Disclaimer: same as last.
-11PM that night-
Chrissy looked to the left of her to see Alyssa was sleeping peacefully, a smile on her face, then she looked down on the floor to see Jamie lying on her side away from her. Chrissy carefully got out of her bed, opened the window slowly, got on the ledge when she saw a beam of light hit her door, she jumped down quickly then squatted under the frame. The dorm monitor looked out the window then closed it, Chrissy waited until she was sure that the monitor had left, then started sprinting towards the school hiding from the prefects when she had the chance to. When the last prefect walked by her she started sprinting again towards the back of the school where she saw Jimmy leaning against the brick building near a door, "I was beginning to think you weren't showing." He said as she rolled her eyes, "Me? Not show up for a fight? In your dreams." She said as he smirked at her, "C'mon we have to get moving, because I'm pretty sure the prefects are.." "HEY!" "Shit!" Jimmy said grabbing Chrissy's hand, "Where are we??" "Not now just run!" Jimmy said as Jimmy sprinted off, Chrissy right behind him, followed by a few prefects. Jimmy started running towards the gym and the empty swimming pool house, hoping that the two of them could get there before getting caught, Chrissy started falling behind trying to catch her breath as the two of them ran, "C'mon!" he said as she slowed down, "I cant, my legs are getting tired." She said as he grabbed her arm, "I am not letting you get caught on your first day here, now C'MON!" he said as he started running again, Chrissy was dragged behind him.
The two of them reached the Gym area as Jimmy opened the door to the abandoned pool, he threw Chrissy in, then closed the door behind him, padlocking it shut as Chrissy sat on the floor, panting. Jimmy watched carefully through the open crack as the prefects began splitting up to look for the two of them, he sat down on the floor, "As soon as their gone, we'll go back to the school." He said as Chrissy looked at him, "Are you NUTS?! We're going to get caught again!" she said as he 'shushed' her, "The last time I ran that hard was when I was running from the cops in town, that was maybe two years ago." She said laying on the ground as Jimmy looked at her. Chrissy looked at the ceiling as her legs pounded from the running, her heart was beating quickly, she was sweating from the adrenaline rush she had gotten from running, and then she felt something she had not felt in a long time, her walls starting to come down. Jimmy moved away from the door and sat next to her, making her look over at him, "Some night this turned out to be." He said as she smirked, "I haven't had a rush like that in awhile," she said, "it felt good." He looked down at her then looked straight ahead at the wall, "Your not as bad as my brother portrayed you to be," she said making him look at her again, "I think your just misunderstood like most of us sent to Bullworth." "Misunderstood is an understatement, I've been expelled from every school I've been sent to, except this one. Even though I suspect Gary and Jamie are still planning on me getting expelled." He said as she looked at him, "Why?" "Gary and Jamie are evil." Chrissy shook her head as she started hearing the prefects walking away from the gym area, Jimmy stood up and checked, "Well," he said, "if your still up to it we can go where I was going." Chrissy stood up, "What are we waiting for?" she asked.
Jimmy unlocked the padlock, stuck his head out, then proceeded to run back towards the school with Chrissy behind him. The two of them got to the basement door, Jimmy opened it, they both went in, and then he closed it behind Chrissy as she took off her leather jacket she was wearing throwing it on the floor. Jimmy grabbed her hand making her look down at it, then at him, "It's better if you stay close." He said as she rolled her eyes as he started walking to the infamous Hole. Chrissy looked around the basement to see different Halloween decorations on the floor, hanging off the ceiling, and some hanging from furnaces that no longer worked. Jimmy got to a room with a large gate surrounding what looked like a fighting arena, with fresh blood on the floor, probably from the different cliques fighting it out with each other. Jimmy jumped down into the Hole looking up at Chrissy, who looked down, suddenly getting goose bumps on her arms, "Are you gonna chicken out on me?" he asked as she looked at him, "No!" she said as he looked up at her, "Then c'mon you chicken, get down here!" Chrissy looked down again as she took a step back from the edge, "Really?" Jimmy asked putting his arms in the air, "We come all this way and your gonna chicken out?" Chrissy didn't answer and Jimmy sighed, "Look if it makes you feel better I won't knock you out like I did to Russell or Johnny." Chrissy went to jump down when a hand grabbed her around the forearm, "CHRISSY WHAT DO YA THINK YA DOIN!?" "Johnny!" she said turning around to face her big brother.
Chrissy had seen Johnny pissed before, but not this pissed, his eyes looked like they were going to spit fire. The rest of the Greasers, including Lola, stood behind Johnny as Jimmy's face went from sincere to stern in a matter of seconds. Chrissy looked at her brother who put her behind him as he looked down at Jimmy, "Tryin' to take my sista' away from me too Hopkins?!" "It was nothing like that Johnny!" Chrissy said as he turned towards her, "I told Jimmy I'd fight him." "YOU'D WHAT!? CHRISSY HAVE YOU GONE MAD!?" "Will you SHUT UP!" Chrissy yelled, "YOUR JUST LIKE MOM AND DAD! ALWAYS SAYING I'VE LOST MY MIND! THEN YOU WONDER WHY I'VE RUN AWAY FROM HOME SO MANY DAMN TIMES!" Johnny stepped back as Chrissy balled her fists, "C-Chrissy…calm down." "DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN!" she yelled again as Johnny cringed, "NOW GET OUT!" "B-but.." "OUT!" Johnny ran past his sister as the others followed suit. Chrissy held her fists tight as she jumped into the Hole, Jimmy got ready, because he knew now that she was out for blood after the confrontation with her brother. Chrissy swung as Jimmy put his arms up to protect his face, she grabbed his shirt collar, then threw him to the ground, sitting on his hips as her fist came down to hit his face, he grabbed it, and flipped her over onto her back Jimmy looked down at her as she looked up at him. Chrissy gave up and let her muscles go limp under him as he rose an eyebrow she looked away from him, which was when he noticed that she looked like she was going to cry.
Jimmy sighed getting off her and pulled her up onto her feet as she looked at the ground. The last time Jimmy had seen any girl act this way was when he dumped Beatrice for Pinky, Beatrice was the only other girl that he could say he actually cared for deeply other then Mandy. Jimmy climbed out of the Hole first then turned around as Chrissy held her hand up in silence for him to grab, he pulled her up as she looked at him, "I'm sorry." She muttered as he put a hand on her shoulder, "It's not your fault your asshole brother showed up and probably got the wrong idea of why I brought you down here," he said "c'mon, I'll take you back to the dorms." Chrissy looked at him with a slight smile as he started walking out the way they had came.
Chrissy and Jimmy walked in silence through the basement, Chrissy still looking at her feet, even though she wasn't paying attention she tripped over a brick catching herself on Jimmy's shirt making him go down on his knee. Jimmy caught her under her arm to keep her from falling face first onto the concrete floor, "I'm such a klutz…" she muttered, "You might be but your still a fighter, and a damn good one, you almost got my face with that swing." He said as she looked up at him, her eyes almost overflowing with tears, "You ok?" he asked as she shook her head, "No, I'm not ok. For the past fifteen years of my life my parents have always said there was something wrong with me, even though I'm smart I always got into fights, I always got suspended. Johnny was always stupid and dumb he was always trying to one-up me at everything…including his girlfriends that always cheat on him because he's so stupid! I ran away from home and I was always found sometimes I wish I was never born into my stupid family." She said the tears now flowing down her face and hitting the floor.
Jimmy was taken aback and did not know what to do, even though he wanted to console her, he didn't feel right doing so, and he knew that it would break his tough image if anyone saw. As Chrissy cried Gary, Jamie, and Alyssa had snuck down into the basement and were watching, camera ready if any was to happen, Jamie had a smirk on her face as Gary bit his tongue to hold back a chuckle. Jimmy sighed pulling her chin up so she would look at him, "We can't choose our families, we're born into whatever family decides to have us, I feel the same way about my mom, who's on her fifth honeymoon. Nothing I can do about it." He said as Chrissy wiped her eyes, "I know we can't chose our families, I wish we could sometimes." "I know." Chrissy looked at him as he looked at her. The two sat in silence again as Jimmy went to pull her up, she pulled him back down, her walls had finally come down with him, she wrapped her arms around him pulling him close, and kissed him.
Jamie's mouth dropped as Alyssa went wide-eyed while Gary took the picture, the three of them ran out of the basement, Gary laughing, "SUCCESS!" he said running back to the dorms with the two girls, "Wait, your not going to post that on the board are you?" Alyssa asked as she ran beside him, "You bet I am! SHEER GOLD!" he said as Jamie looked at Alyssa as she looked at her.
Jimmy broke away looking at Chrissy, then stood up, "That was wrong on so many levels." He said as Chrissy stood up he walked off away from her, not even bother to wait for her, Chrissy stood in her place for a few minutes before walking out after him, grabbing her jacket that she had left at the entrance. Chrissy walked back to the dorm with her head hung low like it was when they were walking out of the Hole area in the basement, only this time if she fell, she was staying where she was. When she reached the girl's dorm she walked in through the front door and into her room to see that Jamie and Alyssa were still asleep, she crawled into her own bed, closed her eyes, and drifted off into her dreams where no one could hurt her and no one could find her.
