Serpents ✔️

Chapter 3

"Hey guys" I say getting off Sweet Pea's bike
"Hey El hey Pea" Joaquin says sitting down on a chair I grab the popcorn from Fangs and put a few pieces in my mouth.
"Where's Jug?"
"Up in the projector room" Toni says I just nod in response
"Ugh what are they doing here?" Someone says referring to us "Serpent scum"
"You wanna say that to my face?" I say walking towards them before I feel a pair of arms around me
"Not here princess" We walk back over to his bike. Some of the Serpents start throwing things and making noise
"Shhhh" some Northsider spits the others start throwing things at them. Some stuck up girl stands up
"Hey you know what happens to a snake when a louboutin heal steps on it? Shut the hell up or you'll find out" we burst out laughing
"You wanna try bitch" I say
"El leave it" I roll my eyes at Joaquin "I'll be back in a bit"
"What? Where are you going?" I ask
"Toilet. Or does the Princess need to follow me?"
"Shut up and go" I smile rolling my eyes. A few minutes later I go in Fangs' popcorn tub
"Ughh who ate all the popcorn?"
"You did"
"Whatever. I'm gonna get a refill. Anyone want anything?"
"Popcorn" Fangs says
"Cherry Cola" Sweet Pea says. I walk over to the food cart
"What can I get you?" The guy asks
"Two popcorn and two cherry colas please" I then notice Joaquin and someone walking behind a wall "hey give me two minutes" I say and follow them "what the fuck" I say under my breath watching them lock lips
"This is my number. Use it"
"Kevin Kell-Keller as in sheriff Keller?"
"Shit Joaquin. You could have any guy and you choose him" I say once again under my breath
"I won't tell if you won't" the guy named Kevin says. I go back to the food cart and take the popcorn and cola
"Took you a while" Sweet Pea says
"Yeah well I got distracted"
"Who's the lucky guy?" Toni says smirking
"Wouldn't you like to know" I smile back while Sweet Pea rolls his eyes. We carry on watching the film when I see Joaquin come back
"Got lost Joaquin?" I ask
"What?"
"You've been gone a while"
"Yeah got distracted"
"You and me both" I fold my arms smiling at him "Sweet Pea you wanna bounce?"
"Yeah let's go"

"Ella I love you"
"I love you too" I kiss him on the lips as he begins to take off my top "wait"
"What?"he looks at me confused
"This is my first time" I say ashamed
"Don't worry I'll go slow"

I wake up next to Sweet Pea who's still asleep. Damn it Ella what's happening to you I ask myself. I get dressed and walk out texting Sweet Pea on the way to say I'm home
"Ella where did you crash last night?"  I then bump into my dad
"Sweet pea's" dad gives me a look "nothing happened I slept on the couch" I lie to him. Dads not bothered really about me sleeping over at Pea's or Fangs' as we grew up together, to him we're like family. We walk over to our trailer "anyway where are you coming back from?"
"A job" I nod in response "you best get yourself to school. Oh and I saw Jughead, I asked him where he's going to live now he said he'll figure it out"
"It's fine. I get it"
"I know you want him home but..."
"But he's stubborn. Just like you. Bye dad I'll see you later"

"Well done Ella. If this continues then you'll be getting an A in no time. I'll see you again tomorrow after school"
"Yeah bye Mr Phillips" I wipe down my clothes and grab my bag. I head out and see Sweet Pea
"What are you still doing here?" I ask him
"Picking you you up silly. Hop on" he gestures to his bike I get on the back and wrap my arms around his waist
"Where to princess?"
"Whyte Wyrm. I still need to beat your ass at pool"
"Good look with that. I'm the pool king" he shouts
"Yeah yeah come on" we both chuckle as he kicks starts his bike.

Once we arrive we head in
"You know El you could have asked me for help if your struggling instead of having Mr Philips to tutor you"
"Toni shhh. I don't want everyone knowing especially my dad"
"Sorry. Want a drink?"
"Please" Toni pours something into a cup and hands it to me
"Ella I need you to hold the fort while I'm out" my dad says as he comes down the stairs
"Sure thing" I watch as he walks out with Tall Boy 
"El how about that round of pool"
"Your on. Let's make it interesting" I say "looser has to....."
"Strip" I look over at Fangs giving him a death glare
"Fine looser strips. And the winner gets bragging rights for the next week" I say through my teeth turning to look back at Sweetpea who's smirking.

"Damn it"
"Come on El strip" I take off my crop top and leather pants leaving me in my royal blue underwear
"Damn girl" Toni says behind the bar. I roll my eyes and walk out
"And where do you think your going?"
"Home" I glare at Sweet Pea
"Not like that come on I was kidding put on your clothes" he refers to the ones in my hand "then I'll take you home"
"Thanks" I put on my clothes and walk over to the bike.
