Chapter 2: Back to Bullworth

I woke up at two in the morning to see Salem outside of a gas station. Salem gave me a wave and I started to fall back asleep a little longer. I woke up again and saw Salem still there at the gas station. Salem walked back in to the RV. "Okay, what was that about?" I asked through a yawn.

"I noticed that the gas on the RV was low." Salem replied simply and went back to sleep next to me. Salem and I shared a blow up mattress and Parker slept on the couch. The next time I woke up was at around noon. I saw Salem at the wheel driving the RV back towards the school.

I sat up on the bed and looked at the couch and saw no one was there. I shrugged and decided to change my clothes. I changed into a leather jacket, a Simple Plan tee, a pair of dark blue, almost black jeans, and a pair of Vans.

"Ah, morning, Mike." Parker said, sipping some Orange juice. "Well, actually, it's afternoon, but, who's counting?" I replied chugging down a glass of Chocolate Milk. "Have you eaten yet?" I shook my head. "No." He laughed and tossed me a bagel.

"You get this from the gas station?" I asked holding it away from me with a grimace. Parker shook his head. "No, I found a place that sells Bagels." I scoffed. "You mean like a donut shop?" He pushed me teasingly and went up to the passenger seat.

I decided to watch some TV, but lost interest and decided to look out the window. "Well, we're coming home." Salem said, taking a turn at the bridge leading into the school building. "That's good." I replied carelessly. Salem dropped Parker and I off at the main gate.

"So, I bet you can't wait to get back to the house." Parker said. "Why's that?" I asked. He gave me a wink. "Hey, no offense, but after listening to almost four months of the "No, you hang up." Game I kind of started to grow loss of interest in you." He laughed. "Ah, piss off." I replied, pushing him teasingly.

Parker and I continued to walk and talk until we got to Harrington House. "So, as soon as we get inside are you and Amanda going to break down and hug each other both crying?" Parker asked jokingly. "More her, than I." I replied. Parker and I walked inside.

As soon as I got in there I was nearly knocked over by Amanda. "Told you." Parker said in a sing song voice. "Shut up Parker, I missed him like crazy." She replied on top of me. "You know, people are going to think we're getting a bit sexual when they walk into the house." I said gesturing for her to get off of me.

"I'm pretty sure people already think you guys have done it." Parker said with a mix of seriousness and snark. "What?" Amanda and I said in unison. "Yeah, I mean, you guys have spent a lot of time in her room. So, putting two and two together. People are going to believe a lot of things."

"Let people think what they want." I said shrugging. I walked up to Amanda's room bumping into someone familiar on the way up. "Watch where you're…. Mike…." She said quietly. "Jade? What're you doing here?" I asked curious. She ran a hand through her hair. "I live here." "What? No, no you don't?"

"Actually, I do." She said arguing. "What? Since when?" I asked trying to avoid an argument. "Trip thought it would be great if I lived with people more like me." "What do you mean by more people like you?" "Since my new dad is rich, he thought I should live with the rest of the preps. The real question is… what are you doing here?" "My idiot of an "Aunt"" I said using air quotes.

"What do you mean by "Aunt"?" She asked. "My Uncle had a girlfriend named Dana. She was no older than college education and she's using the money in the will to pay for my education." I explained. She nodded. "Sorry man, that's gotta suck. Being somewhere you don't exactly belong." "What do you mean by that?"

"Look at us Mike. We're not exactly living the lifestyles of the rich and famous are we?" She said attempting to prove a point. "Well, no, but…" I replied. "Exactly," She said. "Exactly, what exactly?" I asked arguing. "We don't belong here. You can bullshit yourself and believe that you actually belong in the high society. But, you know you're upbringing will come back to haunt you when you and Amanda get more serious."

I shook my head. "You know what? You're just jealous of Amanda. You've always been jealous of her. Now, it's just dead obvious." I said walking past her.

She turned me around and I saw that her face was starting to get red, Like she was ready to cry or she was angry. She pushed me back a bit. "Fuck you. Fuck you Mike. Fuck you and Amanda and your stupid relationship. You know, I thought that this road trip would change you a bit. But, I can see now you're not the same guy I called a friend. You've just become a carbon copy of the preps." She stormed away from me and I could see some tears in her eyes.

I face-palmed myself as I saw her walk to her room. Amanda walked up to me and wrapped her slender arm around my waist and rested her head on my shoulder. "Hey, you alright? As I was walking up here I heard Jade screaming and I was wondering what was up." She said. "Yeah, I'm alright. I guess Jade was just in shock to see me here." I replied.

"Well I heard her curse my name and yours. So, I guess I was mentioned." She said. "I think she's jealous of you." I replied looking down at the ground. "She's unbelievable." She said rolling her eyes. I shrugged quietly. Amanda walked back down the steps.

I let out a sigh and rested my head up against the plain wooden wall. I'm off to a fine start this year. I can't imagine how things could get worse.

Author's Note: Well, here we are at the end of another chapter. Amanda might be coming off as a bit of a bitch towards Jade. But, she's just defending herself. But, other than that, Tension.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter, I'll be back on the way with more. Only spoiler I can give away is… I'm letting in some OCS from another writer on the wiki page for the Bully fanfiction content. Their names are Alistair and Elizabeth, or, Liz for short.
