

"And I'm just saying, you have no soul," Jughead joked.

I laughed and gently punched his shoulder.

"Shut up."

I opened my locker and once I saw what was inside, I screamed and hid my face in Jughead's chest. As soon as he saw it too he tightened his grip on me and held me closer to him.

Inside my locker there a dead snake's body with the words 'Serpent Trash' written above it.

'What's wrong Y/N? That one of relatives in there?" a football player asked.

Jughead let go of me and turned to him.

"What the hell is wrong with you man? That's messed up!" Jughead yelled.

"Whoa, I didn't do this but even if I did; the bitch deserves it after what she did to Emilie," the jock said.

Jughead didn't say anything after that. He just punched the dude in the face and wiped his hand on his shirt. He then turned around, held my hand and walked out of the school building.

After a while of walking, Jug stopped and turned to me. I couldn't help but look at those serious blue eyes of his.

"You need to move in with me," he said.

"What?"

"You saw what happened in there. You're a target for something that you didn't even do," he said. "Plus, you live alone and everybody knows that, along with your address. At least when you live with my dad and I in the trailer park you'll be protected by the Serpents."

"But your dad—"

"My dad will be fine with it," Jughead interrupted. "Trust me."

I nodded and he smiled.

"Great."

TIME SKIP

I had just finished packing my stuff into the trailer and was now taking a walk around the trailer park. I walked to the place where the Serpents held their meetings and saw them sitting there and just chilling.

"Hey, Y/N. You done packing?" Jughead asked.

"Yeah," I answered. "Mind if I sit here?"

"No problem," Jughead said. "Guys, this is Y/N. She's gonna be staying with us for a while. Her parents were the Y/L/Ns."

I heard a few gasps and whispers from the others.

"The Y/L/Ns?" someone questioned and I nodded. "Dude, you're parents were some of the most legendary Serpents that ever lived. I'm sorry they got arrested. We know they didn't commit that crime."

"Thanks," I told him.

"Okay, enough about all of that. Can we focus on the positive here? There's another girl Serpent," Toni squealed while hugging me. "I love you guys and all but sometimes I need a little more oestrogen."

Then she dragged away from everyone else for a little 'girl time' and I couldn't help but notice how Sweetpea had his eyes on me the entire time.

Later on that night while we were all around the fire, Sweetpea pulled me to the side so we could talk.

"I know you saw me," he said.

"What?"

"Last year, when Fangs, Toni and I destroyed Emilie's house. I know you saw us," he explained.

"Yeah, I did see you," I mumbled.

I couldn't handle the intensity his eyes so I looked to the ground. He lifted my head by my chin so I could look at him.

"But you didn't say anything. Why?"

"Because you did me a favour."

And because I like you.

Suddenly Sweetpea's expression changed and became softer. At first I was confused but then I realised it was because I said that last thing out loud.

Sweetpea moved his face closer to mine.

"I like you too," he whispered before kissing me.

I started kissing back immediately and placed his hands in his hair while he placed his around my waist.

"And just so you know," he began. "I'd do it all again for you."
