   Summary

   (Bully College AU)

   The last person Jimmy expects to see after seven years is Gary Smith, local psychopath and his former friend and enemy. The guy even has the nerve to just start going to the same college as him. But has Gary really changed for the better? Old wounds will open up and new issues will arise, tensions will be high and new emotions will bloom. Will Jimmy and Gary be able to try for friendship again? Will it become something more?
