Chapter nineteen: My Heart goes 'Thump-Thump'

The next morning Juliet woke up with something tugging at her waist. Looking under the sheets, she realized that they were Jimmy's hands. She tried to get up, but his hands prevented her from getting up from the bed. So she lay there, staring at the ceiling and at his walls. Suddenly, her eyes fell upon a pair of panties hanging from two tacks on the wall… and only on the other side of the bed. To say the least, her face flushed. Was Jimmy a dirty perv? She shook her head and rolled over, startling Jimmy.

"Good mornin'…" Jimmy said in a groggily voice. You could tell he had just woken up. Juliet laughed slightly; still wondering about the panties.

"Good mornin' Jim-bo." Jimmy yawned and sat up in the bed. Stretching his arms, he wrapped them around Juliet's shoulder leisurely.

"Somethin' wrong?" Jimmy asked, seeing the look on her face. Juliet shook her head, but still had a frustrated look on her face. Jimmy pecked her cheek.

"Come on, I know somethin' is wrong." Jimmy said. Juliet looked at the wall and then back at him.

"What are the panties on the walls for?" Jimmy looked up and sighed.

"Yeah, I really got re-decorate."

"You ignored the question…" Juliet said in an agitated voice. Jimmy sighed and looked up at the panties.

"Mr. Burton gave a pair to me and I really don't know where the other came from." Juliet's brows flurried.

"What? Mr. Burton?" she asked while Jimmy just nodded, "that's disgusting." Jimmy chuckled at her attitude.

"Why do you think he makes you and Lola jog everyday?" Juliet got an even more disgusting look on her face.

"What?" she shrieked, hopefully not waking up the whole boy's dormitory.

./…\.

Juliet was still flustered from the conversation her and Jimmy had earlier, but was slowly getting over it. The only problem was that today was P.E day and she really didn't want to go. As she walked off to Art, she swore she felt a pair of eyes staring at her. But, every time she looked; no one was there.

--

Juliet's mouth completely fell open as she saw the masterpiece that Petey had worked on. The portrait of her was absolutely amazing! She wished she looked this good in real life; while compared to her portrait of Petey… well, let's just say it wasn't exactly flawless.

"How can you sketch so well?" Juliet asked, staring down at her disaster.

"I also had more time that you." Petey said quietly as he watched the door nervously. She saw the way he was staring at the door and quirked a plucked eyebrow.

"Somethin' wrong sweetie pie?" she asked, patting his back. Petey only flushed and shook his head.

"No, everything is absolutely perfect."

--

She had a feeling that Petey was lying to her, but she let it slid. She didn't want to agitate him anymore than she usually does. She had been walking to P.E with the sway of Lola; surprisingly she didn't give Juliet dirty looks yet.

"So…" Lola started off with, "I heard 'bout it." Juliet looked down as they entered the basketball court.

"'Bout wha'?" she asked shyly.

"The favor." Juliet looked down in shock and also embarrassment.

"Oh." Lola slapped her back, making Juliet cough.

"Don't worry 'bout it… I've done it lots of time with a number of boys." Juliet rolled her eyes, oh how did she know that was coming?

Once Lola and Juliet reached the gym, they quickly changed into their uniforms and jumped into laps with the other girls and boys. Suddenly, a loud whistle came from the center of the gym. Mr. Burton stood there with a boy at his side; slick brown hair with matching brown eyes.

"As much as I hate to interrupt you…" Mr. Burton started, looking in Lola's and Juliet's direction, "but we have a transfer here today… everyone should know—." Mr. Burton was cut off by a slick voice.

"Gary Smith." Then, something hit Juliet; this was the boy that teased Petey and put Jimmy in danger… but he looked so innocent. Also, something caught her attention; there was a scar running down his forehead, threw his eyebrow, and close to his eye. It made him look…dangerous, in a way. The whistle blew again and we started running.

"In case your lil' boyfriend didn't worn ya' Gary is one bad cookie. Stay away from that ass-wipe, okay hun?" Lola almost sounded sincere. Juliet nodded her head.

"Petey told me 'bout him." Mr. Burton blew the whistle again, pointing towards the doors; evidentially they were running laps around the football field today.

--

Lola skipped out once they opened the doors and Juliet was stuck with seven boys and two girls; they were pretty small, so Juliet thought they were Elementary students.

"Hello there." She knew that voice; she turned and saw Jimmy standing there, rolling his bike next to him.

"Jimmy!" she shrieked as he dragged her behind the football field bleachers, "you scared me!" Jimmy chuckled and shut Juliet up with a fierce kiss on the lips. Once they kiss had gone on long enough, Jimmy pushed her against the stone walling of the bleachers and hoisted her up so her legs were wrapped around his waist. This soon turned out to be a full blow make-out session after two minutes. Juliet forgot all about P.E and the dangerous Gary because all she wanted was Jimmy. But, soon enough someone had to ruin that.

"Well, well, well; look what we have here." A snide voice said, coughing after also. Jimmy dropped his lips from Juliet's, but held the same position. Suddenly, Jimmy's eyes darkened.

"Gary."

"Well my friend!" Gary yelled to him, taking small steps forward. After Jimmy released Juliet, she had straightened out her hair and wiped off the glossy chap stick from Jimmy's lips. Two fingers lifted up her chin and she was centimeters away from Gary's face.

"Look what I've been missin' out on when I was in the loony bin… to bad Jimmy got to you before me… we could've had lots of fun." Gary said in a sickening sweet voice. Jimmy pushed Gary back on instinct.

"What's your problem Gary? Why'd ya' feel the need to come back to Bullworth?" Jimmy yelled, shoving him still. Gary didn't take it; he shoved back as well.

"Well my dear James, I felt lonely in there… and decided to play 'good-boy' to get out early… it seems I missed you and Petey. I haven't gotten a visit from him in a while." Jimmy's breath caught in his throat.

"Oh yes, Petey visited me 'bout every week or so." Gary said venomously, "jealous?" Jimmy laughed.

"Of what?"

"I stole your only friend, now my only other mission is to steal your girlfriend and make Academy a living hell for you, again." Juliet shrunk back and grabbed Jimmy's hand.

"I would never dream on it." Jimmy said back, almost as venomously. As they walked away, Gary was planning, again.

(A/N: Oooh, so Gary's back in business! D= But will he take his pills? To take or not to take; that is the question.)
