Mara's POV
We sat with an empty silence between us
"You didn't have to come with me, you know." I muttered, breaking the silence. Lexi's big dark blue eyes looked over to me.
"You're the only person I have, I had to come." she mumbled.
"It'd be better if you didn't come, those foster people wanted to take care of you. You could have stayed with them and just let me go. This boarding school doesn't have the best reputation." Lexi gave a cheerful smile.
"It can't be that bad! It's called Bullsworth Academy right?" I snorted.
"Bullworth, I say more like bullshit!" Lexi rolled her eyes.
"Watch your mouth, Mara, it'll get you in trouble again." lectured Lexi. I rolled my eyes.
"Whatever, it's not like I'll last long anyway; I get in more fights than most. I say, I get in a shit load of fights then we get to get out of Bullshit Academy." Lexi, although not fond of the name, stifled a laugh.
"Bullshit Academy? I guess it's better than our last school." I grinned remembering that school. It had been Saint Frances Public High school, I called it Saint Fuckers.
"Bullworth Academy!" called the bus driver making me stand. I grabbed my bag and swung it over my shoulder as Lexi grabbed her suitcase. We left the bus quickly and I looked around the front gates.
"Well this place looks nice." commented Lexi. I snorted.
"You're too optimistic, everything looks nice to you." I muttered.
"You should be less of a pessimist, its better to look on the good side of things!" I shook my head at Lexi but didn't say anything as a woman approached us. She had a formal looking outfit on, like a secretary or something.
"You must be Miss Mara Akuma, and Miss Alexis Hutchark." she nodded as she looked us over, more so at Lexi's small form.
Lexi was a small girl with no figure, she was flat chested, and almost stick thin. But she had cute features, her slightly round face, her big blue innocent eyes, her long dark brown hair that framed her face, her healthily tan yet not too tan skin, and her big smile that barely ever seemed to leave her face. All in all, Lexi was pretty.
Lexi, would get much farther than me in life, if you asked me.
Lexi's POV
Mara's strange red-purple eyes looked the woman that was approaching us over. Mara was my best friend. Had been since we were little, she knew everything about me. When I was six we met on the playground. I was sitting by myself in the corner because of an injury and some kid was making fun of me. Then all of a sudden, a black haired, ghostly pale girl came over and punched the boy right in the face.
"Get out of here! No one wants you!" she had shouted, her eerie eyes flashing dangerously in the light. Then when the boy had run away in fear, she had turned to me. She had her black beanie on her hat then too.
"Names Mara kid, who're you?" she had asked, sitting down next to me.
"I-I'm Alexis." I had stuttered at the demanding question.
"That's such a boring and long name, I'm calling you Lexi, got it? Good. Now what do you say we go teach that bully a lesson?" Mara smirked, and her canine teeth showed. She just had that smirk that always made her teeth seem sharp, and they were. But they were normal.
Snapping from my memory I looked at Mara. She hadn't really changed much. She was still tall, the sixteen year old stood tall at her proud height of 5'7, an impressive feat for the people in our neighborhood. I however, wasn't able to make it that tall; my short 5'1 stature was embarrassing. She also still had her same hair style, and her face was still narrow, her smirk always on her face. Her eyes were always narrowed too and she had a habit of closing her right eye and trying to use her left eye. However she was blind in her left eye, so that didn't turn out well.
"You must be Miss Mara Akuma and Miss Alexis Hutchark." said the woman as she looked at Mara with a frown, then she looked over at me.
Mara didn't exactly look friendly. She had somehow gotten a taste for piercings, I found it impressive that she had a labret, snake bites, two nose piercings, three lip piercings, her tongue pierced, five total on both her eyebrows, and her ears had way too many to count, I think her belly button had one too. She also had a tattoo obsession, I liked the black and red angel wings that took up her entire back, however the black and red dragon that went up her left arm wasn't as cool. Nor was the black rose on the side of her neck.
"Welcome to Bullworth Academy ladies." Upon the schools name the woman threw her arms out wide, before she turned back to us, "I am Ms Danvers, now we must go get you to the head. We mustn't keep Dr Crabblesnitch waiting, he is such a fine man. Such a fine man."
Ms Danvers left us and I looked at Mara who smirked at me.
"I bet she's fucking him." Her brash comment left me slightly red in the face. Only Mara could do that with her random comments.
"Let's go." muttered Mara. She stalked across the grounds towards the main building getting stared at. I followed behind and she glared at anyone who dared look at me twice. Mara was a bit protective of me, my home life before I ran away wasn't the best and I was very timid.
"Bunch of pig headed panty chasers." muttered Mara as she hunched over to hide her chest. I was completely flat chest; I think Mara somehow stole my genes for that. Mara had two watermelons on her chest.
"Lexi," I turned to Mara as we entered the building, "I feel like everyone is fucking staring at my chest." She wasn't too wrong, most of the guys were.
"You're pretty." I commented.
"Don't lie Lexi, you're too innocent for that. It's my job to lie and do the dirty work." replied Mara, denying my compliment.
We reached the principal's office and first, Mr. Crabblesnitch talked to me.
"Your records are very good Miss Hutchark, you're an extremely talented artist I see, and you have not one speck of trouble on your record! It will be good to have you here." Mr. Crabblesnitch read through a paper, most likely my record. He placed it back in a small folder and grabbed a large, fat one.
"Miss Akuma however, needs to learn to keep her nose clean!" I blinked, wondering if I was hearing things. I turned to Mara, who to anyone other than me looked completely stoic, was trying her hardest not to bite out a snarky comment or burst out laughing. She would probably do both had it not been our first day here.
"Let me read some of your offenses Miss Akuma, violence, bullying, cheating, truancy, vandalism, use of weapons, smoking on school grounds, theft, misconduct, foul language, impudence, and the list goes on! I have never seen such a troublemaking young lady such as yourself! While you are here you had better keep your nose clean, or else I will have to clean it for you!" warned Mr. Crabblesnitch. Mara smirked.
"Whatever you say, sir." she mocked.
"Do not talk back girl! You might find yourself a place at the local jail if you don't behave!" Mara rolled her eyes but nodded.
"Now, you two go to the girl's dorm room and change into uniform and unpack. Then you may find someone to bring you around the school grounds." ordered Mr. Crabblesnitch. Mara and I left quickly. That was when Mara burst out laughing.
"Fucking clean my nose. What the hell?" laughed Mara.
"I-I think it was a metaphor." I offered, stuttering while trying to hold in my own laughter.
"Whatever it was, it was stupid. Now let's go and get our room." decided Mara. I followed her obediently.
3RD PERSON POV
The greasers were hanging around the auto shop as usual the day the new students came. None of the greasers cared much for new students seeing as most students didn't care for the shop class and the greasers didn't usually add anyone to their cliché.
"I'm telling you, Johnny should just dump the slut." muttered Peanut to Ricky, the latter nodding.
"I agree man, Lola ain't nothin but trouble. She's already cheating on him." commented Ricky.
"Shuddup before Johnny hears you and we hafta listen to another one of his Lola rants!" snapped Lucky.
"Who knows where he is? We can talk all we want." muttered Lefty.
"Who knows where who is?" asked said boy as Johnny approached. Peanut snorted.
"You deserve that one Lefty." Lefty scowled at Peanut.
"Shuddup."
"Hey, did you hear about the new chicks?" questioned Hal as he joined them.
"What new chicks?" questioned Johnny, he like many of the other greasers hadn't heard because they had skipped.
"The new chicks, they just got here. Ones got boobs the size of watermelons!" replied Hal.
"Then there's the other chick, the smaller one. She's a shy lil'thing. She walked into me on the way to the girls dorm, she almost fainted and barely got a word out in her apology." added Norton as he pulled out a cigarette.
"Man, the other chick almost bit your head off for scaring the lil'one, fucking bark on her is bad, wonder what her bite is?" laughed Vance.
"She's probably bluffin, most chicks do." stated Johnny.
"Nah, this chick was like a demon, reddish eyes and all." muttered Norton.
"Red eyes? I wanna see that, that ain't possible." decided Johnny.
"It's possible, my cousin has red eyes. Something bout her being an albino or somethin." commented Peanut.
"That chick with the pale hair?" questioned Johnny. Peanut nodded.
"Yeah, the one who never takes her shades off." Johnny nodded at the description, knowing who Peanut was talking about.
"I never knew she had red eyes." muttered Johnny.
"Not many do, she hides'em, something bout them being nothin but trouble." recalled Peanut.
"I bet one of us has a class with'em, we should go to get a good look at the new chicks." offered Ricky.
"Do whatever you want." Johnny shrugged as he left. He didn't care about his classes, he was skipping.
'I'm going to go find Lola.' he decided as he left the school grounds.
Mara's POV
The dorm rooms, sucked, ass. My favorite colors were all dark colors, black, dark purple, dark blue, dark red, dark green, and silver. Anything else pissed me off severely. The entire fucking girls dorm was freaking pink.
PINK.
And what was worse was I had a separate room from Lexi. She was thrown in with a tall nerdy girl named Beatrice while I was stuck in a single room since there was no other room in any other rooms. Lovely.
"Your room is big." mumbled Lexi as she watched me scowl at the pink walls.
"That's because there aren't any other beds. Just mine, my closet, my desk, and whatever else is in here." I replied as I hung my clothes up in my closet. Then I pulled out the uniform and scowled at it. I looked over at Lexi, who was already donning the outfit.
It was a white button up collared shirt with a breast pocket that had the BW sewn on it. Then there was a short dark green skirt and a matching tie. Lexi had added knee high socks and the school gave black flats. She also added a green jacket that I believe the school gave us, but I misplaced already.
Lexi looked good in it. Her small figure fit in it well. When I put on the outfit minutes later, my chest was pulling the shirt up and I had to leave the first three buttons undone, and I left the tie out. I also decided to pull on my black hooded sweatshirt to cover my arms and I left slightly ripped black leggings on. I also ignored the flats and wore my boots.
"Well, let's go wander around." I decided. Lexi gave me a small sheepish smile.
"Actually, Beatrice wanted to introduce me to her friends so I was going to go with her…" I gave her a small, real, smile.
"Good, go make some new friends. I'm not the best friend, so make some new good ones." I ordered. Lexi nodded and rushed out as I grabbed my black side bag and left my room after locking it.
I wandered around and learned a few things. One thing was the prefects. They were pretty much guards that were everywhere and they hated everyone. I heard one call me a little demon. And I witnessed them tackle and restrain a kid who had punched another kid.
This school looks interesting, I had decided as I walked along. I liked watching the poor kid get tackled by the large man. I had found it hilarious.
I had a mission though, so I had to stay focused.
First I went to find the auto shop, which was easy. Then, locked away in a small garage that only opened with a key I had, and a key the shop teacher had, was my motorcycle. It was broken from an accident I had with it so I was determined to fix it with the auto shop tools. But I only went to make sure it was there, after locking it up tight again I looked around.
Old school bus, bag of marbles on the floor, bullies… I looked around. Eventually, I grabbed the bag of marbles with a smirk. I quickly looked around for a prefect, finding none I rolled them on the ground under the bully's feet before I took off. I of course watched them slip and slide onto their asses, thoroughly amused by my prank.
"Idiots." I laughed as I watched them get up and finally get away from the marbles. They left the parking lot and I laughed as I stood there. I pocketed the marbles and walked back over to the auto shop. I walked around for a bit until it got bored. Then I left ad found my way to the school gates. I made note of the important land mark. I liked skipping, I need to be able to leave to skip.
Then, I found my way back to the auto shop. I could already see I would frequent the area, it wasn't loud or populated by many. Plus my bike was here, and there was a road to get out so it was another escape route if necessary.
"Hey you!" I turned around to find a boy walking towards me. He had a leather jacket and hair I could tell had been greased from my spot a good bunch of feet away.
"You're that new chick, right?" he asked.
"What's it to you?" I snapped. He laughed.
"Nothin, curious is all. Names Larry but everyone calls me Peanut, you?" he asked.
"Mara." I replied as I eyed the cigarette box he had in his pocket. He noticed and pulled it out.
"Want one?" he offered. I frowned, I was trying to get off the habit for Lexi…. but…
"Eh, one more can't hurt." I decided nodding. Peanut handed me one and I pulled out my own lighter I had for different purposes. As we leaned against the wall, smoking, we talked.
"So you saw the school?" asked Peanut.
"What I could find, don't know my way around yet. And I can't learn shit with no one showing me around." I admitted.
"Well I'll show you around if you want." he offered. I nodded, accepting the offer.
"Thanks, anything I should know?" I asked. He nodded.
"This place has cliques, the nerds, the jocks, the bullies, the preps, and the greasers." he explained. I interrupted him though.
"I'm guessing you're a greaser?" I asked. He nodded with a slight grin.
"How could you tell?" he asked.
"Leather jacket and greased back hair." I replied as I breathed out some smoke.
"Dead giveaways." agreed Peanut.
"So these cliques, I'm guessing they're major things here?" Peanut nodded and began to explain.
Boy was this school interesting.
Lexi's POV
I walked around with Beatrice nervously as she explained to me about the cliques. She was in the nerd clique, and I was able to tell. She had big classes and she just screamed awkward and smart with her looks alone.
"Hey Lexi, do you think I can leave you here and you can get back? I have something I need to do." explained Beatrice. I nodded.
"This is fine, thanks for showing me around." I smiled at her. She nodded and walked off quickly. I watched her walk away and then turned around deciding to try and find the art room; however that ended when I accidentally walked into someone and we both fell back.
"Sorry!" we both squeaked at the same time. Well, I squeaked. He more or less yelped. We stared at each other and I giggled. Sitting in front of me was a boy that wasn't too much taller than me. He had tan skin and dark brown hair with soft chocolate colored eyes. He had a pink shirt on under the blue Bullsworth uniform vest.
"Sorry about that, I'm Lexi." I greeted nervously. He gave a small smile.
"No, it was my fault, I'm sorry. And I'm Pete." he introduced himself. We both got up and I dusted my skirt off.
"So Pete, actually can I call you Petey?" I questioned. Petey nodded. I smiled at him.
"So Petey, sorry for bumping into you. I'm a bit clumsy!" I giggled to emphasize my point. He laughed.
"No, I'm telling you it was my fault; I wasn't looking where I was going." I shook my head.
"Then it was both our faults because neither was I." I laughed. He let out another laugh. Then I remembered where I wanted to go.
"Hey Petey, I'm new here. Where's the art room?" I asked. He smiled.
"I was heading there now, I can show you the way." he offered. I nodded and we walked to the main building. Turns out the art room was upstairs in the corner. When we got in the art teacher, Ms Philips, had greeted us and let us grab supplies and paint or draw. I decided to paint. Petey took the easel next to mine.
"So you like art?" asked Petey. I nodded.
"I love art; it's how I express myself." I admitted quietly. Petey nodded.
"Yeah, it's a good way to express things." he agreed.
"My best friend uses music to show her feelings." I commented.
"That scary girl?" he asked. I blinked as he added, "The one who stomped out of the girl's dorm angrily? Black hair, red-purple eyes?" I laughed.
"Yeah, that's Mara. She has a real bad temper, and she's like a bull. Only she angers at the color pink. The girl's dorm is nothing but pink!" I joked. Petey laughed.
"Maybe that's why she almost ran me over, I guess my pink shirt won't help me in the situation I'm near her." he joked awkwardly. I laughed anyway and he looked relieved.
"Mara is actually really nice when you get to know her, she's just not too friendly looking, or friendly when you first meet." I defended my friend. He nodded.
"I'm sure she is, most people that are mean use it to hide their insecurities." he explained. I nodded, soaking in the knowledge.
So people use anger to hide insecurities? I can remember that!
I spent the rest of the day in the art room with Petey, my new friend. We got along great; we were both shy and slightly awkward. And I learned that Petey walked with a slight limp. I felt bad, but didn't ask if he was hurt because Ms Philips saw me watching his limp and shook her head at me when I gave him a worried glance.
That night when I was ready for bed I sneaked into Mara's empty room. Mara slept horribly, she usually said that insomnia was a bitch. She usually drew and wrote in this black hardcover book she had. It was where she put down her feelings and stuff. I opened it up to the newest entry. It was a diary.
October 13th
Bullworth Academy, the shittiest place on earth. It's full of bullies and idiots. But there were a few ok people, this girl Beatrice was nice to Lexi, and this guy named Peanut seemed ok. We smoked and he showed me around and told me about the cliques. I'm going to keep notes on them.
Jocks-Stupid, big, tough, love sports, hang out around the gym.
Bullies-Tough, like to pick on others, usually are all over the school.
Nerds-Weak, intelligent, Peanut described them as weak but sneaky intelligent bastards, they hang out all over school and in the library.
Preps-The greasers' enemy. According to Peanut, they're rich inbreeds who live off their family's fortune and they hang out around the Harrington House.
Greasers-Peanut's clique. Leader is some guy named Johnny Vincent. They hang out around New Coventry and usually stay there or around the auto shop. They like to fix and race bikes and they run New Coventry. They usually skip classes. They're enemies with the preps.
That's all for today, oh and one more thing.
Welcome to Bullshit Academy.
AN
So how does it look? Good, bad, neutral? Tell me please. Oh, and first i read a fic where the school uniform was black, then one where it was teal, then the boys uniform is blue, and i see people with green uniforms, so i changed the uniform colors like A MILLION times, it is now green, and has blue strips on the tie. Somewhat.
For those of you who are a follower of me(And there are a few... like 3 people) i know this isn't Naruto, and i know i usually do Naruto, so forgive me.
Anyway, so here are character descirptions, i did my best to make them in the cover pic but the colors didn't like me, neither did the lines.
Mara-Long black hair with crimson tips, Red-purple eyes, black beanie, black sweatshirt over uniform, bangs covering left eye, under left bangs a long scar, many piercings, tattoos, black leggins under skirt, pale, black boots.
Personality-Stubborn, rude, temperamental, sarcastic.
Lexi-Dark brown hair, tan-ish skin, green jacket over uniform, big blue eyes.
Personality-Timid, caring, friendly, artistic.
Anyway, so this is a Bully fic. I LOVE the game, its so much fun! I love pulling the fire alarm(And i laugh whenever i hear Peanut say "Johnny, a fire!" And once Hall said "You think you got problems? Look at me, i have man boobs!" I swear he said that! He won't say it again though...) and either throwing marbles all over and hiding in my room while watching everyone fall over them multiple times or throwing stink bombs out. Hilarious.
I'm a big Johnny Vincent fan, and my friend who created Lexi is a Petey fan, thus how our OCS love interests came to be.
That's all, PEACE
