Mad Mad World

Chapter One: Unleashed

Summary: My ending of Bully the way it should have happened. Gary/Petey.

Warnings: Slashy overtones

Petey's POV

I've been planning my break from Bullworth for a couple of hours now. The observatory tunnels are a no go because there's no possible way I can get to the observatory from the back of the library, or go through the football field because it's completely swamped with crazy, rioting students fighting each other.

God what am I gonna do? How the hell am I going to get out of here? There's more than likely no way out that isn't covered in blood soaked teenagers tearing each other to shreds.. Jimmy should be back soon but I haven't seen him all day so chances are he's out with that Zoe chick or still trying to get a group together to take down Gary.

Maybe people won't notice me. I'm not a member of any clique, by any means. I might get a few eggs thrown at me but I can get out of here on the cook's bike if the gate's still open. And besides, if Gary was going to do something about me, he would have done it already. Obviously he doesn't think I'm a threat or I would be chained in the basement by now or something.

No. Escaping through the front gate would be to obvious in case Gary DID have something special planned for me. Which wouldn't suprise me any if he did. He does pick on me a lot. Hopefully I can hold my own against Gary again until Jimmy shows up.

God. I'm talking in circles. This must be how Gary is in his own head when he doesn't take his meds. No wonder he's slipped up so bad with this plan. I mean, let's face it. Jimmy getting expelled worked for Jimmy because he had more time to devote to taking down Gary. He met that Zoe chick, gained the respect of the Townies, and now he has at least one group following him. It's only a matter of time before he arrivesd with the calvary.

But even then, it's only a matter of time before they take the Boy's Dorm as well as they did every building on campus. There's nowhere that's safe. Except maybe the basement of the school or the burned out gym. But, why take any chances? It's a long way to the school and even longer way to the gym. You know what? Fuck it. I'm gone. I don't care how many times I get my ass handed to me. I want out of this goddamn hellhole.

I rip off my vest and my pink shirt. I don't bother with my tie because it was too much of a hassle. I walk over to my drawer and pull out an old gray wifebeater. I smile. I haven't seen this thing in a long time. It's still pretty tight and makes me look a lot more muscular than I really am. But I really don't have time for vanity right now so I slip it on and shut my drawer.

I take off my slacks and put on some jeans that I can actually breathe in. I need to be able to run like hell out here and I can't do it in slacks. They suck. I catch a look at myself in the full length mirror I have that Gary likes to bother me about. I look well...not that bad. But, again. I really don't have time for vanity right now. I give my reflection a half smile and walk out of my room.

The phone ringing in the common room stops me dead in my tracks. It's a payphone, so it doesn't have caller ID. I'm hoping it's Jimmy trying to get a hold of someone here. I rush to the phone and pick it up, "Jimmy? Is that you?"

"Miss your boyfriend already femmeboy?" Gary's charming voice chides on the other end of the line. The normal chill I usually get from that voice was replaced by something else. Repressed anger at Gary, annoyance that someone had interrupted his plans, and plain cockiness had boiled up to the point where I can't take it anymore.

"Sorry. That manwhore blew his chance with me. I'd say you still have one but you're not much better. On or off your meds." My voice sounds cheerful at the moment. Cocky. Stupid.

"Oh don't worry sweetie. When the time comes I WILL have you." Gary was kind of laughable now. This is getting pathetic. I'm wasting valuable time, talking to the person I'm trying to get away from.

"Yeah yeah I've heard it all before. What are you going to say next? And the time is drawing near? What are you wearing I'm gonna rip it off? Come on. Get some new material. You're starting to be a broken record."

"Yeah but I bet you're still feeling scared, right? That chill you get. That involuntary shudder of fear and lust. I've been watching you for a long time Petey. And I like what I see. So, answer my question? Are you afraid?"

This was it. My ultimate way to piss Gary off. "No. Bored." I hang up the phone and I can just picture him sputtering and getting all worked up. He's pissed alright, which probably wasn't a good idea considering it's him I'm trying to get away from.

I walk over to my window, which as a pretty decent view of the school over the bushes and the many gates, suprisingly. I saw the door open and slam close. Oh lord, it's Gary. And he looks furious. I do a little I-Pissed-Gary-Off-And-I-Really-Should-Get-Out-Of-Here dance. It was interrupted when I heard banging on the front doors. Oh, shit.

"Oh Femmeboy! Got a little suprise for ya! Now come out peacefully or I won't have to give it to you by force. Trent, stop banging on the doors. You're gonna break em and I want to give Pete an actual chance here to go willingly with me. Now I'm going to count to five and you better be opening the door by five or else Trent here is going to break it in and I'm gonna come in there and take your adorable ass myself."

I had already slipped out the window and taken off running towards the school by the time Trent busted in the door.
