Noah was standing while leaning down on the table as he disassembled a phone with a screw to try and fix what was wrong with it because the battery was not increasing at all, as this was one of his ways of earning money too. Raising his head for a moment, his eyes landed on a familiar face, someone who he wasn’t that close but has spoken to her briefly back in Southside high or at the Whyte Wyrm. His eyes widened after the gust of wind sent the papers everywhere and he immediately let go of what he was doing and went over, picking up the papers on the floor. “I think I know you…” Noah then looked down at her paper to see her name, “Sue Stringly.” He slowly said with curiosity, handing her the papers.

The boy looked familiar to Sue, but she couldn’t quite place where they’d met before. She gave him a soft smile in thanks as she grabbed the papers from his hand. “You might,” she said, shrugging. “Then again, I have a pretty generic face.” Sue turned around to walk away, but quickly turned back as a promise she had made to herself eariler that year echoed through her mind; make one friend. Doesn’t matter who. Just talk to someone for god’s sake. “Do you, uh, want to come sit with me?” She asked awkwardly. “Don’t feel like you have to, though.” She knew she was awful at interacting with people, but the only way to get better was to keep trying, right?

lips remained in a firm line, papers exchanged from his hands to hers, unsure of himself in the situation. he didn’t do well with people he didn’t know all that well. anxious, uncomfortable, unknowing of what to say. he nodded his ‘welcome’ instead of voicing it, pulling his hand back so that he could tuck both into the pockets of his jacket. “ why bother? just find someone to copy from. “ it seemed normal enough, at least to him, who copied what he didn’t know from whichever serpent actually got it. another downside of attending the less than privileged southside high.

“That requires someone to let you use their work,” Sue said, giving him a small smile. “And I’m not really a people person.” She stood there for a second in awkward silence, not sure what else to say. “So do you, uh, want to come sit?” She asked, pointing over her shoulder to the table she had gotten up from. “You totally don’t have to.” She added with a forced laugh.

 Been there, seen that. He thought looking down at her arm “Yeah and being a Serpent you’ll earn more of those, trust me.” Sweet pea cleared his throat and nodded. “Right, well, is that it. I hate hanging round this place more than I have to.” 

“Yeah, that’s it. Thanks for hanging back.” She said, grabbing her bag from where she had been sitting. “I guess I’ll talk to you later.”

“You and me both.” Any bit of time she could spare was spent with her grandfather, reliving old memories and making a few new ones. Knowing they were moving for him had made the transition easier on her, made leaving her home more purposeful. “I think it’s quaint. Vastly different than living in California, but I don’t mind the change.”

“California, huh? Wow you must have had a huge culture shock.” Sue had never been outside of Riverdale’s boarder towns, let alone a completely different state. “Quaint is a good word for it. Sometimes it feels like if you’re not hanging around at Pop’s your only other option is to wander the woods.”

“That’s what a I keep hearing,” Crystal mused with a slightly nervous laugh, wondering if the girl was always this open, or if alcohol was playing a part. “My grandfather lives here, and his health seems to be taking a turn for the worse. Mom and Dad wanted to be sure we got as much time with him as he has left.”

“Oh, that really sucks.” Sue said, taking a step back. “Hopefully things take a turn for the better.” She paused for a second, trying to think of a new topic to lighten the mood. “So, what do you think of our humble little town?”

There was- something about this girl that was familiar; maybe not in her face, but absolutely in her eyes. Kevin couldn’t quite put his finger on it, though, so he just smiled and offered her back her papers. “It’s no problem,” he said, capping it off with a shrug. “I’d offer you help with that, but, I can’t do math to save my life.”

“That makes two of us.” Sue gave him a weak smile as she took the papers from his hand.“I’ll suffer through it, I mean, I’ve come this far.” She turned to leave, but something inside of her stopped. Make one friend. Her promise echoed through her mind. “Do you, umm, want to come sit with me?”

pea-serpent:

Sweet’s was known to be the one in the fight but to know he stirred the pot and would in the end get one started did get him to smirk. “Yeah, it’s a ballsy move and it will prove something. Lets just hope for your sake you not just bark and that you have a bite to you too.” 

“How else do you think I managed to get all of these?” She pushed up her sleeve, revealing several scars up and down her arm. “You can only take so many years of being a punching bag before you start fighting back, and trust me, I’ve done a lot of fighting back.”

“All I asked was do you know what you’re getting yourself into and you decided that you might want to fight me,” Toni pointed out, looking to her fist. “Didn’t really care what your reason was, just that you had a reason, but if you wanna reason that to having to explain yourself, then go off,” she shrugged. Taking a full sip of her drink, she gave Sue the once over.  “Word of advice, if you wanna be a serpent, you’re gonna need to get thicker skin than that.”

“It’s a shit excuse, but I’ve had a rough day. You just happened to be here when I burst.” Sue sighed. “I’m usually not this bad, believe it or not.” She didn’t want to leave on a bad note. She knew that she would be seeing a lot of Toni and like it or not, they needed to be on good terms. “How is it that you always seem so collected? I’m a mess twenty-four seven.”

serpanttopaz:

“First off, fix your tone. I’m not one of these soft Northsiders,” Toni warned, hearing the aggressiveness in Sue’s tone. If there was one thing Toni couldn’t stand it was drunk people in her face. She dealt with it enough at the Whyte Wyrm, she didn’t want to deal with it on her night out. “If you care about satisfying people, you came to the wrong person. Go find Birdie or better yet go find Penny, I bet she’s looking for eager little girls to join her band of misfit Ghoulies,” Toni replied, her voice growing louder. “If you kept that smart ass mouth up, you’re gonna have to. Good luck getting in if you try fighting me,” Toni smirked, crossing her arms. 

Sue’s hands balled into a fist as Toni mentioned Penny’s group of Ghoulies. She wasn’t just going to stand here and take that, was she? Yes, she was. Even as drunk as she was, she knew fighting Toni was a terrible idea. “You know what,” Sue said, shaking her head. “I was trying to be civil, but don’t need to explain myself to you. I am so sick of having to explain myself.” She let her thought trail off. “I think I should go before I say or do anything else sober me will regret.” She looked into her cup, which was now empty. “And I need another drink.”

pea-serpent:

“Fights are a good go.” He said with a shrug. He was a bit surprised that she suggested it but he wasn’t opposed, of course he wasn’t, Sweet pea constantly fought. He really didn’t care how the girl did it but she was the one to suggest it and he did say they needed fighters. “Keller…you want to take him on? Fine. You fight him and I’ll get your name in. But that’s all I can do, I’m not guaranteeing that my word is definitely going to get them to initiate you.”

“Consider it done.” She wasn’t sure why she suggested a physical fight and god knows why Keller was the first person to come to mind, but there was no going back on it now.  “I understand it’s not a guarantee. For right now, I’ll be satisfied with you trusting me.”

serpanttopaz:

Her story wasn’t any different than any serpents Toni had spoken to. Everyone was looking for a home, that much Toni could understand, but that didn’t mean she had be all for Sue going. “You know you’re gonna have to go through the test? The serpent dance and everything? Once you do it you can’t go back,” Toni warned. Was she trying to scare the girl away? Maybe. Did she think it would actually work? Doubtful. However, was try her best. No matter how many numbers the serpents needed, she wasn’t going to let some groupie join their family so easily. “You know there’s a Ghoulie war going on. You prepared to fight?”

I know exactly what I’ll have to do.” She said aggressively. “Why is it that every Serpent I talk to just assumes that I’m going to bail on them. I would never.” She couldn’t stop herself, the mix of her emotions and the alcohol was getting the best of her. “I know there’s a war going on. Why the hell would I want to join now if I wasn’t ready to fight? I’m not an idiot, I know exactly what’s happening and I still want to join. Why can’t that be enough to satisfy you?” She was perfectly aware that Toni’s questions were valid; that the Serpents were a family, not just some after school club. “Look,” She said, taking a breath to regain herself. “I’m serious about joining. I’m not some princess looking to do something bad. I’m from the south side, lived there my entire life. I’ve seen what’s happening and I’m sick of it. The war with the Ghoulies was the last straw for me, I’m ready to fight.” She paused. “The question is, am I going to have to fight you too?”
