A/N: Well, yeah, I know that the last chapter was kind of short. I had nothing to think of to put in that chapter. I thought adding Lola in was a good twist because she uses her body, as a weapon. She uses her looks and sexual confidence to manipulate guys into doing stuff for her, with Jimmy being the only one she fails to use. In the game, we don't really get much of a back story on her, so I made Lola be a lot more devious and smarter than what is shown in the game. And I'm using this for the story so that Lola blackmails Jimmy, and makes a bet with him. But there will be more in this chapter than just a Scene with Jimmy and Lola. And I better start writing it right now instead of just Jabbering on and on.
CHAPTER SEVEN
How Can You Be Sure?
It was morning. The weather was cold and rainy at Bullworth Academy as the students rushed to their morning activities while covering their heads for fear of rainfall, The sky was a pale grey as the rain from above pitter-pattered on the concrete. Jimmy and Veronica were lying on his bed inside the boy's dorm. It was Tuesday morning; Veronica had stayed with Jimmy the night before.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"…What do we do Jimmy?"
"We just keep doing what we're doing. It's all we can do." He said as he kissed her.
"Jimmy…"
"No, don't worry." He assured her as she locked her arms around him.
"Why you?" she asked as worry took over her face.
"I made a lot of mistakes, Veronica." He spoke. "None that I'm proud of either."
Jimmy paused. Veronica got closer to him. She whispered in his ear.
"We all make mistakes, nobody's perfect Jimmy, its okay." She said as she kissed his neck.
"I just wish that my past would quit haunting Me." He sighed as he got up, breaking Veronicas hold on him. He walked toward the window and stood silently for a moment.
"Jimmy…tell me." She said. He looked at her with sad disbelief. He sighed.
"I…don't know if I can." He said quietly.
"Jimmy, please." She begged. "I wanna know. I wanna know who you were in the past. I wanna know every mistake, every girlfriend, and every part of you…."
Veronica had risen from Jimmy's bed and walked over to him. She wrapped her arms around him as he asked.
"Why? Why does who I was two years ago matter?"
"Because." She answered. "Who you were, Is part of who you are Jimmy Hopkins, and I'm willing to accept what I'm about to hear."
"Are you sure about this?" he asked her. "I mean, are you really sure that you wanna hear what I'm about to say?"
She nodded as her lips met with his. After awhile Veronica's hands shifted down towards his waist, their lip pressed harder together, but was short lived when Jimmy broke away.
"Do you want me to tell you or not?" he laughed.
"Yeah, I do." She answered.
"Okay, I'll tell you." He said. "I'll tell you everything." As he grabbed her hand and they both went to lie down on his un-made bed.
That was 15 hours ago. What went down those many hours ago ran both through Veronica and Jimmy's heads as they lay together in Jimmy's bed. Veronicas head was rested on Jimmy's bare chest. Veronica was already awake. She studied his room. Shortly, a picture had caught her eye.
It was on Jimmy's nightstand beside his bed, next to his alarm clock. She felt an intense feeling of Jealousy sweep over her as she saw the picture. Jimmy was in his football uniform, it was heavily covered from head to toe in mid, his face, and hair covered in sweat, with smudged and streaked face paint under his eyes. He sported a half-hearted smile, with a dismal look in his eyes.
"Must've been the championship game." She said to herself.
It wasn't Jimmy that made Veronica crazy. Beside him was a tall, brunette girl, she was slender, with brown eyes, short-to medium length hair and to Veronica she was the luckiest girl in the world. It was Pinky In her cheerleading outfit, standing closely beside Jimmy, with a smile of self-satisfaction. Veronica hated it. She wanted Jimmy all to herself. But she knew that Pinky had him.
She always had him.
And it killed her knowing that. She closed her eyes and tried to go back to sleep as she felt Jimmy's lips press against her forehead.
She slowly opened her eyes to see that Jimmy was lying there, with his eyes halfway open, he was half asleep, and he had a smile on his face.
"Morning." He grinned. But he saw that something wasn't right.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Pinky…" she sighed, motioning towards the nightstand.
"That was a long time ago…" he said. "That's not my life anymore Veronica, It feels like ages ago, A lifetime ago. I'm not proud of who I used to be, what I've done to people." he looked over to her.
"But that's changed now. You're everything to me now." He told her. "I don't want you to feel threatened by Pinky or anyone else, because at the end of the day, I'm thinking of you, and it's you that I want."
Veronica turned over so that she was on top of Jimmy.
"I…love you Jimmy…" she said, and she never sounded more serious about anything as she was of this.
"I love you too Veronica." He replied as Veronica kissed him passionately. Jimmy's hands took Veronica shirt and pulled it up, further, and further as the alarm clock on Jimmy's nightstand had rang for 8'oclock.
Jimmy sighed with agitation.
"Time to go back to the madness." He laughed.
"No!" Veronica laughed, as she buried her head in Jimmy's chest. "I wanna stay here, with you..."
"Well, we have to go to school, If one of the teachers notices that both of us are gone, they'll come looking, and I don't want Pinky finding out about us…at least not yet." He chuckled as he got up and walked over to his Armoire.
"Do you have your school clothes with you? – Oh, of course you do." He chuckled as he took a white button up shirt out of the Armoire and put it on.
"Well of course, I only ran as fast as I could from the Gym all the way to the dorm, in nothing but my school uniform." She laughed as she put on her Bullworth Vest. Jimmy had just gotten done putting on His shoes and letter Jacket over his Aquaberry vest.
"You ready?" he asked.
"More than ever." She said as they walked out the dorm hand in hand.
"Wait-"he stopped.
"What?" she asked.
"We have to make it look like we're not. An item." He explained.
"Oh..yeah. I forgot" she replied morosely.
"Lets go," he smiled as they walked to the main building.
A/N: I know, these chapters seem kind of lacking lately. Don't worry; something interesting will happen soon, even if it takes 10 chapters to get there. I'm just kidding; otherwise this would drag on to be forever. And nothing interesting would happen and you guys would get bored to death. Which you probably are right now, but anyways, review! And stick around! =)
