Summary:
Forsythe Pendleton Jones III, or better know as Jughead The Serpent King, has only ever known life as a Serpent on the Southside. He lives with his Mom, Dad and the only person he has a soft spot for, his little sister, Jellybean in the trailer park. When Southside High closes and the Serpents are forced to attend Riverdale High, Jughead has a tough time adjusting, especially when he meets the Northside princess, Betty Cooper.
Riverdale High
"Good morning Bulldogs! We have an announcement to make this morning as Riverdale's Southside high will be closed as of next Monday, Riverdale High has volunteered to take in most of the students that have been affected. We understand this is a big adjustment for everyone, but we expect all students to give our Southside guests a warm Bulldog welcome!"
The students ar Riverdale broke out in protest in their seats. Betty and Veronica exchanged a half worried, half disgusted look. "Southside Serpents? At Riverdale?" Veronica scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Heres to hoping they realize what a bad idea that is."
Betty shrugged half heartedly, "Oh I don't know V, it can't be all bad, right?"
V laughed, "Oh come on, Betty. Serpents? In Bulldog territory? We don't need those criminals around here, they're dangerous."
Betty frowned, "I guess..."
Southside
Sweet Pea kicked over the nearest trash can. "Can you believe it? They're shutting down the school! We're being transferred to Riverdale!"
Jughead just sat back in his chair looking bored, "Relax Sweet Pea. Wether its Southside or Riverdale, the Serpents remain united. Stuck up Northsiders change nothing." The Serpent King stood up and lit his cigarette, "I say, come Monday morning, the Serpents show the Bulldogs whose really on top."
"Picking fights already?" Came an amused voice at the door, "We haven't even started school yet."
Jughead turned around, taking a drag from his cig, "Relax Toni," he chuckled, "we're just gonna make sure The Bulldogs know whose boss."
Toni rolled her eyes, "You boys and your petty battles over dominance."
"Oh fuck off Toni, you know you want to teach those Northsiders a lesson just as much as we do. " Sweet Pea teased causing both Toni and Jughead to chuckle.
As the laughter died down, the three Serpents laid back, wondering what Monday morning would bring upon the Serpents.
Monday Morning: Jughead Jones
Jughead awoke to his alarm blaring rather loudly in one ear, and his sister screaming rather loudly in the other. "Forsythe Pendleton Jones III! Wake the hellup! You have to take me to school!"
Jughead grumbled, "I'm coming Jellybean, relax." Groaning, he rolled out of bed, turned off the alarm and quickly slid on a pair of ripped jeans and shrugged his Serpents Jacket over his shoulders. He lumbered out and grabbed a piece of toast and his motorcycle keys. He put the piece of toast between his teeth as he laced his dirty boots and grabbed his signature beanie.
"C'mon Jellybean," he mumbled, gesturing outside with his arm.
Jellybean rolled her eyes as she grabbed her backpack, "I told you, I go by JB now!"
Jughead smiled softly as he mounted his motorcycle, "Yeah, whatever. Just put your helmet on." JB got on behind Jughead and the two siblings drove off.

Jughead pulled up to his first day at Riverdale High. The first thing he noticed was that the school was much cleaner than Southside. There was no spit in the parking lot and the school had a surprising lack of It lacked the druggies out front he was so used to, instead there stood a group of clean cut football players with letterman's jackets. The Serpent King mentally scoffed at the perfect northside dream school. On the outside it may have looked pretty, but on the Inside Riverdale High was just as rotten as Southside.
As he dismounted his bike, the soft smile he wore for Jellybean was gone and replaced with a mean smirk. The other Serpents rallied behind their king as he sauntered towards the front doors of the school. He paused for a moment to light a cigarette before harshly pushing the doors of Riverdale High open, making his dramatic entrance.
Monday Morning: Betty Cooper
This was the morning. Today, all the students from Southside High were being transferred to Riverdale. Betty sat on her bed nervously, how were the Southside students going to act? Were they really all criminals and druggies like Veronica said? What if they turned Riverdale into another Southside High?
She was jerked out of her thoughts quickly as her phone rang loudly. Betty looked down, seeing the name pop up on the screen made her smile.
Archie Andrews
The boy next door had been Betty's crush for years and years. To her, it was the perfect love story. The popular football player falls in love with the clean cut white collar girl next door. They fall in love in highschool after he realizes his childhood friend isn't a little girl anymore and has actually become a beautiful young woman.. They get married and have a big wedding where they dance the night away. Then they have the perfect little family with perfect kids and a perfect life.
Betty quickly picked up her phone, "Hello?" she smiled excitedly.
"Hey," Archie's voice came from over the phone, "I'm out front. We still walking to school together?"
Betty nearly jumped up in joy, "Of course! I'll be out in two seconds!"
Betty raced down the stairs and practically flew out the door, barely pausing to call out a "bye mom" as she slammed the door behind her.
:)
Betty was standing by her locker with Archie. She had yet to run into any Southsiders, but the day was just beginning.
"Betty! Hey I've been meaning to talk to you!" Veronica seemingly glided up to where the two were standing.
Betty's smile faltered slightly, as she tilted her head in curiosity, "Of course V! What's up?"
"Well-"
Before Veronica could finish there was a loud boom as the doors of Riverdale High were slammed open. The three highschooler's heads snapped to look at the front doors. In fact, the entire hall seemed to freeze in anticipation
The first to come through the doors was a handsome lean boy with clean raven locks that fell across his face in just the right fashion. He wore a black leather serpent jacket that screamed danger and worn dark wash jeans, finally, he topped it all off with a dark gray beanie and a cigarette in his mouth. He radiated charismatic confidence and pure temptation, the type of temptation that only the devil himself could offer. He made Betty shift uncomfortably where she stood, but as to why she was so unnerved, she had no clue.
He was followed in by multiple more teens in leather jackets, all bearing serpents on the back. They took a quick look around, becoming familiar with their surroundings. Whether they were accepted or not, it was clear that the serpents were there to stay.
The entire school seemed to be frozen, waiting to see who would make the next move.
Finally, the boy with the raven hair stepped forward, Betty concluded that he must be the leader. The Serpent looked around the halls and smirked, taking the cigarette out of his mouth, "Hello, Riverdale High..."
