Anyways, I would like to thank everyone who reviewed, you're great. And I hope you stick with me on this. Haha. Okay, well enough of my babbling, I'm just gonna start writing this. ENJOY.
CHAPTER 8
Risky Business
"This can't be good." Jimmy thought to himself as he passed by his fellow students in the hallways of the academy.
He looked straight ahead of him. His feet soon stopped dead in their tracks. What he had seen almost made him sick. No, we aren't talking about the sight of Algie getting pantsed by Tom and Wade. What he had seen was worse than that. He soon started to walk faster trying to avoid the promiscuous Lola as he looked down, quickly making his way to his locker. He had stopped to unlock it as Lola strutted next to him, pressing her back against the locker beside his.
"Hey Jimmy" Lola laughed as Jimmy tried not to pay attention to her, he gathered his books, slammed his locker shut and faced her.
"What do you want Lola?" he asked her, his face, white as Algie's underwear, soon to be filled with shades of yellow as he ran towards the bathroom in embarrassment.
"You already know what I want." She teased.
Then Jimmy heard something even worse.
"Jimmy!" a voice called. It belonged to Pinky. He looked over and faintly waved as she made her way toward him and Lola.
"Should you break her heart, Or I? Lola sneered. "Face it Jimmy, if you don't tell her, I will, in front of the whole school…." She threatened as she walked away. Pinky ran up to Jimmy and embraced him. She looked back at Lola and scoffed.
"What was that Tramp Lola doing talking to you?" she ordered, and she strongly emphasized the word 'tramp'.
"Oh? That? Nothing Princess…" he nervously assured her as he tried rushing past her, but she had caught up to him.
"Jimmy, what's the matter?" Pinky asked.
"Listen, I need to talk to you later…" he explained as the bell rang.
He sighed.
"I have English right now." He trailed off.
"I have chemistry. I'll see you at lunch James." She smiled as she kissed Jimmy on the check and walked off into the student-filled halls of Bullworth Academy.
"I'll see you…" Jimmy whispered.
Jimmy had an ass-load of problems. Too many for him to even count. He really didn't want to deal with any of them. Jimmy had way too much on his plate; firstly, he had a big football game next week that he had to prepare for. It was Bullworth's homecoming and the only game that they had a lock-in for the play offs. Next, he had a reputation to uphold, and he did not want "trash" like Lola Lombardi ruining that for him. Captain of the Football Team, Boxing Champ at the Glass Jaw Boxing Club in Old Bullworth Vale, Leader of both the Jocks and Preps, he didn't want anyone destroying that. Lastly, he was irrevocably in love with Veronica Davis, but had a girlfriend, Pinky Gauthier.
"What did you get yourself into Jim?" he asked himself.
He made his way to English. He walked into the room. Mr. Galloway, as well as Veronica acknowledged him. He walked towards the back of the room where he and Bif always sat. Jimmy sat into his seat, In front of Bif. Bif, being one of Jimmy's best friends, auto-matically stopped his inattentive pastime of doodling on his notebook and looked up at Jimmy.
"What's going on Jim?" Bif asked.
"I don't really know if I should tell you man..." Jimmy paused as a look of confusion flickered across Bif's face.
"Jim, c'mon, we've been friends since you moved here, now tell me." He demanded.
Mr. Galloway had already started his lecture on a new piece of literature that they had started reading, "The Great Gatsby".
"You see class, Jay Gatsby, a poor man, falls in love with Daisy. And what does Daisy have that Jay doesn't? She, unlike Mr. Gatsby here, has money. Back then would Daisy's parents ever accept this relationship? The hell they would! To them, Jay Gatsby was 'Trash', but then Jay went to war…And, Yes, Mandy?" Mr. Galloway asked.
"So…" Mandy stared while she had been blowing bubbles of gum, and twirling a piece of hair around her finger. "Is this book like that movie, "The Notebook"? Because I l love that movie!"
"…That's a rather…Interesting way to interpret it Mandy…" Mr. Galloway laughed to himself.
"Moving On!"
Jimmy sighed.
"I think I'm gonna break up with Pinky…" he breathed.
Bif's eyes widened.
"What!?" he whispered.
Jimmy nodded.
"You can't do that!!!" Bif warned. "Homecoming is in a week! And we can't have you playing like crap over a break-up with Pinky!"
"I know…" Jimmy shook his head. "But what should I do?"
"You shouldn't break up with her that would just crush her. And Pinky is the type of girl to hold a grudge. So, bad Idea!!"
"I'll play fine, Bif. I got you as my offensive line backer." Jimmy responded.
"That may be true, But I'd advise you not to until after Homecoming."
The bell rang.
"I'll see you at practice Jim, we can talk about this later…" Bif said as he got up from his desk.
Jimmy steadily made way out of the English room. He admired the banners and trophies as he walked down the halls of Bullworth Academy. He walked past the Janitors closet as he felt something jerk him in.
It was obviously dark, he couldn't see for the life of him, he felt someone grab him by the shirt, push him up against the wall, and heard them lock the door. He turned the light on, and to his horror it was Lola.
"Hi Jimmy." She giggled.
"What are you doing!!?" He yelled. "Are you crazy?!!"
"No…" she walked towards him, and pressed herself against him.
"Did you break the news to our little debutante?" she asked.
"No…" he tried breaking away from her grasp.
She slapped him across the face.
"What the hell was that for!!?" he screamed as he raised a hand to touch his face.
"You better tell her soon!" she pointed a finger at him. "Or else, no girl at this school will EVER want to date you again after this Jimmy Hopkins!"
"And whys that?" he asked.
"Because, when Pinky finds out you've been messing around on her, she's gonna leave you, and when Veronica finds out that ever since you moved here, you've been little Mr. Cassanova, and then she's not gonna want you." She evilly explained.
"You really are crazy, aren't you?" he coldy asked her.
"You bet, Jimmy boy." She had gotten closer to him.
"Will you stop!?" he roared as he shoved her off of him.
"Oh, I love it when you are angry Jimmy…" she seductively spoke.
"Well, you better get used to it until you leave me and Veronica alone." He said as he tried to unlock the door.
The bell rang for the second class of the day.
"Would you mind letting me out of here!?" he snarled at her.
"Sure Jimmy…" she nodded as she opened the door without ease.
"…Ladies first." He spoke monotonously.
"See you Jimmy…." She laughed as she walked away.
Jimmy sighed. Contemplating whether or not he should take Bif's advice.
"What have I gotten myself into?" he asked himself as he put his hand over his face and slowly dragged it downward. He collected himself, and then left for Gym.
