Summer vacation-WOOOOO! I just watched my best friend graduate today...won't be long until I'm following him. ;-; Anyway, thank you guys so much for reviewing and reading this story! It means a lot to me! ^-^ Also, this chapter has triggering themes. Read with caution!


Bullworth Academy wasn't the most welcoming school Jimmy's ever attended. New students are normally greeted by open arms from the staff. Not to mention that, usually, only a small chunk of the student body wants to kick the new kids' asses. Of course, this is the case at normal boarding schools. Bullworth didn't fit the criteria for normal.

Jimmy was first greeted by the headmaster's secretary, Ms. Danvers. He had hoped she'd be friendly to him after the day he'd had with his mother and her new fool. Unfortunately, she seemed too preoccupied with the soaking of her panties after the mere mention of the headmaster to be friendly. At least Jimmy gathered from her panty soaking that Headmaster Crabblesnitch's office was in the building at the dead center of campus.

What kind of last name was that, anyway? Crabblesnitch. Crabblesnitch. It sounded like something somebody says when something goes wrong. Hell, it could've been a good substitute for swearing! Burn a piece of toast and instead of shouting "oh shit", just shout "oh Crabblesnitch". Jimmy guaranteed that less students would get in trouble for swearing that way.

Upon meeting this Crabblesnitch fellow, Jimmy expected him to be brilliant—Ms. Danvers promised him a brilliant mind in the old bastard, after all. Alas, the old fart just bored Jimmy to tears with his holier-than-thou attitude. He made promises of "cleaning Jimmy's nose", which was his odd way of saying that he'd make a good boy out of the new student. He even went as far as to say he'd "fix" him. God, what an asshole.

After meeting the headmaster, Ms. Danvers sent him to the Boy's Dormitory to change into his school uniform. This wouldn't have been so trying if it weren't for the fact that a large group of bullies were waiting for him at the entrance. Despite the group, only one guy was ballsy enough to fight. And holy shit was he weak—The Man nearly hurt Jimmy's ears with how loud he was laughing! The redheaded bully threatened Jimmy with a beatdown and all it took to shut him down was a few punches and an Indian burn.

However, it seemed the bullies had thoroughly planned this attack out. They used the foot-in-the-door technique; start the new kid off with a weak offender just before throwing the goliath at him. This beast of a student proved Jimmy wrong when he had told his sixth grade Social Studies class that the Cro-Magnons had all fully evolved into the humans of today. Just one haymaker from this brute almost knocked Jimmy off his feet! Luckily, that altercation didn't last long before a nearby teacher broke it up and sent Jimmy to the dormitory.

That's when Jimmy first met Gary Smith, also known as the first person at Bullworth to actually try befriending him. Hopkins had been rude to the older boy upon meeting him, but he honestly didn't mean to be. He was just angry with the mongaloid who attacked him moments earlier. But first impressions go a long way, and Jimmy was sure this first meeting was enough to tell Gary that he was a piece of shit. Being mean to Gary Smith was Jimmy's first huge mistake at Bullworth Academy.

Though, Gary couldn't exactly give lectures on first impressions; he wasn't a particularly nice fellow either. In fact, one could call the boy a sociopath and not be lying. Even after meeting Peter Kowalski for the first time, Jimmy could tell that Gary was the type to take his friends for granted. This Pete kid didn't deserve a horrible friend like Gary, but yet he continued to hang around him like a lost puppy. Of course, Jimmy was equally horrible to the younger boy upon first meeting—that was huge mistake number two.

It amazed Jimmy when the two boys came back to his room later that night. The fifteen year-old thought he had turned them off with his bad attitude. He had kicked them out earlier in the day when they started bickering with each other. But sure enough, after spending all day in his room thinking about new beginnings, his alone time was once again interrupted.

Three knocks on Jimmy's door grabbed his attention before lazily getting up and answering it. Pete's stature showed behind the door, face smiling meekly. "He-Hey Jimmy." Jimmy crossed his arms, face remaining blank.

"What do you want? Haven't you and that other asshole annoyed me enough today?" Pete scratched the back of his head. "That's actually why I came by. To apologize for that…may I come in?" After thinking about it for a moment, Jimmy nodded and stepped aside so the younger boy could walk in.

Pete smiled again and slowly entered the room. Jimmy could tell this kid was an awfully modest fellow with the way he walked. His body language seemed to always scream, "I HAVE NO SELF-CONFIDENCE!" Jimmy could definitely relate to that; he grew up constantly being told he wasn't good enough.

Once Pete was inside, he turned around to face the new student. "So, yeah…I'm sorry about earlier. With Gary and stuff." The younger boy took a deep breath before continuing. "I-I probably didn't really leave a good impression on you with the way I snapped at him. And Gary, he's…something else. I-I'm sure he's sorry in his own way, though."

Jimmy couldn't help but chuckle at the last part of Pete's apology. Actually, he was chuckling at the whole thing. "You're worried about leaving a good first impression on me? Even after I was nasty to you for virtually no reason?" Pete's face turned a faint shade of pink in embarrassment.

"Y-You got attacked by Russell and his goons. I can understand someone being upset over something like that." Jimmy cocked an eyebrow. "Is that the giant retard's name? Russell?" For the first time upon meeting him, Pete started laughing. It was actually kind of a cute laugh because it sounded exactly like what it was; a shy kid trying to come out of his shell. "I don't think he'd like you calling him that, but yeah. That's him."

"Watch out, Jimmy."

Suddenly, two masculine arms wrapped themselves around Jimmy's waist. The arms first turned him and then sent him face first onto his mattress. Jimmy let out a surprised yelp as Pete simultaneously shouted at the perpetrator. "Gary?! What're you doing?!"

"Russell want hug! Russell sorry for beating up new kid! RUSSELLLLLLLL!"

Jimmy squirmed underneath Gary's grasp, trying hard to get away from him. "Get off me, Gary! What're you even doing in my room? I said Pete could come in—not you!" Gary's grasp tightened slightly. "It's not MY fault that you left your door wide open, dumbass. Open doors typically mean all are welcome, you know." At this, Gary ever so slightly bucked his hips against Jimmy's backside, being sure to press his groin against Jimmy's ass.

"Careful, Jimmy."

Heeding The Woman's second warning, Jimmy's squirming intensified, desperately trying to get the sociopath off of him. When Gary's grasp continued to tighten, Jimmy became practically frantic. "Get OFF ME, you jerk!" Suddenly, he felt something hardening against his backside.

"Oh no."

"Leave him alone, Gary! He's had a rough day!" At this moment, Gary started laughing while leaning in closer to Jimmy's right ear. He then whispered something silent enough for Pete to not hear, but loud enough for Jimmy to hear. "I'll make it even rougher…whether you like it or not."

Fear flushed over Jimmy Hopkins at that moment. Gary then let go of Jimmy and sat down next to him on the bed. Anxiety suddenly flaring up, Jimmy quickly retreated from the bed, standing next to Pete. Gary sighed whilst stepping off the bed.

"Whatever, you guys are so boring. I'm going to get a Beam Cola. You guys want one?" Pete nodded his head before looking at Jimmy, face as hard as stone despite his current emotions. Gary narrowed his eyes at the new kid. "C'mon, I'm sorry for being such a prick today. Please, allow me to make it up to you."

"Don't fucking do it, kid."

Gary's eyes softened at Jimmy's silence. "Dude, you know I'm joking with you. Right?"

"Tell him to leave, Jimmy!"

As much as the voices were telling Jimmy what to do, he wanted to see if Gary could really be trusted. He'd gotten along so well with Pete; why can't he be friends with Gary too? Jimmy sighed and then nodded. "Okay, I'll have one."

"You just made mistake number three, Jimmy."

The Man wasn't kidding. How did Jimmy know he was right? Jimmy had had a sudden wave of drowsiness overtake him after drinking his Beam Cola. He tried to get the boys to leave so he could hit the hay. Pete left, but Gary didn't. Before Jimmy knew it, he was waking up the next morning. Gary was gone.

So was Jimmy's clothes.
