Robin's POV
~~~
Waking up I look around suddenly the memories all came back to me. Fp stood for Forsythe Pendleton Jones the second and he was Jughead's father. I got drunk and ended up crashing in his trailer and I shamelessly made comments about him. "Good you're awake" I look at the man who was sitting at his small kitchen table sipping a cup of coffee "Want some?" he asked swinging a coffee pot around I smile "Sure" I agree. He grabbed a cup from the covert and came over to the couch handing me the cup while I sipped on it. "You don't remember anything from last night?" He asked...I should lie right? I chuckled "No. I'm sorry if anything I said was inappropriate" I say while he nods "Good" I hear him mumble walking away to the table again.

A half an hour later I was sitting in my room applying my makeup. That's when I got a text from Betty asking if I could pick her up. Agreeing I made my way out the door and to my car seeing Archie and Betty both walking down the street. I rolled down my window pulling up beside them "Would have been nice to know you ditched me for Andrews Betts" I say while they laugh "Hop in" I stop the car as Archie and Betty get in the car. "It's horrible what happened to Jason" I hear Betty say I look in the rear view mirror confused at her "What happened to Jason besides him dying?" I ask. Archie speaks up "You don't know? Kevin found Jason's body washed up on the river's edge and he was shot in the head" Archie explains while I fidget with my fingers on the steering wheel. "Jesus poor dude" I say while parking in the parking lot of Riverdale High.

Seeing Jughead and Archie talking near Jason Blossom's locker I go up to them. "What's your next class Juggy?" I ask him "PE...hey think I could use Jason as an excuse to get out of it? I'm sorry coach I'm just too depressed and freaked out to do pull ups" Jughead jokes while I let out a small chuckle. "Don't joke about Jason" Archie says while I chew my lip "Sarcasm is like Jugs superpower" I say while he nods "Yeah what she said" Jughead agrees. Jug lets out a disgusted scoff "Look it's the rich kids from the goonies" I look down the hallway seeing Reggie and other football players coming down the hallway. I start to turn away while Archie starts a conversation "Where'd you go last night?" he asked while I sighed "Got drunk passed out somewhere and then went home and came here in short" I answer while he smirks "Reggie kicked your ass didn't he?" I scoff "As if...maybe..fine yes" I confess bitterly.

"How was the dance with Betty and Veronica?" I ask while he sighs "Not well at all...I feel like I blew it with Betty for a while, but we're good now" he smiled. "Oh well that's good? I guess" he nods "I got to get to class" Seeing as the bell had rang I had to get to my class as well. I hated PE. "Robin Lecter please report to the principal's office" I groan in annoyance, but haul my ass to the office. "Apparently there was a mess up in your schedule Ms Lecter I hope you understand" Mr Weatherbee didn't sound interested while I nodded "Cool is that all?" I ask he nods "Yes you are dismissed" I smile walking towards my new class.

Walking in the door I saw one spot opened by Jughead. I sat beside him staring disgusted at the dead frog in the tray. "You get switched too?" He asks while I nod "Uh huh" he smirks "Well at least I won't be alone with these bimbos" he motions over to two girls who weren't very smart at....anything. I avoided looking at the frog with a disgusted look on my face "Who knew you were squirmish" Jughead laughed at my face "Pfft me? Squirmish? Give me that" I grabbed the blade from him and sliced through the frog feeling the inside against the blade. I let out a long breath not wanting to look at the frog until I feel a hand on mine prying the blade away "You alright? You look greener than the frog" he jokes. I push the tray towards him "I need a minute" I go up to the teacher and ask the teacher to go to the bathroom.

Leaning against the wall I rub my forehead "Robby you alright?" I hear Jughead, looking up I shake my head. "No maybe I am a little squirmish" I admit while he smiles "I'll finish the project on my own you can go home...I'll tell the teach know you weren't feeling well" He smirks. I thank him while walking out of the school. Crossing the tracks in my car I turn up the rock music flowing from the speakers. Rolling up to Southside High I look at other teenagers that are pouring something from a coloured straw shaped tube into their mouths.

Seeing Toni hanging out with the serpents I walk over to them. The laughter died down when I walked up "What's going on?" I ask while Toni smiles "Sweat Pea was just telling us what he did on the weekend" She says while he gives me a curt nod. "Did you get in?" she asks while I smile "uh huh it was easy all he did was say that I was in" She raises an eyebrow laughing "Really? You think it's that easy? No you got another thing coming there are trials" she says. I get pushed by somebody "Hey!" I say angrily he just ignores me and continues walking, but I can't help noticing he had a problem down below and was swaying a lot. "What's up with that dude?" I ask Toni.

"He's on the JJ" she doesn't go into detail "The what?" Sweet Pea speaks up "The JJ? Jingle Jangle?  You haven't heard of it? Well It's a drug around here exclusively on this side of town and it's basically an acid trip" He answers. "Intense" I say curiosity starting to tempt me. "Serpents don't ever touch it though" Sweet Pea says while I nod along pretending to agree to the obvious warning. After the bell had rang for Southside High I went over to the boy I saw before with the problem. "Hey think you could hook me up with a sample?" I ask he smirks "What's in it for me?" I shrug "How about me not telling my gang that you forced me to take some" his eyes go wide in realization. "Here it's all I have on me" he passes me the sticks of Jingle jangle and rushed down the hallway.

Stuffing the sticks into my pocket I stroll out of the school. Seeing some people by my car I pick up speed jogging over to them "Damn girl you got a nice rod" Sweet Pea says while I mumble a "Thanks" and go over to the drivers side. "Boys and girls if you don't mind I gotta run" I say while they step away from the car and I speed back to the Northside. Getting a call from Jughead I answer "Archie was with Grundy this summer we have to confront him meet me in front of his house in a few hours" Jughead says into the phone, hanging up. Great just what I needed I think turning around and heading towards the drive in.

Seeing Jughead outside of the projector room I get out of the car. "Jug what the hell?" I ask him while he makes gestures with his hands "So I saw Archie and Grundy in the music room and they looked really close...like how a teacher and a student shouldn't be and we have to tell Archie before he gets hurt" he gives me a look for validation. "Yeah totally man can't believe that cougar" I agree with him while he rants about how if he was still friends with Archie he could have helped him avoid this situation. "We really should confront him" I say even though I was in a position like Archie's when I was fifteen with the previous leader of the Southside Serpents. "Great, so pick me up here in a couple of hours and then we'll go and confront him together" I give him a fake smile while agreeing and get back in my car.

Getting a text from Betty asking why I missed cheerleading tryouts I curse lying on my bed. I text her that I forgot and sigh. Feeling something jab my thigh I reach into my pocket seeing the jingle jangle I hadn't consumed yet. Looking at the time I had half an hour left until I would go see Jughead "A little wouldn't hurt" I open the jingle jangle and start to pour a mouthful and swallow the bitter taste. By the time it was time to leave I couldn't walk straight or put in my keys properly into the ignition, because of my shaky hands.

Finally making it to Archie's house I step up to the two boys who were currently arguing. "Guys stop it isn't good" I stand in between them "Archie you need to stop seeing that cougar it'll only end badly" I tell him while he looks beyond annoyed "Oh right 'cause you know all about this right? You know nothing about me or her" he says his voice raising. "I know a lot of things and I know you'll only end up getting hurt" I snap back while Jughead goes to walk away Archie stops him. "If either of you tell anyone about this" Jughead cuts him off "You'll what? What are you going to do?" he asks Archie. The door opens and out comes Fred "Hey Jug, Robby, you coming in? Got take out from Pop's" Archie stares at Jug then turns to me "They were just leaving" he says while I and Jughead begin to walk away from the Andrew's residence.

Jughead noticed me stumbling putting an arm around my waist. "Are you high?" He asked as I chuckled "Noooo" I drag out the "O's" and he sighs. "Want to crash at the drive in with me?" He offers while I nod "My mom will kill me if she sees me like this" Jughead pulled me along with him to the drive in. I proceeded to sleep on the floor until Jughead said I could take the bed "No I insist you're kinda my guest" he says while taking a few extra blankets and curling up on the floor. "Goodnight Juggy" I turn over facing the wall, but can't sleep.

When I walked out of the drive in I didn't have a clue what I was going to do. All I knew was that I needed to burn some energy. Walking along the side of the road I hear loud rap music coming from cars passing by and curses shouted at me. I hold up my middle finger lazily to the car and let out a curse "I hate the nighttime" I say to myself still walking for what felt like a hundred miles. Walking along a path I realize I had made it into fox forest.

I had time to kill and I was in need of a booster to keep me awake. Taking out my last stick of jingle jangle I consume it quickly and flop down on a bench. A few minutes later I was already feeling the effects of the drug and was on high alert. That's when I heard footsteps coming closer and closer and beginning to get louder and louder. Looking up at the person, or should I say man, I quickly toss the stick of jingle jangle behind me.

"Hey sheriff" I smile as he stops jogging sweat trickling down his forehead "Robin? What are you doing out here so late? and don't you live on the other side of town?" he asks while I shrug "I was just walking and found myself here" I say motioning to the forest. "What are you doing out here Sheriff?" I ask while he chuckles "Jogging" I nod "Right...kinda a dumb question" I say while a silence hangs over us. "Well" he starts lifting his shirt to wipe the sweat off his forehead while I quickly glance at his body. "I better go got work in the morning" he says taking off jogging down the path. All I'm gonna say....is that the sheriff could arrest me anytime.

Don't know what time it was when I made it to the Whyte Wyrm, but it seemed alive from the outside judging by how many serpents were outside smoking and the lights were on in the bar. Going into the bar I found myself greeted with Joaquin making out with a random serpent while making his way out of the door, moving aside, I marched farther into the bar. Smiling while walking up to the bartender I ordered a beer seeing it was a can of root beer. "What's this?" I ask the man who pointed behind me "Cutting you off, I don't need another accident because you can't hold your drink" Fp said sitting down beside me. The bartender passed him a beer and he opened it quickly taking a sip of it. "Unfair if you ask me" he chuckles "I don't think so" He says while I roll my eyes opening the can of root beer.

"Fp" He turns to me "I heard from Toni that I'm not a full serpent that there are trials" He takes a sip of his beer. "Yes there are, but I don't think you could handle it" I snatch the beer bottle from him "Really? Just 'Cause I'm a girl you don't think I can take your stupid trials?" I ask offended. "No it's not that it's just a pretty thing like you shouldn't have to go through such things" he says while I look at him surprised "Uh thanks" I try hard not to blush and look away at the other serpents around the bar. Feeling his presence leave my side I get up following him around "You're clingy" he comments while I frown "And you're blunt" I respond. He shakes his head going over to a pool table "Alright I'll make a bet if you win I'll let you take the trials, but if I win you don't" he smiles while I shake his hand "Deal" I answer.

I won the game. "Alright your trials will start in a week" I smile "Thank You" I smirk "You won't be thanking me later" he muttered taking a gulp of his beer and trudging through the mess of people up to the loft. I was confused by what he meant...were the trials really that bad? I thought while going over to an empty seat and sitting down looking around at all the Serpents with their tattoos flaunting from different places on their bodies. Hopefully I don't have to get a tattoo...I hate needles.
