Gary was now in front of Ms. Danvers' desk when a girl came charging in.p
"Hey! Where the hell is the Crab?" She knocked on the books in front of Danvers.
"I beg yo-"
"You fucking heard me! I am in no mood to play footsie with you morons today. Where is the pervert, so I can move on with my life?" The black haired girl quickly said sounding quite calm.
Ms. Danvers went to say something, but stopped and went into Dr. Crabblesnitch's office.
The girl sighed and turned slightly, leaning her elbow on the desk.
He skirt went down to her knees, but were slit on both side, held together by hand sewn in black leather and sterling silver buckles.
She wore fishnets under that with knee high buckle up boots.
Her shirt had its sleeves rolled up to the middle of her upper arm and was unbuttoned to reveal a black tank top.
What Gary found most intriguing about the rebel was that he could see peaks of bright red lace from the top of her tank top.
She had quite a few necklaces draped elegantly around her neck, one was a studded dog collar, black, and the other ha a skull on it.
Her wrists and hands were decorated similarly.
He then noticed tat she had bright purple and white streaks in her hair and the palest skin Gary had ever seen.
She glanced over at Gary and he watched as her left eye brow rose in question.
Gary was almost immediately stunned by the bright blue of this girl's eyes and the natural red of her lips.
"Like what you see?" She asked.
Gary sneered, "Not in the least."
She chuckled, "Good... Males are idiots."
"Oh, nonsense, Miss DeNicolo! Mr. Smith? Dr. Crabblesnitch will see you now." Ms. Danvers said urgently.
Gary smirked triumphantly at the girl and went into the double doors.
He could hear her hollering at Ms. Danvers, but didn't really care.
"Ah... Aubry DeNicolo... Enchanting young brutish lady, wouldn't you agree, Mr. Smith?" Crabblesnitch chuckled.
"Very." Gary replied.
"She often gives my faculty head aches and heart attacks... any ways, seeing as how you have recovered over these two years, I discussed you returning to Bullworth Academy for your final year with your parents.
"They seemed thrilled with the idea and gladly paid for the two years you were supposed to be here and this year." He snickered evilly.
"I suggest you not waste your parents' money, Gar-"
Just then, the door was kicked open and Aubry pointed at Crabblesnitch, "Where the fuck is my iPod, Crab?!"
Gary hid his smirk at the rambunctious girl.
"Miss DeNicolo?!" Ms. Danvers cried, only to receive the finger and horrid glare.
"Stupid Watts took it from my bag just to be a fag! Now give it back to me! I already interrogated Watts for it. He said you have it... I want it, now." She growled dangerously.
Danvers gripped Aubry's right arm as she moved towards the silent and smug Crabblesnitch, only to get shaken off so hard she fell to the ground.
Aubry's boots exclaimed her anger quite appropriately as she stalked to his desk.
"I want answers... It won't be safe until I have my iPod back in my hands unharmed and un-tampered with."
"I am afraid I can't help you there, Miss DeNi-"
Aubry gripped his suit jacket and hauled him easily out of his chair, "You think you perverted words can affect me after hearing you whore's mouth run on and on?"
Her voice was barely above a whisper, but Gary could not help but smile evilly t her gull.
"Release me and I will give you your iPod." Crabblesnitch mustered up courage badly as it was perfectly clear that Aubry was some one you don't fuck with.
"You will give me my iPod or you will be oh so sorry..." She smirked.
Crabblesnitch slowly reached into his right pocket and placed a black iPod closer to the edge of his desk and the door.
"Good boy." She sneered and released him abruptly, causing him to stumble.
She snatched her device and gave her own triumphant smirk to Gary, then vanished.
Later, when Gary left the school building, he found Aubry chatting with Zoe Taylor.
As he swept down the stairs, ignoring the stares, he over heard, "I swear, cousin... If your boyfriend weren't the so called 'King'..." She didn't finish because the two were now looking at Gary, who stood beside them both.
"Can we help you?" Both asked in unison.
Gary smirked, "So, Zoe..."
Zoe turned to Aubry and whispered, "How does he know my name?"
Aubry shrugged.
"How is Hopkins?" Gary finished.
"Why don't you ask me, Gary?" Called a familiar voice, to which Gary turned with a smirk.
"Ah... If it isn't my old buddy, Hopkins! Speak of the devil, huh?" Gary said calmly.
Jimmy glanced back at Zoe, who he was now about 3 inches taller than, and Aubry, "Ladies? Is this fool bothering you?"
"Awe... C'mon, James! Is that any way to treat an old friend?" Gary said snidely.
A slender arm with sharp studs wrapped around Gary's shoulders, pressing the studs to his neck, "No problem as of yet, Jimmy." Aubry's voice coed from over Gary's right shoulder.
Jimmy chuckled as he opened his arm to Zoe, who was grinning.
"Careful, Gary... She's rough... But I think you, of all people, would like it. C'mon babe." Jimmy then turned, leading Zoe off.
Gary felt Aubry's chin rest on his right shoulder and her head tilt, then, when Jimmy and Zoe were out of sight, she pulled away from Gary.
"You should be more careful, or next time, I may just have to nick you, Gary." Aubry smiled after stepping around Gary to be in front of him.
Gary was confused at first, but the gave an honest and nice smirk in response to her smile.
"I'll keep that in mind, Aubry." Gary said easily.
She nodded, "Good." and began to walk off.
Gary rushed after her, "Wait, wait... I would like to get to know my psychopathic competition on campus..."
Aubry snorted, "There is no competition, Gary. I am head psycho around here... End of discussion."
"Hey! I tried to kill Hopkins! I think I qualify."
Aubry stopped and glanced at Gary, then glanced around, "Pool Bleachers, 9:30 pm. Do not be late."
Then she rushed off, leaving Gary happy... In a sense.
Later that night, Gary approached the bleacher stairwell to find Jimmy attempting to woe Aubry.
"I'm not interrupting anything, am I?" Gary asked, stepping closer to the way up.
Jimmy sighed, bowing his head as his hands held Aubry's wrists against each wall of the corner she was trapped in.
"Get lost, Smith." Jimmy spat.
"No can do, Hopkins... I've an important date." Gary retorted easily.
"Well, he isn't here, so go fuck yourself." Jimmy growled, turning to glance back at Gary, not daring let go of the spit fire caged between his body and a corner.
"Haha... You still have a sense of humor, Jimmy boy... But, I'm here for a lady." Gary said with a smile.
"Edna isn't here, either." Jimmy growled.
"Edna? Hmm... How is your wife, Hopkins?" Gary joked, laughing silently at his own joke, "Honestly, I am here for that hellion in your grasp."
Jimmy retracted from Aubry as if she burned him, allowing her to run towards Gary.
Aubry sobbed onto Gary's shoulder, shaking violently.
"What a whore." Jimmy spat, then left quickly.
Gary glared after his rival, then caught the collapsing Aubry and hoisted her into his arms to seat her on the bleachers.
He plopped down next to her and allowed her to lean against him.
He found that some of her bracelets and necklaces were torn roughly from her body and her fishnets were torn purposefully on the outside of her left thigh and the inside of her right.
"What all did he do to you?" Gary asked uncertainly.
She shook her head, not answering.
Gary pulled her chin up, so he could see her face, which he found bruised along her cheek.
She looked away at the pool, ashamed, but Gary made her look at him again.
It was just turning 9:37, so, if the bruise was showing up that brightly this early, it would be one hell of a shiner in the morning.
Gary frowned, not liking the fact that Jimmy had turned into a total monster without his help.
To make things worse, Gary felt as though Aubry was his.
Gary's dark eyes seemed to darken and he stood abruptly.
Aubry sniffled and watched for a second, then reached out and grabbed Gary's wrist to keep him from leaving.
Meeting her teary eyes, Gary understood that she needed him here and now.
So, he sat back down and opened his arms for her.
She blushed while glancing down, but scooted over and rested against Gary's chest.
This was what they both needed.
Gary needed some one who could show him affection and need his protection for all the right reasons, and Aubry needed some one to weigh her roaring fires down and keep her protected.
They stayed that way for a good hour and a half until they both heard shouting from outside the doors.
Both bolted to their feet, and Aubry grabbed Gary's wrist and pulled him over the edge of the fencing for the Bleachers, then through the underpass, past the locker rooms, and to the new back doors of the gym.
She raced off to the side of the building and peered around, gripping Gary's hand tightly.
When the coast was clear, she bolted down to the top of the stairs leading to the field.
Picking up a nicely sized rock, she hurled it at one of the lights towards the Jock hangout.
A loud pop and fizzle brought the remaining jocks on the field over to investigate.
Aubry grabbed Gary's wrist again and darted off at a pace Gary had troubles with.
As soon as she hit the bottom of the stairs, she rushed around the wall to behind the bleachers and hopped the fence quickly.
Gary followed suit and ran after the graceful girl.
She glanced around the corner and signaled for Gary to follow and she bolted off again.
They rushed to the secret path to Happy Volts, then followed the way to the one spot she figured Jimmy wouldn't look.
She collapsed panting heavily and leaned back against the mountain side.
Gary was panting as well and slowly sat down.
After they caught their breath a silence stuck itself in them.
"I'm sorry, Gary." Aubry whispered, pulling her knees up to her chest.
Gary had his stretched before him when he turned to Aubry with a confused look.
"Why?" He finally asked.
"For getting you into this mess..." She rasped out, "I know that this is not what you want to be doing..."
"How would you know that?" He asked, glancing out at where they had just came from.
"I dunno... I guess I just assumed since this is your last chance and everything..." She said quietly.
Gary stood and hoisted Aubry to her feet as well.
He climbed up the tree and dropped down, motioning for her to follow suit.
"Don't be stupid. I haven't had this much fun and excitement for a good two years. You're a blessing!" He said, guiding her down from the branch.
He grabbed her hand and crouched down, slinking off to the building with ladder.
He pushed her up the ladder first, all the while, glancing around, then clambered up himself.
"Lay down, or you'll stick out like a sore thumb!" He whispered, lying on his back, arms behind his head.
Aubry nodded and sat next to him awkwardly, then laid on her back.
After a long stare at the stars, Aubry rolled over so that half of her body was on his and kissed him lightly.
Gary jerked back, "Why?"
She blushed, but it couldn't be seen.
"A thank you. If you hadn't of come at the time you did... I don't know what would have happened..."
Gary sighed, "Could you stop going soft on me?"
"That's what she said..." Aubry whispered, causing a short awed silence, then a moment filled with hushed laughter.
After a moment, Gary pulled her close to himself as he felt that her breathing was even, meaning she was out like a light.
He could get used to this...
