Revenge, oh sweet revenge. They say it is a dish best served cold. But for Algie, it was a dish best served hot. He had just escaped from an ambush by the preppies, and was pelted with eggs. Now he was looking for some other clothes that were mildly clean. What Algie couldn't understand was why, why would the preppies ambush him like that. There could only be one conclusion: The preppies viewed Algie as a threat, and tried to get him to back off. But it didn't get Algie to back off, now he wanted to go forward with his plans.
They asked for this fight, so there's no way I'm going to disappoint them thought Algie. He had finally found some clothes that were at least kind of clean. After he put them on, he thought about how to exact his revenge. If he wanted to get back at the preppies, he needed to strike quickly. Maybe I could spray a tag at their clubhouse, no they would expect that. Maybe I could rig their Harrington House with stink bombs, no that's too small Algie thought. Then he had an idea. He smiled deviously at his fiendish plan, believing it to be perfect.
I know, I'll sneak in their boxing gym during class, go to their trophies and leave a few tags on them. That's it, it's brilliant! Algie knew the idea would work, most of the preppies would be at class, and those who weren't would be at Harrington House. The problem was that Algie would have to skip class, which to Algie was one of the worst things he could do. He then argued to himself in his dorm room.
"I can't skip class; I'll miss on a chance of learning. But I must get my revenge. But my education's at stake. But the preppies deserve their revenge, and it's just Math, one day of skipping won't affect my high mark that bad. Okay I'll do it, but I'll need help. And I know just where to get it." With that, Algie walked out of the boy's dorm to his new destination.
Now most people would believe he would go to the bullies for help, seeing as he just got their respect. But Algie was going to the library instead. He would recruit one nerd who he was sure would help him. Then again, he could be wrong.
"Absolutely not!" Exclaimed an unhappy Melvin. Melvin had no plan to skip class just to play a prank on the preppies. He can't skip class, it was against his beliefs. In fact he was even more surprised that Algie would want to skip class at all.
"Come on, Melvin! We got to get back at those preppies!" Algie pleaded. Algie expected Melvin to help him, seeing as it was because of Algie that the bullies were not torturing the nerds. Melvin shook his head.
"Algie, have you forgotten our code? Number 1: No skipping class under any circumstances!" Algie cringed, he forgotten about the code. It didn't help that the Jocks stole most of the pages of his copy of the code book and used them as toilet paper. The books had all the rules that the nerds would follow by, and every nerd had a copy, Bucky even had his pages laminated for some odd reason.
"Look Algie, I won't skip class, but I won't tell anyone you skipped."
"That makes it a little better, thanks. " Algie started walking toward the front of the school, taking care to dodge any prefects that would have seen him along the way. Even when he tried to be, Algie wasn't so stealthy, and a prefect saw him fail to climb over part of a destroyed fence.
"Algernon! Stay there, right now!" Algie go onto his feet and gulped. I'm in for it now! Algie started running as fast as he could. The prefect Seth ran toward him at a much higher speed. It would take him mere seconds to catch Algie.
He almost did, as Algie ran out of breath. Seth was about to grab him, but he ducked out of the way and kicked Seth in the shin. Seth stopped to cringe in pain, and Algie took this chance to continue running. It wouldn't matter what Algie would throw at Seth, he would be caught eventually. So it was time for Algie to employ a different tactic.
Algie found a garbage can at a wall and dove headfirst into it. His face immediately met with an old pudding cup, causing it to implode right in Algie's face. He struggled to fit his entire body into the can without it tipping over. Algie finally squeezed his body right inside the garbage, just before Seth took the next corner.
"I'll find you Algernon, just you wait!" Seth said menacingly, as he walked off to continue his patrol. Algie looked up from the garbage can, and seeing that Seth left, sighed in relief. The chubby nerd had (somehow) managed to pull his body out of the garbage, and went for the school entrance. Algie found his bike at the bike rack. It was an old BMX that was pretty common in Bullworth, with its green trim and blue colored front wheel.
But it was enough to get Algie where he needed. Algie rode his bike toward the bridge and looked around to see if there were any preppies left behind. None were there, so hopefully they were in class at that time and not at the boxing gym. Otherwise, his revenge would become very short-lived. Algie noticed a small crater on the beach. It was the same sand Tad slid on after he was tossed on his bike. Algie chuckled to himself in delight, feeling it was only right for that to happen to Tad.
Algie made his way to the gazebo in front of the boxing gym and stopped dead in his tracks. Right at the gazebo was Bif, Gord, and Justin. Algie parked his bike on the brick fence and sneaked around the other side of it, taking care not to make any noise. Of course there were plenty of adults around to mock him, but all the students were used to this kind of treatment, so they wouldn't pay any attention to it. Algie managed to run as fast as he could at the opening, hoping the preppies wouldn't see him. Gord saw something at the corner of his eye looked right when Algie was out of view.
"Did you see that?"
"See what?" asked Bif.
"I thought I saw something"
"Well, what did it look like?"
"It was either an enormous bowling ball passing through or Algernon running as fast as he can."
After a moment of silence, the three preppies roared with laughter. The thought of Algie running around Bullworth Vale during class hours was preposterous and amusing. They all started making jokes about Algie, but they didn't know that Algie was listening in. He put his hand in his mouth to stop himself from rising up and telling them off. Second later he sneaked toward the entrance of the boxing gym and quietly entered.
The gym was surprisingly empty despite the doors being unlocked. Algie walked up to the second floor of the building to the trophy room. He turned and pulled the knob, but the door wouldn't open. Even though the gym wasn't locked, the trophy room was. Algie resorted to slamming the door down, but he bounced off the door, his head rattling. Algie's strength (or lack of) wouldn't get the door open, but he knew what would. He had a fire cracked in his pocket, lighted it and threw it at the door. Unfortunately, it bounced off and landed right next to Algie, making him scream in fear.
The fire cracker exploded, pushing Algie away and making his ears ring. Algie swore under his breath, and knocked at the door. To his surprise, it opened. It turned out the door opened from pushing, not pulling. Algie mentally kicked himself as he entered the trophy room. It was a pretty nice room with its bar and trophy case, but not for long. Algie ran over to the bar and broke every bottle he could find, smashing them and throwing them against the wall. Algie then pushed over several of the chairs and threw some around the room.
But he wasn't done. Algie went over to the trophy case and opened it. Grabbing a can of spray paint from his pocket, Algie tagged it with phrases such as Algie Rulez and Preppies eat vomit. Now most of these weren't the best insults, but considering it was Algie's work, they were not bad. Algie looked around the room proud at his work. His sense of pride vanished when he heard the sound of a door opening.
"- and then I said that only poor trash like them would do that!" Light laughter followed. Algie froze, knowing that the preppies had walked into the gym. He heard footsteps walking up, and ran toward the other entrance in a panic, leaving as soon as the preppies entered. The laughter stopped, with small gasps replacing them. Algie could hear the preppies running around the room as he sneaked away.
"Wh-who could have done this?" Gord asked. All three of the preppies walked toward the trophies and saw a certain students handiwork spray painted on them. "ALGERNON!"
Algie gulped and started to run through the hall, with the preppies opening the door behind him. Not noticing Algie, the preppies looked around.
"Where did he go?"
"You can't hide!"
Algie ran down the stair as fast as he could, with Bif noticing him from the hall. All three preppies immediately chased Algernon down the stairs and through the gym. Despite their fitness, the preppies were unable to catch Algie, and he left the gym in a panic.
Nearly out of breath, Algie continued to run, hoping he could reach his bike in time. As he looked back, he noticed the preppies barging out of the door and heading right for him. After making a difficult turn, Algie made it to his bike and rode off. The three preppies couldn't catch up with him and stopped, shaking their fist angrily at him.
"Loser brains!" Algie yelled as he looked back. Unfortunately, he rode right into a lamppost because he wasn't looking. Algernon shook it off and continued riding toward the school. Algie hoped that he still had time to get to class. The bell rung, and class was over. Algie sighed to himself, hating that he skipped class. But he was delighted that he got his revenge.
