Y/ns POV
(This is after the Serpents came to Riverdale)
School starts in a few seconds for me. I'm the new chick at Riverdale High who's gonna start literally in the middle of the year. Yay. (Hint the sarcasm.) I walk in through the doors. I'm met by a chick with pink highlights and a camera around her neck. "Hi. You must be Y/N Y/L/N. I'm Toni Topaz and just let me tell you girl, you've been the talk of the town for like 3 weeks." She says and I nod, keeping my mouth shut. I know that if I open my loud mouth here I'm gonna get my butt kicked. Toni shows me around the school, tells me the do's and don'ts, and helps me with my locker. I'm pretty sure I'm just gonna be alone. Even if me and Toni have become some what friends. I go through several classes and when it's lunch, I sit at the very back and keep to myself. About halfway through lunch, Toni and two other dudes come up to me and sit in front of me. I was doodling in my notebook and finally finished a picture I had been drawing.

I close my notebook and stare up at the three. "Hi Toni. And two other other dudes that I don't know." I say with sarcasm. "Hi Y/n. These are my friends Fangs and Sweet Pea." Toni says and Fangs looks like he's about to kill me. "Why does that one hate me already?" I ask, pointing to Fangs. "I don't hate you," he spits out. "I just don't think it's fair that Sweet Pea here, will make best friends with you while I have to wait a month before actually getting to hang out with you." Fangs crosses his arms and pouts. "Okay, chill. I will want to get to know you all at the same time. Not separate." I say scooting my notebook over. Toni grabs it and opens to my recent drawing. (The pic before.) I take a sharp breath when her eyes go wide. "Did you draw this?" She asks, drawing in Fangs and Sweet Peas attention. "Yeah." I blush and look down. I don't really want people to know I can draw because I don't really like attention. I can feel there eyes staring at me and I slowly pull my sleeves up over my wrist a little bit further. The bell rings and I grab my notebook, throw it in my bag and walk very fast out the door without saying a word to any of them.

The rest of the day goes by slowly and I have several things on my mind. Before lunch, I had ran into some bulldogs and we didn't have the best encounter.

•FlashBack•
"Hey Y/n! You look terrible today! Did you even bother to brush out your hair? Iron your clothes? Put on at least a little makeup? Anything? What a pig." One of them says and they all walk away laughing at me. I feel terrible and you let a tear slip but quickly wipe it away. I then head to lunch with their terrible comments floating around in my head.
•End Of Flashback•

Their words are still floating in my head. I just got here and I'm already getting bullied. The final bell rings and I sprint out of class and into my car. I had parked it in the very back, yes it was a long walk, but my car was my baby and I would never let anyone put a scratch on it without their head getting bashed in.

I start up the engine and speed off. I don't drive home, I don't really want to be alone right now. I drive to SweetWater River, my mom had said that it was very isolated and that I might like it. I sit on the edge of the water and watch as the ripples in the water slowly come toward my feet. It's very peaceful and isolated so I guess that my mom was right. I think about many, many, many things. Well, not really. I more think about what those guys said. It's really getting to me and I don't know why they said it. What had I done to them? Why did they do it? I didn't say anything to them, why would they even talk about me or to me? Are the things they say the truth? I pull my feet to my chest and and lay my head on my knees. I haven't been eating lately, I had lost about 20 pounds, so I'm not that fat. I always take time on my hair in the morning. I iron my clothes every night and morning. I put makeup on. I always think I look good but I guess I don't. I mean that Sweet Pea guy didn't say anything to me. Did he think the same things those guys did? Does he still? A million thoughts are zooming through my head.

When I finally calm my thoughts down, I check the time on my phone and see that it's 7:23 pm. I stand up and get back in my car. I drive to my house and pull into the driveway. I walk into the big, empty house. My parents won't be back for a few days since their on a business trip. I walk into my plain bedroom and lay on the bed, staring up at the ceiling and again, thinking. My thoughts are soon interrupted to tiny rocks hitting my window. I walk to the window, open it and look down. It's Toni, Fangs and Sweet Pea. "Hey Y/n." Toni says. "What are you guys doing here? How did you know where I lived?" I ask. "One, you'll see. Two, we followed you around all day." Fangs answers. "I have a doorbell guys. My parents aren't here." I say and close the window. I walk back downstairs and open the door. They all come in and I lead them into the kitchen. "Y'all want anything to drink?" I ask, opening the fridge. "Soda." Fangs says. "Water." Toni answers. "Soda." Sweet Pea says. I raise my eyebrow at him. "So you do speak?" I smirk and grab them all their drinks. "Yeah he usually never shuts up." Fangs says and chuckles. "Shut it Fogarty." Sweet Pea warns and me and Toni laugh. Fangs laughs and I slide them all their drinks like I work at bar. "Show off." Toni says and chuckles. I smile. "So Y/n, where's your parents?" Fangs asks. "Business trip. They'll be home in about 6 days." I explain and shrug. "So you'll be here by yourself?" Sweet Pea questions. "Yep. I'm an only child." I sigh. "Why did you open up your home to us Serpents so quickly?" Toni asks. "My dad told me about the thing between The NorthSide and SouthSide but I don't really car. I think it's quite stupid. The SouthSide Serpents are obviously a family and what am I to question it? I think it's sweet. You all look out for each other. The NorthSiders claim to be a family and they don't have to change so why does the SouthSide? Cause they dress differently? Cause they have a different way of looking at life? Everyone's different. We all need to except that." I explain grabbing snacks out of the pantry. When I look back at the three, they are all staring at me with wide eyes. "What?" I ask sitting chips and chocolate in front of them. "No one has ever said that. Ever." Toni says and I shrug. "It's the truth." I shrug. "Your really cool." Fangs says, standing up and walking over to me, hugging me tightly. I'm startled at first but then hug him back. "Aww Fangs." Toni says and does a cute little face. "I want one now too." Sweet Pea says and stands up. He walks over to me and wraps me in his arms. I hug his torso since he's so much taller than me. "So you don't think those things about me." I mumble into him, hoping to god he didn't hear me. Something about him makes me feel safe, makes me not want to pull away. He doesn't seem to want to pull away either so I just keep my arms wrapped around him. Fangs walks up behind Sweet Pea, grabbing my arms, and pulling down my sleeves. "Fangs!" Toni and Sweet Pea yell at the same time. I try to jerk away but he has a good grip and it only leaves me to struggle. He notices the scars right away. I had been cutting my entire life, it helps me with stress and everything else that has ever happened to me. "Y/n, did you do this?" Fangs asks. I jerk my arm away and pull my sleeves back up. "Did she what?" Sweet Pea asks, eyeing me. "Show them." Fangs says. "No. No one can know! No one!" I yell running up to my room. I lock the door and collapse on my bed, crying my eyes out. A few minutes later I hear a soft knock on my door. "Go away." I cry. "Y/n please let me in. I know I don't know you that well, but you can trust me I promise." Sweet Pea says gently. I sniffle and stand up. I walk over to my door and unlock it. I slowly open it to see Sweet Pea with soft eyes and a warm little smile. "What do you want Sweet Pea?" I ask, going to close my door. "I haven't answered Y/L/N."  He says, putting his foot in the door. I sigh and sit back down on my bed. "What's wrong?" He asks. "What do you think?" I scoff. "What Fangs did was wrong. But now that we all know, might as well tell us." Sweet Pea suggests. "Fine. Do you know the NorthSide Bulldogs?" I ask. "Yes." "Well, on my first day, I met them. It wasn't fun. They insulted me and just made me feel absolutely terrible about myself. I swear Sweet Pea in that time I just wanted to die. I haven't been eating lately, I have cut my entire life to deal with stress. I'm just a really messed up freaking person." I explain as several tears fall down my face. Sweet Pea hugs me and Fangs and Toni, who had obviously bee ease dropping, run in and hug me as well. I hug them back and they all comfort me through out the night.

When I wake up, it's early. Toni is sleeping beside me, with Fangs and Sweet Pea on the floor sleeping peacefully. I smile remembering how helpful and sweet all of the Serpents had been last night, and when we had all promised to be life long friends, no matter what. I get up and tippy toe to my closet. I wear this outfit.

I do my hair like this.

And put on some converse. (Don't have a pic cause ya girl is very, very lazy.) I walk over to Toni and lightly shake her, she stirs at little at first before sitting up. I let her borrow one of my outfits. She wakes up Sweet Pea and Fangs while I go downstairs and make some pancakes for us. They come down about 15 minutes later and Sweet Pea sits on the counter beside me. I look up at him and smile while he eyes the pancakes. Fangs and Toni sit at the counter. I give Sweet Pea his pancakes and Toni and Fangs theirs. I decide to have some myself. Fangs and Sweet Pea give me and each other a look that means they are happy I'm eating. I turn on the TV and we watch cartoons until time for school. I give Toni a ride, since she didn't want to ride with Fangs again. When we arrive, I see the bulldogs and walk a little bit closer to Sweet Pea. Something about him makes me feel safe, plus last night he had promised he would always take care of me no matter what. He grabs my arm and holds me tight. "Would you look at that. Pig over their is with Serpent trash? Wow, who knew she could sink so low." One of them says and I look down. "What did you just say about her Mantle?!" Sweet Pea asks getting all up his face. "Get out of here thug." The guy spits out. I've had enough and my anger is getting to me. "Don't call him a thug." I snap, getting closer. "What did you just say to me?" He asks, over towering me. I look up and stare into his eyes with a cold glare. "I said don't call my friends thugs. You'll regret it." I threaten. "You'll be the only one regretting anything if you don't get out of my face." They threaten back. "Try me. Cause guess what, I'm a girl. So, if you win, you'll be the guy that beat up a girl, but if I win, you'll be the guy who got beat up by a girl. So you're screwed either way." I smirk and he backs away. He spits across my face and Sweet Pea goes to lunge but Fangs holds him back. I wipe it off and put it on the Bulldogs leather man jacket. I walk inside the school and straight into the bathroom. I'm starting to feel sick to my stomach and it's getting harder to breathe. I take deep breaths and it's kinda helping, but not much. Toni walks in and puts an arm around me trying to calm me down. "It's okay Y/n. You did the right thing. Come on calm down." She pats my back but it's still not helping. I don't feel the thing I need to calm down. It's this empty feeling I get where I just need that one little thing to feel whole. I put my hand to my head as I feel a headache coming on and I still can breathe like I want to. "Hold on let me go get Fangs and Sweet Pea." Toni says and runs out of the bathroom. I sit on the floor and try not hyperventilate. A few minutes later Sweet Pea and Toni walk in. "Fangs is watching outside to make sure nobody comes in." Sweet Pea reassures me and sits down next to me. I nod slightly. Sweet Pea puts his arm around me and holds me close. "Y/n, you did the right thing. Your okay." I suddenly feel..whole. That empty space has been filled by...Sweet Pea. I look into his eyes and feel something I have never seen before. Love. Sweet Pea loves me. "Sweet Pea..I..um..I." I stutter before I'm cut off by Sweet Pea kissing me. I kiss back softly. He pulls away after a minute. I smile and that's when I realized, Sweet Pea is the one.

A/N: Ugh finally!!! Sorry for the long wait but he's the final thingy-ma-bob.
