Eddy had taken off the rest of his torn clothes and got into the drawn bath. His body was covered in cuts and bruises, his left eye was black, there was quite a bit of dried blood that came from his nose to past his mouth. He used a washcloth to try to clean himself off, and winced a bit as he felt it sting a bit. It was a good thing he was used to such injury.

Private Conversation
Mr. Science: Are you quite happy with yourself?
Sir Jimmy: Why yes, yes I am.
Mr. Science: Just what in heaven's name do you gain from Ed and Kevin beating up Eddy?
Sir Jimmy: Vain I suppose, a bit of revenge that I've had in store for him since the day we've met.
Mr. Science: But violence? That's not exactly your way.
Sir Jimmy: No, that's the way of the stupid and angry. Normally I'd find a way to break the little piggy, but since he's been long since broken I suppose having his oldest friend and his biggest rival give him the good old one-two, one-two would be amusing. For now at least.
Mr. Science: You're a monster.
Sir Jimmy: Oh am I? Well I suppose you would know.
Mr. Science: Whatever do you mean?
Sir Jimmy: Come now, you should be thankful that nobody believed Eddy when he tried to tell them all about what you did. You should be thankful that I found a way to blame him for stealing your laptop.
Mr. Science: …..
Sir Jimmy: Is that supposed to mean something?
Mr. Science: I just don't know what to say to that.
Sir Jimmy: Say nothing, abide to the contract. Just remember that I can send all your files online where it'll spread like wildfire.

Kevin got a postcard in the mail, he couldn't read where it was from, but it had stamp marks from a lot of European countries.
"Dear Kevin,
Rolf and his family are having a great time in the old country. My relatives are amazed at my good English speaking and are very interested in all my friends in America. Rolf has also met with the girl Rolf's father has promised me to, we are trying to bring her to America as well, you may meet her in the coming months or years.
Rolf hopes to see you all soon!
-Rolf"

When Sarah and her parents came home, Jimmy went out to greet her and the two came back to his room to find it ransacked. The two quickly searched the room for anything that might have been missing.
"It's gone. The laptop's gone!"

When the winter break was over, everyone went back to school aside from Rolf who was still in the process of returning from the Old Country.
There were a new post on the student bulletin board.
"Notice to Students and Staff.
Welcome back to Peach Creek Jr. High! We all hope you had a great break, and that you're all more than ready to kick the new year off right! Also, we would like to remind students that if they feel that they're having difficulty with their student life, they can always stop by at the offices of our guidance counselors Mrs. Dean and Mr. Miller.
Here's to a good year!
Principal Antonucci and Administrative Staff"

Sarah was in the guidance counselors office and dug around for the files containing information on the students Jimmy and her could use for blackmail. All she found though was a notebook that had notes on a few students, some that she found
Eddward Milton
Poor Eddward,he seems to be more stressed out each day. He often complains about how his parents set high standards for him, and expects him to get a perfect record this year after the shame of last year. Getting into fights, defacing school property, and trying to break out of school is something that no parent wants to hear. I know I don't ever want to hear that.
Other than that, Eddward seems to keep his schedule of daily anti-depressants for his clinical depression, but he still seems guilty about something. Perhaps it was disappointing his parents?
Eddy Dean
The more I try to get my son to open up, the more he seems to keep shutting himself in. Well, at least he isn't getting into as much trouble as his brother did.
I know he's upset over his friend Eddward, but he won't tell me why. It's a shame, Eddward is such a nice boy, I can't imagine him doing something that would make Eddy so upset.
Nazz Winters
Nazz is still having problems with showing her real self in school. Her grades are still good, but her overall attitude still falls onto the stereotypical "dumb blonde" even though I know that's not how she is. It seems that she keeps up this attitude more for her appearance than anything else, maybe it's all the pressure?.
Vanity in girls her age isn't a new issue, I wonder if I was ever like that.
Jonathan Woods
Jonathan still insists that he brings his imaginary friend "Plank" to school. While it seems unhealthy to humor him by "enrolling" Plank into the school system, it surprisingly seems to help him focus more in class and his schoolwork. Given it doesn't seem to be disrupting or harming himself and others, the school will continue to allow this.
Update: According to my son,Jonathan has recently become a bit erratic, engaging in defacing of property and making threats. Having looked over these events and over the notes on him so far, it all seems more like a cry for attention rather than intentional malice.
I will have to call his parents about this.

Jimmy watched from inside his room as everyone seemed to gather around Edd's house. Kevin and Rolf were trying to keep Ed from breaking down the door and Nazz was there yelling at them all. Jimmy himself was sitting, eating peaches and cream as he listened to Prokofiev's Dance of the Knights.
He couldn't help but be entertained.
