Hello, I hope you all enjoy the first chapter! Parts of the original script will be in this story… All rights go to the writers of the game. I own none of the characters in this game either.
Think back to an extremely awkward moment in your life. Do you remember the uncomfortable or tense feeling in your stomach? Did the painful silence and pissed-off looks engrain themselves into your brain? Well, that was currently happening to me right now. Here I was with my brother, mother, and stepfather number 12 in a small, cramped car. All of us were pissed at one another… no one dared to speak after the argument that occurred before we got on the road. I tried to take myself out of the situation and imagine I was anywhere but here. But sadly, the bumps in the road and huffs of annoyance brought me back to my reality. I glared at the window and bit my tongue… I didn't want another fight to break out. I turned my head to look at Jimmy who was burning a hole in the other glass window. I heard my mother sigh, she turned her head to look at us.
"Jade, Jimmy, please say something." She pleaded.
Jimmy and I looked at each other before I scoffed and rolled my eyes. He chuckled slightly at my reaction.
"Jade lose the-" Jimmy quickly turned his head to glare at our Step-father. He didn't really like anyone getting after me.
"What? Who are you? Mom I thought you always told Jade and me never talk to strangers?" Jimmy snapped back. Our mother huffed in annoyance and tensed in her seat.
"Like I said before you two be nice to your new Stepfather." She said in a lovesick tone. I fought the urge to fake gag.
"Please like I'll ever consider that thing to be a father figure," I replied. I saw my mother's eyes in the rearview mirror, her reflection glared at me.
"Yeah like we'll ever consider a rich guy that is fat, and older than our grandfather a father," Jimmy spoke, agreeing with my previous statement."
"That is it! I've had it with you little brats! All I want is some peace and quiet with my new husband and you insult him!"
"You two upset your mother! I've got half a mind to beat you two."
"Half a mind is right," I start.
"Suddenly he realizes." Jimmy finished for me.
"I can't believe you little monsters! We'll deal with you after we get back from our honeymoon… next year."
Our Stepfather chuckled at our mother's comeback before adding…
"If we even want to come back next year."
Part of me didn't want them to come back… but I decided not to say anything else.
"Here we are kids, Bullworth Academy! We'll think of you two on our cruise ship." I hurriedly got out of the car taking my bag with me before slamming the door shut. As soon as Jimmy got out they sped away without a second thought. I had to admit it stung a little, even if I didn't always get along with our mother.
"Mom, what is wrong with you? Why'd you marry that phony?" Jimmy asked to the view of the car driving away.
"Our mother doesn't have very good taste…"
"Yeah, you're right about that Jade." We turned around as the creaking of a gate echoed through the Autumn air.
"You must be the Hopkins' kids." The professional-looking women said to us.
"Yep, that's us," I replied back, I thought I saw her eye twitch in annoyance.
"We've been excepting you, Welcome to Bullworth Academy… I'm sure you two will be very happy here. Very happy indeed."
I screwed on a painful smile, Jimmy however had the same glare he had before.
"Well, I can't spend my time waiting around for naughty little boys and girls."
"That sounds really creepy." I thought to myself.
"I've got a man to make happy! The headmaster is expecting you two in his study, come with me."
"Okay," Jimmy said as he started walking toward the street in a feeble attempt to escape.
"His study is over there boy! In the main building, don't you keep waiting! He's a brilliant man… just brilliant." She said in the same lovesick tone my mother had.
My smile turned into a painful look on my face, Jimmy didn't look too much better. We walked into the school, the lady didn't bother waiting for us and had left inside the school already. The campus didn't look too bad, but it did look like I place I could get lost in. We had walked toward a group of boys in plain white button-up shirts.
"Oh look at this boys… fresh meat. Girly there don't look too bad." One of them said, the group unanimously agreed with him.
Jimmy had tensed up already wanting to start a fight but I grabbed him before he could throw the first punch.
"It's not worth it, they're just trying to get a rise out of you," I spoke up, I rolled my eyes before walking past them dragging Jimmy with me. The scrapping of his shoes told me he was trying to slow me down but it was in vain. We soon reached the principles office, the lady from before looked at us with annoyance.
"What took you two so long?" I had started to explain ourselves but she soon interrupted me. "No time, go in there now!" We walked into the office, it was dark a dreary.
"Ah yes, you must be the Hopkins'." said.
"Yes Sir."
"Ugh… Uh-huh." Jimmy sighed out.
"Uh-huh? Uh-huh, what?"
"I meant yes sir."
"Very good, let's see here…" said to himself as we sat down.
"You Jimmy have done a lot of naughty things haven't vandalism, graffiti, bad language, violent conduct, disrespecting staff... Oh, I'm scared of you Jimmy!" Jimmy glared back at him.
"C'mon give me a break!"
"Hmm… let's see here Jade, you haven't done nearly as much as your brother… but your mother did say you're quite the attention seeker." I was looking down at my lap but my head shot up when I heard the last bit of my sheet.
"Excuse me?" I replied. Jimmy seemed to have heard the defensiveness in my tone and put a hand on my shoulder to calm me down.
"Dying your hair, wearing dark makeup, face piercings, bad language, a bad temperament… she says they're all calls out for attention." He read nonchalantly. My stomach churned as he named off all the things she said about me.
"She's quite wrong about that," I replied in a tense voice. simply waved me off not taking me seriously.
"My goodness from the looks of these sheets you two must be the worst kids this school has ever seen! Why should I waste my time on you?"
I didn't say anything to him, my lips pursed in annoyance.
"Who knows?" Jimmy said.
"Because it's my calling!
He shot up from where he was sitting. It's just what I do, you excel at causing trouble and I excel at fixing boys and girls such as yourselves. By the end of your stay, you will be acceptable members of our community! I've got a good feeling about you two, we will all be great friends. You keep your noses clean or I will clean them myself!" He looked at the door before speaking again. "Miss. Danvers, are you back yet?"
"Yes Sir, and I brought your tea." She said sweetly.
"You are good to me Miss Danvers."
"No more than you deserve headmaster." She placed the tea down on his desk before looking at him lovingly.
"Could you show these two around the school? And get them properly attired?" He asked.
"Of course headmaster!" She replied eagerly, She then turned toward us and glared. "Come along you two, I haven't got all day." We all started to walk out of the office when stopped us.
"Remember you two, keep that nose clean or we'll clean it for you!" I half heartily nodded before leaving the room.
What in the hell kind of High School is this?
