Chapter Text
Now I’m not one who dwells on the past too much unless it’s relevant to the situation at hand, and currently I’m finding myself in one of those situations right now.
“And Jimmy I don’t want to make this situation any worse than it already is, so I advise you and Gary to stay at least three people apart, and if you ever find yourself in a situation were you too are closer than that. It’d be a smart decision to move away.” Mr Crabblesnitch said, obviously me feeling like I’ve heard the same speech ever since the news got out Gary came back rolled my eyes. Like I said the past doesn’t normally prevail the present, and it wasn’t going to change now. Plus it's been a year since he was at this school. I believe whole-heartedly that he is a changed man . boy. Plus he was going to have a ordelly walking with him for the first few weeks or more, so him getting up to his past antics would be impossible. Unless he wants to get sent back to happy volts with no probation.
When I exited the office the whole school were in hysterics, the cliques were all taking Gary’s presence as a threat. The nerds were running to the library, I presume they were going to get their weapons or improve on them. The jocks ran to the gym, they were trying to get their strength up in case if Gary came to attack one of them (ridiculous as if Gary would get his hands dirty, but you know they think with their muscles not their head). The preps were going to lock themselves in their clubhouse, or just hire body guards well that’s what Gord suggested anyway.
The other cliques stayed their, presumably discussing their plan if Gary were to antagonise
them, but their was a silent agreement between every student in Bullsworth and it was that we were going to let Gary have as much space as he needs, well I say a silent agreement but it was pretty vocal and also Mr Crabblesnitch had announced the game plan over the speakers while we were all eating dinner.
“Hey, Jimmy how’re you holding up?” Pete asked sitting down next to me.
This was the fiftieth person who’s asked me that or a variation (e.g Jimmy what’re going to do about Gary, can you help us fend off Gary, how are you and Gary going to react seeing each other). It seriously was never that deep. It’s not like Gary’s going to purposely target them, and they act like if I’m going to see Gary and he sees me we’re immediately going to steam from our ears and rip each-other apart, plus everyone is overreacting. I may not know what happened between the school and Gary whilst I didn’t attend, but seriously.
“Yea, fine.” I replied, I sounded very irritated.
“You sound very irritated, are you sure you’re fine?” Pete asked.
“Pete, you’re about the fiftieth person who’s asked me that and I swear to fucking god if one more person complains about Gary I’m going to fucking lose it.” I say, louder than I realise because all the students are now facing this way, and if not they were definitely eavesdropping.
“It’s our right to be concerned!” I heard Algie yell, everyone stares at him and he seems to shrink on the spot, I wonder how hard he was trying not to pee himself.
“Why?” I ask.
“Because he’s a sociopath Jimmy, he could kill anyone of us, hell he could attempt to kill you again since you got him expelled and sent to happy volts!” Ted exclaimed, and the rest of the bullies hummed in unison.
“Drama queens.” I muttered under my breath, and I could hear Pete laugh.
“What’re laughing at Pete.” One of the bullies called out.
“Nothing.” He replied.
I really have to get all of these people under control because if I don’t they’re going to loose their minds at the thought of Gary even looking their way.
