it was friday, september 25th when richie tozier finally crossed the line.
β½Β Β Β Β me and you togetherΒ Β
βiβm so sorry. i canβt help it.β he says, feeling like the worldβs shittiest best friend. he thinks he might cry.Β
ΰΌΊ Β Β Β pink lemonade*Β
it was well past one and he was kind of regretting not going out. it was the not knowing that was killing him, really - were you kissing some guy right now?
Β Β Β loving someone β½Β
so instead of giving you the answer that you deserve- the richie of it all, the βi love you too much and iβm not good enoughβ of it all, he just tips his body forward.
β° ΰΌΊ Β Β Β taboos and the absurd* Β Β part II* Β part III*
he hums, reading over the first few paragraphs with a hint of a smile. βisnβt that the point though? itβs hotter because itβs wrong.β
Β Β Β gentle* Β
βdo you want to keep going, honey?β he asks with a kiss under your jaw and you nod, βyes, please, richie.β you say softly.
Β Β Β right*
richie. how could you forget richie?
β°β½ ΰΌΊ Β Β rude boy* Β Β part II* Β Β part III* Β β½
but the worst thing about working at the diner came in the form of a 6'2 nightmare with a sharp jawline and a serious nicotine addiction. richie fucking tozier.Β
Β Β Β sinscerity is scary
βrichie, pleaseβ¦ donβt make this harder for me.β you say quickly, looking to him and looking immediately away. his heart feels like a pit and he shakes his head, cursing his stupid mouth.
Β Β Β let me*
heβs going to eat that smirk when youβre done with him.
Β Β Β high*
you didnβt really care for richie before your parents got married, and now heβs a permanent thorn in your side.Β
Β Β Β lethal combination
you were that βduoβ -Β you were the life of every party, the center of every room. and it always has been like that.
Β Β Β bad in bed*
heβd looked back at you as if challenging you. you almost wanted to laugh, but instead let it go. youβd deal with that later.
Β Β Β circle the drain
youβre so thankful for his hand in yours because you feel your mind trying to defy gravity, your brain longing to scour the universe for the answers to questions you never want to have to ask.
Β Β Β concerned
βfuck, sugar what do i do?β he rambles, wiping sweaty hands on his pants as he peers up at your doubled-over figure.
Β Β Β if youβre too shy*
βis that o-onlyfans?β bill says and richie shoves billβs nosy face off his shoulder with a panicked grunt. βfuck off, mushmouth.β
ΰΌΊ Β Β Β boyfriend stuff
βyeah, his grandma catching you kissing is sort of a huge victory in the βselling the fake datingβ department, but itβs also a huge bummer for your βpride and self-confidenceβ department.β
Β Β Β mustang*
"you got a deathwish, babe?β he says lowly as you nip at the skin under his jaw, your hand palming him teasingly. heβs already hard and you smirk against his skin. βrelax, all you have to do is drive.β you say as you undo your seatbelt, twisting so you can feel him better.
Β Β Β buttercup
he would be totally daft not to wonder how he ended up with a soulmate like her, someone not only so fucking attractive but so kind and undeserving of a monstrosity of a human like him. she is, in every place he isnβt, a complete and utter success of a person; heβs a hurricane where sheβs whitecaps in the sea, heβs loud and abrupt while she is kind and outgoing.
ΰΌΊ Β Β Β kool aid*
youβd hoped your face wasnβt nearly as red as you felt it was, because that would certainly give yourself away. he canβt know how hot you thought richie calling himself daddy was. and heβd been doing it ever since.Β
Β Β Β helping hand*
βwell i canβt, like, just tell my best friend that iβm frustrated because i canβt rub one out without giving my dick cast-burn. that shit hurts, by the way.β he adds, groaning as he rubs his forehead in exasperation.
β½ Β Β Β crush culture
βi didnβt really ask for your input, though.β he mutters, cheeks reddening as tears definitely well in his eyes behind his lenses. βyou canβt just ignore me at your every whim just to come right back and tell me whatβs good for me.β
Β Β Β heather
βum, y/nβ¦ is this because of heather?β he says after a bit.Β
βrichie.β you say weakly, your voice coming out too quiet, too obviously broken and exhausted. βi cannot do this. please donβt do this right nowβ
β° Β Β Β i wanna see you but youβre not mineΒ Β Β Β part ii
βand?β he asks after a gulp of the black coffee. the sun bathes the entire house in bright morning light, giving richie a kind of sunny silhouette - a halo of sorts that you donβt know if he really deserves.
Β Β Β Β Β hot sugar*
heβs too enthralled with the video game to respond. you almost leave, but your eyes flick down to his hands and you nearly pass out as you see his fingers moving over the buttons, maneuvering the joystick in a way that makes his veins pop out of his arms and hands.
β° β½ ΰΌΊ Β Β Β troublemaker*Β Β Β part two*
though the rivalry was a simple game when you were kids, ever since richie and you hit the end of middle school, you kind of realized you just genuinely hated each other.
Β Β Β almost stupid
βitβs just stupid, richieβ¦ i am so in love with you, itβs absurd.β you mutter, the clearest youβve sounded all night since you walked into that party. and as the world fades away quickly and sleep knocks you out, you donβt second guess richieβs silence or his soft, βwait what?β
β° ΰΌΊ Β Β Β when richie met y/nΒ Β Β
Β prologueΒ Β Β part iΒ Β part ii
βyou realize,Β of course, that we can never be friends.β his words, while irritating beyond belief, do capture your attention.Β "and why not?β you drawl.Β
he swallows. "what Iβm saying is - and this is not a come-on in any way, shape or form -Β is that men and women canβt be friends because the sex part always gets in the way.β
its silent for a second as you take in the idiocy of his words. "richie. thatβs the stupidest thing iβve ever heard.β
β½ Β Β Β sex
βthe excuses started to run out when you were both stone cold sober, making out every time you were alone, texting him at two in the morning while you wore next to nothing, meeting up at his apartment βjust to hang outβ before you go see your boyfriend.β
Β Β Β friendly neighborhood spiderman
βcanβt you just tell me your name?β you plead with him, voice wavering. his mouth opens, then closes as if he decided against it. carefully, one hand pulls his mask back over his lips, concealing him once again as spiderman. the boy you finally knew for a mere minuteΒ is gone, probably forever. "i canβt. i wish i could."Β
Β Β Β you should be
your eyes fall easily to the house next to yours, the small balcony adjacent to yours open and a boy sitting on a folding chair, smoking a half-ashed joint in his fingers. heβs staring shamelessly.Β
Β Β Β Β long way home
"crazy, how quickly you forget your childhood.β he says quietly.Β the town slowly fades away before your eyes, and for a fleeting moment you feel stupid for thinking it -and you donβt dare say it - but thereβs something really sweet about being back in the middle of nowhere again with him.
Β Β Β cleaning the room*
Β βrichie hums, pulling out of you and grabbing the phone. you whine, looking at him, βno, please keep going, i can call him back later.β you beg, desperate to feel richie again. richie raises his brows, βyou know heβll just keep calling."β
β½ ΰΌΊ Β Β Β house sitting*
βwhat the fuck?β you project, eyes landing on the figure who walks into the kitchen, towel hanging low on his hips as water drips from wet, shaggy curls of hair. you meet the bright eyes of richie tozier, your roommateβs best friend.β
βyeah, sheβs the most annoying person on earth. except for maybe richie. y/n could give an aspirin the headache of itβs life.β stan jests, eyes not leaving the girl. βiβm not sure what iβd do without that crazy in my life. i like the way her brain works.β
Β Β Β simple season
he smiles and lets out a sweet laugh. it sounds the way cherry popsicles taste and you almost swoon.
Β Β Β interrupted*
your hands moving to stable yourself on both sides of your body, your cheeks flaming up. βwhy are you here, what the fuck?β you hiss.
Β Β Β tease*
βhmm. so you were flirting with that guy just forβ¦ fun?β he asks, hands falling onto your hips out of habit although his jaw is still clenched
Β Β Β Β babylove*Β
stanβs grinning up at you with his boyish smile, his cheeks slightly rosy from the warmth of the covers, and his curly hair tousled.
Β Β Β secret
stan looks heavenly even from this angle as he stares down at you, curls swaying as he moves to shake his head at you, biting his lip to hold back what you know would be a small giggle. βmy god. are you five?β he asks in his trademark bored tone, his face giving way as he grins boyishly down at you.
Β Β Β heat waves* Β part 2*
βi think i love you.β
he says it louder than intended, and it slices through the midnight air in a way that makes the world stagnant. he swears, even the frogs stop croaking, the cicadas stop buzzing, the wind stops blowing through the leaves in the forest.
β° β½ ΰΌΊ Β Β Β tozier *
itβs funny: richieβs been dangling this forbidden fruit in front of you ever since you first went through your sexual awakening years ago and only now have you realized that heβs too blind to notice when you actually pluck the grapes off the vine, one by one. and the fact that youβre doing it right in front of his eyes make it feel so much sweeter.
billβs eyes wont stop glancing down at your lips. βg-grow the fuck up, y/n.β he spits back at you, his eyes furious.
Β Β Β detentionΒ
βwell if i left now, iβd b-be robbed of some q-quality time with such p-pleasant company.β he says, voice dripping with sarcasm. god, you loathed him. Β
Β Β Β sweetheart*
he barely has time to grab a blanket from the shelf next to you and toss it over you before a pair of ratty converse hit the ground and another pair of k-swiss with white tube socks land after.
Β Β Β jealous*
your stomach tingles with butterflies, he kissed you because he just felt like it.
Β Β Β untutorable*Β
when you first found out bill denbrough was going to tutor you, you were excited.Β
Β Β Β be quiet*
βwhat do you want, bill?β you call, your eyes landing on your step brother.
Β Β Β iβd like that*
βwondering if you want me to call you daddy.βyou feel him swallow and you continue, βbecause i think iβd like that.β
ΰΌΊ Β Β Β laser tagΒ
βso e-easily distracted.β he echoes your previous words, this time dripping from his own lips like honey.Β
Β Β Β sketches
your own eyes stare back at you from the pages and for the first time in a really long time you felt seen in a way you never knew you needed.
Β Β Β Β separate seas
y/nβ¦. bill remembers cloudy memories of a girl with bright eyes and laughter. he sees his house, next to it, a blue one; georgie, with a bright smile, running up to a girl who came out of the garage of the blue house to the left. she hugs him and his arms squeeze around her middle, his face half buried in her soft stomach. he remembers thinking she is beautiful.
Β Β Β i hate you*
you scowl, βfuck you, bill. can you just leave? nobody wants you here.β you spit as you sit at the dining table, crossing your arms.
Β Β Β isnβt this easy?
itβs quiet then, because all seven of you - and possibly bill himself - were all thinking it, but not even you or richie were bold enough to just say it.
Β Β Β Β guiltyΒ
βi just feel selfish for missing you. i feel like i have to walk on eggshells around you because youβre up so late and always tired. when youβre here youβre in your office and we havenβt even eaten together in weeks, and i know itβs because youβre writing something amazing and i am so excited for it but i just feel selfish every time i even want to talk to you.β
Β Β Β walking home
βi wanted to s-say βi love youβ for th-the first time w-without stuttering, but that failed.β
β½ Β Β Β teach me how*Β
his eyebrows immediately shoot up and he wheezes, βwh-what? wait, wh- are you s-saying youβve never t-touched yourself?β
β½ ΰΌΊ Β Β Β chubby bunny*Β
βc'mon, i b-bet you can fit m-more than that.β he mutters lowly.Β
Β Β Β narcissist
it was one of those days that really should have been fantastic.
Β Β Β heart eyes*
he shakes his head gently through his drunken state. your face falls and you step back. bill swears the angelβs wings start to droop and wilt as you seem to sober up slightly.
Β Β Β heat of the summer*
but you like coming to spend time by the pool a lotβ¦ that is, if by 'poolβ you meant 'the hot lifeguard who works at the pool.β bill was his name.
Β Β Β softcore
for a moment you think he could be dead. his eyes are open, unblinking as they gaze at the faded stars stuck to the ceiling.Β but when he hears you, he almost almost stumbles to life, his chest starting to rise and fall again as he looks at you, a shaky hand running through his grown out hair as he sits up.

Β Β Β stealing the show*
βbill, maybe you should watch out, your girl is stealing your show.β he says, smirking. bill chuckles, looking non-chalant. βshe steals the show no matter where she goes.β bill purrs.Β his jaw is clenched though, and you see through his faΓ§ade, heat dropping through your body at the jealous glint in his eyes.Β
ΰΌΊ Β Β Β knee socks*
your dadβs best friendβ¦. yeah, this was so wrong.
Β Β Β semi-charming*
"whatβs your name?β he asks and you almost laugh as his grip on your thigh tightens, the feeling of his fingers wrapped around your skin making you feel hot. he doesnβt even know your name, and youβre stuck in this situation with him. you could laugh again if his hand wasnβt so warm against your thigh. βy/n.β you struggle out, throat feeling dry, βit says that on my door.β you say breathlessly.Β
it was kind of obvious, how you and eddie feel about each other, but youβd yet to say anything to each other about it.

requested:Β okay so once regular requests open, hereβs my idea. so the reader and richie are siblings and they absolutely hate each other and to get under his sisters skin, he fucks her best friend. so in sheer anger she decides to fuck all of his
warnings: swearing, smut, unedited bc im a lazy assholeΒ
ok guys hereβs part one of the new series! iβll probably have to go back in and edit some stuff n probably change the name but lmk what u guys think and what u wanna see for the next parts :)Β

2.8k words

you know richie pretty well, if you say so yourself. hell, you grew up with him - youβve known him your whole entire life and even now, as 19 and 20 year olds, youβre still at each otherβs throats constantly.Β
naturally, growing up with richie as your brother was full of ups and downs - like the time that you were still a baby in your crib and heβd curiously wandered into your nursery and twisted your finger, causing it to break. or, that time when you two got into a fight over who took the last of the ice cream in the freezer and didnβt speak to each other for almost three whole days.
requested:Β heyyy i love your work!! can i maybe request a Richie smut where their like in the middle of doing βitβ but then someone calls the reader (maybe bev or eddie or sumn) and instead of stopping richie keeps going and so she has to continue the call and pretend like shes not in the middle of such unholy acts haha sorry if its too specific,, thank you!!!
warnings: swearing, smut, spitting, v light cum play, light light slapping (reader smacks richie bc theyre frustrated he was teasing them), unprotected sex, risky sex, talking on the phone w someone, use of the words whore/slut, degradation, this has literally no plot its all smut LOL
heyyy finally bback w a fic, i have awful writers block so this was all i could do. hope u guys like it
A/N: I haven't written anything in ages but I was watching b99 one night and got this idea inspired by jake and amy's bet in s1 and also from a request for a first time smut with lots of praise. also i'm not sure if i'm gonna keep writing for this account or if i'm gonna move to another account and write for other fandoms or something so lemme know what you guys would be interested in
warnings; smut, reader is a virgin but richie isn't, enemies/friends to lovers with the boy next door
-
you wouldnβt have agreed to the bet if you thought you were gonna lose. your ego couldnβt handle that, losing a bet to richie, because heβs such a fucking asshole when he wins and youβre regretting ever speaking a word to him to begin with.
final exams were right before graduation. so you didnβt get the results in until a month into the summer, and you and richie had bet on who was gonna score higher in your english final. youβd said it since your stupid rivalry with richie began, your only leverage was that despite the fact that he was always top of the class, you always did better than him in english.
your mom had forced you to tutor him for a couple months when she heard he was struggling, because for some reason you could not comprehend, your mom had a soft spot for richie. in her eyes he was the sweet and charming son of her friends next door. a part of you believed she liked him more than you, and maybe thatβs where part of the resentment comes from.
richie was awful at english. he just always managed to branch off into other topics in his essays that turned the entire thing into nonsense. so when you made a joke about his abilities in the class, and he over-confidently bet you that he could score higher than you in the final, you literally laughed in his face. you knew there was no way in hell he could do that, so you agreed to the terms with no hesitation.
if you score higher than him, you get his truck. you barely had to think of what you wanted because his truck was something he talked about endlessly. it was basically his baby, and you couldnβt pass the opportunity to win it from him.
but, if he scores higher, then you have to go on a date with him.
you hesitated when he first said it, but in your head you just kept reminding yourself there was no way he could possibly score higher than you. you knew that. you never wouldβve agreed to it otherwise.
you never shouldβve agreed to it.
you didnβt know richies friend group very well besides bill. you had been one of the most understanding with his stutter, and went with him to every one of his speech therapy sessions in sophomore year because he was too embarrassed to tell anybody else.
richie was working a shift at the diner when everyoneβs test scores came in the mail, and their whole group was getting together for lunch so they could see their scores together. he figured you may as well come with them, so you and richie could see your scores at the same time. you agreed, and you were the first one running into the diner once billβs car was parked.
you smacked your envelope on the counter in front of richie, who grinned as he finished stuffing a stack of napkins into the metal holder. bill followed closely behind you, handing richie his own envelope that bill had got from maggie when he picked you up.
βhave you done any preparation for our date tonight?β richie says, as he pushes aside the napkin holder and picked up his envelope but doesnβt yet go to open it. you snort audibly.
βthatβs hilarious. i actually was just checking out my truck in the lot as i was coming in. did you fill it up on you way here? i figured iβd just take it with meβ you smile confidently, a hand on your hip.
βenough flirting, you twoβ beverly, the redhead, says as she moves to stand on the other side of you. you didnβt know bev very well, but you had always been jealous of her in a way. her beauty, her effortless confidence.. she was a walking angel. she smiles and a dimple flashes on her cheek as she pushes her hair behind her ear. βthe suspense is killing me, just open themβ
richie hands her a glass of iced tea across the counter that you hadnβt seen him make, as if it had been waiting for her. she winks at him as she takes it out of his hand, her fingers brushing his before she starts sipping from the straw, and you feel a rage fill you that hadnβt been there before. you think, surely itβs just because of how annoying richie is. you canβt stand him, and his antics right now are grossing you out. that has to be it. but you force that thought out of your head as you snatch up your envelope and turn to richie, your eyebrow raised as you wait for him to grab his.
βon 3?β he says, and you scoff a βhell noβ as you rip open the envelope. he only shakes his head with a snicker as he tears open his own.
the 98% stares back at you from the paper and you feel euphoric. you think thatβs it, thereβs no way heβs got you beat, but when you look up from your paper and see him smirking, youβre suddenly sick to your stomach. he puts his paper on the counter face up and turns it around, pushing it towards you so you can see, and you wanna throw up.
98.6%
βyou see that, doll?β he says, his voice almost echoing in your head. βcorrect me if iβm wrong, but i see ninety eight on yours, and it looks like mine is point six percent more than yours-β
βoh my godβ
richie moves from around the counter to stand next to you as you try to turn away from him.
βi think that means, you loseβ
βoh my godβ you could genuinely throw up.
βso about that date tonight, i have a bunch of ideasβ he grins, rubbing his hands together as he walks backwards away from you and you roll your eyes as you try to come back to yourself. he turns to one of the customers, sat a few stools down from you at the bar and judging by the way theyβre interacting, you assume theyβre a regular customer of his.
βjanet, you hear that? this is y/n, iβve known her for years and she finally agreed to go out with meβ
you know heβs only joking, and you can hear a few of the boys laughing behind you so you only roll your eyes. you donβt want to give him any more of a reaction than you already have.
the lady, janet, gives richie a peck on the cheek and a $5 tip, telling him to treat you extra well tonight. you cover your face with the hands at the thought.
youβre actually going on a date with richie, and youβre dreading seeing what he has planned.
ββ
richie hasnβt even come to pick you up yet, and youβre already thinking of running downstairs and stealing your moms car, driving as far away from here as possible to avoid whatever he has planned for tonight. the dress in itself, one he had picked out and gave you when you left the diner, is awful. you already werenβt the type to wear dresses, and of course richie knew that, which is probably why he had you in the biggest, most pink dress youβve ever fucking seen. it looked like a prom dress; tight around your torso, maybe a little too tight, and a big skirt that went down to just below your knees. he didnβt give you a pair of shoes, which you were grateful for as you figured he likely wouldβve stuck you in way too high heels, so you threw on your black converse. maybe you could piss him off at least a little bit tonight.
a rhythmic knock at your front door had your eyes shooting wide open as you rushed to beat your mom to the door.
βi got it!β you tried to yell, but when you got to the top of the stairs, you saw your mom already opening up the door. you heard the loud squeal as she pulled richie in for a hug and you ran back to your room, shoving your face into your pillow and hoping your bed would swallow you whole.
this was part of his plan.
show off to your mom, give her a flower from the bouquet he brought, tell her all about how heβs finally taking you on a date like she always dreamed. you wanted to rip your hair out.
you can hear your mom calling you from downstairs, telling you to come down already, and you sigh as you get up from your bed. you really shouldnβt have made this stupid bet.
your steps echo throughout the room as you stomp down the stairs, trying in every way possible to convey how annoyed you are with this whole situation. your mom squeals happily again, clapping until you stomp onto the floor in front of her and richie and she sees your shoes.
βoh dear, donβt you want to put on some nicer shoes?β she says condescendingly, and you turn to glare at her.
βoh dearβ you mimic in a high voice similar to hers. βiβd rather dieβ
she only sighs, turning and planting a kiss on richies cheek before taking the bouquet of flowers from his hand, pushing him with you out the door.
βget along you two, have a great night!β
βi wonβt!β you reply on your way out the door, shutting it before she can retaliate with something else.
βwell, donβt you look dashingβ richie says, and you scoff with a roll of your eyes, dragging yourself to his truck in your driveway.
βthis is the ugliest fucking dress iβve ever seenβ you snap back, jumping into the front seat as he starts the vehicle. you hadnβt properly looked at him until now, and you notice the full suit heβs wearing. the dress shirt, dress pants, blazer and tie. you almost smile to yourself, because you know for a fact he canβt tie his own tie. you watched him struggle with one before graduation until he had to get his mom to do it for him. you remember how embarrassed he looked when he had to ask her, and you can picture in your head him going to her tonight and asking her to tie it for him before he came to get you.
you bite your cheek as you think to yourself, if he can push his ego aside to do that, then you can shut up about the dress. at least he payed for it.
βwhere are we going?β
he only laughs to himself as he pulls out of your driveway.
βitβs a surpriseβ
-
when he first pulled up in front of the restaurant, you were pleasantly surprised. you didnβt recognize the name, and it was just outside of derry, far enough that you figured there wasnβt any way youβd see anyone you knew. that was until richie stuck his hand on your lower back to lead you inside with a too wide grin, and your eyes landed on bill.
fuck
you can see him trying to contain his laughter as you walk up to him with richie, and you shake your head in embarrassment, covering your face with your hands. you shouldβve known he would take you here.
the italian restaurant was pretty small, not a well known spot but bill, beverly and stan had all been working part time jobs here for a while. stan, actually, was pretty much full time by this point. he worked any time he wasnβt home and picked up even more hours since school ended. he just got promoted to bartender. beverly had been working as a server for a few months, and bill just got the job as a host right before school got out. he needed some extra money before he left for school, and stan pretty much got him the job.
of course richie would take you here, just another humiliation tactic.
although it didnβt turn out to be too bad. discount food, a private booth in the back, and stan even managed to sneak you guys a few drinks. and the conversation, you hated to admit, was pretty nice. richie had always been pretty easy to talk to if you wanted to, and in moments like these you always wondered why you ever hated him to begin with.
he even complimented your shoes. asshole.
he pays for the whole tab, and on your way out he stops you, grabbing your arm to pull you around the back of the restaurant. for a minute youβre about to laugh, wondering if heβs about to try and make a move on you in such a dumb way like this, but the door opens up and stan pokes his head out. he mutters a few words to richie that you canβt hear, and hands him a bottle of red wine. you smile to yourself. nice.
you had assumed, for the most part, that your date night was coming to an end. you figured heβd just drop you off, leave you with a bit more teasing and humiliation and that was it. but he drove in the opposite direction of your guysβ neighbourhood, further away from derry until he pulled up to a decent looking hotel. you almost laughed to yourself, wondering again if this was some kind of move, but he put his hand out when he noticed the look on your face.
βitβs not what youβre thinking, i promiseβ
you laugh audibly. βand what am i thinking?β youβre half joking, trying to tease him but youβre also trying to get him to say it out loud whether he actually sees you in that type of way. because youβre still trying to figure out if you see him that way.
but he doesnβt say anything, simply chuckling and shooting a wink at you as he gets out of the truck. you blindly follow him, because youβre pretty sure he has nothing else up his sleeve for you, and you hate to say it but you trust him.
as soon as he opens the door to the room, your eyes land on the single queen sized bed against the wall. you almost laugh, but you remember that heβs definitely taking you home tonight thanks to the cerfew your mom gave him, so itβs not like youβre sleeping in this bed with him. he doesnβt close the door yet after you walk in, and you hear him curse under his breath.
βi forgot some stuff in the truck, iβll be right back. just make yourself comfortableβ
you canβt find the energy to give him any attitude, smiling to yourself and keeping quiet as he shuts the door and leaves. you do a quick lap of the room, looking at everything and trying to figure out what game richie is playing. youβve come to the conclusion that heβs just done with the night; he has nothing else planned but he doesnβt wanna take you home yet. you figure if youβre gonna be out for a little while longer, youβre not sure how much longer you can keep this dress on.
youβre turning nearly in circles as you struggle with the zipper on the back, the wires inside the torso part digging into your skin harshly. youβre trying everything possible, trying to turn the dress around so the zipper is in the front, but no luck. youβre in the bathroom, hands on the edge of the counter as you lean against it and try and think of your next move when you hear richie come back in the room.
βy/n?β he calls out, and you hear him sitting on the bed. βiβm back. i figured we could get room service or something, you didnβt eat much at the restaurantβ
you still, the corner of your lip turning up as you realize heβs right. you hadnβt eaten much at the restaurant, partially worried by how much everything cost but you also were too nervous about not being able to breathe in the dress. you hadnβt realized he was paying attention like that, you didnβt expect him to notice.
half shocked and out of options, you step out of the bathroom and stand in front of richie whoβs laying down on the bed, his legs hanging off the end and feet on the floor. he looks up at you as you approach him with a look of genuine concern and curiosity. he had shed the blazer and tie, his dress shirt half unbuttoned, pale skin on display as he sat up. he had grabbed the bottle of wine while he was gone, the one stan gave him and it was sitting on the table next to two full glasses. your arms are crossed as you hold the front of your dress.
βcan you help me unzip?β you ask, putting it as simply as possible. he clears his throat, nodding awkwardly as you turn to face away from him, moving your hair out of the way. he barely moves, staying seated on the bed behind you, nimble fingers grazing the skin of your back as they wrap around the zipper and pull it down, all the way down to the small of your back and right above your lacy underwear. he saw it, a hint of black lace poking out under the zipper and he coughs again, turning to look away when you face him again and thank him.
you grab a robe from the front closet on your way back to the bathroom, shutting the door fully behind you.
what the hell has gotten into you?
this wasnβt like you at all, to flirt in general let alone with richie. and you wanted to scream because you actually want him right now.
you push that thought aside, partly because you still feel weird thinking about richie, and also because youβre still thinking he doesnβt see you that way.
you finally get the dress off, kicking it somewhere on the floor and throwing the robe on over yourself.
richie has shed another layer by the time you come out of the bathroom, his shirt somewhere on the floor and his pants switched out for a pair of fleece pyjama pants you figure he probably found in his truck.
youβre sat beside him on the bed, grabbing your glass of wine from the table on the way, no words being exchanged as you both try to figure out what the hell to do or say. the tv echoes from across the room.
βwhat were you gonna do with my truck if you won? would you really have destroyed it like you told bill?β
you smile and shake your head, still looking at the tv. βno, i was gonna drive itβ
you donβt say anything else, and richie looks genuinely surprised as he struggles to think of a response.
βi donβt hate you, yβknowβ you continue. you finally turn to look at him as you feel his eyes on you. βat least i donβt think soβ
βcouldβve fooled meβ he chuckles, and when you donβt laugh with him, he looks at you again. you press your lips together and richie wants to eat his words. because in a way, he knows what youβre about to say.
βyou can be really meanβ you mumble, so quietly your voice cracks a bit. heβs pulled his lip between his teeth, his hand landing to cover one of yours, his thumb brushing your skin softly.
βi knowβ he whispers, feeling the worst heβs ever felt. βiβm so sorryβ
his eyes keep drifting between your eyes and your lips, your bodies slowly moving closer together without meaning to. your lips are centimetres apart, you can feel his breath on your face and your heart is pounding in your chest as you look at his lips for a split second before staring in his eyes again. neither of you break eye contact, not even blinking. you gasp and your eyes drift shut for half a second when his lips brush against yours, but you open them again and pull back slightly, just enough to see his whole face.
βmake it up to meβ
he barely gives you the time to take a full breath before he kisses you, grabbing the wine from your hand and putting both glasses aside before moving to hover over you fully, laying you on your back.
youβre lightheaded, already out of breath and you know itβs not just about the current situation. not fully, at least.
youβve known richie pretty much your whole life, since you were a toddler for sure, when you first moved to town and your mom became best friends with maggie next door. you were raised together. you hated to talk about it, but he was your first kiss. heβd had his way earlier, before high school just like everyone else you knew and as much as you tried to hide it he could tell something was bothering you. you didnβt wanna tell him because you knew heβd tease you about it, but when you started crying before he could get a word out, he shut his mouth. he snuck both of you out that night and showed you the clubhouse he made with his friends. he didnβt even try to make a move, just brought a bag full of snacks, let you lay in the hammock while he sat on the floor and read comic books. he just wanted to make you feel better. it wasnβt until weeks later when you both sat in his basement during a combined family dinner, avoiding your parents conversation and watching some rerun of miami vice that you brought it up. neither of you had talked about that night in the clubhouse since because both of you were too embarrassed to admit how much fun it was. you still acted like you didnβt like each other, so neither of you wanted to talk about it. but you felt bad not thanking him even once.
he didnβt tease you like you expected to when you did, though, only smiled thoughtfully and reminded you it wasnβt a big deal. you both kept staring at each other, almost daring the other to do something until you finally leaned in and kissed him. it was barely two seconds, but you both flushed bright red and you ran back upstairs. you havenβt talked to him about it since that day, even now with him on top of you.
he pulls you back to the moment with a worried look.
βare you okay?β he asks, moving his hand to your cheek and staring into your eyes like he was searching for something in them. βdo you wanna stop? if itβs too much-β
βnoβ you cut him off, surprised. why does he have to be so fucking sweet sometimes. βno itβs okay. i donβt wanna stop, i was just thinkingβ
he hums, pressing a kiss to your cheek before trailing more down your neck.
βabout?β
your breath is shaky as he pulls the skin under your ear between his teeth, sucking on it softly before pulling back, running his tongue over the faint mark.
βmy first kissβ you reply softly, dreamily, like heβs got you mesmerized. he pulls back fully to look at you, brushing his thumb against your cheek again.
βwith me?β he asks, as if he isnβt sure though you know he is. he just wants you to say that youβre thinking about him.
βi only had one first kissβ you snap back, trying to sound snarky but failing thanks to the heat rushing between your legs, where heβs slotted his knee and is pushing against you.
βyknow, i think about that kiss a lot..β he admits. βhavenβt been able to get you out of my head sinceβ
he pushes his knee against you harder and you buck your hips without meaning to, your body desperately trying to get friction. you moan softly and richie grunts. that was the hottest thing heβs ever heard, and he wants nothing more than to make you make that sound again. and again, and again..
βyou think about me?β you ask innocently, your eyes clouded with lust as you stare up at him, chewing on your bottom lip to try and contain your noises. richie brushes his thumb against the corner of your mouth, pulling your lip from between your teeth, just barely pushing his thumb in your mouth before retracting it.
βyouβre a dream, y/nβ he whispers against your cheek as he kisses it. βyou make it hard not toβ he presses another kiss to your other cheek before hovering over your face again. βespecially with those noises youβre makingβ
he runs his thumb across your bottom lip again before kissing you, sucking the air out of your lungs. he moves his hand to your thigh, under the robe, and you whimper into his mouth when he gently pushes your leg aside, effectively spreading you open. you can feel the air rush between your legs when he pulls back and you feel exposed, despite the robe thatβs still partially wrapped around you.
βdonβt hold back anythingβ
you let out a shaky breath when his hands move up the inside of your thighs, kissing the exposed skin of your chest.
βcan i?β he asks, his fingertips grazing the fabric of your underwear, so close to where you need him to touch you but not close enough. you nod desperately and richie looks up at you as he moves further down the bed, closer and closer to where you want him.
βi told you, babyβ he speaks lowly, pulling open your robe and dragging his lips across the newly exposed skin. βdonβt hold anything backβ
you let out the moan you were holding in, closing your eyes and arching up into him.
βyes, yes richie pleaseβ you whine, and he plants his hand firmly on your sternum to push you back down against the bed. βtouch me, pleaseβ
he chuckles lowly, kissing just below your naval as his fingers tuck into your underwear and start pulling them down your legs.
βi will, sweetheart, donβt worryβ he says, throwing the lacy fabric in his hands on the floor somewhere. βbut you gotta hold still for me, okay?β
you buck your hips up into his face when he kisses your inner thigh and you huff when he pulls back.
βyes, im sorry. anything, richie, iβll do anything just please touch meβ
youβre overwhelmed, on the verge of tears from all your pent up feelings, and heβs about to give in but he notices something. the desperation of your voice, how quickly youβre shaking underneath him. how wet you are.
βnobodies ever touched you like this beforeβ he says matter of factly. itβs not a question, he can tell. you flush beet red, covering your face and trying to avoid having to admit it but youβre cut off with a gasp when he latches onto your clit, sucking it into his mouth and immediately pushing a finger inside you.
youβre ashamed by how loudly you cry out, immediately throwing your hand over your mouth but removing it when you remember what richie said. you move both hands to his hair, trying with every part of your being to stay still as you clench your eyes shut tightly and pull on his hair. when you arch your back without meaning to, youβre expecting him to stop, but he takes the opportunity to use his free hand to pull the robe thatβs barely hanging from your body off and out from under you. he throws it on the floor with your underwear.
youβre fully naked now, exposed and vulnerable as he lays between your legs, pushing another finger inside you beside the first. your mouth opens a bit wider in surprise, your hands gathering the blanket under you into your fists.
βiβm the luckiest guy in the worldβ he mumbles against you before pulling back to look at you fully, his fingers continuing to move inside you, faster with every whine or whimper that escapes you. βfirst guy to kiss you, first guy to touch you..β
youβre writhing under him, no matter how hard you try to keep from moving. your whole body is on fire, a feeling bubbling in your lower stomach.
βi hope iβm the only guy that ever gets to touch you like thisβ
βrich- ah!β he curls his fingers inside you, rubbing against that spot and pulling another string of whimpers from you as he continues to push his fingers faster. βrichie i.. iβm- ohβ
βyou gonna cum?β he asks, and you nod as you continue to squirm under his touch. he sucks your clit back into his mouth and you cry out loudly.
βdo it, babyβ he replaces his mouth with his thumb, rubbing circles in time with the thrusts of his fingers, fucking you faster and harder. βcum for meβ
as if you were waiting for his command, you throw your head back against the pillows and clench around his fingers, your vision spotty as your legs shake. he continues to finger you through your orgasm, slowing to a stop but continuing to rub your clit softly. itβs soothing, and your body jolts a few times from the stimulation as you come back to yourself.
βwhy didnβt you tell me youβre a virgin?β he asks, his finger still rubbing slow circles against you. your hands are gripping his biceps now as he moves to hover over you again, and your nails dig into the skin on his arm.
βsame reason i wouldnβt tell you i hadnβt kissed anyoneβ you say, eyes nearly rolling back into your head before you shut them tight. he kisses the corner of your mouth and you open your eyes to look into his.
βthereβs no reason to be embarrassedβ he speaks softly. youβre expecting him to explain more, give you a reason not to be ashamed but he stays silent as he looks into your eyes, like heβs waiting for you to tell him why.
βi, just.. i donβt know what to doβ you say shyly, looking at your hand to avoid his gaze. even though youβre not looking at his face, you can see the smirk grow on his face. he kisses the cheek thatβs facing him and leans into your ear.
βyou donβt have to worry about that, sweetheartβ he whispers, kissing right below your ear, on the mark he made thatβs still there but fading by the minute. βi can tell you what to doβ
he said it reassuringly, and you finally turn your head to look him in the eyes again. theyβre dark, full of desire and your breath wavers.
βbut you gotta be good for me, okay?β
your breath catches in your throat, and you have no words to say so you simply nod.
he tilts his head, and you hadnβt even realized that heβd let up on your clit until he started moving his thumb against you again. your body jerks, and you whine loudly from the sensitivity.
βyou gotta say it, sweetheart, tell me youβll be good for meβ
βiβll be good, rich, i promise!β
he hums in approval.
βthatβs it, good girl.β he kisses your jaw. βjust gotta use your wordsβ
βi want you to fuck meβ you say bluntly, the clearest words youβve spoken since the second he touched you. βfuck me, richie, pleaseβ
βlook at youβ he grins. βcatching on so quicklyβ
he pulls his pj bottoms down to his thighs and spreads your legs wider, one hand on your thigh as the other aids in lining him up to your entrance. his tip catches your clit while he runs himself through your arousal and you gasp, hips jumping. he looks into your eyes again, looking between them as he tries to look for any sign that you changed your mind at all, but you put your hand on his cheek and pull him down to press your lips against his.
βpleaseβ
βtell me how bad you want itβ he says, biting his lip.
βi want it so bad rich. wanted you for so long, pleaseβ
he hums softly, lining up fully and starting to push into you slowly. just the tip at first, and he watches you as your breath wavers.
βgoodβ he whispers. βsee what you get when you use your words?β
he pushes in a little more and you gasp, clenching around him so tight he can barely move. you let out a whimper, digging your nails into his skin harder as you pull him closer to you.
βare you okay?β he asks.
a tear slips from the corner of your eye and falls down your temple as you continue to whine.
βhurtsβ
βi knowβ he says sweetly, understanding as he pulls himself from you. you huff in annoyance, trying to pull him back.
βno!β you protest. βi want youβ
βi know, babyβ he hushes you, grunting as he lines himself back up. βbut you gotta relax for me. the more tense you are the more itβs gonna hurtβ
βokayβ you reply softly, spreading your legs wider for him.
βjust breatheβ he pushes in again, even slower than the first time. βiβve got you, just relaxβ
you clench around him again, but you listen to him and try to slow your breathing, taking full and deep breaths. another tear falls down your face and he kisses it away before leaving another kiss on your cheekbone.
βoh, fuckβ he groans. βjust like that, babyβ
you keen at the praise and he moves his hands down to your thighs, wrapping your legs around him. he pulls out slowly before pushing back in, a bit deeper this time, repeating the motions until he bottoms out fully. you let out a moan so loud that you donβt recognize it as your own, and youβre almost embarrassed thinking about how many people can probably hear you, but he pulls out all the way before pushing back in and you canβt think about anything other than him.
heβs all over you; his touch, his smell, his voice in your ear, heβs surrounding you completely and your head is spinning.
βso good, babyβ he grunts. βtaking me so wellβ
you wrap your arms fully around his neck, pulling him flush against you as your body trembles.
βrichβ
despite the fact that you have nothing to compare it to, he feels so big inside of you. but even though he has you wrapped around him, literally and metaphorically, you refuse to admit that to him. heβs still the same richie, with the same ego.
βare you okay?β he asks again, and you nod without a word. he cuts you off before you can correct yourself. βtell me how it feelsβ
βfeels so good, richβ you say. βso fullβ
he hums in approval, pulling out and pushing in again, setting a slow pace, so slow that you can feel every inch of him.
βiβve wanted you for so longβ he tells you, picking up his pace a bit. βso fucking long, y/n, you have no idea. tried to distract myself but nobody makes me feel the way you doβ
the words ran through your head for barely a moment and you didnβt even mean to say them out loud, but they slipped from your mouth before you could stop yourself.
βnot even beverly?β
he stills inside you completely and you want to slap yourself. why would you say that?
the cheshire grin that grows on his face as he looks at you makes you regret opening your mouth.
bev and him hadnβt even been hooking up for that long, and it was nothing serious, you knew that. heβd let the secret slip by accident after a few glasses of his moms wine one night during family dinner, when the two of you were playing chess in his basement. he said it just made sense; theyβre both single with the same sex drive, and neither of them wanted a relationship with the other. you believed him when he said that, but she was so pretty you figured there was no way he didnβt want her. they get along so well.
βaw, sweetheartβ he finally speaks up, trying to get you to look at him but your eyes are shut to avoid eye contact. βis that it? youβre jealous?β
βiβm not jealousβ you try to argue. βi just.. you told me you guys hook up. and sheβs so beautiful, thereβs no way you donβt see her like you see meβ
he brushes all of the hair away from your face and you finally open your eyes. heβs still got that stupid fucking grin.
βbev wasnβt my first kissβ he says softly, and your jaw goes slack.
βwhat are you talking about? neither was i, you said-β
βi know what i said, but i liedβ he cuts you off. βi told everyone i kissed some girl at summer camp but i lied. i was embarrased because we were going into high school and i still hadnβt kissed anyoneβ
youβre looking between his eyes, trying to gage if heβs lying.
βbut..β
βi was a loser, y/n. nobody even looked at me twice before you kissed me that day. i didnβt just take you to the clubhouse that one time because i felt bad and wanted to cheer you up. i knew how you felt, i just..β heβs chewing on his lip, one of his anxious tics. βi wanted to be there for you because i knew how you felt. i figured by the time we got to high school everyone would be all over you, i mean, iβm not the only one that thinks youβre hotβ
βoh, pleaseβ you laugh but he doesnβt laugh with you, he says your name again and sighs.
βiβm seriousβ his lip trembles slightly, as if heβs hesitant on saying what heβs thinking. βy/n, iβve been in love with you since we were kids. sandbox age at leastβ
that shut you up. you stumble over a response, unable to get anything out except a soft βwhat?β
βisnβt it obvious?β
youβre about to scoff, snap of course not, but when you really think about it, heβs not wrong.
all the flirting, the teasing, always trying to spend time with you. even your mom, constantly trying to set you two up and swooning whenever richie even looks at you. it is obvious, and this whole time everyone wasnβt just trying to set you up for them. everyone could see it but you, and they were trying to open your eyes.
even beverly
βiβm so stupidβ
βno, i shouldβve just told youβ he says softly. rubbing his thumb against your bare waist. βbut i will admit, it was nice to see you get so jealousβ
βi told you, i wasnβt jealousβ you deny again, but when he starts thrusting inside you again, you gasp and close your eyes, and you know heβs about to get it out of you.
βcmon, sweetheart, donβt lie to meβ he squeezes your waist again and starts moving his hips faster. βyou may be naive but iβm notβ
you wanna quip back but heβs moving even faster and you canβt form a full sentence in your head let alone speak.
βgot you all wound up, you were so tenseβ he continues. heβs fully fucking you now, pounding you into the mattress as you whimper and whine and writhe beneath him.
βitβs okay to admit it baby.. that you want me all to yourselfβ
you squeal in surprise when he pulls out of you and flips you onto your stomach, pulling you up by your waist until your knees are bent with your ass in the air, pushing back into you without a warning. it knocks all the air out of you and you cry out, using the pillow under your head to muffle the sound, biting on the fabric.
βiβll say it first if you wantβ he says into your ear as he leans over you, chest against your back as he holds still for a moment. heβs letting you adjust. βnow that iβve got you, i donβt want anyone else to have youβ
he starts fucking you again, his hands on your waist for leverage. he wraps an arm around you and pulls you up against him, lips brushing against the shell of your ear.
βall mineβ
he loosens his grip and letβs you fall forward, gathering the sheets into your fists and trying desperately to hold on as he drills you without holding back.
βgod, yes richie, want you so bad want you all to myselfβ you babble, nearly incoherent and on the verge of another orgasm. youβre drooling onto the sheets below you. βdonβt want anyone else to have you, rich, i want you all to myself you make me feel so goodβ
βyeah, baby, thatβs it.β the arm he has still wrapped around you pushes between your legs and returns to your clit, causing you to let out another cry into the pillow. βyouβre all mine, sweetheart. god, itβs like your pussy was made for meβ
βrichie youβre gonna make me cum againβ
βgoodβ he grunts, rubbing faster circles on your clit. βdo it. i want you to cum for me again,β
βoh, itβs so muchβ you cry, overwhelmed and sniffling a bit as he pushes you closer and closer to the edge.
βi know, baby, im almost thereβ he reassures you, pulling you up on your knees a bit more and pressing a kiss to your shoulder. βcum for me one more time, i know you can do itβ
he pushes your hair over one shoulder, leaning down and burying his face in the crook of your neck.
βcmon, sweetheart, i know youβve got it in youβ he mumbles into your skin, and you clench around him as your legs start shaking. youβre right on the edge.
βone moreβ
you swear you nearly blackout, nearly screaming into the pillow as he pushes you over the edge, stilling inside you but making sure to push himself as deep as he can. it feels like youβre cumming for ages, your body shaking in his hold as you clench around him so tight it pushes him over the edge as well. heβs moaning in your ear as he reaches his own orgasm, but itβs only an echo in your head as the fog in your brain clears and your body goes limp on the bed. youβre panting, nearly hyperventilating as you try to catch your breath, blinking repeatedly to try and come back to yourself.
his voice saying your name is what fully brings you back though, and you realize heβs pulled out and laid down beside you, his face inches from yours.
βare you okay?β
itβs the third time heβs asked you that now, and you smile as he plays with your hair.
βmore than okayβ
βitβs only 9, you donβt need to be home for another 2 hoursβ he says, running his thumb across your jaw before moving back to your hair.
βif youβre thinking iβll be able to go again anytime soon, youβre delusional-β
βnoβ he laughs. βi was gonna say we should order room service and watch miami viceβ
you shut your mouth, grinning as you nod.
βi couldnβt think of any better way to end the nightβ
okay so i have the very last part(s) of ALS prewritten, have been written for a while now and i just wanted to say that before the new season starts, itβs not going to be based off of it! i donβt even have cable so i canβt watch it lol iβll just wait for netflix i guess. nonetheless, im excited !!!!

Betty tried recalling but she couldn't. Or at least she wanted them to believe she didn't.
"Know what? I didn't do that." Betty said walking off to her locker.
Alex and Veronica followed.
"Yeah, girl. You did." Veronica argued. "You called yourself Polly. It was like Dr. Jekyll Mistress Hyde."
Alex rolled her eyes.
"It did feel like you became another person, Betty." Alex agreed with Veronica.
She tried ignoring both of them but she couldn't because they were still following her.
Betty paused and sighed.
"Okay, i mean.. I remember saying Chuck should apologize for Polly," Betty admitted. "but not because i thought he was Jason."
"Why then?" Veronica asked.
"Because I'm sick of guys like Chuck and Jason doing horrible things to girls like me, you, and Polly. Okay?" Betty snapped.
Alex agreed. Chuck got what he deserved.
Then Betty walked off.
Veronica turned to Alex.
"What happened with you then?" Veronica moved onto Alex.
"Nothing.. I just, I agree with what Betty said. He deserved it and at least now he won't bother us." Alex shrugged and walked away to class as well.
During the middle of the day, the girls got called to the principal's office.
They got scolded by Principal Weatherbee. Veronica's mom was the only parent that came in.
The girls tried to look ashamed, the best that they could but the truth is, they weren't. not one bit.
Weatherbee dismissed them. Everyone heard about what happened.
Coach Clayton, was forced to kick Chuck and his posse off the football team to save his job and the the school's reputation. They all got suspended.
Everyone saw them walking down the hall and out the door.
There were groups of girls taking videos and pictures of them walking. They were glaring while the girls glared back.
Victory was theirs.
"Thanks, guys." Ethel thanked the girls that got justice for not only her but other girls too.
They smiled at her.
"Thank you, Ethel, for going on record." Betty said with a smile. "It made all of the difference with Weatherbee."
"You're the bravest of them all, Ethel Muggs." Veronica then said.
Alex rolled her eyes.
"#JusticeForEthel." Cheryl sarcastically said.
Alex snickered.
They all looked at each other and smiled.
Betty and Alex ended up outside with the book. Alex wanted to see it for herself before she burned it.
Her name was nowhere to be found. And she didn't care. She let go of Chuck and what little she had with him.
Betty threw in the trash and poured lighter fluid over it.
Alex cocked up an eyebrow and smirked.
Cheryl walked up with a frown.
She sparked up a flame in her little Zippo lighter and threw it in the bin.
They all watched the book burn.
"Whoever killed Jason hurt him." Cheryl began. "Maybe Jason hurt people, too."I'll say.
"If he hurt Polly, i'm sorry." Cheryl apologized as her voice broke.
Alex zoned out into the fire. She watched the flames twitch and move from side to side.
If only they knew.
Betty sighed. "Let's go back to the office, Alex."
Alex nodded and followed Betty as she walked off.
"Oh, shit, i forgot. I can't stay for the extra hour today. I'm still grounded. Can you let Jughead know? i'm suppose to go home after cheer practice." Alex said with a groan.
It was the night of the Taste of Riverdale. Also, the night where the girls get revenge on Chuck.
Alex snuck out when her dad left. Archie did too but she didn't really care. She was determined.
She got into her sexiest two piece bathing suit and wore it under her clothes.
She got to Ethel's house.
Veronica opened the door for her.
"Is he here yet?" Alex asked, taking all of her clothes off to leave herself in only her bikini.
"Uh, no, but damn, Alex. You have a nice bod."
Alex chuckled.
She is definitely not straight.
Then they heard someone knock.
"Shit. Where's Betty?" Alex asked, looking around the lot.
"She's inside getting ready. I'll get the door, get yourself wet in the hot tub!" Veronica said in a hushed voice.
Alex thought about what she said for a second but then did what she asked.
Veronica opened the door and there he was.
Alex was nervous but tried to play it cool anyway.
Veronica led him inside.
"Nice." He complimented, looking around.
"Isn't it? It gets very, very hot." Veronica said, her voice filled with sultry.
Alex had to try to hold back her laughs.
She got up to greet him.
"Alex?" his eyes widened.
She smirked. "hmm?"
"We've alreadβ"
"Let's not talk about irrelevant things now." she cut him off as she caressed his chest, walking away, making sure he was checking her out.
She gets back into the hot tub. Veronica drops her towel and invites Chuck to get in.
"Let's get wet." She said, looking over her shoulder.
Alex bit her lip in order to stop herself from laughing.
"Uh, should we wait for Betty to get here first?" He suggested.
They heard a door open and all of their eyes went to Betty.
Veronica and Alex widened their eyes when they saw her in a black wig and a skimpy outfit.
Alex had to admit, she looked hot.
She smirked while Veronica looked concerned.
"Betty couldn't make it." Betty finally spoke. "So she sent me instead."
Chuck looked stunned. Boy, was he in for the ride of his life.
They finally got Chuck into the hot tub.
Alex got up to check why her phone kept vibrating. She had 2 missed calls and 3 messages from Jughead. She ignored them.
She went to Betty and Veronica who were serving drinks.
Veronica had an incoming call from her mom, which she ignored.
Betty decided to spike Chuck's drink.
"i like where this is going." Alex whispered as she smirked.
"What is that?" Veronica asked.
"Muscle relaxer." Betty simply responded. "Mix it with booze and it lowers your inhibitions. Hello, truth serum."
Alex laughed.
Veronica looked spooked, which made Alex rolled her eyes.
"Maybe we should slow it down a little?" Veronica suggested.
"Hell no." Alex quickly responded.
"It's fine. Right, Chuck?" Betty called out to him.
He was relaxing in the hot tub.
"You don't want to slow down, do you?" Betty asked approaching him.
"Oh, i'm 2 Fast 2 Furious, baby." Chuck assured her.
"Good." Betty held up the drink. "Good boy, Chuck."
She walked closer to him. "Drink up."
And so he did.
It wasn't too long until he passed out.
Veronica noticed.
"Hurry, let's handcuff him before he wakes up." Veronica said, getting the handcuffs.
She passed them to Alex. She was more than happy to handcuff him.
Her adrenaline was making her less anxious by the minute.
Veronica put a record into the record player and pressed play.
"I'll get the remote for the hot tub." Betty went to go fetch it.
They waited for a few minutes. Chuck began to stir. Veronica got her phone ready.
He saw that he was handcuffed and tried to break free. He also noticed that the hot tub was degrees hotter.
"Start recording." Betty instructed her.
Veronica clicked record.
Alex hovered over him as did Betty.
"Hey, guys," Chuck began with his eyes barely open. "It's really hot in here."
Alex smirked.
"And getting hotter by the minute." Betty responded while she turned it up.
"Time to squeal, pig." Betty announced. "Tell the truth about what happened between you and Veronica."
Alex glared at him with her arms crossed.
"We had a good time. She had a good time." Chuck slurred.
He was still hazy, it seemed.
"The truth, Chuck, or so help me, i will boil you alive." Betty threatened.
"What?" Chuck asked, confused. "We made out."
"And then?" Betty said, pushing him to continue.
"And then i took her home!" Chuck raised his voice. "And i didn't give her a sticky maple."
Alex walked over to his jeans and pulled out his belt.
She walked over to Veronica to see how the video was turning it. It was hysterical.
"That is all you had to say, you ass." Veronica snarled. "And now, everyone will know." She said posting the video.
Alex walked over with his belt and quickly wrapped it around his neck, making sure the non buckled end was pulled through the buckled opening. She pulled it, making him struggle to breathe.
Betty smirked while Veronica's eyes widened.
Betty put her right foot on top of Chuck's head to push him down into the water, semi drowning him.
"You like shaming people, Chuck?" Betty taunted.
Both Alex and Betty were fighting over who got to make less oxygen go to his lungs. Alex was pulled the belt while Betty kept pushing his head down.
Chuck was struggling was to breathe.
"You like dehumanizing them?" Betty continued. "Prissy prude by day, freak in the sheets by night?"
"No!" Chuck wheezed.
"Apologize." Betty demanded.
"You guys, calm down." Veronica suggested.
They ignored her. They were getting more aggressive by the minute.
"Say you're sorry!" Betty shouted.
Alex loosened the belt. Chuck gasped for air.
"OkayβOkay! I'm sorry!" Chuck apologized. "I'm sorry for all of it!"
Alex pulled the belt, making Chuck lose some oxygen again.
"What's my name? Hm? What's my fucking name?" Alex snarled harshly into his ear.
Betty tilted her head.
"Al-Alex.." Chuck wheezed.
Alex laughed.
"Good job, pig." Betty praised him.
Alex unwrapped the belt aggressively, leaving a mark around his neck.
She smirked and tilted her head to the side.
"Now, time for your reward." Betty said, opening a fresh bottle of maple syrup.
Alex stood up, knowing what her next move was.
Veronica's jaw dropped.
"A Sticky Maple of your own!" Betty taunted.
Alex laughed.
"Wait, Wh-what?" Chuck said, looking up to her.
"Apologize for ruining Polly!" Betty threatened to spill the bottle.
When he wouldn't, she proceeded to put it all over him.
"What the hell?! Oh, my god!" Chuck gasped.
"Do it, Jason!" Betty continued.
Alex stopped laughing as soon as Betty referred to Chuck as Jason.
"Say you're sorry for destroying me. Apologize for what you did to me!" Betty shouted.
"Look, i'm not Jason!" Chuck shouted back.
Betty continued to pour the syrup.
"I'm not Jason!" Chuck kept shouting.
Alex grew concerned. Veronica and Alex shared a look.
"Betty.." Alex said with her tone full of question.
"Betty! That is enough! Stop, it's over!" Veronica stopped her.
Betty snapped out of it.
"We did it. You did it!" Veronica continued.
Betty looked around, asking herself what she had just done.
"You guys are crazy!" Chuck screamed. "Oh, my god, You're crazy as hell!"
Betty realized she lost herself for a moment.
"Betty?" Alex carefully asked for her attention.
She sighed heavily. "I'm fine."
She moved a strand of her wig out of her face. "We're done here."
Veronica unhand cuffed him. Chuck quickly got up, grabbed his clothes and ran off.
"Go to hell, crazy bitches." Was the last thing he shouted before slamming the door.
The three of them were in shock.
Alex knew she would get questioning looks from them
when she basically strangled Chuck, but what Betty did was way more questioning.
They could tell Betty was still trying to get herself together.
Ethel came out. She noticed Betty was different.
"Did everything go okay?.." Ethel asked carefully.
Alex nodded slowly.
Veronica looked at all of them. "Not a word of this. Alright? To anyone."
Everyone nodded.
They all got dressed again and headed out. None of them talked about it again that night.
Luckily, Alex got home and her dad wasn't there yet. Archie was. He was in the living room watching the sports channel.
"Hey." Alex whispered.
Archie glanced at her. "Where were you?"
Alex shrugged. "With Betty and Veronica."
Archie's brows furrowed. "But where?"
"We were at Veronica's. Just having girl time, Archie." Alex lied.
Archie hummed.
"It's been such a long day. i'm gonna go lie down." She headed upstairs.
Archie nodded.
Alex stopped in her tracks. She climbed down.
"Oh, hey, i forgot to ask, did you see them perform your song?" Alex asked.
Archie sighed with happiness and nodded. "It was amazing. Jughead liked it."
oh, shit. i have to see what he wanted.
She nodded. "That's amazing, Arch. I'm sorry i didn't get to go hear it."
Archie gave an understanding nod. "it's cool. i have a feeling this won't be the last song i help out with."
She smiled. then she headed upstairs.
She called Jughead.
Hello?
"Hey, you called?"
Yeah, i got through to Doiley.
She squealed. "That's so exciting! I'm sorry i wasn't there. I was busy today."
Eventually, they both got tired and said goodnight to each other.
Archie assured her that he would be there for her whenever she needed him. She said the same.
She went back into her room to get ready for bed. The only secret that she was keeping now was Chuck. And that's one that she'll for sure take to her grave. That's if he doesn't spill.
It was the next day. School was school. Alex was with Betty and Kevin as usual.
They were all at Veronica's locker. Last night, Alex told herself she would have to get herself together. If Veronica was going to date Chuck, she was going to have to accept that and not say anything. She made herself get used to the idea of her talking about him.
And so she did. Kevin asked her about their date.
When she talked about him, Alex tuned her out. As usual.
Suddenly, Ginger and Tina walked by.
"Hey, Veronica. How was the Sticky Maple you had last night?" Ginger faked her interest.
They were all confused.
"The what now?" Veronica asked, thinking she didn't hear her correctly.
"The Sticky Maple Chuck gave you?" Tina responded. "How was it?"
"We had a brownie sundae, if that's what you hyenas mean." Veronica said, completely oblivious.
Alex scoffed. Everyone but her knew what a Sticky Maple was. How didn't Veronica know by now?
All of a sudden, Kevin got a text.
"Oh, my god." Was all he said while he looked at his phone.
Alex and Betty peeked over his shoulder and their jaws dropped.
"What?" Veronica said, snatching his phone to see what everyone was talking about.
Alex was confused.
She was relieved that Chuck didn't betray her like he did to Veronica, but she couldn't figure out why he didn't do something like that to her.
"What the hell is a Sticky Maple?" Veronica asked, mortified.
"It's a faciβ" Alex began.
"It's kind of what it sounds like." He interrupted Alex, so she wouldn't continue with her response. She glared at him.
"It's a Riverdale thing." Kevin continued.
"No, Kevin, It's a slut-shaming thing." Veronica correct him.
She went on to talk about how she wasn't a slut or how she wasn't going to be shamed by someone named Chuck Clayton.
Veronica kept ranting. Alex still couldn't believe what he had done. He was different to her. He was nice. He never did anything like this to her. Except sleep with her a couple of times and forgot she existed.
Betty tried to get her to calm down by telling her they can go to the Principal or that she and Alex can expose him in the Blue and Gold.
Veronica went on to call Betty a good girl who always follows the rules. Apparently, she doesn't follow rules, she makes them. She angrily walked off, aggressively handing Kevin his phone back, causing him to fall back into the lockers.
Betty followed.
"Are you okay?" Alex asked Kevin.
"Yeah." He shook it off.
Alex had seen Chuck's true colors that morning and was ready to finally get revenge.
At lunch time, Jughead and Alex met at the Blue and Gold office. They went to Dilton to find out some stuff for Betty.
They went to some field they were in, doing their training.
"And in that moment of hesitation, you're dead. All of you are dead."
They walked into Dilton Doiley giving a speech to his scouts.
"At ease, Doily." Jughead interrupted.
You can tell Dilton was caught off guard.
Alex snickered to which Jughead responded with a smirk but made it go away as soon as it came.
"We're writing an article for the Blue and Gold. Hoping you can help." Jughead got straight to the point.
"Dismissed." Dilton raised his voice. "But stay close." He quickly added.
"Cheryl, Archie, and this little minx," He looked at Alex. She grinned.
"say they heard a gunshot the morning of July 4th, " He continued. "but they don't know who fired."
"Sheriff Keller already asked me about this." Dilton quickly responded. "And like i told him, my Scouts and I, we didn't hear anything weird."
"I call bullshit." Alex interjected. Dilton glared at her.
"Well, did you see anything weird?" Jughead asked as he got closer to Dilton.
Dilton starting naming unusual things you'd see in the woods. Including Cheryl.
"Smartass." Alex snarled.
Dilton hummed.
Jughead noticed one of the Scouts looking at him. His brows furrowed.
"Look, we don't have a lot of time." His attention went back to Dilton. "But if you change your mind, let me know." Jughead grinned.
He walked away, taking Alex with him.
"What? We're just gonna let him off that easy?" She whispered as they walked away.
"No, we'll get him later." Jughead assured her.
She smirked.
"I'll text you when I can get one of his Scouts alone." Jughead said.
"Okay, but i can't be out later than 7. I'm sort of grounded..." She shamefully said.
Jughead snorted. "I'm sure you'll figure it out."
She rolled her eyes.
They got back to school and went on for the rest of the day.
She was with Archie, helping him write again.
"I asked Cheryl to talk to Josie for me." He said as he wrote down the tabs.
Her face twisted. "i had no idea you still wanted her to sing your songs."
"I do. I mostly just want to get them out there, in the open." He admitted.
Alex nodded.
Josie cleared her throat, trying not to interrupt.
Their attention went to her.
"Hey, Josie." Archie greeted. Alex waved with a small smile.
"I love my girl Cheryl, so i am doing her this solid." Josie said with a stern tone. "She said that you needed help with your music since Ms. Grundy bailed on you."
Alex's face scrunched up. "What? She did?" She asked Archie.
He ignored her and nodded at what Josie was saying.
Alex rolled her eyes.
"The Pussycats are playing my mom's event, The Taste of Riverdale, and we are rehearsing every night this week." Josie explained. "Come. Observe. Learn."
She walked off.
"We're grounded, remember?" Alex whispered.
"Shitβ" He began.
"This week i'm, uh, i'm grounded." Archie called out.
Josie glared at him.
"Yeah, okay, not your problem. I'll make it work." Archie got the hint.
Alex nudged him.
"Okay." Josie said as she continued to walks
"Thank you." He called out one last time before she left.
She glanced at him and went out the door.
He chuckled.
"Uh, what are you going to say to dad?" Alex asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Well, you'll cover for me, right?" Archie asked, hopeful.
"What the hell, Arch? That's what got us in trouble in the first place!" Alex said, agitated.
"I know, i'm sorry, but please. i'm begging you." He pleaded. "You know how important this is to me. Dad's never gonna understand."
She sighed. "Fine."
He smiled wide. "Thanks, Alex."
She got a text from Betty, asking Alex to meet her at the office.
"yeah, yeah." she waved him off. "I gotta go. Duty calls. You cool?" She asked.
Archie nodded. "See you later."
She waved and left.
When she walked into the office, she saw Betty with a group of girls.
Betty got up as soon as she saw Alex.
"Hey, Veronica and i might need your help with something." She whispered so that the other girls didn't hear.
Alex was confused but nodded. "What is it?"
"We'll talk about that later. I have to call Veronica." Betty smiled. She walked off, leaving Alex with the girls.
She gave them an awkward small wave.
She was confused.
Betty came back moments later. "Alright, she's on her way."
"Uh, Betty, a word?" Alex smiled.
Betty nodded. She pulled her to the side.
"Um, what's this?" Alex finally asked.
"Oh, these are victims of sexual harassment." She casually said.
Alex widened her eyes. "What?!"
"Yeah.." She nodded. "It's sad, honestly. But that's why we need your help."
Alex remained confused. She shrugged it off.
She sat down next to Betty while they waited for Veronica.
Veronica walked in and was taken back by the group of girls.
"This story is bigger than we thought." Betty sadly said. "I started asking around, to see if what happened to you happened to anyone else, and if anyone would go on record." Betty elaborated.
Alex felt anxious when she figured out what she was talking about.
"I will. 100%." A girl volunteered.
"Okay." Betty said for her to proceed.
Alex felt angry. like she did with Jason. like she did with her mom. she zoned out but at the same time she was listening to Betty and the girl.
"It's five guys on the football team. Chuck and his posse."
Alex's face scrunched up.
"Ethel was just about to tell us.." Betty trailed off, giving the floor to Ethel.
"One day last year, Chuck and i talked in the library for 10 minutes. I helped him with a Pre-Cal problem, and nothing happened."
the girls nodded.
"But the next day, he.." Ethel continued. "He started telling people that i let him do stuff to me."
Alex's face softened. She felt bad for Ethel. She regrets everything she did with Chuck. She felt stupid.
"Like, sex stuff." Ethel's voice broke a little.
Veronica nodded.
"And then he or one of his goons, wrote, 'Sloppy Seconds' on my locker."
Alex could feel her heart shattering into a million pieces. Not because of Chuck, but because she genuinely felt bad for Ethel.
Cheryl suddenly showed up at the door way.
"Yes, yes, we've all heard your tragic origin story." She interrupted.
"I'm so, so sorry, Ethel. That's horrible." Betty held her shoulder to comfort her.
Alex wanted to say something but she couldn't speak.
"Not as horrible as being a suspect in your own brother's torture-murder case, but we all have our crosses." Cheryl interjected.
Alex scoffed. She was about to go off on her to say that not everything was about her but she remembered that her brother, Jason, is dead and she had to let it slide.
"In the meantime, River Vixen practice starts in five minutes, sluts, so..." Cheryl trailed off.
"They're ruining our lives, and to them it's just a game." Ethel continued with her voice breaking. "They keep score andβ"
"Wait, what do you mean, keep score?" Alex finally asked with her brows furrowed.
"Each conquests earns them points. They keep track in some secret play book."
Alex scoffed. Chuck just got with her to gain points in that stupid book.
Betty suggested talking to Weatherbee again but Ethel mentions that she already tried. He needed proof. They needed proof.
Cheryl couldn't take it anymore. "Proof of what, Nancy Drew? That boys will be boys? And that playbook reeks of suburban legend."
"How would you know, Cheryl?" Veronica asked.
"Because, Frida Shallow, before he died, my brother was co-captain of the football team with Chuck, and Jason never mentioned it, and he never would've allowed it."
Alex scoffed for what seemed like the hundredth time.
Cheryl claims to know her brother better than anyone else but she was very wrong.
Veronica started ranting and Alex tuned her out. She was too deep into her thoughts. She didn't want to believe that Chuck did all of this for a stupid book.
She put her hand through her hair, stressed.
"We've got to find that book." Veronica desperately said.
"I already tried, it's hidden really well." Ethel responded.
"Well then it looks like we're going hunting tonight." Veronica said with a smirk.
a/n: didnt fit in one post so i had to separate it. will probably do it again with other chapters.
"No, nothing like that.. if i tell you, will you swear you won't tell anyone? Like anyone at all? And you won't ask questions until i'm ready to talk?"
yes, of course. On my mother's pearls. What's wrong?
Alex heavily sighed. "I need a plan b pill."
She heard Veronica lightly gasp on the other line.
<i>o-okay, ill get it for you as soon as I can and we can talk later.</I>
She hung up. She had tears streaming down her face and she didn't even realize. She was scared that if she waited any longer, she would end up pregnant.
Moments later, Veronica texted her to tell her she was outside.
She rushed to get there, getting a questioning look from her dad, who was in the living room.
She walked outside, where she saw Veronica waiting with a paper brown bag in her hands, with her face filled with nothing but concern.
"Thank you." A wave of relief ran through Alex's body when Veronica handed the bag to her.
Veronica nodded. She was debating whether she should ask or not.
Alex took the box out and shoved it down her shorts. She covered the very noticeable box print with her shirt the best she could. She crumbled the bag, and threw it across the lawn.
"You can't tell Archie." Alex whispered.
Veronica nodded once again.
"What happened?" She finally asked.
Alex rolled her eyes. "The obvious."
"But why didn't youβ"
"Not here, Veronica." Alex cut her off. "My dad and Archie are inside."
"Does this mean we're friends again?" Veronica gave a small smile.
Alex smiled back. "I guess."
Veronica squealed and hugged Alex. She returned her hug.
"Just don't go breaking Betty's heart. She's had too much of that from stupid Archie." Alex rolled her eyes.
Veronica nodded. "I won't, I promise."
"Okay, well thank you, once again." Alex said with a kind smile.
"For sure, and hey, if you need a 'test,' you know who to call." She joked.
Alex laughed. "Just go."
And she left.
Alex raced back upstairs to take the pill. She took it as instructed.
She let out another sigh of relief, possibly the last one of the night.
She started undressing herself to get into her pajamas. She noticed her waist was bruised. She took a better look in the mirror.
Yep. Bruised.
She huffed. She decided not to think too much about it and continue getting ready for bed.
School was boring the next day. She was sad that Chuck didn't even acknowledge her.
Her heart dropped when she saw Veronica exceptionally close to him in the student's lounge.
She didn't say anything about it and sat on the counter next to Jughead. She began blasting music through her ears, not listening to what any of them said.
Although, it didn't matter how loud she put the volume up, she can still hear Reggie trying to play detective.
She rolled her eyes.
"It's called necrophilia, Reggie. Can you spell it?" Jughead snapped back.
Alex tried holding back a laugh but failed terribly.
She stopped laughing when Reggie launched himself at Jughead. Archie stopped him.
"Hey, shut the hell up, Reggie." He pushed him.
Alex jumped off the counter.
"Archie.." she scolded.
"What do you care, Andrews?" Reggie asked, sparking up some more tension between the two.
"Nothing, just leave him alone." Archie simply stated.
"Holy crap." Reggie said, in a surprised tone. "Did you and Donnie Darko kill him together? Was it some sort of pervy, blood brother thing?"
He got closer to Archie's face.
Alex tried getting in between them so it wouldn't get physical but Jughead held her back.
Then Archie pushed Reggie again.
"Archie, stop it." Alex demanded.
Reggie paused for a second before he launched himself completely at Archie. He pushed him into the vending machine, causing them to break the glass.
Jughead didn't bother to hold Alex anymore since he tried getting Reggie of off him. Moose got up and grabbed Jughead.
Alex was going to step in as well, but Betty was on her feet by then and she insisted on holding her back.
They fell on to the floor where Reggie punched the living daylights out of him.
It was the night of the Pep Rally. The first game the cheerleading got to cheer for. She promised herself she would be the loudest for Archie.
Even though he's been acting weird lately, she wanted to let him know she was there for him without telling him directly.
She jumped up and down with her pom poms, despite her still being sore from the night before.
She saw Jughead by the bleachers and approached him.
"You alright?" She called out as she ran up to him.
"Never been better." He sarcastically responded.
"I saw how Moose grabbed you. I was just checking in." She shrugged.
"Thanks." He blandly said.
She nodded.
"Nice outfit." He chuckled.
"Shut up." She laughed.
She saw Archie approaching them from the corner of her eye.
"Can you give us a minute?" Archie asked Alex.
She blinked. "Uh, yeah, I'm gonna go back to the field. Enjoy the game." She smiled at Jughead.
He tried his best to smile back.
She ran back to the cheerleaders. They continued to jump up and down, and cheer.
It physically hurt Alex for her to be this perky.
In the back of her mind, she had hoped Jughead and Archie would make up.
It started drizzling. She groaned. She hated rain.
She shook it off and continued being peppy. She couldn't get yelled at by Cheryl in front of anyone.
It was time for the cheerleaders to get in formation. The principal introduced the mayor.
She went on to talk about how lacking the heart of school spirit wasn't the Riverdale way.
She continued with her small speech, that Alex had already began tuning out.
Cheryl looked out of it. Alex could tell she was trying to keep herself together.
Mayor McCoy eventually introduced the cheerleaders and her daughter's band, Josie and the Pussycats.
Everyone cheered.
They started performing. Everything was going smoothly.
The song ended and so did the performance.
Everyone cheered again.
The cheering continued when the coach introduced the football players.
Alex heard and cheered as loud as she could.
Archie smiled at her.
Cheryl saw Archie and couldn't help but lose it. She ran off inside the school, leaving everyone wondering what had happened.
Veronica followed her.
"What happened?" Alex asked Betty.
She shrugged. "Lets go find out."
Betty ran, leading Alex to the building.
They walked into the girls locker room where they saw Cheryl sobbing.
They both felt bad.
"I'm alone." Cheryl continued to sob.
"You're not alone. It's okay." Veronica tried to comfort her.
Alex shed a tear. She saw Cheryl's real pain that night. She couldn't imagine losing her own brother. Looking at Cheryl made her realize that she would die if Archie was gone like Jason.
Cheryl went in to hug Veronica and sob into her shoulder.
Betty zoned out.
Eventually, Veronica advised Cheryl to go home. She obviously wasn't in the mood for a pep rally. Cheryl ended up taking her advice.
The girls went back to the football field and acted like nothing happened. The game went on and finished.
Betty was looking at Veronica like she missed.
"Go talk to her." Alex nudged her
Betty sighed.
She approached Veronica. Alex followed.
"Hey." She began. "We saw you and Cheryl."
Alex nodded when Veronica looked at her.
"Not many girls would've done what you did." Betty admitted.
"I know I wouldn't have." Alex confessed.
They chuckled.
"Full disclosure. I've had my share of emotional breakdowns." Veronica also confessed.
"If you're not doing anything, do you wanna go get a milkshake at Pop's with Alex and I?" Betty invited her.
"Are you sure?" Veronica laughed.
"Yeah." Betty assured her.
"Guys, I'd love that." She accepted.
They smiled at each other and walked off.
They went to Pop's where as promised, they got some milkshakes.
"Betty.." Veronica began. "Can we make a vow?"
Alex looked at them with curiosity.
"Sure." Betty shrugged.
"That no matter what, no boy will ever come between us again." Veronica continued.
Betty smiled.
"Deal?"
"Deal."
"Thank god for that." Alex sarcastically said. They laughed.
The chimes of the door caught their attention.
It was Archie and Jughead.
They all awkwardly smiled at each other.
"Do you guys want to join us?" Betty offered.
There was a moment of silence.
"Yes." Jughead broke it. "But only if you're treating."
They laughed. Alex slid down the booth so Betty can make room for Archie. Jughead climbed into the other side of Veronica.
Veronica introduced herself to Jughead.
He did the same, where she furrowed her brows and smiled at his name.
They all talked and laughed amongst each other for the rest of the night.
"How about you? Everything okay with you and that new girl?" He asked.
"No. She's a spoiled, bitch who'll whine if she doesn't get what she wants." Alex coldly said.
"Oh, so you hate her because she's just like you?" Jughead teased.
She playfully nudged him and laughed. "Shut up."
When she heard Moose say that Kevin was with him, she turned around to look at him to give him a wink. He nervously smiled in response.
Then she looked back at her table. Their assignment was to dissect a dead frog.
"And what are suppose to learn from doing this?" she asked, disgusted.
"I have no clue, but should be an easy A, smarty pants."
She laughed.
Then the 'living mannequins' interrupted.
"So, if you're here, does that mean you're smarter than Archie?" Ginger asked.
Alex blinked.
"What does it matter?" She shrugged.
They shrugged. "So are you guys like a thing?" Tina joined Ginger on her '21 questions' game.
Alex blushed while Jughead shuffled in his seat awkwardly.
"U-uh, no." Alex shook her head as she chuckled.
The girls smirked.
Their attention then went to Cheryl, who was cutting open a frog a little more aggressive than needed.
They gasped when they saw her stab it and move the scalpel down its body.
That caused Alex and Jughead to glance at Cheryl with their brows furrowed.
The class went on.
Jughead and Alex messed around most of the time but got the assignment done.
It was time for them to go to the rest of their classes. Most of them had the same schedule.
Then it was lunch time. Betty, Kevin, Alex, and Veronica were walking across the football field with their lunches in their arms.
"So, what did Moose want?" Veronica asked, taking the words out of Alex's mouth as she was about to ask the same thing.
"Oh, my god, I don't even think he knows." Kevin admitted.
The girls giggled.
He went on to talk about Moose. Alex was annoyed by the fact at how everyone was forgiving Veronica so quickly.
"Okay, well, I ship it." Veronica chuckled.
"Well, of course, you would. You're a big city girl with loose morals."
Alex snickered. She loved how shady Kevin could be.
Then he continued to talk about Moose.
"...part of me wishes he would just stay in the darn closet." Kevin absentmindedly said.
Alex cringed. Probably shouldn't have said closet, she thought.
It got awkward real fast. Especially when he tried to clarify that he didn't mean a literal closet.
Alex went around the table to sit next to Archie.
"Archie!" Veronica basically shouted.
Alex glared at her.
"Any new material you wanna try out in a very forgiving audience?" She asked.
"Not all of us are forgiving." Alex pointed out with a smirk.
Veronica's face went blank.
"I..." Archie began to protest.
"Please?" Veronica pleaded.
"Would you? I'd love to hear it." Betty said as she put in her best smile.
Alex sighed. She desperately wanted to change the subject.
"Give me the guitar." Alex said as she put her hands out.
"Why?" Archie questioned as he passed it to her.
"I'll play, you sing." She said, strumming the guitar. It threw her off.
"Okay, first of all, this is out of tune."
He chuckled. She tuned it and made Archie proceed with his song.
He grabbed his journal. "I'm still working on the lyrics, so..." he made sure everybody knew.
"Yeah, yeah, get on with it." Alex said, ready to play.
She began strumming the guitar. Archie started to sing.
He barely got through the chorus when Alex noticed that Betty was crying.
Kevin and Veronica clapped when he finished.
"Betty, are you okay?" Alex asked concerned.
Then everyone else looked at her.
She let out a humorless chuckle.
"I'm supposed to say, 'yes.' That's what the nice girl always but.." she said, as her voice broke. She got up. "No, I'm not. I want to be, I thought I could be. But it's too much, too fast."
"Archie.." she sobbed.
"Betty.." Archie sympathetically said.
She walked off.
Alex nudged Archie. "Go after her, idiot."
He put his journal down and did what his sister told him to.
Both Kevin and Alex glared at Veronica. It filled her with guilt.
"Guys, how many times do I have to say I'm sorry?" She desperately asked.
"Until Betty believes you." Alex hissed.
She put Archie's guitar down and stormed off.
She went inside. She wandered down the empty halls. Everyone's lunch period was at this time so no one was really present in the hallways at the moment.
Her mood changed when she walked by Jason's locker. It changed from mild anger to complete sadness. It was surrounded by cards, candles, and flowers. She tried not to let her feel any kind of sympathy for the Blossoms but it was hard to do that now that it's been clarified that he was murdered.
She sighed heavily as she thought about him.
She continued walking towards her locker. She needed her books for her last class.
"You miss me?" She heard a familiar voice say.
She turned around only to see Chuck.
She smiled. "Of course."
He reached in for a kiss, which she returned. He pulled her closer to him by her tiny waist.
He pushed her against the lockers gently.
She grunted when her back hit the cool metal. She smirked while her lips were still intertwined with his.
He pulled back, still keeping her body in place.
"Come to my house later?" He smirked. "My dad'll be working late."
She hesitated to answer. She knew what he wanted and she wasn't sure she was going to give it to him.
It had only been a few weeks but she was crushing on him hard. He told her he felt the same but that they couldn't date because his father wouldn't allow it with it being football season and all. So he convinced her to keep their "fooling around" a secret.
"Um, I'll have to see. I might have homework, so..." she trailed off.
He chuckled. "You can say no if you don't want to."
"No, I do." She nervously chuckled. "I'll go. After cheer practice.β
He smiled. "See you then."
He pecked her on the lips before walking off.
She went back to her locker and closed it.
Weatherbee snuck up behind her.
"Alexandria."
She gasped as she turned around to face him.
"Yes?" She responded.
"Can I talk to you about your brother for a moment?" He asked.
"Uh, sure." She said as her eyebrows furrowed.
"Let's step into my office."
She nodded. He lead the way.
She had just been there this morning, what did he want?
He cleared his throat once they were sitting across each other.
"Has Archibald been acting weird lately?" Weatherbee got right into it.
Alex was taken back by his question. She raised an eyebrow as she tried to recall.
"No, not that I've noticed." She shrugged.
"Hm." He hummed. "Do you think he might know anything about Jason's death?"
Alex hesitated to answer. Every time she asked or talking to him about it, he would get weird and quickly change the subject. She covered for him out of instinct
"Uh, no." Her brows furrowed. "What makes you say that?"
He shrugged. "I'm just trying to figure out the whole situation, is all."
Alex nodded. "I think we all are."
"Agreed. Thank you for your time. You can head to class." His hand gestured towards the door.
She nodded and headed out.
She went to her last class. She couldn't concentrate though. She had too many questions to ask Archie. Was he a suspect?
She spent the whole period thinking about it.
Then it was time for cheer rehearsal. Cheryl seemed very stressed and overwhelmed.
Alex did what Cheryl asked her to in order not to get into a fight with her. Alex helped her choreograph the squad, like agreed.
She thought the whole dance was good, but she felt like something was missing.
"You're right about that, little Andrews." Cheryl said as she observed her squad from a far.
The only reason she obeyed Cheryl's demands was because she would rather do that than to listen to Veronica and Betty argue.
She went on about how the squad was letting her down.
She mentioned that everyone's attention would be in her and that they would be waiting for her to breakdown. She said she wouldn't.
"..I need start power, like Alex here, suggested."
"Well, I didn't realβ" Alex began.
"I need the Pussycats." Cheryl cut her off.
"Stay loose and limber, ladies, while I make a call." She shouted.
Alex went to a corner, that Veronica and Betty happened to be in. She took a sip of her water and began to stretch.
She heard Veronica talk about how psychotic the way Cheryl was grieving was. Betty shaded her by saying she wasn't putting on an act, implying that Veronica was.
"For the record, I only went into that closet with Archie, so that Cheryl wouldn't."
Alex rolled her eyes. She couldn't help but overhear their already sparked up argument. She thought about interjecting but she didn't want to hear any more of Veronica's lies.
"It is not my fault he doesn't like you." Veronica snapped.
"If that's what you were thinking.." she quickly added.
The rest of what she said, Alex sort of agreed. She was still a bitch though.
Their argument got more heated by the minute until Cheryl interrupted them.
Alex kept minding her own business while she stretched.
She overheard Betty inviting Cheryl to get mani pedis and blowouts after school. That was to purposely get under Veronica's skin.
Then they walked off.
Veronica turned to Alex.
"You wanna yell at me too?"
"Do not start with me." Alex warned.
She sighed.
Alex rolled her eyes. "I overheard. I agreed with most of the things you said. But again, you did NOT have to go into the closet with Archie. Even if Cheryl went in with him, she would be angry at her, not at you."
Veronica nodded. She rubbed her face with her hands in frustration as she groaned.
"Just give her time. You're forcing it." Alex mentioned.
Veronica nodded.
Rehearsals ended. Alex checked her phone. She had a message from Chuck.
From Chuck:
Can't wait to see you.
She smiled.
She grabbed her stuff and headed out the doors.
She began walking to Chuck's house. It wasn't that far but it wasn't as close as her house was.
She arrived and rang the doorbell.
He greeted her and welcomed her inside.
They headed up to their room where they began the making out on his bed.
They've gotten to this point before but she always stopped when she feared it would go too far. This time she wasn't sure she cared.
His hand, that was on her thigh, started to wander up her short shorts. She whimpered at his touch.
Their session got hotter by the minute.
He started yanking her shorts down.
Alex stopped kissing him.
"What are you doing?" She nervously asked.
"Don't worry." He kissed her neck. "I'll be gentle."
She hesitantly nodded and continued to kiss him.
When he took her shorts off, she starting pulling at his shirt. He took the hint and pulled it off, reconnecting their lips as he got it off.
He was on top of her. Her legs were spread out, whereas he was at her entrance. She felt his bulge as he occasionally pressed himself against her. The contact would make her whimper, wanting more.
She took her shirt off as well. Her hands trailed down to his belt and zipper as she unbuckled and unzipped his jeans. Her hands ran along his very visible bulge. He moaned softly when he felt her petite hands where he needed her the most.
She was a bit nervous because he was quite big. She decided she didn't care and proceed to pull his underwear down, not taking them off completely.
He took her panties off and finally, he placed himself at her entrance.
They both moaned softly at the contact.
"You're so wet." He grunted as he kept pressing himself against her.
she moaned in response. she was shaky and kinda nervous because they were going to fast but she didnβt wanna ruin the moment.
"Do you want it?" He seductively asked, as he placed his arms on either side of her head, kissing her neck.
"Y-yes." She breathlessly moaned.
"Tell me. Tell me you do." He continued to kiss her neck.
"I-I want it. I want it so bad." She said with so much lust and need in her voice.
He gripped her waist with both of his hands and gently, like he promised, placed himself inside of her.
Her brows knit together as she felt all of him inside of her. She let out a loud moan once he was all in.
He snapped his hips back and forth, meeting hers. Her breaths were ragged and short. He was grunting the whole time, which turned Alex on more.
His hand ran along her stomach and starting rubbing her clit, causing her to moan louder.
"What's my name?" Chuck suddenly grunted.
Alex just moaned in response.
"I said," he said, grabbing her in a light chokehold, "what's my name?" He growled.
She swore she could've melted in his grip right there and then.
"C-Chuck." She moaned
Chuck moaned as he kept going, and faster. He was about to finish and so was she.
"Scream it." He demanded.
She was getting closer and closer with every stroke he made.
One last stroke and she screamed his name. That made him finish right there and then as well.
He rested his forehead against hers, trying to catch his breath. She was breathing quick too.
He extracted himself from her and laid beside her.
Alex was still trying to catch her breath. She knew she would be sore after this.
Chuck pulled his underwear and jeans up. He zipped and buckled them back up.
Alex sat up and started putting her clothes back on.
"You were great for your first time." Chuck admitted.
o-oh. he thought it was my first time.
Alex chuckled nervously and went along with it. "Thanks, I guess."
"Are you sore?" He asked leaning in for a kiss, which Alex gave to him.
"A little, but I'll be okay." She chuckled once again.
"Alright. Do you think you'll be good to walk home?" My dad's gonna get here soon." He casually said as he put his shirt back on.
What? That was it?
"U-uh, yeah, I guess so.." she stammered.
Chuck laid back down and pulled out his phone to go through his socials.
"Cool." Was all he said.
She got her bag and left.
She was sort of limping when she was walking but it went away after a couple of blocks.
She couldn't help but think that Chuck just used her. She felt her eyes well up with tears. She decided to fight them and not let them stream down her face.
She took a deep breath, and told herself everything would be okay.
She got home and saw Jughead, and Archie having a little argument outside.
"What? What are you gonna do?" Jughead asked, tempting Archie.
That was the only thing she overheard.
"Uh, is everything okay?" Alex carefully asked.
"Everything's fine." Archie didn't hesitate to answer her question.
Jughead just glared at him. They didn't break eye contact once.
"O-okay." She shook her head. "Hi, Jug."
"Hi." He bitterly responded. The bitterness wasn't intended for her but it came out that way anyway.
Then Fred stepped outside.
"Hey, Jug. Coming in?" Fred offered. "We got take-out from Pop's."
"He was just leaving." Archie answered for him.
"Archie." Alex scoffed.
Jughead scrunched his face up and walked away.
Archie went inside and Alex followed.
"Why are you home so late?" Fred asked Alex.
"I had cheer practice." She lied.
"I was just with Veronica." Archie said as his brows furrowed.
She stammered. "Oh- uh- with Cheryl. Just Cheryl. She asked me to help her choreograph so.."
Archie narrowed his eyes.
"And what the hell is up with you?" Fred continued to ask Archie.
"Nothing. I lost my appetite." Archie said, walking out of the kitchen to climb the stairs.
Alex scoffed and followed him.
She barged into his room.
"What the hell, Alex, knock firβ"
She cut him off. "Why have you been acting so weird?"
It caught him off guard.
"Why is Weatherbee asking me if I think you know anything about Jason's death? Hm?" She hummed when she got no response.
"A-And you're fighting with Jughead now? I mean seriously, what the fuck is going on?"
He looked away, shameful. βI-i don't know what to say to you.." He finally said after a moment of silence.
Alex let out a humorless chuckle. "Of course. That's perfect. That's just the fucking cherry on top."
She stormed off and went into her room, slamming the door. She felt betrayed because she kept covering for Archie whenever he needed it and there was something he wasn't telling her. Something is going on, she knows it.
She threw herself on her bed and screamed in frustration into her pillow.
Then something hit her. A thought: Chuck didn't wear a condom.
"FUCK!" She screamed into the pillow.
She sat up and starting to come up with a plan. She needed a plan b pill. Asap.
She thought about calling Betty, to ask her to get it for her but she knew she wouldn't. If her mother found it, she would kill them both.
Then she thought about Kevin but he's the type to blurt things out. She couldn't let him know.
There was no way she would ask her dad or Archie, or even Jughead.
It came down to one person.
She dialed their number.
Alex? I think you got the wrong phone number.
"N-no, i dialed it correctly. This is Veronica, right?" Her voice sounded shaky.
"I could really use your help.." Alex's voice broke.
what happened? Are you hurt?
βNothing like that.. can you just do me a huge favor?β
