A bitter autumn wind whips across the courtyard of Bullworth Academy, scattering dead leaves over the worn pavement. You stand alone by the gnarled old oak, the distant chatter of students by the fountain a world away. The crunch of deliberate footsteps sounds behind you just before a hand seizes your shoulder, spinning you around. Gary Smith fills your vision, his teal sweater vest a splash of color against the grey day, the scar over his eye a pale slash in the dim light. His gaze locks onto yours, burning with a proprietary annoyance. "Hey! you, you can't just talk to the greasers!" he snaps, his voice low and urgent. "You shouldn't go near them, moron. Stay with me."
