Author's Note: Some further clarification on certain things. Some people may wonder why I chose Geoff, DJ, Duncan, Ezekiel, Tyler, etc as bullies. Well, Duncan is a fairly obvious one, I'm fairly sure you know why from first season. But although actually not specifically said in the story, Geoff and Ezekiel have a little something going on as well as Geoff and Bridgette. I mean, Geoff is not a particularly faithful fellow in a relationship and he did attempt to force himself on Noah (although that was out of extreme dislike as well as punishment more than interest). Also because I notice some people like Geoff/Ezekiel which is awesome and why not? Ezekiel isn't all that bright and had been raised in seclusion by a traditional family so he also doesn't like Noah (never mind whatever flings he and Geoff have).
DJ is Geoff's best friend and because really, I can. I am thinking DJ like Azimio or whatever in Glee, the Gay hating football playing black guy. The very concept of a mean DJ is…interesting, but not as much as psycho Geoff. Tyler is best friends with Duncan and wants to support the team but is not overly thrilled at bullying people and tries to avoid doing that as much as he can and Duncan picks up slack (the slushie is another Glee reference!) Duncan/Tyler are kind of together (also not mentioned or relevant in this story but they are in this universe). Irony that almost all of them are gay and they bully them although Geoff considers himself very straight, because it's only gay to (like) feminine men or weaklings, very bizzare definition yes, but this is a different functioning mind.
And now I must explain why I made Geoff a would be serial killer (if he hadn't died) and psychopath. There are a few reasons for this. One is it is because of Geoff's unlikeliness as someone dangerous that does make him so dangerous. Geoff is obviously hiding something if he's wearing a cowboy hat and pink jacket, I mean really. And as much as I love Geoff, think of him Season 2 when he was insane and totally narcissist and loving to inflict pain on people, even his friends. He wanted to humiliate them and make them take pain. 'Truth or Hammer!' is the key. What type of nice person wishes pain on their "friends" and enjoys it immensely for their own benefit? Geoff was a sadist season 2 until the end. It is not a stretch to imagine him much of a bully then, especially of people he doesn't like.
As for the possessive controlling psychopath, we know he's a narcissist (because narcissism is part of the psychopathic definition simply because what else can they care about if they can't feel anything?). Coincidentally, I had seen a Master of Horror's episode (Pick Me Up) about a competition between serial killers, a serial killer hitchhiker and a serial killer truck-driver which was funny because the hitchhiker killed the people who picked him up and the truck-driver killed people he picked up so it was bound to become a competition between them once they became aware of each other's existence. While not the most realistic episode (although it was great for entertainment value) it was good until the ending (which I hated and am going to change because it didn't end like it should have). I'm going to write my own version of it later with hitchhiker Geoff and truck-driver Duncan (bow chicka bow-wow) and fix the ending (because everything up till the end had actually been good and fairly believeable).
I got side-tracked. The reason why I brought up that episode (I love that series, at least the good ones, although I am still of the opinion that Cigarette Burns was still one of the scariest things I have ever seen which is weird and totally freaked me out and I usually love watching horror) is the hitchhiker was like the real life Geoff and all I could think while watching it was 'omg, Geoff is a serial killer!' because he looked like Geoff (except for the pink jacket, however he did have a leather-ish jacket) and was some type of blonde, hot male I totally imagined love to party (and Geoff probably hitchhikes) and wore a cowboy hat! And he was dismembering some women while shirtless and had a nice body! So now I can't get Geoff as a serial killer out of my mind and totally believe it. I mean, psychopaths can and will trick you into liking them (most of them, some might not bother) and they're scary convincing…this is why no one believes Noah when he's all "he's evil!", because Geoff doesn't act that way around them, only Noah. It comes out with his friends and he makes some people nervous, but not enough to specifically make them think something is wrong. Not even Noah had been expecting that surprise! Geoff also kind of reminded me of an (obvious psychopath) in one of the weirdest books I have ever read and it was for school! The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison. Junior is whacked (well, almost everyone in that book was, I love the description of the main character's logic behind removing doll heads!) and had to control people. He made people play, and if they didn't play or didn't play well enough, he would hurt them! Not to mention he almost raped (or something, I have to recheck, he almost attacked her anyway) Pecola and threw the cat against a wall (and enjoyed the smoosh). Although, the whole book was pretty much all about psychopathic (and insane some of them) personalities and I wonder: what the heck am I reading? What does this give to literature (besides being abnormal for people who like psychology)? Anyhow, all I could think of was Geoff and combining the two together kind of and all I could say is…Geoff is so a serial killer. It's obvious. That is why he was the (almost) murderer, and although there was temptation to leave him alive running away, it made more sense to kill him and to prevent him from ever developing further.
