Subject: Gary Smith

Gary sat in the chair slumped against it waiting for the doctor to return with his prescription. It hadn't been long since he got out of Happy Volts Asylum and was well on his way to a possible visit again. He attended a public school now close to Bullworth town. He didn't care much for it due to the fact the cliques were smarter than the ones he faced at Bullworth. They weren't easy to manipulate like the others, and he wanted to get revenge on Jimmy Hopkins. He couldn't do this if he couldn't manipulate people. The doctor finally returned with the prescription to the wasted pills.

"Now Gary, don't forget to take your medication, another slip-up and your back at Happy Volts. Got it?" The doctor an older gentleman with a deep voice and scruffy hair told him. Gary only nodded without looking up. "Now be on your way child. Your parents already paid and are waiting for you outside." He sat down at his desk. Gary got up and made his way out. He went to the car where his parents reside and got inside. "How was the appointment boy?" His stepfather asked. Gary remained silent. "Gary, you have to tell us something." His mother-chiming in.

"What is there to tell mom? I'm still taking pills, things will always stay the same."
"That isn't true Gary, please help us help you. We want to know what's going on in your mind." His mother said. "Let him sit there in silence. I'd rather not listen to whatever he says." His father snapped. "You never do! You don't care about me at all! You help waste money on pointless medication, you fuel my anger, and you won't help me expose the system for what it truly is. What support are you "Dad"!" Gary snapped back. It was quiet on the rest of the ride other than Gary's father scolding him along the way.

Gary ignored it as he looked out the window wondering what was happening to his life. He dwelled on how he had been beaten by Hopkins. He searched through every mistake he might have made, which he believed was none. All he knew was that he would get revenge if it were the last thing he did. He wanted to wring Jimmy's neck and pulverize the entire Academy.

33 Days before Z-day
Subject: Jimmy Hopkins

It was a new school year already started and there were already a few more problems. New cliques came and tried showing the others up. Jimmy dismantled them quickly and broke them up. He still remained king of the school with his girlfriend Zoe Taylor. They spent nearly every day of the summer together and nothing stopped their relationship. Jimmy sat in the boys' dorm at night with Zoe, Peter Kowalski, and another new kid who eventually left the common room. Zoe was directly next to Jimmy, and Pete was on the other side of Zoe. The television programs weren't too interesting. There wasn't a good thing on, Pete lost interest and fell asleep on the right side of the couch. "Hey, head boy's asleep. Want to have fun?" Zoe asked Jimmy quietly.

"What kind of fun?" He asked back. "Like I said before, not like that. At least not yet, want to go mess with the prefects?" She asked back. "What like stink bombs, firecrackers, marbles, what do you want to do?" Jimmy asked. "I was thinking… Wait what is this?" She pointed at the television as he directed his attention to the television. "New breakthrough in medicine today, as doctors have found a cure to cancer. The medication they have tested on animals has brought them out of their vegetative state, and made them seem stronger than ever. It will be hitting hospitals in the near future to cure our diseased brethren."
"Good thing we don't have cancer!" Pete had awoken and told them. "What would it matter? We'd still be fine." Jimmy answered. "Still, stuff like this on the market could cost tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars just to use this stuff on you. Even the preps couldn't afford it every time their family legacy couldn't be carried on."

"I'm sorry little one but afford what?" A familiar faux English voice came from behind them. It was Derby Harrington with Bif by his side. "This new cure. Apparently it can help your cancer or something." Jimmy replied slightly agitated. "I'm sorry, but there's nothing we can't afford. Hundreds of thousands you say? Clearly you don't know us as well as you thought little one." Derby said. Jimmy shook his head and focused back on the Television. "So Derby… How's life treating you these days?" Zoe asked knowing she might hear some crap story about how tough he thought his life was because he lost a few races at the track. Derby wasn't much into gambling but he had a knack for horse racing.

"Not as bad as usual pauper and I assume you are only getting the best of your stay here?" Derby replied trying to cut her off. "Actually yes. I believe I have more people to call my friends than you do. Either way this medication is probably only a test on the market to see if people will actually use it. I highly doubt you could afford it from an economists standpoint." Zoe replied making Jimmy dumbfounded at Zoe's bravery and intelligence over Derby. "Actually if you knew anything about me you would know my family owns the oil industry, invests in only the best stock markets, and known by very few, my father invests heavily into the medical and nuclear field, and we could more than likely get this 'test' for free. It seems I have downgraded you even more little rose." Derby finished.

Jimmy got up from the couch as he went to stand up to Derby. Jimmy had grown much taller than before, and developed better muscles from defending the school from the new cliques, who seemed a bit tougher than the first time around. "Don't fuck with my woman. As you can see I could easily take both of you girls out to the curb and kick you into an alleyway. I might even feed you to Johnny and his bloodthirsty Greasers. Just a fair warning." Jimmy threatened. He realized there was now a crowd behind Derby and Bif; people had awoken because of how loud they were. Jocks, nerds, and few of the greasers came out to see a breakdown. "Is he giving you problems Jim?" He heard a familiar voice from the crowd.

Out of the crowd was Johnny Vincent along with Peanut, Hal, Norton, and surprisingly Damon the jock who decided to join the crowd of greasers. He wasn't one of them he just happened to want a fight. "No need to worry guys, he was just leaving." Jimmy replied. "Johnny, you seem to have been a long time away. Had an asylum visit again?" Bif asked. "Actually I was visiting your mother. Don't worry she's still married to your uncle." Johnny replied as the greasers and even Damon laughed. "Funny Johnny. Last time I checked you were there because of your whore girlfriend. Tell me something; is it true she went out of her way to spend time with the fat child? Quite sad if you ask me Derby, leaving a washed up tough guy for literally the biggest loser in school!" Derby and Bif laughed away in their stuck-up prick attitudes. Only other preps laughed at their own jokes, however all of them were at Harrington house where they should be.

Johnny clenched his fists into hammer fists and scowled at the two laughing jerks. The greasers and Damon cracked their knuckles at the obvious sight of the pissed off leader. "Your such a do-do head!" Algernon yelled from the back along with a team of nerds. They all came to the front with their spud launchers and bottle rockets. The laughing preps laughed even more at the sight of the losers with their inferior toy guns. "Wait lets all calm down. Just go back to your rooms and leave the situation alone." Pete being a lot braver than anyone tried calming the situation down. After all he was the head boy and he had to maintain order at any cost. He did end up getting taller and muscular so he could match the size of a prefect. He still wasn't as tall as the rest of them, but he sure was strong. That caught the attention of a few girls.

"Stay out of this future crab-o-bitch. This is no place for authority." Derby snapped at him. "Leave him alone!" Jimmy yelled. Pete clenched his fists with almost fiery rage; he had gotten a lot angrier and frustrated at the world for shoving so much shit in his face. Very little people saw the pissed off side of Pete Kowalski. "That's enough Harrington! I'm tired of all of you picking on me! Now we have a problem that just went too far! You want to step up to the plate and bat, go ahead and swing Derby I am right here you know! If you have something to say, say it to my damn face!" Pete finished his rant and everyone was shocked to see Pete's newfound rage. This threatened everyone except Derby, and he stepped in front of Pete shoving him but not getting an inch of movement.

Finally Derby just hit Pete on the side of the head and Pete came back shoving Derby straight to the ground. Derby looked up at the demonic aura of Pete in surprise, but did not want to back down. Instead he rolled up and started to hit Pete. Pete came back stronger than Derby as he kneed him in the gut, punched Derby in his jaw almost cracking his entire face; leg swept him and continued raining punches on Derby's face. Bif didn't want any part of this so he ran out of the dorm back to Harrington house. Jimmy ran over to Pete and tried to hold him back. It took Johnny, Damon, Peanut, Norton, and even Zoe who also got stronger, to pull Pete back from killing Derby.

"Pete relax buddy! Come on don't let the other prefects see you like this!" Jimmy yelled trying to get him to back off. "They don't care! They ask for the damn fights!" Pete yelled back. Finally the group got the best of Pete and pulled him off Derby who was lying on the ground with his blood everywhere fuming from his mouth, teeth knocked out, eyes swollen, ears ringing, nose broken, and even his jaw was dislocated. He managed to spit out some words before he was officially done. "I… Am going… To sue… You." Derby was unconscious to the max. Finally the nurse, Crabblesnitch, two prefects, and Bif came back. "What is the meaning of this?" Crabblesnitch almost commanded a question. The nurse screamed in horror as she saw the almost lifeless body of a Harrington. Crabblesnitch looked over and was disgusted at the sight. "Scolded a new boy too much haven't we? Who did it?" He questioned. "I'm sorry sir. It was I." Pete spoke up.

Crabblesnitch looked at him in utter shock. "That isn't a new kid either. It's… It's…" He couldn't get the words out he was almost about to shed a tear. Regardless of how tough and ruthless he could be, he still had a feminine side. "Derby Harrington sir." Jimmy spoke up. "Hmm… I guess this isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I've always needed someone to put a stop to him; I just never thought it to be this gruesome. I have an admiration for this newfound terror you have struck lately Mr. Kowalski. It's the things that make a boy into a man, a student into a prefect, and a teacher into a principal. I must congratulate you my boy, but I may also have to inform the Harrington boys' parents. Hopefully they won't be too distraught over this little snob." He finished. "Hey now wait a minute…" Bif tried to interject but Johnny caught a quick punch into Bif's face and he fell down.

"Thank you Vincent. Now come with me Mr. Kowalski. We shall talk about a few things my friend." He took Pete as they walked away, everyone returning to their rooms. "Your friends pretty dangerous Jim, better watch out." Johnny said jokingly. "This isn't over." Bif said to Jimmy and Johnny at the same time. "Save it pip squeak." Johnny said. Everyone left or went to their dorm rooms. "I never knew Pete was like that. Honestly that was kind of spooky." Zoe said. "Yeah I just hope he doesn't get a high head. I'll just get to bed." Jimmy told her. "Jimmy… Do you really think they have the cure? Because you know my relative from out of state has cancer, but I just don't think we should put all our faith in the government. I guess it doesn't matter." She asked him.

"I don't know Zoe, I don't think after all these years they were going to hide something like that. Though you have more brains than I do in this stuff." Zoe laughed at the thought. "Yeah, can you walk me to my room? It'd be sweet if we could take the long way there." Zoe asked Jimmy. "Sure. I haven't got time for sleeping these days anyway. So anyways anything else you need to talk about?" Jimmy asked her. They were then hand-in-hand as they started walking out of the dorm. "Well, I'm kind of reluctant to talk about this, but its been bugging me ever since a while ago." She started. "Well what is it Zoe?" He asked. She looked around nervously scanning for anyone around.

"Do you think, even with the expulsion that Gary could come back? His parents are loaded, and he had good grades from what I have heard. I'm a little worried that he might come back with full force." Zoe finished with a nervous look on her face. Jimmy pondered the thought since he had not even hinted a thought about Gary. It was now in a metaphorical rulebook at the school not to speak of him, yet Zoe brought him up. She didn't blame her for being worried, but he wondered about that himself. "Zoe, if he does come back, I'm ready, we're ready. Everyone here is prepared for whatever Gary's got. He can't manipulate us anymore. I wouldn't worry about him too much; he's probably laughing his psychotic head off in Happy Volts. Please try not to bring him up anymore, he's kind of a terrorist threat to us, hopefully he'll back down if provoked enough. Well here we are. Goodnight kiss baby?" He asked and finished. "Thanks Jimmy." She leaned in for a small but sweet kiss. She then made her way up the stairs but turned to face Jimmy at the top. "I guess I'll see you around then?" Zoe asked.

Jimmy nodded as she turned back to walk into the dorm. He walked away towards the boys' dorm and realized there was EMT staff taking Derby away. It took them long enough to reach him but he seemed to be doing fine. Jimmy brushed past the paramedics and crawled into bed and on the other bed was Pete. He had one leg on the bed and the other hanging down. "You alright?" Jimmy asked. "Yeah, just swell. I don't know what to think now that people fear me. Tomorrow the girls will probably be spreading rumors or something. They might not even talk to me because of how grotesque Derby was. I'm going for a walk, want to come?" Pete asked as he got up. "I'm turning in for the night Pete; you probably should too." Jimmy explained to him. Pete agreed reluctantly but he started to change into his pajamas; before he could Jimmy noticed strange markings on Pete's back. "Hey, you got tattoos?" Jimmy asked.

That startled Pete as he turned his back to the wall. "What is it?" Jimmy asked. Pete shook his head in fear. "Pete I am not going to ask again let me see your back." Pete exhaled in complaint and turned around for his back to face Jimmy. Jimmy looked closer but saw scars, big ones. It was like they were carved into him by some sort of object. "What the hell happened to you?" Jimmy asked. "Those are from a long time ago. I'd rather explain when I'm fully rested, and I am tired, so lets just go to bed." Pete commanded Jimmy. He complied and they went to sleep for the night, not knowing what would be brought to them soon enough.

20 days until Z-day
Subject: Gary Smith

Gary remained silent in his room not releasing a single noise but the shuffling of papers. He had to do his homework and comply with his parents, staff, and various authority figures. He crumpled up some paper and threw it into a wastebasket not too far from his desk. "No, this won't do." He whispered quietly. He started to scribble more notes and work down onto a fresh piece of paper. On his desk were drawings depicting his adventures at Bullworth Academy, he was quite the good amateur artist, but either way he wasn't doing his homework. He now paid people to do it for him while he planned a way of getting into Bullworth again. He knew he could bribe the principal, but that may be too easy and not as worthwhile for him. He won't give the old man the satisfaction of bribery. He also wanted to try sneaking in at certain parts of the day and have fun.

He knew though there was no way he wouldn't be caught, because of all the prefects, idiotic rumor spreaders like Christy Martin, and old friends he doesn't want to see him, like his whipping boy Pete Kowalski, or even that backstabber Hopkins. He didn't want to deal with Jimmy's BS in trying to get thrown in Happy Volts again. Jimmy and Pete were in the same position he was the end of last year, with the Head and many others wrapped around his finger. The new cliques he tried throwing at Hopkins this year failed worse than convincing the prefects to take Jimmy's weapons. Even though with the weapons he might have knocked Gary all the way down. He shivered the thought away, as exciting and as painful as that sounds, he would have preferred Hopkins to get that treatment.

Stupid Cyberpunk kids couldn't take the nerds down, the rednecks couldn't take the jocks out, the hip-hop losers couldn't take the greasers, and the congress kids couldn't take out the preps. All of them fled because of Hopkins, the one guy none of them wanted to stand up to. Gary had to think smarter than throwing a bunch of new punks Jimmy's way knowing what he was capable of. Gary had to think of what made Jimmy weak; over the year he had studied him beyond the norm. He studied flaws in his fighting style, breaks in his body, some sort of weakness that Gary could capitalize on, but then he remembered the most obvious weaknesses Jimmy has. Of course brains being one of them, but that was obvious from the beginning.

Yes two or three flaws in him, things that would bring him to his dirty little knees and beg for mercy. Zoe Taylor. Zoe was now getting serious with Jimmy, he doesn't realize it but they have more than feelings for each other, if he could send someone to steal Zoe away from the all powerful Jimmy, maybe even just a raw kidnapping will do. However, he had to play it off like he had nothing to do with it. Jimmy wasn't all there in his rightful mind, but he knows something fishy that has to do with his walking apocalypse Gary. Gary had to think of someone else that he had met in the past, someone who possessed the brawn, the brain, the capabilities, characteristics, and charisma that Jimmy can't compare to. Someone who could manipulate Jimmy and Zoe for him, then again this situation wasn't fun for him either, he could only watch from a distance and that was about it. He liked things on an up close and personal view of the human torture.

Gary wanted someone on the wings, but not to just help him, but to torture the people with him. He wanted an intellectual equal, and he wanted someone smart enough with him so they could both pull the biggest plot off together. He had to do it quick though, he couldn't call the person from a landline or a cellular device, and he had to do it the hard way. He may have to pay a visit to their house. So he pushed all the papers into one of the drawers and got up to find a few things. He went to find some clothes proper enough to give a good impression on their long lost old friend. He threw on a black shirt, jean jacket, black pants, sunglasses, boots, and a beanie.

He snuck out of his window and was on his way, he walked the streets of Bullworth Vale to try and find the house if he could remember where it was. He went a little further than the Vale where all the rich kids lived, he knew his friend was a middle class citizen, he hadn't seen them in a long time, and word got out he's back from his Floridian vacation. He walked a little bit out of the town and finally found it, it wasn't too bad of a home, it just needed the lawn mowed, and the dead bugs scraped off the door. He knocked on the front door and waited there tapping his foot.

A/N: Hello readers! If you are a regular visitor to the Bully fanfiction part of the site or even my fanfics in general you aren't going to want to miss this one! A fanfiction I was just as excited to write and be able to put out there is finally here. It's been close to a year or so since I first started writing this, and it's probably the longest time I've worked on a single project as well as this being my lengthiest fic. I'm actually still working on it, and trying to figure out a good way to end it. The point of where I'm at as far as length I've already got about 68 pages written out in Word, and as far as uploading it here goes I might end up throwing a good page or two up, if not more. I guess wherever there is a good stopping point for a single chapter will work. It's organized by days and also from where the characters locations are, so if you see Subject: Gary Smith for example it will be from a third person POV of Gary wherever he ends up, and so on. It won't be a 1st person POV, but a third person limited on whichever character it ends up on. As far as uploading chapters I might end up going on a biweekly basis if not a weekly basis like the Walking Dead. It'll be like episodes in a series! So for now I hope you guys come to enjoy this story and have fun reading it as much as I have writing it for close to a year! Stay Sweet my readers!
