Welcome To Bullworth

…Hi…my name is Jimmy Hopkins and today is probably the worst day of my entire life. Right now I'm being driven, to what seems like my death sentence. You will probably think that I am over reacting, being a total tit or maybe just…nervous. But I'm not feeling any of these things right now. Simple as.

What I'm "feeling" right now, is hatred to my so-called mother and her new husband, my new step-father, who (in my opinion) looks like he could die of a heart attack considering how ancient he is. If I had a dollar for everything that my mum hitched up with a new guy then I would most likely be a billionaire by now. This is why I don't expect this one to long, I mean for one thing he is as old as fuck and I think my mums standard's have dropped pretty low since the last one, so this new guy couldn't last more than a year. And two, my mum would have burnt through all his cash so quickly there would be nothing left to keep.

This is only one of the two reasons that I'm blocking out the nags of my mum, the second reason is they are both leaving me in the middle of God-knows-where, to attend some stupid, posh school because I have managed to get kicked out from all of the other ones. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a bad person, definitely not, I just did some bad things. I'm the sort of person that is going to stand up for what he believes in, no matter what other people think, whether they agree or don't. It does not concern me about the opinions of others.

So, as I lay on my back, trying to ignore my mum, but praying the git in front doesn't crash the car or have a sudden heart attack, I wondered to myself if I'm really that bad of a son, like I said I have done some bad things, but I don't deserve this.

"Jimmy please say something" my mum told me. I continued to ignore her, there was no point to try and change her mind, all she could see next to her was a fat pile of cash "trying" to drive the car and she was just waiting till the great lump keeled over and she could jump out the car with all his money, find some other sucker and so the whole cycle could repeat its self. Sounds about right to me…

"James…" eurgh, the git finally spoke. I was just waiting for his to happen because it meant that an argument would come right round the corner, and to be honest it didn't surprise me one bit.

"What? Who are you? Mum, I thought you told me never to talk to strangers" I smiled to myself, I knew this would start it, 9 times out of 10 it always does. I continued looking at the top of the car, not remotely interested at what was outside and what was in store for me, I just did not want to know.

"Like I said before Jimmy, please be nice to your new step-father" my mum replied back to me sounding a little more irritated. Me, be nice, to him? I don't think so. I did not want to befriend him any time soon. I sat up in my seat and decided to have a look at the place I would be staying in.

It looked boring. There were no skate parks, no arcades that I could see, no music shops, no big shopping malls, there was a beach but it looked rather shit, the weather looked dull and I was praying it wasn't like this all year round. Hardly any kids that I would possibly want to hang out with and big fucking police men that looked like they could rip my head off in just one swipe. And I thought to myself, where the fuck am I exactly. I must have not been listening to my mum talking about the place or I have fallen a sleep because the conversation was so boring. I pressed my face closer to the window hoping to see a sign of the town I was in.

"Bullworth…?" I muttered under my breath, what sort of name was that? It sounded like an old, stupid name and the shops and people that live in "Bullshit" reflected my opinion about the place. I couldn't believe my luck, I was quite happy in my last school I had made some good mates, had fun annoying the teachers, causing fights if it was necessary at the time. I was basically being Jimmy Hopkins. If I didn't do the things that I did back at all of my other pervious schools then it wouldn't have been me.

I was drawn out of my thoughts to the sound of the idiots talking in the front, talking loudly (like I wasn't even here just some imaginary child that they had picked up along the way), about how much they loved each other, and how they would spend the rest of their lives together. HA! Well for the git it wouldn't be long.

"James…I don't understand why you can't be happy for your mother and I. I think that will we will be the best of friends" I knew he was taking the piss and it drove me insane, he was doing it to wind me up, so I would say something back to him and so my mother could take his side and give me a mouth full. Oh well…it would be worth it.

"Ok rich guy, I love it that your twice as old as my grandfather and your fat and bald!"

"THAT'S ENOUGH! I've had it with you little brat!" my mum shouted back at me, her face red and clearly very annoyed. I sighed in a disgusted tone, still annoyed at the fact that they were doing this to me and that she couldn't see that this guy was a dick.

"You've upset you mother, I've got half a mind to beat you" he sneered back at me. I saw his reflection in the mirror, with his eyes entirely focused on me, like he had already won the fight.

"Half a mind is right, suddenly he realises."

"I cant believe you -you little monster. We'll deal with you when we get back from our honeymoon next year" NEXT YEAR!? I didn't know that they would be going away for that long, and I would be left here that long even. I tried not to show the pair of them my shocked face to either one of them because I didn't want them to have the satisfaction of making me look like a fool.

"Here we are boy, Bullworth Academy… …well…?" he said to me, sneering while he said it.

"Well what?" I answered back, slightly annoyed that we had arrived to the new place so soon.

"GO GET YOUR STUFF!" he shouted at me, still facing the front of the car, just waiting for me to get out of the car, so he could leave and get rid of me for good.

Fed up completely, I sighed and opened the door of the car, letting myself out of the car feeling the cool breeze gently wash over my face. Helping me think clearly about everything that was going on and how it would all be fine, no matter what would happen. It was calming. To be able to breath finally and to escape from those two. Maybe it'll be good, to get away again.

HONK

"James! What the hell are you doing!? Get you stuff NOW!!"

Waking up back to reality and remembering what I had to be doing, I slowly walked (much to the git's annoyance with swearing constantly and my mum giggling) round to the truck of the car. What seemed like an hour to the git, I opened the truck of the car and reached out for my ONE suitcase. It wasn't very heavy, in fact, it was like there nothing in there at all. Since I had moved so many times to different schools in the state, I must have lost track of most of my things. Slamming the truck of the car down, hoping I would be able to damage some of the paint on the car, I walked slowly back round to see the git with his arm around my mother's shoulder. I wished I could permanently remove his arm. He turned his face round to meet mine, with his cruel and evil smile on his face, like he had won the war. "Have fun Jimmy, I'll think of you from our cruise ship, hehe"

"Whatever…" I replied back quickly, arms folded, and staring angrily back at them, while listening to their laughter and giggling on my behalf. The git then put the car into gear and just like that they had left me.

"Mum...why'd you marry that phoney…" I said to myself still watching the car driving off and believing that I could still hear them laughing at my expense. "…what is wrong with you…" yeah, what WAS wrong with her. I still couldn't believe that I had been dumped at this posh rich school, in the middle of nowhere, to spend a year while they fanny around forgetting me…"I can't believe this…" shaking my head.

"You must be the Hopkins boy. We've been expecting you-" Someone said to me in a very serious voice. I was so startle because I didn't hear anyone walking towards me and plus I didn't see the gates open to let anyone out.

"-Where did you come from? Those gates were locked right? So, how-"

"-Welcome to Bullworth" she carried on saying to me, ignoring me and thinking that her speech was more important than answering one of my questions. "I'm sure you'll be happy here, very happy indeed." don't count on it lady…"anyways, I can't spend my life waiting around for naughty little boys, I've got a man to make happy" She said proudly to herself, but seriously that is weird, who would say that to a kid? "The headmaster is expecting you Hopkins, in his study"

"Ok" I replied back, turning round and starting to make way elsewhere, other than the Headmasters study.

"His study is over THERE boy! In the main building" she said sternly. I turned around and saw her bony finger pointing towards the inside of the school. "Don't keep Dr. Crabblesnitch waiting, he's a brilliant man, brilliant." she told me like a little girl, with a school girls crush. I looked at her oddly and started walking towards the main building, leaving her behind and surprised by the fact that the gates were opening themselves.

She quickly caught up with me, probably trying to seem that she was better than I was, but I was able to get a closer look at what she looked like. She look about middle aged, which was quite obvious by the clothes that she was wearing, which seem out dated, though I am no fashion expert. I was trying to work out what she did at Bullworth, I was hoping that she wasn't a teacher here, because I wouldn't want to be stuck in one of her classes for the next year.

"So, erm Miss-" I began saying.

"-It's Miss Danvers" she quickly interrupted me while continuing walking.

"Ok…well Miss Danvers, are you like a teacher here or something?" She stopped in her tracks and turned around and stared at me with her mouth hanging wide open, like I had just insulted her or something.

"A-a teacher!?" She blurted out in complete and utter shock. "You stupid and silly little boy. didn't you hear anything that I just said to you? I look after Dr. Crabblesnitch and deal with annoying, silly, stupid little kids, like, yourself. Do I make myself clear boy?" She told me towing over me, waiting to give me a clear kick out of the school even though I had only been here about two or three minutes.

"Yes Miss, I understand clearly. You're dating Dr. Crabblesnitch" I replied back to her.

"No boy! I'm his secretary!…youth today" She turned on her heel and stormed off without me, leaving me behind to make my own way. I looked around to see what I could find in this dump. I could see the boy's dorm, where I guessed I would be staying and the girl's dorm. The main building in front of me, where I was suppose to by now.
