Chapter One.

The autumn fresh air flowed through Bullworth academy grounds as the new school year had begun. It was still warm from summer and the sky was still bright. Peter took a deep breath before entering his main school building. He placed his hand on the blue rotting door, He hoped that when he pushed, it wouldn't open but unfortunately, it did.

As Peter entered he saw students walking around the second floor balcony's and students stood on the main floor talking before the large and wide stair case. Nothing had changed, it was still an off yellowy cream colour that filled the halls, the wood was still tarnished and scratched. The smell of the rotten fruit and meat in the cafeteria already filled the main halls, it made Peter's stomach turn with no ease.

He had noticed a few new younger students that had arrived, some clinging to their older siblings, such as Trent's little sister. She was just as blonde as he was but yet seemed so innocent. As Peter walked past she could hear that she was more well-spoken than Trent. She was also dainty compared to him, only little duplication between them as well.

"Trent, you will look after me, right? You won't let the bully's get me" she said looking sadly up at him.

"Stacey, I'm one of the bully's you're safe for now, now piss off you little wench" he said waving his hand off at her as he tried to speak to Dan.

Peter kept away, he knew better than to get involved. Slowly with a huff, Peter made his way up the grubby stairs. They seemed not to be cleaned since he was here a few months ago. He unwillingly walked up the second set of stairs. He took a right and walked the seven feet to the office. He stood in front of Ms. Denvers and politely spoke to the women in a navy skirt suit.

"I'm here to see Dr. Crabblesnitch as requested" he kept a plain face.

"Take a seat and he will be with you shortly." She spoke without looking up. Without hesitation Peter went and sat down on the beat up sofa behind him. As he sat down he watched the large dark double doors in front of him. He saw move from the corner of his eyes. She stood close by as the doors opened. and two other people had left his office.

" Thank you for everything and I hope the funds we have supplied, will help you and your school" said the tall and broad male, he must be here for a student with his wife. He looked similar to Gary surprisingly, he was a stern looking man, light brown hair kept short. His was in a tight fitted grey suit. His wife had auburn hair, it was in light curls, she had worry in her bright blue eyes. She wore a complimentary flowery pink dress. She held on to his arms snuggly.

"Your more than welcome Mr. Smith, as long as last year's events do not repeat themselves." held out his hand for a firm hand shake. Peter's eyes widened he thought to himself that it couldn't be the same Smith, there's no way on this earth it could be.

"Trust me sir, Gary has learnt his lesson and is under contract with the nice little hospital in blue sky's and the young offenders court to check in with his parole officer regularly" he said with a little smile shaking hand in return "he also must see his councillor twice a week"

Peter didn't follow the middle aged couple as they left, he kept in a state of shock. He couldn't believe what he had just heard. He hoped, he preyed he was in a dream. stood with his arms behind his back as he watched them leave. He turned slightly.

" , come out here please." He said with no emotion in his voice.

Just like that, what Peter had heard became reality as Gary Smith walked out of 's office in to the main room. He watched the light come over him as if it was washing the shadows from him. As the brighter light came on to Gary's face, he lifted his head to look forward. His hair was more rugged than before slightly longer too. His green pooled eye's were even darker but still with their hint of crazy, there was something else in them to but he couldn't tell what, but they did come across as hollow perhaps. Gary had gotten broader in his shoulders, taller in height and his skin seemed pale. Being inside had changed his image. Gary was in dark jeans and a long sleeved white top. He had the sleeves over his hands. Gary didn't speak he just looked at Peter, He showed nothing but a clenched jaw. Peter wondered if Gary even recognised him. It had only been a year but being drugged up ad probably beaten everyday could have messed with his memory. Peter hoped deep down this was the case.

"Now Mr. Kowalski, as you knew perversely last year I thought you could help him chaperon a task with at the school gates. With. Out. Any. Hassle." As Peter was about open his mouth spoke again " It won't be a request, it is a command . Now both of you go wait outside." Peter over heard slightly as he walked away in shock " , what time Is Catheryn's time of arrival?"

"In a few minutes sir" he nodded and walked proudly in to his office before closing his office doors he spoke again.

"Tell my daughter to come see me when she's settled, that will be all" she sighed heavenly as he closed the doors.

without saying a word walked in front of the boys and straight down the stairs. The boys followed without question. As they reached the bottom set of stairs Peter couldn't help but look at Gary, he just couldn't believe he was actually here all over again. Why was he so quiet? Why hadn't he said anything? Why has he barely looked over at him or anyone else?

Peter took the plunge and spoke sheepishly "Ga..Gary?"

"What?" Gary said plainly as they walked through the front doors.

"Are you really back here? To stay" Peter played with his fingers.

"Not by choice femme boy" Gary's jaw clenched. "Why? Miss staring at me in secret?"

"No, not exactly, Just couldn't imagine you coming back after everything that's happened."Pete said softly.

With a dark smirk Gary turned his head to look at Peter. "Aw, well that's a shame Petey, I've really missed you, thought you did to!" Petey, had realised he hadn't changed. He just wasn't speaking. Probably because he knew it scared him much more than his words.

Petey could feel everyone's eyes on them as he walked besides Gary, he could feel the shock, the voices of whispers and the wave of shame. No doubt people would think that him and Gary are once again friends.

As they walked closer to the school gates, they became in line with the separation point for the two dorms, where Jimmy was leaving the girl's court yard. Jimmy had stopped in his tracks at mid yawn. He actually rubbed his eyes as if it was some cruel mind trick. Was what he was seeing real? Jimmy made his way over to Peter as he knew better than to try and take Gary out here.

In an hushed and annoyed tone Jimmy spoke to Peter. "What is going on Petey ? Why the hell is this back in school grounds? Why is this nut job back?" Gary could feel his ears burning as the other two stopped for a moment.

Peter looked at Jimmy with an innocent look " I don't know, they called me in the heads office and Gary and his parents popped out then they asked him to come down to the gates with me and " Petey blurted as fast as he could.

"What? Why do you need to come down to the gates?" He said looking confused.

"Something to do with Crabblesnitch having a kid. I swear that's all I know Jimmy" Petey said raising his arms "come on" he said making his way up to the gates.

Jimmy was silent for a moment "who on this earth would have sex with Crabblesnitch?"

Petey looked up at his ginger haired friend " " Jimmy nodded his reply.
