You already know my disclaimer ;D
But, seeing we have a new character... Rusty and Gina are mine; Nicky is DBGs; Bully is not either of ours

MollyMORPHINE- :D I'm so glad you liked it!
lov- Yes, Fidelity was an amazing story. Totally caputred Johnny; thats probably more accurate than mine because Johnny really was floored by her. I dunno why- the slut looks like a pig! lol
Josh- I try not to dwell on description too much, but I'll be a little more specific in the next chapter she rolls up in to help you out; k? :D If that doesn't work, y'know the movie Grease? Well, she has Rizzo's face and body, but Frenchie's hair.. only its blonde. Okay? Hope that helps.
DBG- Unless you get that fic you've been promising me up I may never update after this chapter. nyah-nyaahh-nnyyaahh! ...maybe...


CHAPTER 9
"In Which Johnny's sure.. of something"

He didn't really remember meeting Lola, in fact, it was all sort of a blur in his mind, he remembered coming to Bullworth for the first time and being nervous in one class, and meeting a really nice girl who was so kind to him. He hadn't been positive, but it was a sound hunch, that the same girl in that class was the girl in his next class who'd giggeled at him. He talked to her. That had been Lola. Later, he learend the girl from his first and second class were not the same girls- the first girl had actually been that Jock bitch Mandy. Now that his head was clearing up he was sure he'd have been better off with Mandy rather than keeping Lola around.

He remembered now, how well she'd manipulated his heart. He'd loved her and was just blind to the fact that she was playing him. He didn't deserve that.. he hadn't ever done a thing to turn her away. Even against his boys' wishes he dated her. He was a fool- but he couldn't shake her from his mind- he was hopelessly in love with her. Always thinking about her. Wanting her. It was probably lust.. but he shook his head when that thought rolled in because if it was lust he would never have cried over losing her. Who cares if all you want is sex? But he wanted her all to himself. It had been love, a form of it- his first love, maybe. Blind, foolish. But he didn't think he could give out his heart again.

It probably sounded pathetic, big, bad Johnny Vincent dying over some broad. He'd said that to Jimmy Hopkins when they were conversing under the bridge to New Coventry- he'd gotten so worked up and Jimmy just stood there looking at him as he ranted. He hadn't minded Jimmy so much until he found out Lola was kissing him too. What the hell? Alright, the Preppies he kind of got- they were rich- catered to her every need, and Algie.. well, ew, but, he was smart. And then, Jimmy- ugly, twisted.. short. Johnny didn't understand that one.

"I know you're the king" Jimmy had murmured

"But my Queen is a slut.." his hands snapped down and his throat dried up, "..and now everybody's laughin' at me! Well not anymore!"

He did, in the end, kicked the asses of three Trust-Fund Bitches, but, it still hurt. It hurt. He'd had to deal with it eventually and did that some hours later- venting and hollering screaming- kicking. Throwing the biggest fit he'd ever thrown in his life. He thought he could cope now- even pushed Lola physically off his chest when she advanced on him. Not long later he was in Happy Volts because of that bitch. Who was he fooling? He was an idiot.

Then summer came, oh, summer. No more Lola. No more them. He hated it then- but was sure now it was better that way. Johnny was totally sure of that! Peanut was happier too- he didn't know why his boys cared who he was dating or not- but apparently they did.. he sighed.

Dammit- he was supposed to be studying for his final exam but he'd gotten sidetracked. Okay- so.. So V-8 engines.. he truend back to the task at hand.

"Hey Johnny. Can we talk?" Rusty asked a few nights later when she saw her brother rushing up the steps to his room

"Yeah?" He turned to her, "Wha's up Rust?"

She grimaced, "I.. I wanna know how much you trust Gary."

"Not much," he shrugged one shoulder

"Could you learn to trust him?"

"Probabably not."

"Would you try for me?"

He gave her a look, "Why?"

"..He wants to get back at Jimmy Hopkins- and.. I think he deserves that!" she said quickly- not wanting Johnny to interrupt her with some sexist comment like 'girls don't fight' when he knew very well she did- and excelled at it.

"Rusty he's a fuckin' psycopath, I'm not leading my boys into a world of shit because of your obsession with this kid."

"You led them into shit over Lola" she spat back

"Thats different!" he yelled

"Was not! It was worse than what I'm asking because at least my reaosn isn't selfish!"

"I'm not arguing with you, Rusty" Johnny said, "I'm letting him in my clique because I have to and thats it."

"...please?"

"Who are you and what have you done with my sister?"

"I'm serious- please?"

Johnny sighed, looking at her, "Is it really that important? Why the hell's he matter?"

"Johnny, he needs someone. Like you needed someone- thats why you went to Lola, right?"

He grimaced now, "Rust, I think you're an idiot."

"I think the same thing about you."

"If he fucks up its your ass on the line"

"I can handle that."

A few moments of silent and Johnny nodded with a huff, "Okay. What's the psycho's plan?" He was sure if worse came to worse he could beat Gary in a fist-fight, and hell, if he couldn't, he was sure Gina would come and fuss over him if he was hospitalized.


Sorry for its shortness. I worte it in a little under an hour- and I just needed a filler.
