A/N: It wouldn't be a Bully story or a GTA story without some vandalism going on. The person responsible for the crimes in the upcoming chapters won't be revealed just yet.

Gary's perspective…

I feel Carly lightly grip my right hand with her left one and she mouths "It's going to be okay." before we ended up walking to our desks and sitting down, Mandy quickly looking away from us and whispering to Zoe… who briefly nodded.

"Are we all just gonna pretend he's not back here to cause more hell?!"

I immediately turned around and just as I suspected, that was Lola who had spoken up, her voice shrill and indicating that she was furious at me being back here… and I know she's not alone in feeling like that.

"Miss Lombardi, I understand that you're upset but you have to stay calm." Mr. Galloway explained but that infuriated Lola to the point where she stood up and turned her rage towards Carly.

"You bitch, you really think you're safe around him?!" Lola screeched before Carly stood up… and moved her left arm up to reveal a scar that I knew was recent but I didn't know what caused it.

"This was caused by mom who threw a glass at my dad but it hit me by accident but I don't feel safe around her. It hurts to feel unsafe in the home I grew up in." Carly explained as I stood up and she lowered her arm before we sat down… and Lola grabbed her things and left the classroom, everyone else immediately applauding Carly for being brave enough to start opening up about her past.

I immediately pulled Carly closer to me and we hugged for a few seconds before Mr. Galloway started explaining what was set up for class today.

"That took a lot of courage, Carly." I whispered.

"Feels good to let it out." Carly responded quietly as I rested my right hand on her left one and she lightly gripped it.

She's taking slow steps to letting go of the pain she went through.

Carly's perspective…

After class ended and we had left after turning our worksheets in, Gary and I walked down the hallway and outside as we had Gym class next… and I felt a hand on my left shoulder and turned to see Zoe.

"That was brave of you to admit that you went through hell, Carly." Zoe replied before we hugged for a bit and she left… and Gary guided me to the building before we walked into it and into separate locker rooms.

I set my backpack on a bench and changed out of the uniform and into an oversized white tank top, black shorts and black cross trainer shoes before tying them… and stretched a bit before hearing someone's footsteps and the person talking to someone else.

"I heard about the new girl and what she said in Galloway's class. Do you believe anything that she said earlier?"

"Something about her screams 'Liar'. I bet she did something horrible to get sent here."

I rolled my eyes… of course Christy and Angie would start running their mouths. They need to find something else to talk about.

I take a deep breath and softly sang the lyrics of Meat Loaf's Rock And Roll Dreams Come Through before I saw Pinky and we smiled at each other before she saw the bruises on my shoulders and was taken aback.

"Derby caused those?! I'm gonna rip his head off!" Pinky responded before I carefully stopped her.

"Derby backed off when Russell got in his face about what had happened. Russell scared him off." I explained, which seemed to calm Pinky down… for now at least.

We walked out of the locker room and upstairs into the gym itself… and immediately saw a woman in her mid 30s as the coach, which made me feel better about taking this class as I remembered the things I had heard about the former coach.

"Alright, students, I'm Mrs Evans. I used to live in Bullworth Vale but had moved to Los Santos to start college." She explained… and I immediately remembered her voice.

Wait a minute, there's no way that can be Dianne! Last time I saw her, Mom had accused her of stealing the jewelry and silverware and the accusations got her fired from the nanny agency she was working at during her college years!

When we were all put on separate teams for a game of dodgeball, Dianne looked at me… and then looked away and blew her whistle for us to start the game.

I dodged as Tad threw the ball at me and it hit the floor… and the whistle was blown and he was told to sit down.

"You bitch!" Tad yelled before he tried to run towards me, Bif and Gord restraining him.

"Chill out!" Gord shouted at him, Tad shoving him and Gord shoving him back.

"Derby's parents should've just let her go into the system!" Tad retorted before he stormed off and Bif and Gord followed after him… and I felt a hand on my right shoulder and turned around to see Pinky before we hugged.

"Tad is an ass, he'll get what's coming to him." Pinky responded quietly before we let go.

After getting into the locker room showers, I clipped my hair up out of the way and undress myself before facing the detachable shower head away from me and turn the water on before cleaning myself off.

Damn right Tad is an ass… but with the vow renewal coming up soon, I have a feeling Derby's aunt and uncle are gonna end up throwing unruly guests out.

Third person perspective…

Back in her uniform after drying off and reapplying deodorant, Carly made sure her makeup was still on her face before letting her hair down and folding her gym clothes before putting them in a mesh bag for the laundry later.

She put them and her sneakers in the dorm room and grabbed her backpack before she met up with Gary in the cafeteria… and they sat down after getting pizza and soda, Carly wiping her lip gloss off of her mouth.

"There's a lot of tension with the Preppies, Tad and Gord were yelling at each other just before you got here." Gary whispered, Carly briefly closing her eyes.

"Tad didn't take losing a game of dodgeball too well earlier, Bif and Gord had to restrain him when he tried to attack me." Carly explained quietly, startling Gary.

"Damn, he needs to calm down! This is gonna get worse, Tad doesn't do anything without Derby telling him to and you and Tad were getting along before today. I think Derby got to him." Gary replied before they saw Jimmy walk over and sit down.

"Hey, you two." Jimmy responded before he turned to Carly and lowered his voice. "Derby flipped out when he heard that Bif and Gord stopped Tad from getting physically violent." He whispered and Gary lightly rubbed Carly's back when she closed her eyes for a few seconds.

In the hallway, a person in head to toe black was pulling leather gloves on and grabbed a marker before turning towards the lockers and leaving as soon as they were done.

'Low Class Bitch!' and 'Street Trash!' were left behind on the locker door and pictures cut in half were taped to the locker itself… and Carly and Gary dropped their backpacks in shock once they had walked into the hallway and had seen it.
