Days of our Bart
Chapter 2:
I'm Bart Simpson, who the hell are you?
……..
I don't really care, if you're willing to listen that's enough.
Here's the big picture man: Obviously I'm a real ladies man, not surprising eh?
……..
Shut up! Okay, so I'm not a ladies man, but I've still had my fair share of girlfriends in the past, my first being Jessica Lovejoy.
Jessica may have a bad girl image, but when you really get to know her you can see she's really as bad as she seems. Worse; she made most of my Elementary school days miserable. She enjoyed finding new ways to humiliate me. I'd always eventually build up the nerve to break up with her, two weeks later she would convince me she'd changed and it would all start again.
I just can't say no to Jessica, she's beautiful, she's a great kisser and she's the only girl I've ever known that liked my bad boy side.
My sister Lisa would always try and talk me out of seeing her, and just when I thought I'd beat the habit she would draw me back.
We'd probably still be doing that if her dad hadn't finally shipped her back to boarding school.
Now let me tell you about Greta Wolfcastle, daughter of everyone's favorite action star Rainer Wolfcastle. Whoa momma, what a smoking hot babe she's grown to be. To bad she hates my guts.
I once saved Greta from some 'bullies' at her fancy prep school. She saw the Bart-man like no other girl had before; she thought I was some sort of hero. Guess that felt pretty good, but I guess I was kind of star struck that I was hanging out with McBain's daughter.
We hung out; she fell in love with me. Seriously, real love. I wasn't ready for anything like that.
Dude, I'm probably still not ready for something like that.
But I'll admit it, I screwed up. I broke her heart, and then went a bit nuts after she started dating Milhouse to get back at me. I apologized…She basically told me to eat her shorts. I hadn't seen her since; until today. Wonder why she's here.
I've got two babes I once dated in the same school, Jessica wants me back, Greta obviously wants me to step out in front of a bus. What's a dude to do, dude?

"Well class dismissed, Krusty needs a drink worse than ever." Krusty said as his class came to an end. Milhouse could barely take his eyes of Greta throughout the entire class.
"Hey Bart…Do you think that Greta is the same Greta we fought over?" Milhouse asked lamely.
"Uh, yeah, welcome to the last hour Milhouse." Bart replied sarcastically as he stood up.
"Think she'll take me back?" Milhouse asked. Bart shook his head, Milhouse would never change, he was still as clueless as he always was.
"Chicks are trouble." Nelson added. "Unless you can find one you can train." Nelson was the only person in school who could get away with that attitude.
"Men, I'm going in." Bart told his friends.
Greta was gathering her papers when Bart decided he might as well try and talk to her. He took walked up to her desk. She looked up from her papers and looked back down quickly.
"Hi Greta," Bart said to the girl, though he was positive from her earlier reaction she remembered him, he could think of nothing else to do but re-introduce himself. "Remember me? I'm Bart Simpson-"
He was sharply cut off. "Yes, I remember you Bart, despite trying to my best to forget."
'Ouch.' Bart thought, it had been eight years but she's still bitter about it. 'Time to use the old Simpson charm, dad taught me how to deal with an angry woman.'
"Greta, I realize I was-"
"Goodbye Bart, just because we're taking a class together doesn't mean we have to talk to each other." And with that Greta marched out of the room.
'Ouch.'
-
Lunch came quickly, Bart, Milhouse and Nelson took a seat in the crowded cafeteria.
"Don't let the babe shooting you down get to you Bart." Nelson said in-between bites of his lunch. "She just stuck on her 'oh I'm the daughter of a star' high horse. If she was so great she wouldn't be stuck in this crap shack of a school."
"Yeah, she thinks she's Harry Potter but she's stuck her with the rest of us muggles." Milhouse piped in like the geek he was. Bart rolled his eyes and Nelson nearly punched Milhouse, but Bart still agreed with the point.
"Who needs Greta," Bart said to his buddies. "There are a lot of women who can appreciate the Bart-man for who he really is."
"Like me." Sounded out Jessica Lovejoy from behind Bart, he gulped and turned around. "So that Wolfcastle girl shot you down? Puh, miss high and mighty thinks she's too good for you? I love your destructive side Bart, that's why we're meant to be together. Give me another chance Bart, I promise I'll treat you better this time."
And there it was, Jessica always knew exactly what to say to him. He knew better, he knew she would never change, but she was soooooooo hot. Could one more try really hurt?

Lisa had been eating with her friends Alison, Alex, Janey, Sherri and Terri when she noticed Greta and waved her over. "Greta? Good to see you. Why are you at Springfield High…I thought you went to a good school."
Greta sat down with them and smiled slightly, happy to see a familiar face besides her ex-boyfriends. "Hi Lisa, well I was going to a high priced elitist school, but I figured if I really wanted to make it in Hollywood I would need some experience in the real world. Took a while to convince my dad though."
Lisa agreed it was a smart choice, and the two conversed further. Greta was soon fitting in with the rest of her friends as well. Eventually Lisa looked over to her brother's table and groaned when she spotted Jessica Lovejoy.
"Why is she here!?"
Greta looked over to the table as well. "What's happening? Who's she?"
"Jessica Lovejoy, aka the devil herself." Lisa replied. "The girl who's hurt my brother more times I can count."
Greta wondered what she should be feeling. She was still angry over how Bart had treated her years ago; it was hard to get over your first heartbreak. She was a bit worried, not wanting anyone, not even Bart, to go through a painful relationship…and she a was a bit…just a little bit jealous to see the girl clinging to Bart Simpson.
