"Twisted" is what to explain this next day. Everything was somewhat back to normal. It was monday as everybody was in a grumpy mood about going back to school. Including Lacey. She lost her best friend not to long ago and her boyfriend on top of that...As she was seen looking at the photo of and Archie she smiles touching his face
"I miss you..." she whispered. Before getting ready to school. She made her way downstairs heading out of her house. Getting into her car she starts it. Just as she turns on the engine a hand covered her mouth scaring her. The man wearing a black hoodie leans up to whisper something
"If i remove my hand,promise you won't scream?" he asked her. Lacey slowly nods her head as he did as promised. He removed his hand from her mouth. Still shaking she looks at his reflection in the mirror
"W-who are you? What do you want?" she says trying to remain calm. He removes his hoodie to reveal himself as...Archie? Lacey's eyes widen in horror. It was like she was going to faint. His face curled up in a smile . As he knows she probably has questions
"Hey, Lace" Archie says. Indeed it was him. From head to toe, Lacey examined him completely thinking it was a ghost or her imagination
"A-archie?...I-is that you?" she asked turning around. He leans in to kiss her on the lips for a few minutes to let everything sink in. She released the hold gazing into his eyes. His hand gently touched her face making her shiver
"What does that tell you?" he says climbing in the front seat sitting in the passanger side. She shakes her head still confused
"How is this possible?...Your supposed to be dead. At least i think you were"
"I could never leave you Lacey"
"Then what happened? Who was in your car? It crashed" Lacey asked as Archie nods his head
"I know. A friend of mine borrowed the car. And my wallet. When he didn't come back i figured something happened...or he was taking the car out for a joyride"
"Im just glad your back and alive" Lacey says not caring anymore and hugs him. After having a few moments to themself's it was school time. Jo on the other hand was looking forward to school. Mostly to see Danny. As part of her has been loving the little secret meetings they had over the weekend
"So, how's the whole Romeo and juilet thing going between you and Danny?" asked Rico who spotted Jo not to far away. She rolls her eyes closing it shut
"He's not my boyfriend Rico" Jo responded to him. Rico chuckles
"Really...then why is he coming this way?" he asked. Jo turns around spotting nobody there as he smiles
"Made you look" "And you are so into him" he says . Jo hits him on the shoulder
"I don't love Danny,Rico"
"Well, that's a relief" says a familiar voice as they both turned spotting Danny looking at them. He smiles as Jo lets out a small chuckle
"I didn't mean it as it sounded"
"Nah, its cool." By the way you left this at my place last night" he says handing her, her phone. Jo nods her head
"Thanks...i was wondering where i left it" she says looking at him as Rico smirks fake coughing
"You like him" he coughs out. Jo hits him on the back as Danny chuckles. Before Jo could speak there was a lot of commotion about something nearby as Jo looks at them
"Wonder what's up?"Jo asked. Danny shrugs his shoulders. As it came closer it was revealed to the school that Archie is alive and well. Walking hand in hand with Lacey who has a smile on his face. Archie walks past Danny with a smile
"Socio" he muttered out as they kept walking. All three had a confused look on their face
"I thought he was" Rico begins to say
"Dead?...yeah,so did everybody else" Jo finished as they watched him turn the corner. Danny sighs
"Well,even if he is back from the dead, he still hates me. But it does get me off the hook of at least one murder" he says. The trio begin to walk down the hallway heading for class
"Danny, we'll figure something out. I know you didn't kill Regina" Jo keeps repeating herself. Even though she sounds like a broken record. She is telling herself the truth. She knows he didn't kill her
"Yeah, beside Regina was the all-time most popular girl at school. Im sure she had enemies everywhere. We just need to pick which ones hated her most" Rico says. They stop as Jo looks at him
"You said something smart for once"
"I did? Boy hanging out with you really hurting my buzz. Im gonna do something bad" Rico says entering the class. Jo and Danny kept walking as she chuckles
"He means well" she explains to him about Rico as Danny nods
"Its cool. This is us" he says entering the class. At lunch we see Archie sitting with Lacey as he was looking at Danny
"Babe, come on. Let this go" Lacey says convincing him. Archie shook his head
"No...i know he had something to do with Regina's death. If i wanted to. I would have stayed dead. Just to prove he is guilty" he admits to her. She doesn't really like it when people talk bad about Danny like that. But she still doesn't know if she can trust him or not. Danny was walking his way over to Jo but Archie puts his foot out almost making him trip on the floor but catches himself. He looks around as archie waves his hand like a "hi" kind of wave
"Already back from the 'dead' and still a bigger pain in my ass huh Archie?" Danny says getting to his feet. Archie chuckles standing up as the rest of the students look on like a fight was going to break out
"Looks like romeo could use some back up?" Rico says pointing to the crowded students piling in. Both Lacey and Jo try to force there way to find out what is going on
"Archie...come on. You don't need to do this" Lacey says knowing nothing good ever happens
"May want to listen to her Archie. "
"You think im scared of you Socio?" "Im not. You should have left when you had the chance" he says circling around the circle like they were ready to duke it out
"It's not like i had a choice of coming back"
"You had a choice on whether or not you killed Regina...guess which one you picked" Archie says pushing Danny who bumps into a few students but walks back in middle
"Danny come on. Your better than him" Jo says making Lacey look at her former best friend
"Excuse me?" How is Danny better than him? Unlike Danny he is not a murderer" Lacey says walking up to Jo obviously defending her boyfriend. Jo looks at Rico who shrugs his shoulders before walking up behind Danny
"How do you know that Lacey? For all we know Achrie could be the murderer and he's trying to frame Danny"
"You know what Jo, im glad were not friends anymore. Because it won't hurt me when i do this" she says attacking on Jo as Danny and Archie begin to fight as well. Students began yelling 'fight fight'. Just then they broke apart with the assist of security as well as the principle making his way in
"You four in my office...now!" he says. Before leaving in disappointment. Jo who was holding her head in pain from the catfight she got in with Lacey tried to calm herself down. Danny helped her up to her feet as they walked first. Archie helped Lacey as they followed. All four of them were sitting in the front office banged up,bruised,scratched. Archire looks at Lacey who nods her head as he whispered something before looking at Danny
"This is all your fault Socio"
"My fault? your the one who started the fight"
"You should learn how to keep your little sidekick on a leash" Archie says referring to Jo who looks at him about to speak, but the front door opens as we spot Lacey and Archie's parents who came out followed by Jo and Danny's. Archie and Lacey left first as Danny looks at Jo before they both get up as Karen looks at him
"You okay?" she asked him
"How much trouble am i in?" he asked. Karen smiles as they walk out of the school. Both Kyle and Jo havent said a word since they entered the car. Jo looks at him
"I know you been lying to me" he finally spoke to her once they stopped a red light
"W-what are you talking about?"
"I know you been seeing Danny behind my back"
"D-"
"No...i told you he's a bad influence on you. And im right." Take today for example. The Jo i know would not do anything like this"
"Danny is not a bad influence on me. Lacey is the one who started the fight. I was defending Danny"
"I don't care. I don't want you seeing him again. You understand me Jo?" he asked beginning to drive again. No answer came from her. She isn't going to turn her back on the only person who could possible help him get free. The ride remaind silent as he drives them home as it fades
