A/N: I know someone has been taking a look at this series. There's no way in heck I have 40 views after checking it 1 time myself :P Also, I intend to update the chapters everyday so please write a review. In addition, my current avatar is Leo. Eventually I think I might draw up comics or something later on!~ I'll try to make these chapters longer so I can speed up the story.
Summary: Leo has just gotten to know some of her peers at Bullworth: Jocks, Preps, some Nerds, and some Greasers. She has yet to figure out what's going on this year because of a certain Gary Smith who she seems to be concerned about. NO ONE WILL ANSWER HER QUESTIONS ABOUT HIM! She is friends with Pinky Gauthier, but has decided against joining the preps. She had continued to have weird dreams of her past. So now…
Chapter 3 :: Gary Smith
"LEO! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE US!"
"Leo, please don't go…"
I woke up from another bizarre dream. I've been having bizarre dreams lately since I started attending the academy. Hold on, who was that in my dream. No, I should say who are they. There were two boys in my dream, one with light blonde hair, pretty long, that covered his eyes and another with short black hair, his eyes had an almost golden hue to them and is quite squinty. I feel like they should be someone I know, someone I've met before. Of course, it could be that I made it all up in my mind… No, I'm almost certain that they're real.
As I got out of bed, I noticed that it was 10:48 AM.
"You have got to be kidding me. I am so freaking late." I said in annoyance.
I ran out of bed and got ready to go. It took ten minutes to get ready today. "I should set a record for the fastest stripper one day." I laughed, but I knew this was no time to joke around. Then, as I rushed out my bedroom door, I heard something behind me in the hallway.
"Where are you going?" Luke said rubbing his eyes as he just seemed to roll out of bed.
"School, and if you don't hurry, you'll be late-er as well." I said trying to answer quickly.
Luke laughed, "It's Saturday. No school."
In my mind I thought, 'shit', this is really embarrassing and I wouldn't mind having someone put a volcano 4000 firework in front of me right now and wake me up from this situation. Unfortunately, it wasn't a dream, and I was not about to be blown up by a firework. As I put my casual clothes back on, I heard the doorbell ring.
"I'll get it!" Luke said running down the stairs in excitement.
I wonder who it could be, definitely not a neighbor. All of them seem way to egotistical and condescending to be knocking on our door. I could tell it was someone Luke knew since he allowed them in and I heard footsteps coming up the stairs to my room. That's when someone put their hands in front of my eyes like a blindfold.
"Guess who!" It was a man's voice, not one I can recall. I turned around to be met with two sets of eyes and two boys who seemed to be my age.
"Well that's not fair", the blonde boy pouted, then he looked worried, "You don't seem like you remember us."
I shake my head. He hugs me and brings me close. "We've missed you Leo."
I'm a little caught off-guard by his embrace. For some reason, he seems familiar. Could it be, the boys from my dreams?
"So it's true, you did lose your memory from the car accident." The golden-eyed boy said in a low calming voice.
Memory…Lost memory… I've always hated that word, a memory is never remembered exactly as is, it turns out to be just something we had imagined it to be. During the accident I had with my mother and brother, I remember after waking in the hospital I had a head wrap bandage, arm cast, chest cast, and leg cast. Luke suffered minor scratches and a sprained arm. The doctor notified me of what went on and I just nodded my head to let him know I understood. A few moments later, I had to go through a machine that took an x-ray of my brain. Apparently, I fell unconscious from a concussion and had forgotten a few things in the process.
"Ms. Croft, may I ask you a few questions." The doctor said as a nurse entered with a clipboard.
"Yes." I said still suffering a bit from the shock of the accident.
"What happened earlier?"
"My mom was driving my brother and I home after I got done with school. We got into an accident. She shielded my brother and I from the car that was coming towards us with her body."
"Good." The doctor replied looking at the nurse to indicate to write that down."
"Where do you go to school?"
"…I don't know."
"Do you have friends at school?"
"Yes."
"Who are they?"
"I don't know."
"What grade are you in?"
"I don't know."
After noticing this pattern of me not knowing the answer, he stopped, flipped through the pages on the clipboard and asked me other questions.
"Who is your mother and father?"
"My mother is Marceline Rutherford-Croft and my papa is Olivier Croft."
"What do they do for work?"
"Papa is an architect, mother is…"
The doctor shook his head in disbelief at me since I was struggling to answer.
"Any siblings?"
"Yes, Luke is my one and only sibling, he's my younger brother sitting there." I pointed to the window with my free arm that showed the outside of the room I was in. Luke was sitting there waving with his hand that wasn't in a cast.
"Good. Now, Ms. Croft. You are aware of the condition of your parents correct?"
"I know papa is deceased, mother is…" My eyes widened, "Where is my mother?"
He shook his head and I started to feel tears forming. Luke could tell I was crying, he already heard the news earlier. He placed his hand on the window and I looked over. I mouthed to him that we'll be okay. I have to stay strong for him. I have to.
When I came back to reality, one of the boys had me in his embrace, the other hugging the both of us. I had been crying. I can't remember who these boys are, but I know that I should remember soon. Luke stepped in on this scene with his friend Pedro.
"Umm, hey Leo, Pedro and I are going to the park." Luke said, looking away in embarrassment as if he witnessed something he shouldn't have.
"We're gonna go stuff kids in trash cans!"
"What are trash cans?" Luke asked.
"You don't know what a trash can is? You'll see." Pedro said as he jumped on the railing to slide down the staircase.
"Bin*." I whispered to Luke while still in this boys embrace.
He nodded to say thanks and ran after Pedro. Then the boy still hugging me let go. His eyes were strained as if he was going to cry too.
"Uh, let's start over", he sniffled rubbing his finger under his nose and looked at me with his blue eyes, "I'm Auel Van Der Velden. I was your friend back in elementary and middle school."
"I'm Sven Oakley. I've only known you since middle school." The other boy said.
"So then, we were friends?" I said looking puzzled.
"Yeah, we still are, I hope." Auel said, his hand scratching the back of his head.
Sven looked at him and then back at me and smiled to lighten the mood, "We transferred to your new school."
Something came back to me. "Sventus!" I proclaimed jabbing him in the side. His eyes widened and so did Auel's.
"You remembered me! I haven't heard someone say that name in a long time", Sven said holding his side where I jabbed him, "Maybe there's still hope yet. You'll be able to remember everything."
We all started talking again about the past, well mostly Sven and Auel did the talking but I ended up recalling some things and it all started to make sense. Eventually, we left my house and headed towards Bullworth on our bikes and I told them about my experiences in school so far. We stopped in front of the boys dorm and that's where I saw him, Jimmy. He was running out of the boys dorm and stopped when he saw my face. Auel and Sven noticed the shocked expression on my face to see this pervert that I told them about and they just smiled and walked into the dorms. Jimmy slowly made his way to me with his hand behind his back.
"Can't stay away from the daddy of this school, huh?" He grinned.
"As if!" I said stopping him from coming closer by placing my palm in front of me, my arm outstretched of course.
"Listen, I was actually about to come look for you to apologize about our incident." He explained and handed me a bouquet of flowers.
"What? You take these from the girls' dorm?" I gestured to some similar flowers that could be spotted from where we were standing.
He shook his head, "No, I'm the daddy around here and that don't mean I give cheap presents."
I raised an eyebrow to him, "Right… See you around Jimmy" Sniffing the flowers, I turned around quietly said, "thanks", and headed into the boys' dorm to help Auel and Sven unpack.
I forgot to ask them which room was theirs so I ended up knocking on some of them and the ones that had no answer, I opened, because from what I pieced together, Auel likes listening to music with his headphones on at full blast. He'll probably be deaf one day, most likely. As I jiggled the knob to one of the rooms, I entered the room of two unfamiliar boys; one was playing video game that looked like whack-a-mole, the other rehearsing lines from a script.
"Who are you?" The blonde boy with a Hollywood haircut said, "I think you already know who I am, Trent Northwick? I'm a star, baby."
"Hahaha, Russell smash!" The other boy said in the background.
"Oh, I'm Leo, sorry wrong room!" I exclaimed about to turn and run away when Trent grabbed my arm.
"Wanna play shirts vs. skins?" He said with a sly smile.
Before I could react someone grabbed me from behind and pulled me away. I was about to thank my savior when I noticed he was wearing a leather jacket. He must be one of the Greasers. I looked at my hand that was in his and forgot that I had to help Auel and Sven until we were outside the boys dorm. Still being dragged I reached into my coat shorts pocket and grabbed out my cell to text Auel to let Sven know that something came up because it didn't look like this boy was going to let go of me anytime soon, but then he stopped at the Auto-shop.
"What the hell do you think you were doing? And wearing that of all things?" This boy still had his back turned to me. "Are you cheating on me again? You slut."
"Excuse me? Slut? I don't know who the hell you even are and I'm no slut mate!" I angrily seethed at this boy with brown hair. He slowly turned to me and was really red in the face.
"Oh, sorry, I thought you were – have you seen a girl about your height named Lola?" This boy had defined cheekbones and jowls, he wore a stud in his right ear. Actually I thought He was rather handsome. Oh, I know, this must be the Vincent boy from the yearbook.
I shook my head, "No, sorry." My cheeks flushed pink. I always get this way around cute guys.
"Johnny!" I hear a girl's voice perk up from behind him. "What are you doing with this tramp? I thought you said I was the only girl for you, daddy-o", She said jabbing him in the chest with her finger first then gripping his leather jacket so he could be pulled closer to her.
"You are, Lola! You're my queen." Johnny said, holding her hands that were still clinging to his jacket.
'Really? Tramp? Slut?', I thought to myself as I left the two in their moment. I sighed and quickly tried to walk away but then Lola called out to me.
"Hey, girly", she said, I stopped in my tracks and pivoted to look back at her with a questioning expression, "sorry, I called you a tramp. You know, I'm really nice to everybody…really nice." She says giving Johnny a sexy smile while he tilts his head so his forehead touches hers.
I do my best to smile and turn around to walk back to the boys' dorm while holding my hand up in the air to signify my departure from them. I can hear more footsteps around them and one pair right behind me. Not again.
"Hey, if you ever need any repairs on your bike or anything, you can always come to the auto-shop, ask for me." A greaser boy spun me around and held out a paper with his name and number with Johnny's name and number labeled under boss. 'Ricky Pucino, huh?'
"Thanks" I said, I then made my way inside the boys' dorm one more time.
"It's the final lap with Marion in the lead." An announcer on the Tele was broadcasting the bits that were going on for swimming. Auel seemed to have made friends with Pete seeing as they were both watching the swim team together intently. Sven had also made friends with some nerds talking about the trajectory of the throwing darts should be forty-five degrees higher in order to reach a target which was unfortunately uncle's face with the word, 'loser' on it with red paint. I heard screams down the hallway and barely made it out of the way of a flying rat which then hit Cornelius in the face. I closed my eyes and sighed, I knew this was going to be a bad idea to come back in here.
Suddenly, I feel a hand on my shoulder.
"You know girls aren't allowed in here and vice versa for the girls' dorm. Don't let the prefects see you breaking any rules, they'll hurt you." Gary said in a snarky tone.
"Oh, I don't intend on staying here. I was actually about to leave." I say as I shrug his hand off my shoulder and make my way to the entrance of the dorm. I then hear voices from the outside of the doors.
"You said there was a girl in here", A voice said. Wait, I know that voice, he was at uncle's house during the summer. Yeah, it's Seth the prefect. Gary seems to have noticed my scared expression and take my hand and leads me into his room. How is it I know this is his room? Well, for starters, there is pill bottles on the dresser, and the pills that were in them in the trash. You hear things being around the school even more so during classes with Christy. Gary is a sociopath. I remember hearing her say that during gym the other day as we cheered-on the jocks during practice.
Gary's room is connected to a bathroom, and his room is a single room, meaning he is the only one living in here. He shoved me into the bathroom shower and turned it on. I could hear Seth knock furiously on Gary's door, but Gary just shouted. "In the shower, I'll be out in fifteen you pervs." He sounded very sarcastic. Seth grunted and we could hear his footsteps get further away and eventually he left. Now here I was, in the boys' dorm, in a boy's room. Not just any boy, but Gary Smith, and not just his room, his shower with him covering my mouth as the two of us stood in the bathroom fully clothed. Wait a second…I looked down and realized…
"Shit." I noticed I'm wearing a white blouse and denim shorts. The shorts were fine, but the shirt, the shirt has now become see through.
Gary seemed to notice and took off his now wet uniform trousers and threw it in the hamper. He made his way back to me in his boxers, which didn't get wet because he stood further away from the shower nozzle, and turned off the shower. Then, he proceeded to his room to put on a dark gray pajama shirt and pants.
"Here", he said holding out a long teal shirt to me in the shower with curtain still moderately covering me, "take it, or do you want to die of pneumonia in there?"
I took the shirt and undressed myself, hiding from Gary with the curtain fully closed and I put all my wet clothes in his hamper: shirt, shorts, and all.
"Looks like you'll be stuck here tonight", he said patting the spot next to him on his bed when he noticed I stepped out of the bathroom.
"Umm…can I sleep on the floor? Or could you for that matter?" I asked pleadingly.
"Why? So, I can get attacked by those sick rats?" he responded sarcastically. "Is that any way to treat your savior?"
I blush, "No, it's just I – ", I stand in front of him, legs closed awkwardly.
"You….?" Gary says in amusement. "Aww, did I make you wet or something?"
"Quite literally, yes!" I say holding my hair and twisting it to get the remaining water out of it since Gary did not offer a towel, "That, and – " I blush more.
" What? Just say what you gotta say or I'm going to sleep!" He yelled at me as I looked at the clock it was already 11:00 PM. Boy, how time flies.
"I'm not wearing any…hmmpphmmmph", with my hand in a fist in front of my I averted my eyes looking away bright pink.
"I can't hear you moron." Gary said annoyed.
Just then someone opened the door to his room, the door apparently was unlocked again and this time a rush of wind went through my legs and the room. It was just enough to lift the front of the shirt quite a ways. I gripped it in a flurry, and pulled it down instantly. At the door was Petey. He blushed a color of red or pink that I didn't even know existed and slammed the door shut. Gary sat on his bed eyes wide open in shock. I just flashed him my v-card. I look down embarrassed, and quietly go over to lock the door, Gary watching my every move.
Remember when I said that I wished for a volcano 4000 to wake me up from the embarrassment earlier? Well, any day now firework manufacturers.
I was not at all prepared for what Gary did I looked back at him, he was giving me a rather crooked smile. He got out of bed, turned out the lights, and pulled me down under his sheets. I was in bed with Gary Smith
Bin = In Australia, trash cans are more commonly referred to as rubbish bin(s) or bin(s).
A/N: This may be moving rather fast, but that rated M scene is coming right up after this chapter, sorry about the tease, but this is the 8th page on MS word and I can't stand looking at this computer any longer. Gary is a sociopath and also, apparently, a sex fiend. Jk, but really, he is physically attracted to Leo, just as much as everyone else, but he may be going too far with her at the moment. Let's just see what happens in the next chapter…
