Born Crazy || Sweet Pea [1] [COMPLETED]

||FORTY-EIGHT - RAID||

Jayda's POV

I came out of my room, and saw Archie in our kitchen.

"Of course it's Tallboy." I heard Jughead say, and he dropped into a chair. "I'm such an idiot."

"Do you think what Minetta said is true?" Archie asked him. "That Tallboy was the second Black Hood?" Neither of them had noticed me yet.

"He's done Hiram's dirty work before." Jughead replied. "He confessed to it, which now that I think about it, explains why he died, suddenly, in a fire fight."

"Tallboy's dead?" I questioned, and they both turned to me. "There's no loose ends. He can't implicate Hiram, ever."

"Now Sheriff Minetta can say the case of the copycat Black Hood is closed." Archie agreed.

"Hiram's gonna get away with it. He's gonna get away with all of it." Jughead sighed, deeply. 

I moved to the freezer and grabbed a tub of ice cream. Both of them looked at me.

"You want some?" I asked them. They both nodded. I put my own on a bowl. "You have to get it yourself."

"That's mean." Jughead huffed.

"No it's not, I was shot less than a week ago." I explained, and took the empty seat next to Archie. Jughead got ice cream for them both, and we all sat eating it.

"On top of everything, our dad, who's drinking again, wants us to move to Toledo." Jughead explained, angrily. He shoveled the ice cream into his mouth.

"Just in time, too. 'Cause Weatherbee wants to kick all the Southsiders out of Riverdale High." I added, and continued to eat my ice cream.

The front door burst open, and Cheryl entered.

"Cheryl?" Jughead questioned.

"Zip it, and listen." Cheryl demanded. "We have to get to the Wyrm, ASAP. I already called Toni to give her the heads up."

"What's going on?" Archie asked. 

"My mumsy warned me that Hiram Lodge's cyborg sheriff is raiding your precious bar tonight." Cheryl explained. "And, if things turn violent, and some Serpents end up shot, well so much the better. Let's go." 

-----

We got to the bar, and I began to address the Serpents.

"Take only what you absolutely need. And what you can carry with you. We need to move quickly, and quietly." I announced. "Sheriff Minetta's forces are all over the Southside, and they're looking for our blood. If we want our skulls to remain uncracked, we have to go undetected."

"Go where?" Sweet Pea asked. "There's nowhere safe." I glanced at Archie.

"We've been offered asylum on the Northside." I explained. We gave them a few minutes to collect their things.

Soon, we were all running down the streets, heading towards the bridge, and Archie's house. Jughead led one group, and I led another, with Archie's help as I'm not very fast on crutches.

Every time we'd see a cruiser, or hear the sirens, we would duck into the nearest alleyway. We met up with the other group on the bridge.

I saw Jughead looking but at where we'd come from.

"Come on, Jug. Don't look back." Archie had told him. We carried on, but slower, as we weren't in the Southside anymore.

"Where are we even going?" Sweet Pea asked me, as we walked down the bridge.

"Archie's house. You know, the one we rocked up on the doorstep of, the night of the Serpents vs Bulldogs fight." I explained.

"Right. Okay." He nodded. I smiled at him, and we continued down the road.

-----

We all stayed the night at the Andrews house, and the next morning was crazy. I helped Fred Andrews with breakfast, and so did Archie and Jughead.

"What's going on here?" Dad asked, coming in from the back door. "You do all this?"

"With an assist from Archie." I answered, for both Jughead and me. "Toledo's going to have to wait."

"Maybe so." Dad nodded. "Bulldogs helping Serpents. Freddy Andrews opening his doors to a bunch of snakes. There goes the rest of your Northside vote, buddy."

"We're all neighbours here." Fred answered, then left the kitchen with some bacon.

"You okay, girl?" Dad asked me.

"Yeah, I'm good." I replied, and smiled at him. Dad then left with a plate of fruit in his hand.

"Hey, thank you. You came through for me." Jughead thanked Archie.

"I'm not done yet. How many of these Serpent jackets do you think we can borrow?" Archie asked. I smirked at his idea.

Before school, we distributed the jackets to all the pupils in the school. It was a bit weird seeing everyone in Serpent jackets, but it was nice to wear my own to school again.

We stood in two groups, with an aisle in the middle, outside Weathebee's office.

"What's the meaning of this?" Weatherbee demanded, as he saw the sea of black leather.

"It's a show of support, sir." Archie spoke up, and Weatherbee turned to him. "For the Southsiders that are being wrongly transferred, out of our school. Everyone's ready to walk out, Principal Weatherbee."

"Any student who walks out, better keep walking. Because, they'll be expelled." Weatherbee announced.

"You're a good man, Principal Weatherbee. You're not the kind of person who discriminates. And if you are?" Archie continued. "Then expel me. Because I don't want to be a part of that."

There was a long pause, then Weatherbee spoke. 

"Everyone, get to class."

-----

The next day, was the Student election vote. As well as, the Mayoral election.

Seeing as all three groups had dropped out of the student election, there were only two people we could vote for now. Ethel. Or Archie. And, I think everyone was going to be voting for Archie.

We put our votes in, and then I think the entire school gathered in the student lounge. For the results of our election.

"Attention, Riverdale High students." Came the voice of Principal Weatherbee through the loudspeaker. "The results of your student council election are in. And your new, student body president is... Archie Andrews."

Everyone in the room began to cheer for Archie, and everyone clapped loudly for him. I started, but then stopped after my stomach began to hurt.

"In unrelated news," Principal Weatherbee continued. "For the foreseeable future, all former Southside High students will remain at Riverdale High. That is all." 

Everyone began to cheer again. It had seemed, that, our little stunt yesterday had brought everyone together.
