Hello Bro-skis! Sorry for the majorly late update! I can't promise you guys regular updates of these anyway, since I write in my free time. Anyway, please don't hate me, because I've been lying from the past few chapters. If you still love me, please R&R!
"I want to know Gary Smith."
Her words were firm enough for Jimmy to understand what name she just threw out of her mouth. He has never heard of his name again when it was last autumn, until today. Surprising how that traitor slipped off his mind, but then again, was he ever a traitor in the first place? He didn't seemed to be eager with friends with him since the beginning. The thoughts of him coming up, diluting his mindset, it really pissed Jimmy off. Instead, he simply sneered speaking his name to the girl in front of him.
"Gary? What do you want with that bastard?"
"I…" she paused, thinking of what to say next, "Information in exchange in information. Other than Johnny Vincent, you were the last person to have ever had a major conversation with him."
"He's been talking to Johnny? Ah shit. He's going to get Johnny to go against me huh? Just great."
His arms and shoulders collapsed, tired from dealing with Johnny's buttload of crap to scout out that his girlfriend was cheating on him with Gord. It wasn't surprising that Lola was having an affair with a preppie. Afterall, Lola was a girl with many desires and she uses her body to get what she wants. What surprised him though, was that Gord was dating Lola. He thought he was gay, when Jimmy last kissed him for some extra energy boost.
"Yes, Gary has been talking with him," the young woman in front of me sighed, "I sense that he might possibly be yelling names of random people who are hitting on Lola. Be careful. You're better off not trying to attract her attention anytime soon. Everyone knows Johnny is hopelessly in love with that whore. I need more info on Gary himself though."
"Why pay attention to him? He's not even worth my time, much less yours."
"I can't go to Johnny," she stated, matter of fact.
Jimmy nodded his head in reply, "Right, because of his boys…"
Of course, a girl like her will get pummeled, by the greasers. Better yet, she will probably be hit on the first second she steps into their territory. She looks so pale to him that she looks like she's going to break any moment now, but that prideful voice of hers told him otherwise. She said solemnly, almost to herself.
"No, it's because he doesn't really pay attention to him. No one in the greasers thinks that Gary is skipping around them in circles, manipulating them without anyone knowing."
"You're giving him more credit than he deserves."
"You didn't let me finish," she gave him a playful smirk as she brought her hand to her hips, "Gary is manipulating buttwipe, yes. But they pay him no mind him. No, not at all. He just a jackass whom everyone ignores. Even when he's ruing your life, he'll be more or less shrugged off like the little fuck he is."
Jimmy recalled the time when he talked to Bucky the other day. He doesn't know why, but he was just bored at the time since he finished his chemistry class earlier than usual and decided to go to the cafeteria, and voila. There he was. But what that little nerd said made him really ticked off to the point where he ended up throwing an apple at him and starting a food fight.
I saw Gary and Derby talking the other day, and when I walked past them they told me to shut up!
"You're concern of him is just about right. What everyone is saying about me is that I'm friends with that sociopath. Well. We were. Or maybe he never even considered the fact that we may have been before he attempted to betray me last November," Jimmy laughed bitterly to himself.
"Ah, The Hole Incident right? People spoke to me about your amazing feat there," Her voice was in soft whispers, her lips pressed together in an almost motherly way.
He chuckled, "How do I begin to describe Gary Smith…?"
"For starters, what do you think of him?"
"He's fucking crazy."
"Wonderful. Anything else?"
"Well… Gary Smith is a psychopath that I would never let my children go near. He's an asscrack who deserves a beating from his father, but then people say he has yet to get out of prison. He's a Nazi sympathizer and thinks everyone is inferior to him. Not only that, he's a friendless prick who's too paranoid to even keep some. To sum it up, he's a sadistic bastard who needs a bitch slap."
"…"
She was silent. Not a word spoken for a minute as her mouth tried to search for an answer, only to mumble a short "what?" in the process. Her hand pressed against her lips instead of her chin this time, dripping with cold sweat.
"Hey… uh…" Jimmy still did not know her name, so he simply touched her shoulder in comfort, "Hey, uh...bro ? Are you okay?"
It was such a strange sight, as to see a girl who seemed to grabbed such a strong impression on him to see her… how does he explain it… scared? Fearful? No, she was regretful, but it was not directed towards him. Yes, it wouldn't make sense for the girl he just met to just regret meeting him after such a deep conversation. It'd had to be someone else, if not him.
Jimmy squinted his eyes and studied the direction her eyes were staring at. Her pupils, an almost haunting metallic color looked far above him, reflecting a similar silhouette above the mahogany stairs.
Jimmy finally understands why the girl seemed so… fallen.
The way he wore his long black slacks and his infamous teal sweater vest. Well of course, it made sense.
When you speak of the devil, you're only summoning him.
Yeah, again. I was lying. Gary, you see, does not appear in chapter five. He appears in chapter three!
