AJ pulled the neck of her jacket up, trying to hide as she walked through the halls of the school. Since the drive-in shut down and she decided to stick with Jughead, she hasn't had much sleep. It was making her usually cranky self, even more cranky. She just wanted to meet up with Jughead and ignore everyone else, especially Reggie. She felt bad for hurting him, but she knew she was going the right thing. She had to protect him.
All hopes of being ignored and quietly getting to her destination were ruined when she heard someone call out, "Oh, look, it's Wednesday Addams 2.0."
She glanced over, glaring at the football jocks as they made jokes. "Real original," AJ muttered, turning away from the boys.
"What was that, freak?"
AJ took in a deep breath, getting more fed up by the jocks by the second. "What? Did Reggie not show you a good enough time?" One of the jocks joked, taking a step closer to AJ.
"What the hell did you say?" AJ turned sharply. If looks could kill, those three boys would already be dead. "I don't know what you think happened, but nothing did. You're all animals and Mantle is no different," she snapped, briefly meeting Reggie's eyes. She saw the hurt flash through his eyes, but she paid it no mind.
"Only in the sheets, right, Reggie?" The same jock asked, his laughter bouncing off the walls.
"Shut up, guys," Reggie spoke softly, trying to get AJ to meet his eyes again.
"I don't need you speaking for me, Mantle," AJ said, glaring at the Asian boy. "Not that I need to explain myself, but nothing happened between me and Reggie," she said evenly, finally meeting Reggie's eyes. "Nothing will ever happen between me and Reggie," she took a step closer to the boy, "You're all the same. Stupid, pathetic wannabes. You walk around this school as if you own it. Like everyone else owes you something. Like your gods, but you're not. All you are are a bunch of little boys that don't even know the difference between class and trash." She glanced around the small group of boys, her anger radiating off of her, "No one respects you. They're just scared of you. Scared that you'll tarnish their reputation with your stupid little book. Well, I'm not scared of you, and you don't want to know what I'm capable of, so leave me the hell alone," she snapped, turning around on her heels and storming off. As she was rounding the corner, she heard of the boys say, "Was that a little scary for you too?"
AJ was still fuming as she slammed the door to the Blue and Gold open, her eyes filled with anger. "Woah, what's wrong?" Betty asked.
"Nothing," AJ snapped, glaring at the blonde. She didn't mean to be rude to Betty, she just wasn't in a good mood. She has never been good at keeping her temper down, a trait she inherited from both of her parents. She was about to continue when Jughead stood from the desk and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Hey, don't snap at her. She didn't do anything," Jughead said to AJ, frowning at her.
