Transference Chapter Update!
Summer was a fun time for the residents of Riverdale. Plenty of movies at the theatre or drive-in followed by milkshakes at Pop’s, recreational camps of various sports, summer jobs, and even cheerleading camp for the town with Pep. A quiet town, only slightly less so with the happy release of students from work. Four months of freedom providing fun for all who lived in the picture perfect suburbs. That was only half the story.
The other, was the sadder side of the tracks. Rougher around the edges, the Southside of Riverdale held less fun for the summer. Trips to camps were on scholarship or carefully scrimped away money for little kids. Teenagers had the luxury of practicing adult responsibility by getting full time jobs to help make ends meet, and hang outs were late and short due to early morning work or care for siblings.
That isn’t to say that fun didn’t exist, in fact, it is argued that the fun had on the Southside made the Northside charm pale in comparison. Late night drives, or motorcycle rides, lead to fun finds out of town, and the drive in and wyrm were always bustling with Serpents. There was also the beaches on what little of Sweetwater hit this side of the tracks as well as the Quarry to consider. That was where the best bonfires and late night parties were held. It was a good way to release the stress of the work day and dream about bigger and better things. There were the spare few that were satisfied with their lot in life, however.
One of them, a curvaceous blonde with an attitude to match, was currently letting her curls swing against her face as she danced to the beat of the music around her. She stood to the right at her pool table, a drink in one hand, the cue in another. She just finished another boring as hell week house sitting for some vacationing family or another, taking care of pets and their ever particular diets, and was ready to either throw away or expand on her payday. This was on her third drink and second victory with her hustling partner, who had just finished working on her bike and deserved a well spent night out. So far, she was holding true to end of the deal and the night was still young.
