Doug's POV

As we're about to enter our dorm room, one guy with a scar on his right eye and a teal green sweater vest stops us.

Guy: Hey - you're the new kid!

Doug: Yes, nice to meet you. I'm Douglas Hawkins, but called me Doug.

I wanted to give him a handshake, but this guy seems to be interested in Jimmy more than me.

Guy: I was talking to his guy, nerd. Get lost!

Doug: Oh, okay!

Just as I go to my dorm, it seems to have two beds: one is being used and one is empty, and I have my luggage beside it. Then one short boy with a pink shirt and blue sweater vest appeared behind me, and I was started.

Boy: Hey, what are you doing? You must be a new kid. I'm Pete Kowalski, and you called me Petey.

Petey offered me a handshake, and I did. He smiled a bit.

Doug: Nice to meet you too, Petey. I'm Douglas Hawkins, Doug for short. Are you my roommate?

Petey: No. I'm only here because I wanted to introduce myself to you. And I just hope Gary didn't do anything stupid to the other kid, as I saw them talking there.

I was surprised that the guy I saw was his friend.

Doug: Wait, that guy with a scar on his eye is Gary?

Petey: Yes, his name is Gary Smith. He's… my good friend.

Doug: That jerk is your friend.

Petey: Yeah, pretty surprising, huh? And you better change your uniform before the teachers come here.

Doug: Okay.

As Petey leaves the room, I change my outfit to the uniform that my mom bought for me. It was a dark teal Bullworth v-neck sweater. Then I wear it with a white shirt, a black and yellow tie, a pair of tan trousers, and brown loafers. As I finished wearing my uniform, someone came into my room. I thought it might be Petey again, but when I turned around, I saw it wasn't Petey but the skinny-looking guy with slick black hair. He wears a dark teal Bullworth v-neck sweater like mine as well. He looks at me and then enters my room, walks to his desk, and tries to find something in it. This guy might be my roommate. Then I talked to him and said,

Doug: Hello, my name is Douglas Hawkins, and you just called me Doug. You must be my roommate.

Then the guy looked at me coldly and said,

Guy: My name is Constantinos Brakus, and don't expect a warm welcome from me.

Doug: No, I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm new here, that's all.

Constantinos: Okay, but since you're a new kid, you know everything about this school.

Doug: No, I don't know much about it. However, the other new kid named Jimmy told me this is the worst school in the country. Is that true?

Then Constantinos sat on the chair near his desk and said:

Constantinos: Yes. And did you agree to enroll here?

Doug: I didn't say anything. My parents changed jobs all of a sudden, and they didn't say anything to me about it, even if I asked them questions.

Constantinos: Really?

Doug: Yeah, and most of all, they didn't love me at all.

Constantinos: I feel you, man. My parents disliked me too.

And then suddenly, Gary entered the room.

Gary: Hey, new kid. Come over here.

Constantinos: Oh, speak of a devil.

Gary looked at Constantinos and said,

Gary: Ah, Brakus, the gloomiest boy in school! I saw you and the new kid getting along, huh?

Constantinos: Leave me alone, jerk.

Gary: Oh, look at you, being the biggest loser as usual.

Gary then looked at me and said,

Gary: Hey, new kid. You better not get near that loser. He will drag you into a hole of misery. You better follow me.

Doug: But you said you'd only been interested in Jimmy a few minutes ago.

Gary: But now I'm interested in you as well. Now follow me. I asked you nicely.

Doug: Okay.

I don't know what to do, but I decided to follow Gary. As me and Gary got out of my room, leaving Constantinos behind, Gary looked at me and said,

Gary: I hate that Constantinos guy even more than the nerds.

Doug: Excuse me?

Gary: Well, look at his face. So gloomy, right? Aha.

Just then, me and Gary heard Jimmy's voice from another room. When we entered the room, we saw Jimmy talking to Petey.

Jimmy: Great, I've been expelled from anywhere halfway decent.

Then Gary said it sarcastically as I watched them talk.

Gary: "Yeah, I've been expelled from anywhere halfway decent cause I'm really bad". Give up the tough guy act, pal.

Jimmy: Hey man, what's your problem?

Gary: Well, A.D.D., primarily, but also life, my parents, this school, western civilization, but really, honestly, enough about me.

Then Gary looked at Petey, grabbed him by the shoulder, and pulled him.

Gary: Oh, I see you've met the dorm's mascot. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you "Femme Boy", the girliest boy in school.

Doug: Yeah, I met him a few minutes ago.

Gary: Well, that's good to hear it, umm... What's your name again?

Doug: It's Doug. Douglas Hawkins.

Gary: Welcome to the toughest school in the country, Doug, and I hope you enjoy it.

Then Gary looked at Petey.

Gary: Petey, haven't you got some imaginary friends to go annoy?

Petey: Why don't you leave me alone, Gary?

Petey was very irritating to Gary.

Gary: Look at you! "Leave me alone Gary! I'm really self important now that I've finally hit puberty!"

Then I stepped in for Petey.

Doug: Gary, please just leave him alone, okay?

Gary looked at me and said,

Gary: Jeez, Doug. I'm just being nice to you and this new guy as you and him pass through Bullworth on your and his inevitable journey to prison.

Then Jimmy walked away from all of us and said,

Jimmy: Look, I gotta unpack. Would you guys mind getting outta here?

Gary: Oh, now look what you've done, Pete! Jimmy can't stand you already.

Doug: Actually, he can't stand you, Gary.

Gary: Oh, shut up, Doug.

Doug: Not this word again.

Gary: Why? Does "shut up" irritate you a lot?

Doug: Yes, just like back in my previous school.

Gary: Haha, now I know why you enrolled here in the first place.

Doug: That's not the reason.

Jimmy: Just get out of here! Now!

Then Me, Gary, and Petey left Jimmy's room. Then I go to my room, unpack my stuff, and bring my textbook, notebook, and any other school supplies I could put in my new school bag. As I get out of the dorm and go to school, I decide to find my locker, and I find it, but there's a problem: the big guy from earlier was there. He was standing at the locker that was near my locker. Could it be that his locker was near my locker? no wonkin way. There's no way I would be near this beast. As I waited for him to leave, I saw Gary and Jimmy walk past me and see me there. Gary said,

Gary: Oh, hello, Doug. Why are you standing there? Waiting for us?

Doug: No, I am actually waiting for this big guy to leave so I can put my stuff in my locker.

Gary then looked at the big guy and said,

Gary: Oh, this guy. The locker beside yours is Russell's locker. You know, the big ape who almost put you in the hospital.

Doug: So that guy name is Russell. Jeez, he's huge.

Gary: Yeah, he was.

Gary, then look at Jimmy.

Gary: Hey Jimmy, why don't you help your friend Doug here to remove his gorilla?

Jimmy: He's not my friend.

Gary: Well, he is now. Then help Doug remove him.

Jimmy: Fine.

Then Jimmy walked to Russell, and Russell confronted him with an angry look on his face.

Doug: Oh no, he's going to hurt him.

Gary: Just wait until you say that.

Then I saw Jimmy give his cash to Russell and then get noogie by him and leave.

Gary: Now you can put your stuff in.

Doug: Thank cheese…

Gary: Thank cheese? Is that a weird slang that nerds invented these days?

I ignored Gary, unlocked my locker with the right number, and put my stuff in the locker. As I finished, Gary wanted Jimmy to open Russell's locker to teach him a lesson.

Gary: C'mon! Let's break into it and steal something. That'll teach him.

Doug: Wait, you can't be serious!

Gary: I am serious, Doug. There are no prefects around.

Jimmy: I'll guess I'll do it then.

Doug: Jimmy, no. You'll get into trouble if someone sees you.

Jimmy ignored me and proceeded to open Russell's locker. Seconds later, he manages to unlock Russell's locker and steal a school cap.

Doug: Jimmy, you better put that back, or I'll tell-

Just then, a prefect came, and we saw what happened.

Prefect: Oh, you just made a serious mistake.

Jimmy: Better run.

Doug: What?!

Then I say a perfect chase after Gary, who was running in the opposite direction. Then I follow Jimmy, and he hides in a trash bin. When I saw the same prefect, I was so panicked that I decided to hide behind three students, pretending I was their friend, and I'm surprised that it worked because he just walked away. Then Jimmy got out of the trash bin, and I saw Gary again.

Gary: Hey, you two, this way.

Jimmy follows Gary, and so do I. Just as we kept following Gary to the front of the girl's toilet, we saw a chubby girl cry.

Chubby girl: Ahhh! NOOO!

Gary: Oh man! There's that weird chick Eunice. Let's have some fun with her!

Then Jimmy asks her what's going on.

Eunice: He took my chocolate… please get it back.

Doug: Oh, okay, then where is he?

Eunice pointed out which way the chocolate thief goes when we go there. Then, as we looked around, Gary spotted a chocolate thief inside the boys toilet, and it's none other than Constantinos, my roommate from earlier.

Gary: Him again.

Doug: Wait, Constantinos stole that girl's chocolate?

Gary: It seems like it.

Gary looked at Jimmy and said,

Gary: Show what you're made of, Jimmy.

Jimmy: Okay.

Then I stopped, Jimmy.

Doug: Wait, can't we just let Perfect handle this instead?

Jimmy rolled his eyes and ignored me. I saw Jimmy walk towards Constantinos and proceed to humiliate him. Oh jeez!

Constantinos: Whoa! Take the stupid chocolate.

Then Jimmy managed to get chocolate out of Constantinos' hand as he ran away.

Constantinos: Is that what makes you big and strong?

As Constantinos ran, Jimmy got out of the boys toilet with Eunice's chocolate in his hand. Then we go back to where Eunice was, and Jimmy gives back her chocolate, making her delighted.

Eunice: Thanks… uhm… wanna make out?

Then Eunice and Jimmy make out, which makes me feel disgusted. As they finished making out, Gary found this amusement

Gary: You actually kissed her?

Doug: Kind of gross.

Gary: Yeah, whatever. Let's go.

As we walked, we saw a skinny-looking nerd, whose height was the same as mine, standing there, looking very irritating. Gary looked at me and said,

Gary: Hey Doug, there's that loser nerd Bucky. Go see what his problem is.

Doug: Oh, his name is Bucky, I see. I still remember my old classmate, Bucky Hensletter.

Then I walked toward Bucky and asked him what was wrong.

Doug: Umm… Hey, is there anything I can do to help you?

Bucky: Someone stole my one-eyed elf, and I need him for tonight's game!

Bucky's response made me think, Why am I dragging myself into this school?

Doug: Oh, umm…

Bucky: Could you get him back for me?

Doug: I don't know…

Bucky: I'll give you five bucks if you get it back for me!

When I heard that, I agreed.

Doug: Okay, I will get it back for you.

Bucky: That's great. Thanks, whoever you are.

Doug: Names Douglas Hawkins but called me Doug.

Bucky: Okay, Doug. I'll stay here while you search for my one-eyed elf.

Doug: Okay, where did the thief run?

Bucky: Well, I remember he was running to the geography class.

Doug: I see. I'll see if I can find it.

Then I walk away and go to Gary and Jimmy.

Doug: He wanted me to find his one-eyed elf, whatever that is.

Gary: I think that was a character from Grottos and Gremlins.

Doug: Grottos and Gremlins?

Gary: It's a role-playing game for nerds. You will get used to that.

Doug: All he said was that the thief was in front of the geography class. Do you know where the geography class is, Gary?

Gary, I can show you where it is.

Then me and Jimmy followed Gary to the front of the geography class, but nobody was there. Then I decided to search everywhere to see if the thief left one-eyed elf behind. Seconds later, I found it, and it was near the counter of the school clothing store that was closed.

Gary: I saw you find the one-eyed elf character, huh?

Doug: Yeah, I better return this to Bucky.

Then we go back to where Bucky was, and I give back his one-eyed elf character.

Doug: Here, I think this is the one-eyed elf character.

Bucky: Thanks! Now I'll be able to get level 6 and max out my mining skill!

Then Bucky gave me 5 bucks as he promised and left; Gary looked at me and Jimmy.

Gary: Let's go to the caf, I'll show you guys who's who.

Then we follow Gary, who is heading to the cafeteria. As we reach the cafeteria,

Gary: Feeding time at the zoo… OK, here's the deal…

Gary pointed at the left side and it showed three nerdy students playing role-playing game.

Gary: Over there, we got the nerds, Of course they're complete social outcasts.

Jimmy: They look pretty harmless.

Gary: They're actually sneaky bastards. Their turf is the library.

Then Gary looked at me and said,

Gary: Hey Doug, since you're a nerd, I think you should join the nerd clique.

Doug: Umm, me? Well, I wanted to, but not now because I'm still new here.

Gary: Well, that's up to you to decide.

Then Gary pointed at the other group.

Gary: And those are the preps. They're all money and condescending attitudes.

Doug: You mean that they're rich kids?

Gary: Yes, indeed, Hawkins.

Jimmy: Yeah, massively inbred and completely brainless.

Doug: Jimmy!

Gary: Very observant, Jimmy boy.

I just facepalmed in disbelief. Then Gary pointed to another group: the three guys who were wearing black leather jackets.

Gary: Now over there are the greasers…

Doug: Greasers?

Gary: Yeah, they think they're tough.

Jimmy: Or at least try to look tough.

Gary: Wouldn't advise messing with them… at least not yet. They hang by the autoshop.

Doug: They kind of look like a group of bikers.

Gary: They are, but they only ride bicycles.

Doug: Oh, that makes sense, I guess.

Then Gary showed us the last group, and it was a trio of guys who were playing arm wrestling.

Gary: And last but not least: the jocks. These guys rule the school. Definitely avoid them.

Doug: I'll avoid them, though.

Gary: You better be. Because they hate your own kind.

Doug: My kind?

Gary: They hate nerds.

Doug: Oh, okay. I'll stay away from them from now on.

Jimmy: Whatever, I'm not afraid of some dumb 'roid monkeys.

Gary: You'll learn.

Then the bell rang.

Gary: C'mon. Let's go.

After the bell rings, the three of us leave the cafeteria but are told by Edward, another prefect, to get to class. Jimmy and I head towards the chemistry classroom.

Doug: Oh, it seems like we are in the same class.

Jimmy: I guess we had the same schedule because we're newbies. Let's get inside.

Doug: Okay.

Then we entered the chemistry room.
