When the Serpents moved into Riverdale High, your entire life changed. Okay that’s a little dramatic but ever since Sweet Pea walked by you in the halls, you couldn’t take your eyes off of him. Now he’s is sitting in the lunch room in just the right spot where you can discreetly stare. That boy is one tall drink of water that you could drink forever. Oh the things that sweet body could d-
“Earth to y/n? I seriously think you’re drooling.” Betty snapped her fingers in front of you as you wiped the corners of your mouth with your hand. “I know you’re head over heels with Sweet Pea but could you actually pay attention to me for two seconds? I need help on question four.”
“Yeah, sorry Betts.” You shook your head a little to erase your mind so you could help your friend. The problem only took five minutes and the conversation the two of you were having quickly turned back to the small staring problem you had early.
“Why don’t you just try and talk to him?” Betty suggested. She talks as if it’s really that easy.
“Yeah good one Betty, I’ve only thought of that a million times. What the hell am I supposed to say, ‘Hey there, Sweet Pea. We’ve never even talked but I’m totally into you even thought you probably eat shy and meek people like me for breakfast. Date me?’” You rolled your eyes and groaned as you laid your head on the table. You didn’t mean to be short with her but this subject was starting to stress you out and you aren’t sure how much longer you can hold up.
“Wait, you have feelings for Sweet Pea?” Jughead’s voice spoke up quite loudly as he sat next to Betty. In fact, it was a little too loudly. Your head shot up immediately and even though you know you shouldn’t, you look over to where the tall boy is sat. Sure enough, he is looking in your direction with raised eyebrows and a comical look on his face. Fuck.
“I uuhh... yeah I’m out of here.” With cheeks as red as that one lipstick Veronica wears, you quickly stumbled to your feet and walked out of the lunchroom.
“That was a nightmare. I could feel everyone staring at me as I got up and now the entire school is probably spreading rumors and throwing shit out of proportion.” You whined to Betty while pulling books out of your locker. The whole thing happened yesterday and you could still feel the heat in your cheeks from the experience.
“Oh c’mon y/n, it wasn’t as bad as you think it was.” Betty tried to convince you, jumping a little when you slammed your locker door shut a little harder than you had meant to. The small sigh that left her mouth let you know that she was starting to become aggravated with your poor mood. Before you could say anything to her, you saw a mischievous smirk fall onto her lips and she quickly moved to hip bump you hard enough to send you stumbling back a bit in the congested hall.
You yelped a little and tried to brace yourself for the collision of your body and the ground but it never came. Instead, a strong pair of arms wrapped around your middle and your back softly hit a firm chest. Your eyes almost fell out of your head as you look down to see a small thumb tattoo that you had intricately studied several times in secret. Fuck.
The tall figure mumbled out a small ‘whoa’ before helping you back on your feet. You already knew who had caught you during your fall but you found yourself squeezing your eyes shut and praying that it was anybody but him. When you were fully turned around, your eyes opened and of course it was none other than Sweet Pea.
All air felt like it was vacuumed from your lungs and you sat in front of the boy that you practically worshiped making blubbering and choking sounds as your mouth flopped open and shut relentlessly. What a nightmare. Movement in your peripheral vision caught your attention and you saw Betty making gestures for you to start talking and to wave your hands in front of you..... no maybe that meant to move closer. Before you could fully decipher the hand gestures you heard sweet pea clear his throat. He looked at you with a raised brow and what almost looked like an amused look on his face.
“I uhh...... wow I’m um sorry I fell because you know sometimes people are clumsy and they stumble and fall into cute peoples arms. Shit, not that you’re cute it’s just- no wait your are cute but oh sweet jesus I just can’t..” You scrubbed your hands over your face and stared down at all the marks on the floor. It was now or never, might as well just make your move. And maybe you could do it without sounding like a compete fool. “What are you doing Friday night?”
Sweet pea ran his tongue over his teeth as he looked into your eyes once you finished. That simple gesture made you feel all tingly and some not so clean thoughts entered your mind. What a god like body this boy had, he could jus-
“Seems like I’ll be spending my time with you. Pops at eight?” Sweet Pea smirked as you practically melted onto the linoleum floor beneath you. “I’ll pick you up but you might want to wipe the drool off of your lip beforehand.” His hand shot up before you could say anything and he wiped quickly at your bottom lip. It was dry of course but this boy knew what he was doing to you and he was really hamming it on. Without another word, he brushed past you and went on his way
“Well that was kind of painful to watch but I’m guessing it turned out alright?” Betty’s voice brought you back to reality and the realization of what just actually happened hit you.
“Betty, I think I have a date.”
