Riverdale high principal office (Peters pov):

"Nice to meet you Ava", I said and gave her a smile, she looked at me and turned away, is she shy?

"Y-y-you too Peter", she said as she looked my way through her long Brown hair.

"Now", mr Weatherbee said and gained our attention, "Now mr Parker, could you show her alittle around the school?", he said and glanced at me.

"Sure, but one question", I said, he looked at me and raised his eyebrow, "why me?", I said and Ava looked at me and had a look on her face like she just been rejected "oh, that was not what I meant, I just moved here recently, and dont know nearly as much about the school as Betty does", I finished and she gave me a little smile, she seems like she has been rejected for alot of her life, just like I have been, I see myself in her, bullied, jerked around, but I will be her friend.

"Most of the classes are in session right now, so maybe show her around the school, Mr Parker, her locker is next to yours", he said

"Ofcourse, are you ready for the best worst tour of a school of your life?", I asked, she let out a giggle and followed me.

Riverdale high:

"So this is our auditorium, where we're going to have a singing competion soon", I said, and looked around, thinking back on my first day, meeting Josie in here, and how much I have hurt her, how stupid I have been.

"So are you going to sing?", Ava asked and looked at me.

"Haha, funny, the only tones I can hit is the tone deaf ones", I said and laughed, soon she laughed, she laughed hard, "i'm so sorry", she said as she covered her mouth.

"Dont be", I said and laughed beside her, "So what you wanna see next?, the cafeteria?", I finished.

"Yeah, that would be great", she replied and we walked.

Cafteria:

"So this is where we buy our food, you really dont wanna be here for taco tuesday, its total anarchy in here, if you dont have your arms close to your body, it will cost a limb", I said.

"I'm used to New York, do you miss it?, New York I mean", she replied as we walked outside and ended up in the food court.

Food court:

"Sometimes", I said as we sat down at a table, "I have lost so much in that city, that it was time for a fresh start", I said, she looked at me, I could see from her eyes that she had lost too, "who have you lost?", I asked, her eyes widend at the question "sorry, you dont have to tell me", I finished.

"Yeah I have lost, i'm not ready to share just yet", she said and looked down, I put a hand on her shoulder "and i'm here when you're ready to talk", I said, and gave her a smile which she returned.

"Well i'm gonna look at the science lab", she said.

"Come on I can show you", I said and we walked back into the school, the bell had just rung and the hallways were full of life.

Hallways:

"So this is the science lab", I said.

"I can see that, thanks for everything Peter", she said and walked inside, "wanna come in and talk", Ava said, but I didn't listen as I saw Kevin walk up to Veronica and stood against the locker "oh my god did you hear?", Kevin started, Betty and Veronica turned around and face him, "remember when you went swooping in to save Ethel?, because you thought she might be suicidal", he said.

"Oh no, she...she didn't?", Veronica said in a shocked voice.

"No but her dad did, he accidently swallowed a whole bottle of sleeping pills, he's going to be okay...but" Kevin finished, Veronica walked away fast, and I could feel she was close to tears.

"I'm sorry Ava, I can't right now, my friend need me, see you?", I said, and walked backwards away from her, she gave me a nod and a smile, soon I ran after Veronica, I saw Veronica walk into the girls lockerroom, I know I shouldnt go in there, but she is my best friend.

Girls lockerroom:

As I entered I saw the pearls from her necklace on the ground and in the sink, I walked fast up to her and brought her into a hug as she collapsed into me "shhhhh, its going to be alright Ronnie", I said, We were on the ground now as I continued to hug her, the door soon opened and Betty walked in and saw us, she walked up and gave her a hug also, Veronica was still crying, "you can't blame yourself for this Ronnie", I said, Betty glanced at me and raised an eyebrow.

"She told me, what happend", I said and Betty gave me a nod" phew dodge that bullet.

Veronica was now sitting on the bench, "can we go get flowers for them?", she said and looked at me.

"Anything you need, i'm here", I said.

"Thanks, would you mind coming with me to the hospital?", Veronica asked.

"Ofcourse, anything for you", I said, we locked eyes, what is it about those eyes of hers?, they are so mesmerizing, I could almost feel myself lean in to kiss, her but just almost, I can't do this to Felicia.

"After school then", Veronica said, and we walked out of the lockerroom.

"Wow pervy much Parker", ginger said as she saw me walk out with Ronnie.

"Shut up ginger, or so help me", Veronica said.

"Wow easy there, we all have had a boy in there before, just not a nerd", Ginger said

*smack*, holy Thor, Ronnie just smacked her across the cheek, "dont speak to him like that, he is the best person I have ever met, next time I'll punch you in the face", Veronica threatend.

"Whatever", ginger said with tears in her eyes as she got into the lockerroom.

"You didn't have to do that", I said.

"Ofcourse I did, you protect me all the time, now it was time to return the favor, beside your so much more than a geek, you're my best friend", she said and leaned up to me and gave me a kiss on the cheek, and with that we left school and got the flowers for Ethels dad.

Riverdale hospital:

"Ronnie are you sure you wanna do this?", I asked her as we walked through the entrance to the hospital, she stopped and looked at me "its my dads fault he's in here, its the least I can do for her and her family", she said.

"Still Ronnie, its not your fault what your father did, you shouldnt best yourself up over this", I said, as we had stopped to talk, before going further.

"I know, I just need to try", she said and looked at me.

"Right, I understand why, come on then lets go", I said as we continued our adventure into the hospital.

"Peter, Veronica hey", Ethel said as she cried beside her mom, "mom, these are my friends, this is Peter and this is Veronica", Ethel said as she gestured towards the two of us.

"Hi", I said and extended my hand towards Mrs. Muggs, she didn't take it or acknowledge it, so must be sad for her husband.

"Mrs Muggs, we hearts what happend, and we wanted to leave these flowers with you", Veronica said as she handed her the flowers.

Mrs Muggs looked up at us and gave a little smile "that's very kind, thank you, both of you", she said.

"Please dont thank me", Veronica said.

"We're just glad you're husband and father is gonna be okay, see you at school Ethel", I said and grabbed Veronica to get out of here, we were close to the elevator when Ronnie turned around to adress the pair again, "Ronnie", I started as she looked at me "you dont need to do this, not right now", I said, she looked at me and gave me a smile and a kiss on the cheek, before she turned around and headed for the pair.

"Ethel, Mrs. Muggs, theee's something I need to tell you", Veronica started as the two looked at me and Veronica concerned, "my name is Veronica Lodge", she started, Mrs. Muggs let out a breath and she continued "my father is", Veronica got out before Mrs. Muggs interupted her "Hiram Lodge, and you're really showing you're face here?", she asked.

"Mom, she's my friend", Ethel tried.

"She's not your friend", Mrs. Muggs said, I got a light buzz in my head and looked around for danger, but couldnt find anything, hmm what could have triggered it?, "her father is a criminal, he's the reason dad did this to himself", Mrs. Muggs finished.

"Ronnie, is that true?", Ethel asked as she looked between Veronica and I.

"Yes, and i'm so sorry, I wish I could do something", Veronica said as she was starting to cry, I put a hand on her shoulder to calm her down, Ethel sent daggers my way, whats up with her?

" 'sorry', is that all you got?, because its not good enough, you wanna do something?, tell the damn truth, your father is ruining other peoples life, he deserves to sit behind bars for the rest of his miserable life", Mrs. Muggs yelled at Ronnie, she went forward and sent a slap towards her face, I grapped her arm before it could hit Ronnie, Mrs. Muggs had a shocked look on her face, I put more pressure on her arm as I went forward, "you do not hit her for something her father has done", I said to her, I still held her arm in a tight grip, she couldnt move her arm away, "if you come after her, I'll come for you", I said as we made eye contact.

"And what, harm me?", she asked as she glared at me.

"If you harm her? then yes", I said and let go of her, "hmph, come on Ethel", she said and grapped Ethel.

"Come on Ronnie", I said and put a arm around her.

"Thank you", she said as we entered the elevator.

"Anytime, I promised I would protect you, and that is what I intend to do", I finished, I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of Ethel Muggs or her mother, but we'll cross that bridge when it comes.

"Mind walking me to the Pembrooke?", Veronica asked.

"Yeah ofcourse", I said as she hooked her arm through mine.

Pembrooke:

We entered through the front door and was greeted by Hermione, "hey you two, how was your night?", she asked as she had a glass of Wine.

Veronica walked to the couch her mom was sat on, and I went to a chair and sat down as mom and daughter went to have a talk "we just got back from the hospital, where Ethels dad is, because he tried to kill himself, because of what daddy did, and for all I know continues to do", Veronica said as she let the tears flow, she looked at me and I gave her a smile for her to continue "i'm done lying for dad", Veronica fisnished as she went to her room, I quickly followed and brought her into a hug, "its okay Ronnie, everything will be okay", I said as we entered her room.

"Ronnie", I said, she hugged me and gave me a long kiss on the lips, "Ronnie...", I got out.

"I'm sorry", she said and walked to her bed.

"Dont be, its okay", I said and gave her a smile.

"Thank you for every thing Peter, for grapping her arm, stopping her from hitting me, would you have done anything if she had hit me?", Veronica said and looked at me.

"Good thing we didn't have to find out", I said, but truth be told, I dont know what I would do, I would like to say I wouldn't have done anything, but I probably would, good thing it didn't get that far, "see you tomorrow", I said and went towards her bedroom door and grapped the doorhandle before a pair of arms grabbed me.

"Please stay", Veronica said and let me to her bed, nothing like that just to have a shoulder to rest on and relax together.

"Okay Ronnie", I said and layed down on her bed, soon she smuglede up to me and sleep over took.

Riverdale high next day:

Ethel was sat in class as Veronica and I entered, "I dont think i'm her favorite person right now", I said to her, she just looked at me and gave me a smile.

"Ethel, I meant what I said, i'm so sorry Ethel, for everything my family did to yours", Veronica said.

Ethel shook her head, shit she hates us "its not your fault what your dad did, Peter was right about that part, when he stopped my mom from slapping you, besides you two were there for me when no one else was, more than once, you guys are amazing", she said, she then looked at the two seats beside her "the seats aren't taken if you want them", Ethel finished, Veronica and I looked at eachother before giving a nod so we could sit down beside Ethel.

Blue and gold:

Jughead and Betty had called me in for an emergency meeting, as I entered I saw Archie, Betty and Jughead talking.

"Hey Peter", Betty greeted.

"Hey, whats this?", I asked.

"When I was at the tree tapping thing, it seemed like Penelope and Clifford was behind the arrest of Hiram Lodge", Archie said.

"Oh my god, if Clifford tearing Hirams family appart, what if Hiram is trying to do the same?", Betty asked.

"By killing Jason" I said.

"You're onto something, Hiram would know whats most valueable to them, their family, their legacy, thats a motive if I have ever seen one", Jughead said and put some evidence on the murder board, should I tell them, that the kingpin is the one behind it?

Riverdale high after school:

"Hey nerd, move", Cheryl said as she bumped into Ava, and she fell to the floor and her school things fell all over, Cheryl standing over Ava, "what you're gonna cry?, look the new student is gonna be a big cry baby,", she finished with a laugh as Ava was still collecting her things, but ginger kicked it again.

"Enough Cheryl", I said as I went infront of Ava.

"Well Well Well, the geek in shining armor, what you gonna hit me?", she said, oh i'm thinking about it.

"No, why would I hit you?", I asked and raised an eyebrow.

"Because of this", Cheryl said as she poured her water over my head.

Ava had gathered her things as she stood behind me, "its okay go", I said to her and she walked away fast, oh this is gonna be great, I grapped the edge of my shirt and lifted it over my head, Cheryl and her goon squad just stared at me, I snapped my fingers infront of Cheryl, "hey my eyes are up here", I said, Cheryl just rolled her eyes at me, before she walked away, I had to go by the lockerroom to get a spare shirt.

I walked past Betty and Veronica, they just stared at me, "wow", Betty said as I walked past.

"Excuse me Betty", Veronica said, as she ran after me, "Peter wait up", she said.

"Hey Ronnie, whats up?", I said as I stopped infront of the lockerroom.

"Whats up?, why are you going around the school without a shirt?, and why are you wet?", she asked, as she looked me up and down.

"Hey, my eyes are up here princess", I said and laughed at her.

"I know, i'm just admiring the view", she said and I blushed at that.

"Well for the why part, Cheryl was bullying the new girl, I stood up for her, Cheryl poured a water bottle over me, then I took it of infront of everyone, now that I think about it, wasn't a smart choice but, ehhh, i'm handsome", I said as I flexed and laughed at myself.

"You are handsome", she said and walked closer to me and pulled me to her.

"Ronnie, we can't, I can't", I said as I felt her breath on my lips.

"Sorry, now get your butt in there and get a shirt on", Veronica said and smacked my butt.

I quickly put a shirt on and saw Ava, I waved at her, but she quickly ran, she must have had a rough day.

Ava pov:

I saw Peter talking to a girl, I wanted to say thanks to him for sticking up for me, also holy Thor he has a six pack, the girl turned towards me, OH MY GOD, no, no, no, no, its veronica lodge, I quickly turned around and ran, why is such a good guy like Peter friends with Veronica she is the devil herself, atleast Kate Bishop isn't here also.

Peters pov:

"See you around Ronnie", I said and walked away from her as she made her way back to Betty.

I ran into Archie "hey Peter, so did you know its jugheads birthday soon?", Archie asked.

"No I didn't, Jughead is my friend but he doesn't get personal", I said and laughed at it.

"Yeah do you think I should tell Betty?", he asked.

"Yeah, Betty wilL probably do some sort of surprise for him", I said.

"Yeah you're right I'll tell Betty, do you think she would do a surprise party for him?", Archie asked.

"No idea, see you later Archie", I said, and went out through the school Doors.

"Yeah see you around", Archie said and went to what I believe is the football field.

Maybe a birthday surprise party for Jughead is just what we need, I mean what could go wrong?
