Hello interwebers, I know its been a while… I've just had some stuff to deal with. But I'm back and to celebrate, tada, a new story. It's been in my mind for a while and I hope you all enjoy it. I also have another story in store, but i need to do a bit more research before I put any of it out. And yes before you ask, I am continuing my other stories, so don't worry they are not on hold or not being worked on. Anyway enjoy.
Crabblesnitch had grown weary. Throughout his career, he could only seem to require students who couldn't keep their noses clean.
He couldn't help the sneer that replaced his normally uninterested frown; the new pupil in front of him just twisted his lips in such a way. Glazed over eyes showed her ignorance towards his usual paying attention to his informative speech was not the first strike she had received with the dean.
The first was the way she came about attending his pristine academy. It was all that unstable Gary Smith's fault. Because of that trouble maker, it allowed other students of mental instability to join this elite school. Bringing its name that much further through the dirt.
With another disdainful look at her person he decided to cut to the point. "Miss Verrazano, I feel the need to remind you of your attendance at my academy. Your father's sizable donation helped quite a bit, with your enrollment. In the long run, you should really be thanking a certain Gary Smith. It's because of him, or rather his grandparents, which I even considered letting you attend. The program you joined under was meant for him alone, but as I stated your father did give a large donation." Giving her one last look he decided he had done all he could for this, more than likely hopeless, girl. Waving her away, he watched as she shuffled out the door.
Leaving the dreary office, Maria went to the woman that had brought her to the office in the first place. She went by Miss Danvers and from what Maria observed; she was just an old shrew in love with Dr. Crabblesnitch. Brushing off her comments and obsession, she had just followed her to the stuffy office to get lectured by the pompous Dr. Crabblesnitch.
Now free of his withering glare she saw that a boy, in Bullworth uniform, was speaking to the high strung secretary. He wore the same blue sweater vest and brown slacks, as most of the other male students, but donned a pink dress shirt underneath. He was also shorter than the average male student and that immediately drew Maria to him.
Stepping to the boys left, he seemed startled by her close proximity. Miss Danvers abruptly stopped their conversation and turned her attention to the girl. Painting on a fake smile, she spoke. "You're just in time to meet your guide Miss Verrazano. This is Peter Kowalski, he is the head boy this year and I'm sure you will treat him with respect." Her smile became tight lipped by the end of her introduction.
Petey shook his head at the secretary actions and led the new student out of the main office. Holding out his hand he introduced himself. "Hi, I'm Peter, but you can call me Petey."
She study his hand for a moment, but didn't offer her's in return. "You're cute."
The blunt complement turned Petey into a blushing, mumbling mess. Never before had a female, let alone an attractive one, said anything like that to him. From her thick, wavy brown hair to her mossy green eyes this girl was quite the looker. Though she wasn't stick thin, like most girls wanted to be, she wasn't fat either. Prominent curves showed through her baggy t-shirt and jeans.
Maria couldn't help but grin at his reaction, he just looked so flabbergasted. Concluding that she had already tortured him to much, she introduced herself. "Hello, I am Maria Rosa Verrazano; it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." She bowed her head in respect, thinking back to the shrew's words of him being head boy.
Having gathered his wits, Petey smiled at how formal her introduction was. Though he was still put off by her earlier comment, he showed her around the campus. First he showed her where all of her classes where located, telling her he had English, Chemistry, and Gym with her. Then he showed her around the school, not forgetting to explain about the cliques.
By the time they reached the girl's dorms he noticed something. Although she had listened to him through the entire tour, he could tell she wasn't all there. It was almost like her body was there, but her mind wasn't. He found it odd, but not to off putting, hoping to become the girl's friend.
He was going to take her into the dorm, until a voice stopped him. A voice he was hoping he would never have to endure again. "Femme boy." He spun towards the sound and was shocked to see Gary Smith, strutting over in his Bullworth uniform. "What are you doing here Gary?" The shock in his voice was not masked.
With a harsh smirk Gary explained. "My grandparents paid my way back in, all I have to do is go to a weekly therapy session and take my meds. It's just that easy." Glancing at Maria, he gave her a once over, nodding his head in what seemed to be approval. "Who's this Petey, you finally get a girlfriend?"
Stepping defensively in front of Petey, she studied the new boy. Brown hair set in a fade out, chocolate brown eyes, an odd scar across his right brow and a firm jaw. He was almost a whole head taller than her, with a lean, but muscled frame. She concluded that he was relatively handsome, and then had a realization. "Gary, you wouldn't happen to be Gary Smith?"
Smirk growing wider he answered, "The one and only."
Nodding she decided she should introduce herself. "Hello, I am Maria Rosa Verrazano; it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I look forward to our therapy sessions together."
"Wait what?" It flew out of Gary's mouth before he had a chance to realize what he was saying. Staring at the girl's retreating form he just watched as she left for her dorm.
