-Prologue-
James Hopkins' dreams were finally coming true.
It was seven years ago that the twenty-five year old decided where his place in the world was. No, it wasn't a stunt double, a motocross racer, or anything along the lines of that. A young James, formally known as Jimmy, would have been expected to have an action packed, exciting job. But upon graduating from Bullworth Academy, something he never thought he would do, he realized that he never wanted to leave.
So, still young Jimmy, who reverted his name back to James, became but a school teacher. Not an easy job, for he did have some reckless ways. Turns out, proper motivation, a year or two at home, and University was the one thing that boy needed to become a friendly, functioning human being.
And now, seven years later, James stood before the gates of his school. He breathed in the familiar air; The place hadn't changed one bit. Prefects were scouting around, but this time they weren't out to get him. This time, he was an adult. The smell of cigarettes and bad food was surrounding him, but he didn't mind all that much.
This place had been a dump, and definitely still was.
Without further delay, James walked to the school, up the oh-so-familiar stairs and up into the even more familiar principles office. Dr. Crabblesnitch was not surprised to see his former student. He smiled at how much James had changed over the years. Now cleaned up and with a affable smile on, the two men shook hands.
"Ah, Hopkins." He smiled, wrinkles lighting up his dull features. "Good to see you again."
"Good to see you two, Dr." James smiled. "And thanks so much for the job offer, you're a real life saver."
He nodded, "I never thought I'd see the day where Jimmy Hopkins thanks me sincerely."
"Please, call me James." He chuckled.
Dr. Crabblesnitch laughed wholeheartedly, and led the ex-delinquent back into his office.
James couldn't help but laugh. "I can't believe I'm not in trouble."
The principle smiled. "Hard to believe, eh?"
He nodded.
"Anyways, on to business!" carelessly shoved some papers into his large, mahogany desk. "The staff and I had figured it was about time we got ourselves a Vice Principle."
James smiled. "But Sir, what made you chose me?" He chuckled. "I would imagine that I would be the last person you'd want on your staff."
"Ah, well, I talked to a professor of yours from University. He told me that he could never imagine someone like James Hopkins being a delinquent."
He shrugged. "Well, I suppose after school, I had a change of heart."
Dr. Crabblesnitch grinned. "Good man James, good man."
