((Hello everyone! I'm back again. Got promoted at work so I've been hella busy, plus I've had insane writers block. I have this bad habit of getting absorbed in sequels to stories I am writing, completely forgetting that I need to finish the first story in order to publish a sequel. What I'm saying is yes, there's a sequel to this story. So I want to get this story done so I can start publishing the next one. I decided to do things a little differently this chapter. We need more Gary. Because what is Bully without the main antagonist? Anyway, thank you so much for reading, and I love you all! XOXO KimmyKimZombieQueen))

Winter came without warning. It happened right after the Thanksgiving break, which the three amigos spent at Hilly's house: due to the fact that Petey's parents had to take an emergency trip to Florida because his Grandmother was sick, and wouldn't have been able to bring him back to school once the break was over, and Jimmy's mom was still out on her year long cruise with her new husband. So naturally, Hilly had her best friends over for the holiday. And her Parents were more than thrilled to have them there. Their daughter finally had some friends, which was something they really wanted for her to have in her teenage years. So of course, her parents welcomed the boys with open arms. And as they all gathered 'round the table to partake in Thanksgiving dinner, the snow started to fall. The whole town was covered in a thick layer of snow by the time the holiday weekend, was over, and everything looked so beautiful covered in white. So calm and peaceful looking. And it was the only thing the students of Bullworth Academy enjoyed as they returned to school on Monday.

Meanwhile, there was one student who couldn't wait to get back on campus, probably even more than the entire Nerd clique.

It was Gary Smith. Gary was the one who was more than eager to get back to school.

Thanksgiving for him meant having to go back home for the anual Smith family Thanksgiving dinner. A time where most of his extended family came over to his house for the holiday weekend. Aunts, Uncles, cousins, his grandparents; all under one roof. And for most people, seeing their family would be so wonderful. But not for Gary. Gary absolutely loathed them. Every time he was at a family event, he felt like he was being judged by every single member of his family. The reason for that was because he was the only one in his family with so many things wrong with him mentally. Everyone else in the family was so...normal. And he detested it so much. And this time the holiday was even more unbearable because he was off his meds. His brain was going insane at every opportunity, and the only thing he could do was stay silent when he was around his family, and then keep himself locked up in his room when he wasn't.

The only thing that helped calm him down even a little was thinking about a certain blonde haired blue eyed vixen who always occupied his mind when he wasn't working on his plans of taking over the school.

Hilly...his Hilly. His beautiful, wonderful, utterly pure Hilly.

Everything about her came to mind when he thought about her. Her beautiful blue doe eyes, her warm smile, her enchanting laugh. Thinking about her was his small ray of sunshine in his chaotic, fucked up life he was living at the moment. Then again, it was his choice to take himself off of his meds and try to dominate the school in the first place. He was tired of being controlled by his medication. Even though no one knew he was off them in his household.

"Don't forget to take your medications Gary Honey" his mom would say every morning and every night. And when he heard it, he'd just growl lowly and go into his room to pretend to take them. But he'd just throw each pill away in the garbage. Truth be told, he honestly should have just taken them. Then the holidays would have at least been a little more bearable.

But...oh well...

Back at school, the news about Jimmy beating the ever loving crap out of all the Preps was already circling around campus. When it hit Gary's ears, the wheels in his mind started turning.

"If Hopkins took them down so fast, and without a problem, then that's one less clique leader to have to turn against him. Derby probably hates him, so that wont be hard at all when the time comes"he thought to himself after he had heard all this.

As usual, he tried to keep a low profile around campus, avoiding all the places he knew Jimmy went to frequently. So, for the moment, he hung out in the back of the library, resorting to getting some schoolwork done; because quite frankly, he had nothing better to do at the moment.

And in that Library is where he heard the most interesting gossip. Even though the library was supposed to be a place of silence, the high pitched, annoying voice of Christy Martin gossiping to her best friend Angie Ng echoed through the building. And what she was saying piqued Gary's interest. So he slowly put down his notebook and payed close attention to what she was saying.

"Angie, you will not believe what I heard from Pinky this morning. You know how Bif Taylor and that girl Hilly Rosewood were going out, or sort of a thing, or whatever?"

"You mean the girl who hangs around Jimmy Hopkins all the time? Yeah, I heard about that. Why? What did Pinky tell you?"

"Well, they're not a thing anymore. Pinky told me, that Derby told her, that Bif told him that he broke it off with her".

"What!? But, he was apparently crazy about her! I mean, I'm not complaining because now that means he's single, but what made him change his mind?"

"Well, what I heard is that she wasn't really into it or something like that. She hid the fact that they were seeing each other like a dirty little secret; as if someone was watching her and she was afraid of getting caught. He probably got tired of it and saved himself the trouble of getting into a relationship with her. Kind of stupid for her to even pass up the opportunity to be with him if you ask me."

"Yeah, that's true. I mean, he's tall, handsome, funny, and rich as hell. I'd kill for the opportunity to for him to even look at me the way he looked at her. She doesn't realize how lucky she was because those guys only go for rich girls...or Lola. But that's only because she puts out behind Johnny Vincent's back."

"Well, I'll tell you one thing. The only other guys she hangs out around are Jimmy Hopkins and Pete Kowolski, and I'm pretty sure she isn't interested in either of them. So whoever she chose over Bif must be pretty damn special. Because only an idiot would pass up dating him for someone else."

Gary paid attention to every single word that both girls said, and he felt his lips curl into a small smirk. What he just heard pleased him greatly. No, he had nothing to do with Bif breaking it off with Hilly, but it was just as sweet hearing they were no longer pursuing anything romantically. Hilly was his, and he'd be damned if another guy was going to have her to themselves. Gary was happy; order had been restored in his world for the moment.

He needed to see her, if only for a moment. He wanted to see her beautiful face. So, once he was sure he was alone in the library, he snuck out and went looking for her. It was five pm, and he figured that she'd be with Jimmy and Pete by now, watching tv in the boys dorm. So, he headed over there, went around the building and peeked in the window. And he was right. There was Jimmy and Pete playing darts, but Gary didn't care too much about them. He continued to scan the room until his eyes landed on her. There she was, curled up on the couch, her eyes fixated on the tv. She was clad in a blue Bullworth sweatshirt that was one size too big on her, black leggings, and a pair of chucks, with her long blonde hair up in a high ponytail. Even when she was dressed so casually, she was breathtaking. Gary couldn't take his eyes off of her.

In his own way, he loved this girl. She just didn't know it. And to be honest, neither did he.

He had to admit, he missed her a lot. He missed her company, her voice, her laugh, everything. There was a small part of him that figured he couldn't just give up his plans of dominating the school if it meant he could be around her again. But, he was already in too deep and and there was no turning back.

He continued to watch through the window as he saw Peanut Romano, Johnny Vincent's best friend walk in and confront Jimmy. The part of the window he was looking through was slightly open, so he took this opportunity to eavesdrop once more, trying to hear what everyone was saying.

"Jimmy Hopkins, right? My friend Johnny needs your help"

"Then tell your friend Johnny to come and ask for it"

"Nobody tells Johnny anything. Johnny Vincent does the telling"

"Well he doesn't tell me what to do! Now beat it Greaseball, you're causing an oil slick!"

"I said he needs your help man!"

"Do I look like a charity service?!"

"You're gonna pay for this!"

Gary kept silent, watching Peanut leave the dorm. He continued to listen carefully, wanting to know what Jimmy or Pete would say next. It was crucial for his plan; knowing everyone's next move before they even made them.

"What is wrong with this place? Everyone either needs help, wants to beat you up, or both" Jimmy said to Pete, turning back around to face him.

"Well, you know who Johnny Vincent is though, don't you?"

"No, and I don't care"

"He's head of the Greaser clique. Get friendly with him, and he can help you get to Gary"

"...Yeah, maybe. I'll tell you something Pete; this place blows"

"Tell me about it"

That's all Gary needed to hear. He felt his blood boil at the sound of Jimmy spewing words out of his mouth. What turned into just wanting to see Hilly, turned into so much more than that. Did that idiot Hopkins really think he could take him down? He honestly had no idea what Gary had in store for him, and now that he overheard their conversation, it was time to plan his next move. He watched Jimmy and Pete continue their dart game, while Hilly continued to watch her show. He was about to leave and plot out his next move, hearing everything he needed to.

It would have happened sooner, if he didn't accidentally make eye contact with Hilly...

He didn't really expect it. He figured that she was so into her show that she wouldn't look at the window. But he was wrong. Her eyes darted over at him for a split second, only to do a double take and lock eyes with him. They were both frozen; gazing at each other. She was in complete shock. She hadn't seen him in weeks, and now, ironically after Jimmy and Pete had been talking about him, there he was. She didn't know how to feel. and neither did he. Gary's heart thudded loudly, everything slowing down for him. It could only take one second for her to tell Jimmy he was outside, and then he was screwed. But then again, it could only take a second for him to run away from the window and get out of there before anything happened.

But she didn't. Because unbeknownst to him, Hilly had been wanting to see him too. She had missed him just as much as he missed her. And also he forgot a very important thing. She wasn't trying to get involved in the feud that was brewing between him and Jimmy. As hard as it was, she was trying to stay neutral.

So, she smiled at him, before tearing her eyes away and looking back at the tv. And god, did that make his heart melt. He pulled himself away from the window and took in a deep breath, before leaving the dorms. She was such a beautiful distraction, but now he needed to focus.

Besides, he was sure if he ran into her sometime soon, there would plenty of time to get distracted by her. And god, he couldn't wait to get distracted again.
