How the Characters Fit the Story
Gary befriends Jimmy on day one, then betrays him by sending him to fight Russell. From then on, Gary works behind the scenes: he turns the Preppies against Jimmy, warns Johnny Vincent about Jimmy and Lola, and finally recruits the Townies to wreck the school and get Jimmy expelled. Pete and Zoe stay on Jimmy's side, and the story ends with Gary expelled and Pete made head boy. The full plot is on our Bully story missions page.
