Mercy POV

The day we decided to walk is the day it decides to rain. I huff as Jenson holds the umbrella.

Me:Do you know what you're genuinely getting into?

Jenson:What do you mean?

Me:Working for my dad.

He frowns slightly and nods. Good no lying like we promised.

Jenson:If this is your world then I'm fine living in it. I want to get the gist of it and learn how it works.

Me:But why? What if I don't want to live that life?

Jenson:Do you?

He looks at me and I sigh before shrugging.

Me:I don't know what I want, I don't even know what school I want to go to. I don't even have a major or minor I want to go into when I go to college.

Jenson:That's fine, with your grades and connections you'll be able to go to any school, literally. We're still young, but I know I want to be wherever you are. Because I do feel at home with you, I feel comfortable I feel safe, with your family as well.

I nod and sigh.

Jenson:So yes, I do know what I'm getting myself into. And I'll happily fall head first if you want me to.

Me:I want you to fall brain first. Don't just do it because it's my family, it's plenty of spouses who aren't in the life their significant other is in.

Jenson:I'm sure there is but I'm good. It's more my style anyway.

Me:Okay, great.

Jenson:Besides, no one else is crazy enough to get your phone number from some crazy serpent teens while trying to dodge FP.

I laugh and he chuckles.

Me:I thought of that on the top of my head, I had to get my own info about you before I could just give you my number.

Jenson:Oh yeah? *laughing* I'm glad everything came out okay.

Me:Me too.

Jughead:Veronica, are you trying to manage me right now?

I sit with the rest of the group and just shake my head at the new issue at hand.

Veronica:Define "manage,"

Jughead:People are going to lose their homes.

Veronica:Jughead, why don't you come over with your dad and sit down with my dad, and hash this out with civilized humans, face to face?

See Betty acting really fidgety and I frown thinking about her question last night.

Jughead:Okay, on one condition. Your dad comes to Sunnyside Trailer Park. I want him to see the people that he's gone be displacing.

Veronica:Fine. And trust me no one is gonna be displaced.

Jenson:Can't really keep that promise, he owns the high school now.

Me:What? How do you know that?

Jenson:Public knowledge. Well for us anyway.

Kevin comes in and starts with another load of drama.
