Forever And Always

Chapter 102

The rest summer vacation passed in a surreal haze for Callie. A couple more road trips with Sweet Pea, spending time with her family to mourn the death of her father, and hot summer with her best friends. Callie has dinner at Pop's every night she was home. Everyday Callie and Archie were getting better and better. 

 The day before Callie was working at Pop's, the door opened and in walked Melody and Valerie. 

"Hey, Cal," Melody greeted walking over to her.

"What can I do for you lovely ladies today?" Callie asked. "Coffee?"

"And a record deal?" Valerie requested.

"A one-way ticket out of this horror town?" Melody requested.

"Let's just start off with a cup of coffee before ditching this town for good," Callie laughed as she poured the coffee. 

"Let's not forget, we still have the senior year," Melody stated as they took a seat. "Applying anywhere?"

"We all know she's going to get into Harvard," Valerie stated.

"What about you ladies?" Callie asked leaning over the table.

"We are going to try for UCLA together," Melody answered.

"Sauve," Callie complimented.

That night, Callie was at the Veronica's house, she was with Archie, Veronica, Jughead, and Betty. Couples sat together. 

"You know I really can't imagine a better way to spend our last night of summer vacation," Betty stated holding her glass.

"Isn't it crazy?" Veronica asked. "In just nine months, life as we know it will be over."

"No more high school," Callie stated.

"No more Blue and Gold," Betty added. 

"No more detentions," Sweet Pea stated, Callie, looked up at him.

"No more heart-to-hearts at the lockers," Betty added. 

"Oh, B, don't be sad," Veronica gushed. 

"I'm sorry, guys," Veronica apologized. " I can't help but think life goes by so fast. And none of us are very good at stopping to savor it." She looked down at Jughead. "But tonight, we will be." They started to kiss. The coupes all separated, Archie and Veronica went into her room, Jughead and Betty stayed out in the opened, while Callie and Sweet Pea went all the way back to his trailer.

The next morning came around, Callie made sure they got to school as early as possible. They were now at her locker. She wore yellow black shorts, with a see-through yellow shirt, with a red tube top underneath. Her hair was down and curled. 

"Shortstop, tell me why we have to be early," Sweet Pea demanded. "It's the first day of senior."

"Exactly," Callie stated as she fixed her lipstick. "As my first day as a senior, I want to start better habits, such as showing up every day."

"Don't let your good habits break my bad ones," Sweet Pea said. Callie laughed, Sweet Pea turned her around, placing a passionate kiss on her lips.

"This is a hallway not the club," a  voice said. "They pulled apart to see a man in a suit, with glasses. "And this is your only warning wearing shorts that short again and I will send you home."

"Who's this uptight pencil?" Sweet Pea asked furrowing his eyebrows. 

"This uptight pencil,  is Principal Weatherbee's replacement, Mr. Honey," the man introduced himself. " I don't know what kind of a ship Waldo Weatherbee was running around here, but things are doing to be different this year. We'll have, order. Discipline. Consequences. Now stop the PDA and get out of my sight."
