Sleep really does the body good! When I woke up the next day, I felt refreshed and sure of myself. I wasn't going to let Gary intimidate me anymore. I had him doing that the whole time I first began at Bullworth and I wasn't going to stand for it again. I got dressed and headed to the library to meet up with Petey.

"So you're just gonna sit there and not care?" questioned Petey when I told him of my plans. I leaned back in my chair and propped my feet up on a desk.

"Nope. I'm not gonna rush Gary. I'm gonna live my life to the fullest! If it's my time to go, then I'll go out with a fight! I'm not gonna let some crazed lunatic get me all worked up!"

"Well what if he catches you off guard and then—''

"Aww Petey! You worry more about me than I do!" I said, pinching his little cheeks like an Auntie would to their favorite nephew.

"Stop it! That's not funny Jimmy! Gary's coming to kill you and you don't care? You have to be…prepared!" I rolled my eyes, smiling.

"I've been through worse, kido. Trust me, I'll be alright." I assured Petey.

Petey didn't believe that I was going to be alright and he insisted that I do some extra boxing and things like that, but honestly I wasn't paying attention. My mind was wandering back to my subconscious worries about Gary. Honestly, if I were Gary, which thank god I'm not, I'd have iced me as soon as I got out! But then again, I wouldn't have nothing else to do afterwards. Sucks when all you've got going for you is revenge.

Once Pete was done nagging me like my mother, I decided to ditch my classes and head to the movies to lighten up the damper mood. Maybe I'd even meet up with Pinky for a little something in the alleyway. But I feel bad, thinking that way cause I was like really in love with Lilah…fuck you Gary…fuck you.
