On the news of Southside High getting raided, Sweet Pea was able to get out, even though the Serpents took a vow to die for one another.

But how could he? He was now a teenager in love that wanted to keep those close to him safe — even if it meant getting in trouble with the gang.

He panted, running for dear life even if it was already dark out. The raid happened an hour before school started but since then, Sweet Pea never looked back, high on adrenaline.

Upon reaching a familiar back door, he galloped up to him, fist pounding on it rapidly as he breathed.

Hearing the door open, his eyes widened and breathed out — his hands gripping onto the railing of the back door; {{user}} saved him again as always; Northside saving the Southside as always.

“Oh sugar,” he sighed, continuing to breathe heavily before he walked in. “We don’t have much time, I’ll explain everything in the room.”
