I blinked but I just couldn't believe my eyes. Standing before me was a person I thought I would never see again, the one and only Ricky Pucino. "R-Ricky?" I managed to choke out. He smiled tucking a cigarette behind his right ear. "Nika!" he smiled pulling me into a bear hug. "What happened you disappeared!?" I smiled, "I moved back to Russia, I'm sorry I didn't say bye, my Babushka was very sick." I told him. He had changed so much! He used to be short and chubby and now he's taller than me and muscular! I hugged him back. I missed him so much! The school bell rang announcing the start of the afternoon class, "What class do you have now?" I asked
"Shop." he replied. I smiled widely "Me too!"
We began walking towards class talking about our childhood memories, like the time we hid earthworms in Johnny's shoes or when we made a huge mudslide in a nearby hill. "How's Johnny doing?" I asked casually, "eh he could be doing better, I guess... He's head over heels for his girlfriend Lola, and let's say that she's not the best person out there..." I nodded, "What do you mean, not the best person?" he looked down, "She is the biggest whore in school, even though she's dating Johnny, she is also seeing Gord, Ted, Chad and Jimmy!" I gasped, "Hey Greaseball!" called a loud, obnoxious voice. "Mind tellin' me where Johnny is?" I cocked an eyebrow, who is this twerp, some annoying Freshie? The voice belonged to a short kid with a buzz cut and superior expression.
"Who's your girlfriend?" he asked Ricky, "She's not my girlfriend, and this is Veronika Dragonova, she started today." The kid looked in my direction, "Hey sweet cheeks…" a shiver went down my spine, that kid is repulsive! He needs an attitude check urgently! "Keep dreaming, kid! See you later Rick!" I said smiling at Ricky then giving this Jimmy boy the coldest look I could manage at the moment. I pulled my phone to check the time. 9:40 read the clock. Great! I was late for my first class! "Bullworth prefect! Stop immediately!" I froze, Fuck! Way to go Nika! Getting busted in your first day! I mentally slapped myself and turned around to face the prefect, "I apologize, sir. It's my first day and I can't find my first class." I said sweetly, going back to my manipulative ways. The Prefect's eyes narrowed behind his glasses, "I'll escort you to your first class, is it Chemistry?" he questioned, "No," I pulled my crumpled schedule from my pocket, "it's…Shop!" I told him. He nodded and began walking in a fast pace.
"Sorry to interrupt Neil, but this is the new student she was lost." I looked at the teacher, "What's your name kid?" he asked. "Veronika…" he nodded, "Take that empty seat next to Bif." I made my way to the back of the class. "Listen up guys! This is way more complicated than a government plot!" I gave Neil a confused look as I sat down. This place just keeps getting odder and odder… I sighed, earning the attention of the guy sitting next to me. He was tall with auburn hair, and had a very muscular build, he was wearing a different uniform than the other students, it was blue…it seemed, fancier than the rest. "Welcome to Bullworth," he began saying with a faux-English accent, "Here's your invitation to the Harrington Halloween Party." He exhaled lightly, "I can't believe father is making me take this class along with these paupers!" I was confused to say the least.
Class went by fast; so far Neil was my favourite teacher. He always had something funny to say or something about how the government is secretly hiding Aliens in Area 52. "Hey Nika!" I turned around to see Petey, "Hey Pete!" he smiled awkwardly, "Gary is waiting for you he needs your help with something…" I grinned, "Oh boy! It's my first day and people are already asking me to run errands!" I replied with fake excitement. "Follow me!" he began jogging towards the school gates; I followed him closely. We finally arrived to the boy's dorm, a place that I was already familiar with. Petey held the door open for me and I thanked him, I immediately saw Gary and smiled. "Femme-boy! I see you brought Nikks as I requested!" said Gary standing up and walking in our direction, I cocked my right eyebrow, "Nikks?" I questioned he smirked, "Yes, Nikks." I smiled. "So, you're all probably wondering why I gathered all of you here," he began looking at Petey and I, then began walking around us. "Hey Gary this better be important! I got stuff to do!" the repulsive kid from earlier said in an annoyed tone. I rolled my eyes, "Ah Jimmy! Just the person I wanted to see! I got a job for you to prove yourself better than those idiotic bullies!" Gary stated in an enthusiastic manner, "Whatever Gary!" this so-called Jimmy retorted. "Its simple! Just go by the abandoned Motel close to New Coventry and kick their asses! Now go!" Gary ordered. "Femme-boy! I need you to run over to the library and ask the nerds if they made those stink bombs I asked." Petey looked at his feet then nodded heading towards the door. "What about me?" I asked. "You," he began. "You are going to be my right hand." Confused I asked, "but what is the big plan?" he chuckled, "so far all I'm going to tell you is that we're taking over the school. The rest I'll tell you in due time. We have to meet every day and plot," he began walking in circles and muttering things under his breath.
"I guess I can sneak out after curfew, where can we meet?" I asked. "Perfect! We can meet in my room for privacy issues. I don't trust anyone here. Our first meeting is tonight, 11:30pm sharp!" he continued his stroll around the living room. "Hey, um, Gary? I gotta… go.. to, um, class. I'll see you tonight." He suddenly stopped and turned to look at me, "Ok, ok… see ya!" he then looked away lost in deep thoughts.
~11:20pm~
I opened the door of my room and tiptoed to the hallway, I had to stay quiet I didn't want to wake anyone. I crossed the hallway and opened the door that lead to the attic. I silently closed the door. I paced up the stairs and across the attic with the stealth of a panther stalking its prey. I opened the window and checked my phone 11:25, I'm not late, grabbing the stair-like thing full of vines and climbed down. "Fuck!" I murmured as I felt a sharp sting on my palm. I finally reached the ground and looked at my palm, it was bleeding. I sloppily wiped my hand on my jeans and pulled my hoodie on and jogged towards the dorm across from where I was currently standing. I looked to the right and to the left. I saw a light flash in the distance so I sprinted until I reached the door. I pulled on the greasy handle and slid through the opening, trying to make as little noise as possible.
I heard snoring, lots of it. I felt something brush against my leg, a chill went up my spine and I tried my best not to scream. I walked to the living room to check if Gary was there. There was no one there so I went back to the main hallway looked to the right and left, on the end of the left corridor I saw a light, and began walking towards it. Suddenly I felt something cover my mouth. I panicked and turned around, "Wrong way, Nikks" I relaxed when I heard Gary's voice and felt his breath against my ear. He took me to his room on the opposite side of where I was going.
He let me go and locked the door, then moving towards his window and closing the shades, "Can't be too careful…" he muttered. "So…what's the plan?" I questioned. He gave me a satisfied look, "Sit. I'll explain everything," he motioned to his bed. I sat down and looked at him. "First of all, you probably already noticed I wan- no, I'm GOING to take over this school correct?" I nodded, "Second, I need allies, trustworthy people like you!" I once again nodded, "But what about Petey, and that ape Jimmy?" he laughed, "I see you don't like James. Don't fret, we'll take care of him. He's gonna get what's coming to him. And Petey, well let's just say that our dear FemmeBoy is gonna side with Jimmy so he's basically out of the game." He sat down next to me, "We need to somehow gain respect from all the cliques, Nerds, Jocks, Greasers, Preps and even the Townies! Then we make them all go against Jimmy so we can take over the school!" I sighed, "Have you thought about how we are going to make that happen?" To be honest, I really liked the idea of being in charge. Sure, I wasn't gonna be the top dog but I would be second in command!
Gary smirked, "That my dear Nikks, is what we shall discuss! Meet me here everyday after curfew and we'll see how much progress we are doing and how close we are to finally get rid of Hopkins!" he chuckled darkly, "I won't keep you up for much longer since it's the first day, but tomorrow be prepared!" I nodded, "I'm gonna go then, see ya tomorrow!" I said, "See ya!" he replied before kicking off his shoes.
This will be a very interesting school year.
