Charlie Thames is a girl with high standards or so she tells herself. Her hazel brown eyes take in her surroundings, allowing a soft sigh to escape her plump pale pink lips. Her raven curls were thick, and all over the place as they fell mid-front. The petite, slender girl with a peaches n creme complexion couldn't help the glare she allowed to meet Veronica Lodge. She heard rumors of the rich priss, having discovered her blood relations to the latina female with raven waves.
"How can he love that?" Briana Topaz voices from beside Charlie. Her dark brown orbs, raking over the Lodge girl. The girl with dark hair to match her brown complexion was far from thrilled at the thought of seeing Veronica Lodge, masquerading the ground of Riverdale High with Archie Andrews.
"You act like he won't ever notice you. Challenge the girl to a fight." Sweet Pea suggests from his spot on his motorcycle. The tall junk with a light caramel complexion, slick dark hair, and a bad attitude to match was a Southside Serpent. He was forced to attend the school, but refrained from actually giving in to the status quo. His honey brown eyes were scanning the sea of students.
"Yeah, because fighting always works." Charlie playfully scoffs, taking a swig of an ice cold beer she had snuck onto campus. Her first of the day would be her last. She released a gasp of annoyance once Sweet Pea confiscated the beer.
"Charlotte, you can't be caught drinking on school campus again! Remember what happened last time?" Sweet Pea hisses, gulping down the rest of the beer. He wiped his mouth, letting his gaze land on two familiar females.
"Oh, yeah, I remember. Who wouldn't want an old, wrinkly man touching them?" Charlie blaps, shaking her head of curls. She tosses her hair to her back, failing to shove all of her curls from her front. Gosh, how she hated messy hair!
"Ew, gross!" Briana says, pulling on her backpack straps. The girl wore a red-brick checkered plaid mini skirt with a jacket to par. She wore a white v-neck tee shirt underneath with magenta leggings, and black cowboy boots. She preferred for people to call her Slayer since they were always messing up her name.
"Hey, it happened!" Charlie barks, playfully nudging her best friend.
"Wasn't Sabrina supposed to meet you?" Sweet Pea wonders, furrowing an eyebrow at his odd choice of friends.
"Later at lunch." Slayer counters, catching the eye of her purple coated sister. Her eyes land on a redhead she hadn't met beforehand.
"Sweets, isn't that your girl?" Charlie asks, gesturing to the pale skinned chick conversing deeply with Toni Topaz. She heard the two were best friends citing each other as sisters.
Sweet Pea saw the sparkle in her big, bright blue eyes hidden behind thick, rimmed glasses. He loved her vibrant red curls, falling to the middle of her back. He liked the freckles surrounding her nose, the red leather jacket dawning the serpent symbol she wore and the black skinny jeans with boots she wore. He fancied the girl he was sure wouldn't give her the time of the day.
"He's drooling over the poor redhead." Slayer playfully notes, shoving the muscular serpent. She tugs on the sleeve of Charlie's light blue hoodie.
Charlie always wore a size to big to hide her small, petite figure. She had a bad back, despising herself more for having a frail body. Her hazel brown eyes, dropped to her light blue jeans briefly meeting the heel top of her peach nike sneakers. "Slayer, do we have to-?"
Slayer was already, dragging Charlie over to her sister and the redhead. She stopped, slinging an arm around the brunette across the schoolyard.
"Toni, who's your new girl?" Slayer chirps, causing Charlie to suck in a sharp air of breath.
Charlie was your classic good girl. She hardly ever did anything wrong. She liked to be in a small, spacious room with no other people around.
"This is Baby Jones-Blossom. Her parents are Penelope Blossom and FP Jones. You may call her, Firecracker." Toni quickly chirps to her sister in response.
"This is Cj. I'm Slayer." The brown skinned girl replies, extending an arm to shake to the new girl.
"Oh? Are you good girls?" Firecracker responds, lifting a challenging eyebrow at the two. Her blue eyes take in the girls, smirking at their good girl personas.
"There it is. The family love." Charlie snarkily voices, earning a questioning look from the redhead.
"Who did you say you are again?" Firecracker is giving Charlie the evil eye.
"Hermione Lodge is my mother. Hal Cooper is thy father..." Charlie grossly remarks, shivering in disgust at the sheer thought of such an absurd idea. She clings to her hoodie, watching as Firecracker snorts.
"The pathetic excuse of a half Lodge? You are as filthy as they are. Why should I be suprised?" Firecracker voices in a challenging manner. She already notes the girl as a weak, soft, loner who won't make it.
"Funny, how a good girl like yourself can be related to a Blosson, Cooper, and Lodge. What are the odds?" Toni bites off, briefly narrowing her dark gaze at her little sister. She'd have a talk with her once school let out.
"What are the odds of FP Jones hooking up with Alice Cooper? This town is a parody of itself!" Charlie half shouts, ready to fight either or both of the girls. Her blood was boiling like the oncoming storm, threatening to tear the small town of Riverdale apart.
"You wanna go, Sparrow?" Firecracker seethes, bawling up her fists. She'd give the girl something to cry about. She got in Charlie's face, ready to pounce.
"I can knock you for a loop, first!" Charlie hisses, cracking her knuckles. She held up her fist, throwing the first punch. She manages to give the girly a bruised eye while she gains a pop to the mouth. She ends up with a mouthful of blood.
"Charlotte Jameson Thames, what the fuck do you think you're doing? Are you trying to get expelled?" Sweet Pea shouts, prying Charlie from the other girl who was being held back by Toni. His honey brown eyes were in disbelief as his gaze flits from the group of girls.
"The principal is coming!" Slayer squeaks as Toni nods for her sister to get lost. She remains with her feet intact. She wasn't about to ditch her best friend.
Firecracker let her blue eyes focus on the smooth, talk drink of water that is Sweet Pea. She mentally stripped him down, licking her lips at how sweet he would taste to her. A smirk sat on her pink lips as her eyes dotted back and forth between the two brunettes.
Charlie was struggling in Sweet Pea's grip, wanting to beat the living snot of a Blossom for a change. Her breathing grew regular after a few seconds of utter silence. Her body went rigid, shooting an icy glare into the redhead.
"What is going on here?" The principal asks, glaring from one to the other. He was fairly new, holding a bit of a strict demeanor. His green eyes, glaring directly at Charlie assuming she'd started it.
"Principal Sinclair, this is not what it looks like. We were trying to calmly decide the prom colors. Got a bit riled up for nothing. I apologize." Sweet Pea softly spoke, easily lying as if it was a natural ability.
The blonde man with chiseled good looks, turned a glare onto the lot of the students. He decided to be generous, allowing this slip up. Just once.
"Fine, but if I catch a whiff of you at each other's throats then you'll have detention for a month with no prom. Am I clear?" Principal Sinclair scoffs, straightening his light yellow suede tuxedo. He always wore it, choosing to look dapper for the school.
They agreed, leaving the man with his peace.
"Nice save, Sweets." Toni beams, smiling at the tall serpent.
"Somebody had to." Charlie pipes up in a low squeak. The girl was flushed with red cheeks. She could taste the copper of blood in her mouth. She didn't like being this way.
"We don't need world of the war every time we find out someone is related to another." Slayer calmly voices, rolling her eyes. She turns to face Charlie, "I've got to get to class. No more fighting, kay?"
"It's true. We don't. I'm sorry, Firecracker." Charlie is still red due to her embarrassment.
"We're cool. A good brawl never hurt anyone." Firecracker shrugs off the apology, clucking her tongue to the roof of her mouth.
"You had to use prom as an excuse?" Charlie wonders, pulling from the grip of her best friend. She had a small crush on the tall serpent when they first met, but then it fizzled out. She always found the strangeness taking place inside every time she liked somebody at first only to find she must have dreamed it. It's why she identified as Asexual.
Her feelings were never true. Nor did they hold up for too long. She didn't find herself attractive either even if she didn't have conflict inside.
Chuckling, Sweet Pea nodded. He extended a long, tan arm to Firecracker. "I'm Sweet Pea."
"Firecracker." The redhead beams, giving them room to walk into the school together.
It's as if they saw no one else.
Charlie shrugs, knowing better to question couples. She straightens her posture the best she can, "how long have you known Baby?"
"Longer than you. You've known my sister longer than me. It's nice to finally meet the she-devil with no love." Toni says, walking beside Charlie into the school.
Charlie smirks. She'd check out guys, wolf whistling the hot ones occasionally. Hell, she even wolf whistled the ones she thought she fancied at the time. She'd gain funny, disapproving looks while she stood by her lonesome- proving lustful yet she didn't care. She had to get it out of her system before Chad returned.
Overprotective brothers were a different story.
