(A/N) So, I wanna say thank you to the two peope who reviewed my first chapter :D Oh, and I have changed the title of the story because somone very kindly pointed out that it gave away the story a little bit, so thank you very much for pointing that out, I appreciate it :D So yeah, until I can think of a good title that doesnt give away the story, it will be stuck as 'Welcome to Bullworth Academy' :D
So, please read and review! Constructive criticism is welcomed! Oh, and one more thing, sorry for the awful ending, this chapter was originally MUCH longer, but I shortened it a little as I thought it was maybe a bit too long, so I apologize for that :D
"Hello?" A shy voice rang out from the door way, and sitting up, Eve looked at the door, biting her lip nervously as she stared at the girl who stood there.
The girl was very thin, and looked slightly underweight. She had dirty-blonde hair, which was tied back with a pink ribbon at the top. A pair of dark green glasses sat perched on her nose, and she had a few cold sores around her mouth. The girl wore a green Bullworth dress over a white school shirt, and on her legs she wore white knee high socks.
"Hi," Eve answered, smiling shyly at the girl as she stepped into her room, who was smiling kindly at Eve as she realised how shy she was.
"I'm Beatrice. Mrs. Peabody asked me to show you around the school," She announced, sounding a little more confident as she pushed her glasses back up the bride of her nose, as they had slowly been sliding down.
"Oh, okay, I'm Eve Jones," Eve said, getting up off her bed and straightening out her white, floral print dress.
"You should probably change into your uniform before we go. The prefects will give you a detention if they see you without it on, and they can be pretty rough," Beatrice warned, smiling grimly.
Eve stood up, walking over to what she presumed was her wardrobe, and opening it up she pulled out her new school uniform.
"I'll wait out here while you get changed," Beatrice said, walking out the room in a slightly awkward manner.
Eve nodded, before starting to get changed.
Once she had gotten changed she glanced in the mirror than hung on the inside of the wardrobe door, rolling the sleeves of her white school shirt up to her elbows, before turning her attention to her dark teal school skirt, which fell to the middle of her thighs. She couldn't help but wish it was longer. On her feet she wore plain black ballet pumps, which she thought were very comfy indeed.
Eve sighed, quickly fixing her pale brown hair, before walking over to the door, and opening it gently.
"Ready?" Beatrice asked, as she noticed the door open slightly.
"Yep," Eve answered, suddenly feeling not so shy around Beatrice. After all, she thought Beatrice seemed like a really nice girl, and she thought it was incredibly helpful of Beatrice to give her a tour of the school.
Beatrice turned and scanned Eve's uniform quickly, before smiling.
"Your uniform is cute, way better than mine," She stated, turning round and starting to walk down the corridor towards the stairs.
"Thanks," Eve said, blushing at the compliment. Eve wasn't really used to compliments, considering the fact that she didn't get them a lot.
"So, we've got about an hour before class starts, so we should be able to get around the whole school by then," Beatrice said, "Wait, what class have you got first?" She stopped and turned to face Eve, smiling slightly as Eve pulled her schedule out of her shirt pocket, scanning it carefully.
"Um, I have Chemistry first, with Dr. Watts," Eve answered, before looking at Beatrice.
Beatrice grinned widely, her braces flashing in the light.
"Oh, that's great, so do I," She exclaimed happily. "Can I have a look at your schedule?"
Eve nodded; placing her schedule in Beatrice's outstretched hand. Beatrice studied it for a few moments, somehow managing to miraculously walk whilst staring at the schedule, without bumping into anything or anyone.
"We have the exact same schedule," Beatrice stated, smiling at Eve in a friendly fashion.
"Oh, that's a relief, at least I have all of my classes with someone I know," Eve said, smiling cheerfully.
"Yeah, it's always good to have lessons with your friends. So, where do you want to go first?" Beatrice asked, as she pushed open the doors of the dormitory and stepped outside.
"Anywhere you want. I hope you don't mind having to show me around," Eve said sheepishly, following Beatrice as she headed down the path, before turning left, heading towards the main building.
"It's okay, that's what friends are for," Beatrice answered, casting a nervous glance towards a blonde haired guy wearing a scruffy white shirt.
Eve smiled as Beatrice said this. It was only Eve's first day, and already she'd made a new friend, and so far, she thought things seemed to be going okay.
Ten minutes after the final bell had rang, indicating that classes were finished for the day, Eve found herself sitting in her room, staring round in a bored fashion. She was shocked to find that the teachers at Bullworth weren't very good at…well…teaching. In fact Eve seemed to get the impression that they couldn't even control the class, apart from Mr. Hattrick, the mean Math teacher, who everyone seemed hate.
However, despite the awful classes, Eve was very pleased with herself as she'd managed to make yet another new friend, and this boy seemed even shyer than she was.
His name was Pete Kowalski, and not many people at the school seemed to know that he existed, as he was so quiet. Pete was very small, around the same size as Eve, and he wore a blue Bullworth vest over a pink, long-sleeved shirt, and brown school trousers.
Pete, despite how shy he was, had kindly offered to show Eve around Old Bullworth Vale the next day, and Eve had immediately agreed.
Eve sighed, closing her grey eyes, rubbing her temples gently. She was feeling a little stressed, as she'd already been given a lot of homework off Mr. Hattrick and Dr. Watts.
Suddenly, the door of the room slammed open, and in marched a skinny, black haired girl, glancing at the door as it slammed against the wall, leaving a small thin crack in it.
"Oops," She said sarcastically, before her dark blue eyes suddenly fell upon Eve. "Who the hell are you?"
The girl walked over to her bed, falling down on it, before turning over so that she was lying on her stomach, facing Eve.
"I'm Eve, I'm your new room mate," Eve explained in a timid voice as she once again bit her lip nervously. The black haired girl just studied Eve for a few moments, before grinning widely, and turning to look out of the window beside her bed.
"Awesome, I'm Sky," She said, glancing back at Eve to see she was still biting her lip, now twirling her long hair round her finger. "So, how was your first day, huh?"
"Um, it was okay I suppose, just a little…um…" Eve trailed off, not wanting to confess to this Skyler girl that she had found her first day absolutely terrifying.
"Just a little scary? Don't worry, happens to everyone," Sky said reassuringly, smirking to herself lightly.
"Where you scared on your first day here?" Eve asked, feeling a little bit braver. Sky seemed alright; in fact it made Eve wonder why all the teachers looked so grim when they mentioned the girl's name.
"Um, not really, I was just a little nervous," Sky stated, glancing at the clock which hung upon the wall, before glancing back at Eve, who looked much calmer than she had a few minutes ago.
"So, who showed you around?" Sky asked.
"Beatrice," Eve replied, making Sky smile and nod.
"She was meant to show me around on my first day, but I ended up ditching my classes and hanging out with Trent and his friends," Sky stated, smirking slightly as she thought about that dear memory.
"Who's Trent?" Eve asked, staring at Sky curiously.
"Oh, he's my friend, he's in the Bullies clique," Sky explained, tapping her short nails against the window sill next to her bed, staring out of it in an absent minded manner.
"Cliques?" Eve asked, raising her eyebrows. Whenever Eve heard the word clique, it reminded her of those typical high school movies, where it had all the different cliques, ranging from the nerds, to the Goths, to the Jocks and then to the outcasts, who weren't actually outcasts at all since they hung around together. Eve had never been to a school which had cliques before though, so it was quite interesting to her.
"Yeah, didn't Beatrice tell you about them?" Sky asked, a surprised look on her face as Eve shook her head.
"Well, I might as well tell you about the cliques then. First off, you have the Bullies, they hand by the car park, their leader's Russell," Sky started, "Then, there are the Preppies, they're rich scumbags who think they're better than everyone else, I'd avoid them if I were you, they hang by Harrington House, and their leader is Derby,"
"Then there's the Greasers, they hang by the Auto Shop, they're friendly enough, but they hate the Preppies. I mean seriously, they're always fighting with them. Anyways, the Greaser's leader is Johnny Vincent," Sky turned over onto her back, staring up at the ceiling as she continued, "Then there are the Nerds, that's the clique that Beatrice is in, and I'm guessing you're in the Nerd clique too now, they hang by the library. I think their leader is Ernest…I dunno. Anyways, finally, there's the Jocks, avoid them, they're pretty mean, they hang by the Gym and Football Field. Oh, and there's a few Non-clique students too, most of them are nice, well actually I don't know, I don't talk to them" Sky finished, glancing out the window one last time before shutting the curtains.
"Wow, that sounds…scary," Eve said uncertainly, biting her lip again. Despite the fact that she thought the cliques seemed daunting, she had to admit, she was glad that she actually fitted into one. Even if that clique was the Nerd clique, at least at this school she actually belonged somewhere. Beatrice had even offered to introduce Eve to the Nerds, so that they could then play a game of Grottos and Gremlins, which Eve had politely declined. Grottos and Gremlins just didn't sound like her thing.
Sky on the other hand shrugged, and started to undo her tie, throwing it on the floor carelessly, before kicking off her boots, walking over to the wardrobe and pulling out her pyjamas, which consisted off grey shorts and a black tank top.
"Anyways, I'm gonna call it a night…so…goodnight," Sky stated, walking out the room, heading off to get changed.
Eve nodded to herself, before hurrying to get changed into her pyjamas before Sky came back. She quickly got ready, pulling on a pink vest top and white three-quartered joggers, and was just climbing into her surprisingly soft and comfy bed as Sky scuttled back in, throwing her uniform on the floor, before taking a running jump onto her bed.
"Night!" She called, before turning off the lamp, which sat on the nightstand beside her bed. Eve smiled and did the same, and suddenly the room was covered in darkness.
"Goodnight," Eve replied, sinking her head into her pillow, smiling peacefully as she slowly drifted off into a comfortable sleep.
The next day Eve stood outside the girl's dorm, waiting for Pete. Today he was going to show her around Old Bullworth Vale since it was now Saturday.
Eve smiled at Pete as he she finally spotted him walking towards her, a shy and nervous smile on his face.
"Hey Eve," Pete greeted. "Uh, I hope you don't mind but two of my friends want to tag along,"
"Sure, no problem," Eve said, though on the inside she was starting to feel incredibly nervous again. She wasn't very comfortable with meeting new people, but she supposed if they were friends with Pete then they must have been friendly people.
"Cool. Oh, before you meet them, I thought I'd just warn you. Ignore Gary if he says anything, he can be a bit of a jerk," Pete warned, before heading off to the main gates with Eve walking beside him.
Eve couldn't help but feel worried as he said this, but she put on a brave face and tried to act calm. She always tried to hide how nervous she felt on the inside, but she wasn't always successful with it. In fact, people could usually see right through her.
As they neared the gates, Eve spotted two boys standing on the spot.
The taller of the two had brown hair which was in a low fade style, and as Eve and Pete neared the two, she noticed that he had a scar over his right eye. He was wearing a teal sweater vest over a shirt, and had a pair of grey school slacks. Despite the fact it was the weekend, all the Bullworth students still wore their uniform.
Eve's gaze then fell on the other boy, who was slightly shorter and stockier than the first boy. He had faint freckles on his cheeks and an auburn buzz cut, as well as a gold stud earring in his left ear. He wore a blue Bullworth sweater vest, over a scruffy white shirt, and wore a pair of khaki school slacks. Overall his uniform was pretty messy.
"Hey guys," Pete said as he and Eve finally reached them, sounding slightly nervous.
"Hey Pete," The shorter boy greeted, looking slightly bored as he looked around, only glancing at Eve for a second, before looking away again. However, the other boy's eyes lingered on Eve, a smirk appearing on his face.
"Well look at this, Femme Boy finally got himself a girlfriend," He said, laughing slightly.
Eve's looked at Pete from the corner of her eye, and saw that he looked a bit upset. She was assuming that the guy who had called him Femme Boy was Gary; after all, Pete had said that Gary could be a bit of a jerk.
"Eve, this is Gary," Pete said, indicating to the taller one, "And this is Jimmy," He pointed to the smaller one who still had a bored expression on his face, as he nodded at Eve, before glancing away again.
Gary however, studied Eve intently, a large smirk on his face, which made her feel very self conscious.
Gary turned to Pete, and pushed him out of the school gates, forcing him to walk forward as he said, "Come on little Petey, lets show your little girlfriend around Old Bullworth Vale,"
