This one is a little different than the others, because it has a insight into the mind of Gary. Enjoy!

Chapter 14
Last Chance
Dr Crabblesnitch looked at Gary then at me. I wished he would just get it over and done with already, shout or do something. The silence was more torture than anything. Gary still remained completely calm, like nothing bothered him. He was staring at something on the headmaster's desk.
The headmaster stood up, he didn't look at us this time. "I am a tolerant man.." He began. I wanted to laugh, he wasn't tolerant. "I listen to people. I have heard plenty about your shenanigans. The two of you seem to have run wild, but I shall stop this before it hits its peak."
His speech carried on for a hour, all of it on the same track. I felt something on my hand, I looked down and Gary had started stroking my hand. I entwined my fingers though his and held his hand. This was the side of Gary I cared about, the side he didn't show often.
Dr Crabblesnitch finished his speech and sat back down. "There have been some serious accusations about you two, and until I find some matching truth behind them, you two are to keep away from each other and attend therapy.
"Therapy?" Me and Gary said in unison. Gary didn't seem quite as calm now, in fact he looked angry.
"I do not want to see you in here again," the headmaster said.
Gary let go of my hand and walked out of the office, I ran after him.
"Gary..." I said.
But he didn't stop, he carried on walking.
... Gary ...
I sat in a familiar office, I'd been here too many times. Crabblesnitch was losing his touch, the amount of times I'd been sent here, you'd think I'd have been dumped in Happy Volts for sure. Dr Bambillo sat in his chair, holding the clipboard and looking at me like he was doing me a huge favour. I seriously don't see how this hypocrite could be the answer to all my problems, when the middle aged weirdo had to open and close the door three times before he sat down. He had a four leaf clover tie pin on his maroon tie. On his desk I could see a lucky rabbit's foot. The guy was as much a nutcase as us 'patients.'
"So, Mr Smith, tell me about school," he said. His pen ready to write down everything I said.
"Well, it's a dump. The teachers act like they're curing cancer or some crap," I replied. He knew my opinions of school, he asked me every single time I came here.
... Zoe ...
I never thought I'd end up here, in therapy probably going to be put on medication as well. Deep down I blamed Gary, if he'd just taken his pills and not gone psycho in my room, then none of this would have happened. Dr Bambillo was a nice man, he made me feel welcome.
"So, Miss Taylor, tell me about school," He said.
"Some of the teachers a nice, some not as much," I replied. I was unsure on what I should say.
... Gary ...
He scribbled down what I had said, he probably had hundreds of copies of that. My opinion of Bullworth never changed.
"How about your friends?"
"Friends? Friends are for the weak, I don't need them." I looked out the window, there was Zoe. She was something; the one thing I could do with out, but the one thing I couldn't keep away from. I didn't have sappy feelings for her or anything. "There is this one girl, she never makes things easy for herself."
... Zoe ...
As he wrote down what I had told him, I looked at my hand. For one second Gary tried to comfort me, it gave me a little hope that he just might feel something for me. It was a long shot, but just maybe he might.
"How about your friends?"
"There's Lola, she's been my bestfriend since the first day of school. We fall out sometimes, but we always get over it. Mandy, I used to completely hate her, but when I got to know her, I really do get along with her." I felt once I started talking, I couldn't stop. I told him all about Russell and the guys, and how guilty I felt for not hanging around with them anymore. After I told him all about my friends, I thought of Gary. "There's this guy, he's completely unpredictable and sometimes I think it would be better if I could avoid him, but I never can."
... Gary ...
I watched the clock, thank god this was almost over. Now he can give me more pills and I can get out of this dump.
"How do you feel, Mr Smith?"
"Fantastic," I said sarcastically. This guy was such a moron.
... Zoe ...
I talked more about Gary, not mentioning his name or getting into too much detail. It felt nice to talk to someone about it. It was a lot harder at Bullworth, in case Christy was lurking around ready to start rumours.
"How do you feel, Miss Taylor?"
"A lot better," I said honestly.
When I left the office, I did feel better about myself. I walked back to the school, thinking about everything I'd told Dr Bambillo. I didn't notice Mr Burton lurking around by the gates wearing sunglasses and a fisherman's hat. Mandy was waiting for me.
"Zoe!" she called to me.
Mr Burton jumped with surprise, he dropped what he was holding. I looked down and saw some girl's underwear, there was a pair that looked just like some I had. Mandy came running over, to see what was up.
"Hey! These are mine!" she said. She held up a pair of panties.
"You pervert!" I yelled and punched him in the head.
I wasn't thinking, I just did it. Mr Burton grabbed my arm, he dragged me towards the main building.
I defiantly wouldn't have to go to therapy this time.
