Once we get to pops I hop off sweets bike and walks inside. "Hi Pop. How are you today?" I ask with a smile.

"I'm doing well thank you. How are you?"

"Pretty good." I say with a smile

"How are you today...I'm so sorry I forgot your name."

"It's ok my name is Sweetpea." He says  as he gently takes my hand in his.

"Sweetpea, right. Please forgive me if I forget your name. At my age my memory is a bit fuzzy." Pop says with a smile

"It's ok. I understand completely." Sweets says

"What can I get you both today?" Pop ask looking at us

"We are waiting on some more people."

"That's perfectly fine. Let me know when they are here." Pop says going to the kitchen

"We will." I say taking a seat at one of the empty booths with Sweets. "I can't believe I'm having lunch with a bunch of northsiders..." he mutters

"Be nice. They are not bad people. Cheryl and Archie have been my friends for years and V she moved here from New York a year ago and yes I have to admit I didn't trust her at first but, she is a good person."

"Ok..." Sweets says as the rest of the groups comes in.

"Hey guys. Over here." I say with a smile as everyone comes and sits down

"Shall we do introductions?" Cheryl asks

"Of course. Cheryl this is sweet pea, Fangs Forgerty and...

"Antoinette  Topaz. Put you can call me Toni" she says with a slight smile.

"Topaz like the gem stone." Cheryl says with a smile.

"Exactly red." Toni says slightly checking Cheryl out as pop come up to us.

"What can I get you all today." Pop asks walking up to us.

"I'll get a burger and fries." Jug says.

"Me too." Archie says

I'll have a strawberry milkshake and a Burger with curly fries and order whatever you all want I'm paying." Cheryl says.

Cher... I say looking at her

Your my bestie and it's your last lunch with me before you move to southside high. So I'm paying no arguing. Cheryl says.

Thank you Cher. I say

I'll have a burger and a chocolate milkshake.  Fangs  says

"I'll just have a vanilla milkshake." Sweet says

"I'll take a chocolate milkshake and fries" Toni says with a toothy smile.

"I'll just have fries and a vanilla milkshake please." I say with a smile.

"Coming right up." Pop say walking away

"So how was everyone's morning?" I ask

"Good. Practice in the morning from 6;30 till 8:50. Then just normal classes. How did the teachers react to you telling them your transferring?"Archie asks

"They were fine with it. How bout you jug?" I ask my brother

"Kinda shocked but they understood why. They wished us luck." Jug says

"We will be fine Jug. We're Jones's after all."

"I had two test this morning. One in English and the other in business" Veronica says

"So did Toni and I. Mine was in auto and phys Ed. Fangs says

"Mine were in English and phys Ed as well." Toni says

"Oh fangs I'm in your auto class." I say with a smile.

"Great who's showing you around Monday?" Fangs asks

"I am." Sweets says

"Are you scared to transfer M?" Veronica asks

"A little but it's something I have to do. I'm not safe at Riverdale high. You ok Arch you been awfully quiet this whole time." I say looking at him a bit worried

"I'm fine Mariah. I'm just in my own thoughts and wondering about something." He says

"Wondering about what?" Jug ask leaning forward against the the table.
