Chapter 3
The Old High School Try: Part 2
2 September 2005
Bullworth Academy
Fully clean and dry, in clean boxers and a towel Luke Drake makes his way back to his dorm room hoping to god he didn't just fuck up his one day old friendship with his soul mate. When he got in his room Zach, was already dressed in his uniform. One glance between the two bros said it all: Everything was okay, they were still friends and just wanted to put the whole shower episode behind them. They bro hugged then Luke put on deodorant and body spray and got dressed in a clean school uniform.
"You ready to go, bro." Luke asked.
"Yup. Just another day at Bullshit Academy." answered Zach
"Yeah. Let's go" said Luke. It was clear they had put it behind them and things were back to normal. For now. Zach and Luke walked out into the hallway and into the lounge and were met by their friend Pete Kowalski.
"Hey, guys. Do you mind if I walk with you to the main building?" asked Pete shyly.
"Yeah, dude." said Zach "That's why we came to find you. Thought we'd make a regular thing of it." Luke nodded in agreement.
"Awesome. Yeah I'd love that" Pete beamed "Listen guys. I checked my schedule and I have Art, Geo and Shop in the morning and free period in the afternoon."
"Really?" said Luke "Lemme see your schedule for a second there." Pete handed it over. His schedule for today was identical to Zach and Luke's. Luke nodded the handed the schedule back. "Zach and I have the same schedule too. This is sweet. The three of us can hang all day. What do you guys say?" He looked at Zach and Pete.
"Hell, yeah." said Pete pumping his fist in the air.
"Count me in." said Zach "One thing, though Pete. I thought you had shop yesterday.?"
"Scheduling conflict" answered Pete simply. "The class was already at it's attendance limit. So, I got switched around to this class cycle. Went to Gym yesterday instead."
"Oh, yeah?" asked Luke "How did that go" Although Luke thought he knew the answer already.
"Got my ass handed to me by Norton during wrestling." answered Pete.
Nailed it. Luke thought.
"Norton? That brute from Johnny Vincent's crew?" said Zach remembering seeing Norton with the other Greasers in the caf yesterday.
"That's the one" said Pete "and of course Burton didn't bat an eye"
"Yeah, well Burton's a motherfucker." said Zach
"Yeah. Burton's a bitch." said Luke " I'm sure he'll get his one day"
"Yeah, maybe." said Pete not convinced. He looked down at his watch "Hey, guys we better go or we are going to be late."
"Then let's go" said Zach and Luke.
Several minutes later the three friends were in art class. Miss Phillips was pretty hot. Zach looked over at Luke but he didn't seem all that interested in her, like he said he would be. Weird. Zach thought. Just then he realized contrary to what he expected, his own penis was barely at half-mast. What gives Zach thought. Phillips was said to make every male student stand at attention. Man, that shower incident has my whole chemistry ass end backwards. Zach thought. Though he would later find out it was much more than that. The rest of the morning passed without incident. Geo was simple enough and Matthews was actually pretty dope. Neil was a bit curmudgeonly, but Zach, Pete and Luke all completed the task of building a BMX bike by themselves and as a reward they got to keep them. Neil said they could use the garages in the school parking lot to store them in. During lunch, they managed to choke down Edna's food, but just barely. They could have sworn they saw cat fur in the slop. Ugh. That didn't bode well. As Zach, Pete and Luke were walking out of the doors, they almost ran into Jimmy Hopkins and Dr. Crabblesnitch. They waited until they were down the steps and out of earshot before talking about it.
"What's Hopkins doing with Dr. Crabblebitch?" Zach asked.
"Sounds like he is getting a reprimand" supplied Pete
"For fucking what?" asked Luke
"Knowing Crabblesnitch? Just for having a record. He's a fucker that way." said Pete Just then Crabblesnitch left and a kid in a white polo, holding a slingshot came angrily up to Jimmy.
"Hey isn't that Davis White one of Russell Northrup's boys?" asked Luke
"Yeah that is" affirmed Pete "I wonder what he is going to do with that slingshot though?"
"I can give you a couple guesses, but you are only going to need one." said Zach. Without warning Davis shot Jimmy in the chest with the sling shot and booked it, hopping over the rail. Jimmy tore after him.
"Oh, shit you guys." exclaimed Zach. "We gotta go help him. C'mon" The three friends took off at a run following in Jimmy's wake. As they ran along, they saw Jimmy getting confronted by more of the Bullies, but by the time the boys got by Jimmy to help, he had already knocked the bullies out, and was running after Davis. By the time the boys caught up with Jimmy Hopkins, he was in the back of the auto yard, and Davis was on top of a slab of metal that was resting on a stack of metal barrels, Jimmy was throwing bricks and, trash can lids at him. The three boys followed suit, throwing things at Davis to knock him down. Davis couldn't take any more he fell off, taking the stack of barrels with him, he laid on the ground knocked out cold. Zach went over to Davis and stood over his body and looked down at him.
"YOU GOT KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT!" he screamed at Davis. He went to stand by the other boys"Sorry. Had to do that"
"Well." said Jimmy "Guess that's settled" He picked up Davis's slingshot"This will come in handy" He looked over at a table that was against one wall. The table had three slingshots on it, with more than enough supply of ammo for each and more ammo for Jimmy's slingshot. "Hey guys look. There are slingshots for the each of you here." Pete,Luke and Zach went over to the table and picked up their new slingshots and ammo.
"Kickin" said Zach and Luke together
"Awesome" exclaimed Pete.
"Yeah. That's awesome. You kids have some new toys to play with." said a sarcastic voice behind them. The four boys turned around, it was Gary Smith.
"Gary, what do you want" asked Jimmy.
"Well, I saw what you did to Russel's peon Davis there. Good work." he said glancing at the unconscious form of Davis White. "Now, I was talking with Petey earlier and telling him about my plan to take over this school. Which I would be more than happy to let you four in on. But enough about that, come with me I want to see if your slingshot skills are up to par." The four friends exchanged looks but coming to a silent agreement between them as if they were saying "What choice do we have?" so the four followed Gary. Gary took them to the school parking lot which was Bullies turf, they stopped a few feet from the old, battered up school bus that is always there. Gary told them to use the slingshot to hit the windows and they did, with Jimmy proving to be the best out of the group.
"Shit, Hopkins" said Gary "You were pretty good, you all were. But, I am more interested in seeing Hopkins skills develop, no offense" He said looking at the other three.
"You ready for the real test Jimmy?" said Gary
"I can take whatever you throw at me Smith" said Jimmy confidently
"We'll see" said Gary with a sly smile "Follow me, next stop Jock Central: the Athletic Fields." The five teenagers went to the football field which the football team the Bullworth Bullhorns were currently practicing on.
"You see that tree?" said Gary pointing
"Yeah, I see it" said Jimmy
"Climb up that tree and pick off those roid monkeys down there with the slingshot."
"Alright, seems simple enough"
"Alright, me and the boys will be in the stands watching. Good luck Jimmy. Let's go boys." said Gary. The four boys went to the bleachers. The four watched Jimmy taking down those Jocks like they were at a football game.
"Yeah! Get em' Jimmy!" exclaimed Pete
"Alright Hopkins! Said Zach
"Whoop Whoop!' yelled Luke
Gary said nothing.
Soon all the jocks were on the ground and Burton wasn't the wiser, although he was yelling his head off. Jimmy came down from the tree.
"Good job, Hopkins. Really good job." said Gary "Come with me, we've got more things to do" he said to the group of four. Randomly he turns to Pete and pushes him.
"Go on, Petey. Go cry to the teacher. Tell them I was nasty to you" said Gary
"Shut up, Gary. You're such a jerk man." said Pete
"Really, Petey. Am I? Ooh, You're so cutting" said Gary sarcastically "I'm really upset. Actually, I think I'm going to go cry. Then I'd be just like you." Gary's tone got darker during that last line. "Cry, little girl." Jimmy stepped forward having had enough of Gary's maniacal tirade. "Oh, look out here comes Jimmy."
"Just knock it off, Gary" said Jimmy "You're out o f line"
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize I was hanging out with some girls. Silly me." Gary said
"Shut up, man" said Jimmy "You're boring"
"Boring!?" exclaimed Gary "I'm boring? You're none too interesting yourself friend" Gary puts up his hands, takes a deep breath and steps back seeming to calm down. "Look" he said apologetically"I'm sorry, all of you. I apologize, okay? I just get a little...overexcited. Forgive me."
"Forget it, man" said Jimmy "We're cool."
"Anyway"said Gary "I've got an idea for some fun. Let's go torment someone really helpless and unfortunate. That homeless guy behind the school. C'mon." The four boys exchanged nervous glances but they followed Gary nonetheless. When they got to the closed off area behind the bus the homeless guy obviously drunk and screamed at them Zach, Gary, Luke and Pete got scared and booked it. Completely cut the fuck out. But, Jimmy stayed. Later Jimmy found Zach, Luke and Pete by the garages. Gary was nowhere to be found.
"Hey, what the fuck where'd you pussies go!?"
"Hey, that hobo was not messing around, dude. What happened?" asked Zach
"Not bad. He had me find a radio transistor for him and in return he gave me combat training"
"Kickin" said Luke "Maybe, we will have to roll with you next time."
"Yeah man" said Jimmy "For sure"
The four friends then went to the library where they helped nerd clique member Algernon "Algie" Papadopoulos by escorting him to his locker and back and protecting him from Russell's peons. Then they protected nerd leader Earnest Jones during his speech at the class presidential campaign debate. Jocks were after him of course. Several weeks passed since that crazy day. Zach, Luke and Pete went to classes and hung out everyday and became closer as friends. Luke was still crazy for Zach and had fallen for him hard, but was careful not to show it. Zach's feelings for Luke continued to grow, little by little day by day. So much so that Zach now had taken to sneaking peeks at Luke in the shower little did he know that Luke was doing the same thing. Pete Kowalski pretty much stuck to the sidelines, but he knew Jimmy was rising in popularity and the upper echelon of the social system was not going to be cool with it. Pete knew shit was about to go down. Jimmy Hopkins was helping out different students around campus: He stole back Beatrice Trudeau's lab notes from Mandy Wiles, she re payed him with a make out session. He helped Bucky Pasteur a member of the Nerd clique escape the Russel Northrup Gang, for which Bucky gave Jimmy a skateboard. Fast forward to the present it is October 31st: Halloween! And Jimmy Hopkins and Co. along with Gary Smith got ready to have a night on the campus full of pranks and debauchery. Zach was dressed up as 20's LC mobster Charles "Lucky" Luciano, Luke went as a sexy (or Zach thought he was sexy)pirate. Pete was dressed up as a pink bunny rabbit and Gary was dressed up as a Nazi SS officer (the fuck?). They all met in the lounge (or common I guess is the correct word) when Zach saw Gary he said:
"Yo! Heinrich Himmler what's up man?"
"What can I say. This costume fits my personality" said Gary.
"Yeah, okay Reinhard Heydrich" said Luke.
"All, right guys let's go" said Jimmy.
So the group went out and did a variety of pranks on the student body doing any where from slapping a "kick me" sign an unsuspecting greaser to lighting a Volcano 4000 firework next to a group of kids. Then they did "The Big Prank" well Pete didn't he got grossed out and fucking booked it. But the rest of the group did. The Big Prank involved feeding rancid meet (courtesy of Edna) to Prep member Chad Morris's dog Chester and putting it in a bag and taking said bag into the school and lighting it on fire in front of the teachers lounge and pulling the fire alarm. And when an unsuspecting teacher (Burton) went to stomp it out, they would find themselves with a shoe full of shit. Just like that Halloween 2005 was over. Zach and Luke bid goodnight to their friends, went to their dorm, stripped down to their boxers and got ready for bed.
"Yo, today was fun man" said Luke
"Yeah it was" replied Zach
"Alright, goodnight bro." said Luke Love you. Luke thought.
"Buenos Noches" said Zach
The following day was Saturday so no classes. Zach, Luke and Pete were hanging out in the parking lot when they saw Jimmy following Gary into the basement and the friends thought that was fucking odd.
"Where the hell is Hopkins going with Smith."
"I don't know, but if it involves the basement it can only mean one thing: The Hole." said Pete
"Well, let's follow them. Said Luke
"Good idea" said Zach "Let's go"
So the three friends went into the basement. Being sure to keep close enough behind Jimmy and Gary so the three could hear them, but far enough that they wouldn't be seen. They kept going along going though doors that looked like were locked only recently. They correctly assumed that Gary and Jimmy unlocked them. They eventually got to a small room that had a door on the opposing wall.
"I betcha that goes to one of the school hallways" said Luke
"Yeah. It does" said Pete
"So, Pete. What exactly is The Hole?" asked Zach
"You'll see" Pete answered "But if it involves Jimmy and Gary it can't be good." They went along and entered another room with a furnace that was off and bits off smashed up jack-o-laterns everywhere.
"Now we know where the extra Halloween decorations went" said Zach.
"Yeah. Jimmy did this no doubt" answered Pete.
"No doubt" replied Zach and Luke in unison.
"Wait! What's that? Listen." said Pete and they did. The teens could hear Gary in the middle of another one of his tirades then yelling and the unmistakable roaring of Russell Northrup.
"Oh no. Let's go guys. We are almost at the hole!" said Pete. When they got to The Hole they saw Jimmy fighting Russell and Gary smiling madly.
"WHAT THE FUCK!" the three friends said.
"Oh, shit" said Pete "It's Gary he turned on us"
When Jimmy finally beat Russell everybody cheered save for Gary.
"What gives Gary." asked Jimmy both sounding bewildered and royally pissed off "I thought we were friends?"
"Me? Friends with you? Not when we both want to take over this school. There is only going to be one of us and it's going to be me. I'm gunning for you now, Hopkins. See you around loser boy."
When Gary left, Jimmy made peace Russell insuring the bullies would be on Jimmy and the boys' side. When everybody got outside Pete, Luke, Zach and Jimmy huddled together in the lot.
"Man" said Zach "Motherfucker got us! I bet he's going to collect his thirty pieces of silver right now."
"Yeah. I'll say" said Pete
"Why, though?" asked Luke "What's his end game"
"Isn't it obvious?" answered Jimmy "Gary wants to take over the school. He sees me as his biggest threat and he'll be coming for me and will take anybody that stands in his way."
"Well, no matter" said Zach " We will be standing right there with you when he does because that's what friends do." Luke and Pete nodded.
"Thanks guys." said Jimmy "Hey, look." The gate is open"
"Finally!" they all said
"Was wondering when they were going to let us out" said Zach
"Hey you guys want to go into town? I know a place I think you guys will like." said Pete
"Nah man. It's getting dark and I don't know about you but after that FUBAR fuckfest that today turned into, I'm beat, man."said Zach
"Yeah" agreed Luke "Today was a shit-show for sure"
"Maybe tomorrow?" asked Zach. Pete nodded
"It's settled then." said Luke "See you guys"
"Yeah. See ya." said Jimmy
"Bye" said Pete. With that Zach and Luke went to the boys dorm. They went up the steps and Luke went to open the door for them. As he turned he was enveloped in the bight glow of the new bulb in the light above the door. When Zach saw Luke his breath caught and his heart soared. Because seeing Luke like that made Zach realize something that he was only guessing at for weeks. He was bisexual and he, Zach Maniscalco was in love and falling hard for Lucian Drake.
This chapter was a bitch to write because it's the longest one I've ever written. But I had fun writing it and I hope you will really enjoy reading it. More chapters soon. Till next time guys. All the best- Fiction Affliction.
