The Serpent Queens(On Hold)

32: Likewise

Walking into the school with Mary i decided to look for Jughead but couldn't seem to find him "I just text Betts and she said she hasn't seen Jughead" Mary said and i nodded i haven't seen Jugs since i go back over a week ago.

As the bell ringed i head into history calls, sitting down i stared at the door hoping to see jughead, and just like that my prayers were answered as he came walking in the door with his laptop in his hands. "Where the hell have you been?" i said standing up and walking over towards him "sorry I've been busy," he said as he sat his laptop down and hugged me "i missed you, a whole week Jughead? Really?" i said hitting him on the back of the head "I've been really busy"

"Doing what, exactly?"

"i have a report to finish for this General Pickens" i rolled my eyes and nodded my head "okay," i said walking over towards my sit. "Class who would like to be the first to do their presentation?" Mrs. Haggly said as Cherry got up. "wait...you're not mad at me are you?" Jughead whispered as Cherry got up and started her presentation. "no I'm not mad at you Juggie you had work to do" i whispered back towards him as i kept my eyes forward "Mel, come on"

"Jug i told you I'm not mad"

"I know when you're mad"

"Clearly not"

"Mr. Jones, eyes up front." Mrs. Haggly said as Jughead turned his attention towards the front. "Thank you, Mrs. Haggly. As I was saying, each year, we honor the memory of General Pickens, yet few know the truth. That it was my great-great great-grandpappy Colonel Barnabas B. Blossom, who bankrolled General Pickens' settlement of, "...an Eden along the river of Sweetwater, where maple trees grow taller than the steeples of Europe's grandest cathedrals." This is why every year I petition the mayor's office to rename Pickens Day." Cheryl said as she flipped through the slides of the projector soon they bell ranged and i grabbed my books.

"Mr. Jones, we look forward to your oral history report next week." Mrs. Haggly said "i look forward to your oral report to," i said kissing jughead and laughing "how i miss you let me count the ways..." he started but i kissed him. "i was only joking don't get all hot and bothered," i said as he wrapped his arms around me as i stuffed my books in my locker. "Archie told me you and he went on a road trip to see some of your old friends, is that true?"

"Yeah, i told you.. remember? you were getting in the shower and i was brushing my teeth.."

"Oh yeah i don't remember much of that morning that was the time you made breakfast and i was so focused on that," he said remembering that night. "yeah see i told you and you didn't listen that's not my fault," i said as i started walking out the door.

"Mr. Andrews? what's up?" i asked as he stood next to my motorcycle "I have a purposely for you?"

"And what is that purpose?" i asked as i sat on my bike "we would like to hire you and the rest of the serpents?"

"For what"

"Protection"

"For what?"

"We would like to hire them as security for the event."

"Mmm, okay, I'll let them know," i said heading towards pops to grab something to eat before lunch is over. "i got the burgers from Pops," i said handing a bag to Mary and sitting down on the couch next to Kev. "did you bring me something?" Jughead said walking into the room and sitting across from me "yeah, here you go" i said tossing him a burger.

"Do you remember when i was talking about finding my brother?" i nodded "and this is him?" she said passing her phone around "Well, he's very fetching for someone who was living on Skid Row." Vee said passing it towards Kev "Yeah, he's a hottie who looks incredibly familiar to me, by the way." Kev said "He does look familiar i think I've seen him before," i said looking over Kev's shoulder.
