New Beginnings

Welcome to Riverdale High

"Girls! Get your asses down here, you don't need to be late on your first day!" Alice practically screamed from the stairs. It was hopefully going to be their first day at Riverdale High, if anything didn't screw up their enrolment, and she didn't need poor punctual skills to ruin that.

"If you're not down here in 10 seconds I'm selling all of your stuff!" She yelled again as she got no response the first time.

"Alright I'm coming!" Polly screamed back. A little while later her and her sister were coming down the stairs with their backpacks in hand and with unimpressed looks on their faces.

"Fix your faces. I told you to be ready in half an hour and that was an hour ago." Alice told both of them.

"But why? The schools only ten minutes away." Betty argues

"Yeah but we've got an enrolment meeting before hand and I don't want anything screwing this up." She informed them as she took Tyler out of his high chair and held him on her hip.

"Right get in the car, I wanna get this shit over with." She said to the two of them. She grabbed her purse and followed them out the door towards her car outside, meeting Fred, Archie and Veronica on the way.

"Morning guys!" Fred waves as he notices them.

"Hey Fred!" Alice greets back. "I'd stop and chat but I've gotta get these two to school ASAP." She says gesturing to Polly and Betty who are already strapped in the car.

"They can catch a ride with us, it's no trouble." He kindly offers.

"Thanks but I've got an enrolment meeting with the principal and he sounded like a hard ass on the phone so." Alice jokes

Fred laughs in response. "He's not that bad honestly. Weatherbee's an easy going guy."

"Well I hope so." Alice responds.

"Hermione was gonna come by and ask you later but I might as well ask now. Do you wanna come over for dinner tonight?" He asks kindly.

"Yeah, sure. That sounds great. See you later." Alice says to him before entering her vehicle and driving off towards Riverdale High.

The minute she pulled up she noticed that the kids at this school looked much more prissy and stuck up than the kids back in Boston. No doubt they all came from middle class families and and good homes. Stark contrast from her girls.

She sighed to herself as she thought about that but was interrupted by Betty tapping her shoulder.

"What?" She asks her youngest.

"Don't forget, Tyler can't nap past 2 pm or he won't go down tonight." Betty informs her mother.

"Betty, I am quite capable of dealing with a baby's sleep schedule. You think it was a picnic with you two? Trust me, far from it."

They all exit the car and walked towards the schools main entrance. As they did, the girls noticed a few catcalls and milf references towards their mother that go unnoticed by Alice herself.

It caused them to roll their eyes and sigh. It's not that they weren't used to it, it happened all the time in Boston, they just thought here would be different at least.

They made their way to reception where they were directed towards the principals office and waited outside.

Alice lightly tapped her finger nails on the bench while Polly began to text and Betty bounced Tyler on her lap.

"Why do I feel like everyone's staring?" The youngest Smith asked as she noticed a whole bunch of funny looks towards her coming from the cheerleaders in the corner. She silently gave them the finger in response, which easily got them out of the way.
