((Hello All! Now, before we get into the next chapter, I just want to say I made my decision and I've decided to align this story to the actual game. It made more sense to me that way, and it'll help this one transition into a second story that I have in mind if this all goes well. Anyway, ENJOY! XOXO KimmyKimSpicer))
"This place looks like it's run on fear and physical violence. Great, just the type of shithole I want to be stuck at for the next year..."
After she got that not-so-warm introduction and welcome from Miss Danvers, Hilly was led into the building to meet the principal and be given her class schedule. Dr. Crabblesnitch was his name, and he was just as warm and welcoming as Miss Danvers was. So, in a word, not very welcoming at all.
"Ah, you must be Hillary Rosewood. Welcome young lady! I've looked over your transcript from your previous school and I must say I am very impressed. Very into the arts I see. Well, we here at Bullworth are sure to see great things come from you" he complimented. All Hilly could do was nod and smile. He closed her file and folded his hands.
"Now, I am pleased to see you already put your uniform on. Very good. The dress code is very important around here, among other rules. Namely disorderly conduct. From your record I can tell you are no troublemaker, and that is very pleasing to see. But I have to warn you young lady, just as I do with all the other students. Disorderly conduct on school grounds will not be tolerated. I do not wish to find you here in my office for anything other than good reasons. In short, keep your nose clean, or it will be kept clean for you. Understood?"
"Yes sir, understood" she replied. But she did find his speech a little silly. She obviously wasn't one to pick a fight or start anything. Not that she didn't hold her own if someone tried picking on her. She was quick tongued and fiesty; shooting down any bullies before they got the chance to start something. Once she was done speaking with him and had her schedule in her hands, she walked back out to the main office where Miss Danvers was talking with someone. A tall girl, in a green plaid jumper, glasses on her face, and her hair in a half up half down hairstyle with a big pink bow. Clutching her books to her chest, she looked over at Hilly, who in turn, gave her a smile. Miss Danvers noticed this, and turned around to adress Hilly.
"Miss Rosewood, this is Beatrice. I've asked her to show you to the girls dorm and help you get settled in. Now, run along now. Don't be loitering in the office" she said, before returning to her desk. Hilly bent down to pick up her bags.
"Thanks for this. I thought I was going to have to roam around clueless for the next hour" she joked. They both left the school and started walking towards the dorms.
"I'm Hilly by the way. Nice to meet you Beatrice" she said warmly.
"It's refreshing to get a new girl here at Bullworth. And one so friendly too. You're rooming with me. Oh it's going to be great having someone to talk to at night!" she commented, leading her to the girls dorm. And once they were inside, all hell started to break loose.
"That's weird. I could have sworn I closed the door before I left..." Beatrice commented, referring to the bedroom door. She rushed down the hall, leaving Hilly alone for a moment. But she soon followed once she heard shouting coming from the room.
"Mandy! What are you doing in here!?"
"Fuck off Fugly, I need your math notes! I need to copy them otherwise I'm going to fail!"
"No! You can't just break into someone's room and go through their stuff without asking!"
When Hilly finally made it in the doorway, there stood a distressed Beatrice, reaching for her math notes that were in the hands of a second girl, clad in a cheerleading outfit and her hair in a tight ponytail. The room was a mess; obviously the culprit being Mandy. She must have torn the room apart trying to find what she came in there for. She didn't see Hilly standing there and she took that moment to come up behind her and snatch the notes back for her new friend. That made Mandy pissed. She spun around and looked over Hilly, not impressed with what she saw.
"Who the hell do you think you are? You don't just grab shit out of other people's hands" she said bitterly, arms crossed.
"Well, you don't just go through other people's belongings without permission. This is our room, and if you want anything from either of us, you have to ask, and maybe we'll be nice and share" she said, that quick wit picking up right away. She didn't like this Mandy girl at all. Hilly never enjoyed the company of bitchy popular girls, and this was no exception. Crossing her arms, she stood her ground against Mandy.
"Now, can you get out of our room? I have to unpack"
"Not until I get those math notes!" she fought back. Hilly felt a smirk pull at her lips and she held them out, away from her.
"You want them? Come and get them, bitch!"
That is what set Mandy off. She lunged for Hilly, trying to grab the notes, but before she could, Hilly moved out of the way, causing Mandy to trip over her suitcases, falling face first out of the room. She was beyond pissed. With everyone looking at her, stifling giggles, she got up and rubbed her nose, clearly in pain a little.
"You better watch your back new girl. I'm the most popular girl in school. I have the power to destroy you..." she threatened. All Hilly did was roll her eyes and let out a snort as Mandy walked away. She handed Beatrice her notes, to which the girl smiled.
"That was amazing. No one really stands up to Mandy like that, or stands up for me for that matter. Thank you, you're a really good friend." Beatrice said. That made Hilly feel great.
"My first friend! This is great! Now I won't be so alone while I get the feel of the place!"
Beatrice helped her with her suitcases and once her stuff was all put away, they headed back out to go to lunch. But a beep from Beatrice's pocket stopped them. She pulled out her phone and checked to see who messaged her.
"Crap! It's Earnest. I totally forgot about helping him with his campaign speech for the class president election. I'm sorry, I can't miss this" she apologized. This didn't bother Hilly in the slightest. She was happy to see Beatrice involved in school events like that. It was so refreshing from the constant fights she kept seeing just as they walked from the school to the dorms and back again. She smiled and waved her off.
"Don't worry about it, I'll be fine. I remember my way from when we left" she reassured her.
She turned to leave to head out on her own, but was stopped short when she collided with someone. She fell back and landed on her butt, groaning a little.
"Damn...I should have been looking where I was going..."
She got up and brushed herself off, rubbing her arm in the process. This was awkward.
"I uh...my bad...I wasn't looking where I was walking..."
Hilly looked up to make eye contact with who she collided with, and once she saw those sharp brown eyes, with that scar above the right one, looking right into hers, she knew she'd never ever forget them.
Never in a million years...
