AJ woke up to a pounding headache. After Reggie dropped her off at the trailer park, she went to the bar to see Toni. She ended up drinking a little too much. She rolled over and saw Toni and Fangs laying next to her. She smirked slightly at the sight of her two friends. She got up and went to the kitchen, groaning when she saw Sweet Pea and some random girl on the couch, barely clothed.

"Find a damn room," AJ snapped, kicking the couch on her way by.

"I tried too, but when I got home you three were sleeping in my bed," Sweet Pea grumbled, pushing the girl off of his chest so he could get up.

"You could have joined," AJ teased, winking at him. "Do you have any food in this house?" She asked, searching through his kitchen.

"Can y'all keep it down?" Toni asked, walking into the kitchen.

"Sorry, babe," AJ laughed, popping a couple of Ibuprofen in her mouth.

"I heard something about food," Fangs said, joining the group in the kitchen. AJ laughed again, putting her arms around Fangs. AJ and Fangs always had a weird friendship. They were closer than most, but anything they did didn't mean anything. People often thought that they were together, but they were strictly best friends.

"We could go to Pop's for breakfast, but SP, you'll have to get rid of that bimbo," AJ said, motioning to the girl still sleeping on the couch.

After getting ready and kicking the girl out, the four serpents made their way to Pops. They took their usual booth, waiting to order their usual orders. AJ sat next to Fangs, across from Toni who was next to Sweet Pea.

"So, how's that Northside boy of yours?" Toni asked, a smirk on her face.

"What?"

"Oooh, show me."

Sweet Pea and Fangs spoke at the same time, causing AJ to roll her eyes and glare at Toni. "There is no Northside boy," AJ said, kicking Toni, "Not anymore at least."

"Did he hurt you?" Fangs asked, ready to defend his best friend's honor.

"No, but he found out about dad being a serpent. Wouldn't be surprised if he knew about me." AJ didn't know what came over her. She never cared about what anyone thought of her before, and she's never had a boyfriend. Sure, she had her fair share of flings and one night stands, but never anything serious. So her being so worried that Reggie wouldn't want to talk to her again, confused her.

"If he can't except you, then he doesn't deserve you," Toni reminded her.

The bell above the door rang, causing the four teens to look towards the door. AJ groaned, leaning into Fangs a little. "Is that him?" Fangs asked, leaning down to whisper to AJ. She responded with a nod of her head, praying that Reggie wouldn't look over at their booth while he waited for his food. However, luck wasn't on her side because just as she glanced at him again, he turned his head and made eye contact with her.
