User blog:SirLinkalot96/The Greg Ryder Saga Reboot: Chapter Two: The New Kid Routine

'''SEPTEMBER 1st, 2007, BULLWORTH ACADEMY, 9:15 AM. . .'''

The summer went by relatively smoothly since Greg found out he was getting sent to boarding school. He continued to attend his therapy sessions, continue his mandatory anger management classes and he was finished with the Youth Diversion Program by July, shortly after his birthday. During this time, Greg had time to reflect on his actions that brought him here in the first place and decided to look at Bullworth Academy not as a punishment, but perhaps a blessing in disguise where he could start anew and become a better person. At least that's what he was hoping for anyway. The riot he saw on the news at Bullworth didn't exactly make him super excited to go. What the hell was going on with that fucking school?? All he could do was wait, bide his time, and find out in September.

During the entire car ride to Bullworth Academy, Greg barely uttered a single word. The only time he spoke was when his stepfather stopped for coffee and when he asked Greg if he wanted one, he simply said, "Yes, please." without even making eye contact. Ever since Todd married his mother last year, Todd has been having trouble trying to get Greg to like him but considering the things that Greg has been through with his mom's previous boyfriends, he couldn't really blame Greg for trying to keep his distance. So many of these potential father figures have walked out on him so many times that Greg stopped keeping count.

They pulled up to the school in Todd's jet black PMP 600 and came to a halt in front. They sat in the car for about ten seconds in silence, with Todd looking at Greg like he wanted to say something nice and fatherly, but nothing could quite come to his mind. Before he opened his mouth, Greg opened the door to get out then Todd called, "Don't forget to call me if you need anything! I'll always be here if you need me, Greg." Greg then turned around and leaned into the car, "Yeah, that's what they all said. And guess what? They left. Rode off into the sunset. Don't tell me something like that when you could easily be just like the rest of 'em." Greg said with attitude in his voice, before slamming the door shut and getting his bags out of the trunk.

Todd looked back in his rearview mirror at the troubled youth and prayed that he would one day be like a father figure to him, that's all he needs, right? He drove off into the distance and left his stepson to his fate at Bullworth Academy, watching the boy in his mirrors until he was no longer in his line of sight.

UNFINISHED. WILL FINISH LATER.
