Ch.2- Doomed Lovers

Disclaimer: As like before. I don't own anything except this fan fiction. All the credit goes to Rockstar games for making such an awesome sandbox game.

A/N: Most of my reviewers asked for some Jimmy/Beatrice. Well…here it is. So ENJOY!

When he first arrived here at Bullworth, my mind processed that everything about him was bad but for some reason those certain quirks about him drew me to him. He may be a troublemaker but he was sweet enough to retrieve my lab notes from Mandy and honesty, the stink bomb he stored in Mandy's locker was a brilliant way to get her back for all the torment she brought me…IT'S NOT MY FAULT THAT I HAVE COLD SORES!!

Sorry for that random outburst.

He might sound rude on some cases but he was nice enough to retrieve my diary from the clutches of Mr. Hattrick and not only for the benefit of his reputation but to stop the bullying.

Before Jimmy came the bullies and anyone else who thought they were better than us would just walk all over and degrade us. Jimmy was a bully himself but he actually bullied the bullies who picked on kids smaller than them.

With all the cliques under Jimmy's control, bully activity has greatly decreased and I have a 40.5 increase in study.

We are destined to be "doomed lovers"; he's the cool new kid, while I'm the spotty outcast who gets harassed on the daily bases by Mandy and Pinky. He cares more about his reputation than us- even though it doesn't exist.

I admire him from afar but he hardly notices me unless I am in distress. He kisses me but I know he's just doing it out of pure sympathy. I probably won't be able to pair his electrons in real life but I can sure daydream about it when I get a break from my studies.

I may have gotten mad at him and complained when the rats were loose in the library but I had so much stress with the sudden rise in bully activity and medical exams and I certainly don't want to end up a librarian because I earned my Masters degree from some liberal arts college!

Jimmy is such a great lab partner, especially when he offers to enlighten my thoughts on human sexuality. I wouldn't have noticed that a boy like him would even take an interest in chemical- or any science-for that matter. In biology, we would make for an intriguing partnership.

When I heard that he was dating Mandy, my heart just sank and I scolded myself to ever belief that I would ever win Jimmy's real affection and I felt 10 times worse when I saw him fooling around with that Zoe character from town.

I told all of these feelings to Bucky and he walked away looking his worse than I ever seen him before. He looked a little upset and I still wondered what was on his mind but I could find out later, in the mean time back to Jimmy.

I often think about creating a concoction that would make Jimmy feel for me the way I feel for him but I would rather he'd fall for me on his own volition.

We have a unique type of love for each other. Our love is like 'a potion in disguise'- we hide our affection for each other in public and act as friends but when in a private spot such as the side of the girls' dorm we let those rushing emotions out freely.

I have reason to believe that Jimmy does not show his feelings in public because with his popularity as the 'King of the School' he is not able to keep his personal relationships from the public and he cares to much about my privacy to expose me to that much unwanted attention.

Often I would drift off in the middle of studying or during class just thinking about that special someone to call my soul mate and grow old with and now that Jimmy has come into my life I know I'm in love and that he is meant to be my better half.

I just enjoy staring at the back of his head in art class that I actually found myself painting the image on my canvas and before I know it; Mandy was just hovering over my shoulder and saw the portrait and tortured me relentlessly about how pathetic and creepy I was for drawing the back of someone's head instead of their face.

I never heard the end of it for at least the next 2 weeks and every time I crossed paths with Jimmy he made sure to keep an eye on me and keep a safe distance away from me.

And 2 days later I saw him and Mandy holding hands and that made me so depressed and angry that I just wanted to take a pouch of itching powder and throw it on her during her STUPID cheerleading practice and have her embarrass herself in front of the entire squad to get her back for all the torment and cruel gestures that she has been dishing out for the last 4 years.

But the thought quickly went away as soon as it came because I knew that I wouldn't be able to get away with it because of my soft nature. I felt so much more in despair than I would if I was never able to get my coveted degree in medicine.

I spoke with Bucky about it and like a good friend, he actually listened much better than anyone else at my desperate plead for a sympathetic soul to confide in during these times. He was like a brother to me and he would always give me good advice and now he was telling me to keep going and if I really believed that Jimmy was the one then I should wait until he realizes it himself.

After the graduation ceremony Jimmy told me to meet him on the side of the girls' dorm and I was so excited that my cold sores began to flare up again but this time it wasn't as bad.

He came toward me and before I could greet him he embraces me and sighs, " Thanks for being such a good friend for the past 4 years, Beatrice."

I couldn't find my words as I was practically melted by now and he slowly let me out of his embrace and walked away with a wave towards the boys' dorm.

After 20 minutes, Bucky found me and he asked me if I was alright. I calmly replied with a nod and we walked away silently towards the library and all I was thinking about along the way is that I actually have a fighting chance to make Jimmy see me as more than a friend.

Things really seemed to be looking up for me now and I have Jimmy Hopkins to thank for that.
