The back of a scrappy postcard showing LA at night
Hey Pete,
If you think Bullworth is a dump, try going to LA with my mom. It’s actually worse! Didn’t think that was possible. I think I’ll get homesick for Bullworth if I have to spend one more day with my new stepdad.

Letter to Happy Volts
Dear Gary,
How are you? Okay, I know that’s a stupid question, but I don’t know what else to ask.
I guess you wouldn’t want to talk about your therapy. But I hope you’re taking your medication. You were always better off when you took it. Just more you. I don’t know if you get what I mean, but the medication did you well.
Without you, summer vacation is really boring. Sometimes I spend time with Zoe; she’s alone too. Jimmy is in LA, but I guess you don’t want to talk about him.
I’m not sure if you even want me to write you, you never make the first move, but please write back. I just want to know you’re alright. Or at least getting better.
Pete

A note left in Glass Jaw Boxing Club
Justin has been absent from boxing recently and has been seen swimming instead. You have to make sure that he knows he is a prep, not a jock. Just because I finished school does not mean you can let the preps get in such a bad condition.

A letter attached with a check of substantial amount
Dr. Crabblesnitch,
I heard you were in desperate need of a new gymnasium as well as a new indoor swimming pool. The Smith family is happy to donate the renovation costs.
Wishing you wonderful summer holidays.
Sincerely,
Mr. Smith.

A note on Constantinos desk between eight similar notes
Not sure what’s worse: school or no school. At least there are no teachers on vacation. But hey, only one more month and then they’re there again.

A birthday card decorated with dozens of glittery hearts
Happy Birthday Lola!
I love you!
Everything is forgiven.

Dr. Alexis Penn’s Notebook
Note on Gary Smith’s medical record and psychological file
Patient: Gary Smith
Transferred from Dr. Bambillo
Currently admitted to Happy Volts Asylum
Medical condition, according to the hospital files:
* nasal fracture (directed surgically)
* cuts in arms from shards (the shards were removed, the cuts were cleaned and sewn)
* broken cheekbone (directed surgically)
* bruises on knees, hips, elbows and shoulders (RICE)
* abrasions on the whole body, mostly on arms and face (cleaned)
* rib fractures on bottom left (stabilized)
* ankle fracture (stabilized)
* concussion (regularly checked)
* abdominal trauma [splenic injury] (directed surgically)
Presumed psychological issues based on Dr. Bambillo’s notes:
* ADD
* Paranoid Personality Disorder
* Narcissistic Personality Disorder
DO NOT USE HIS DIAGNOSES!
(Diagnosed psychopathy though the indicators were not even remotely present!)
Medical treatment:
* for the time being, it is necessary for him to heal his injuries. As long as he is on pain medication, there is not going to be any medication prescribed for his psychological state, just normal therapy sessions.
* afterwards, I’ll have to investigate his psychological state and find a solution that doesn’t require too much medication since he obviously does not intend to take it.

Fatty’s Diary
They are fighting again! I ate four doughnuts today. FOUR! And because mom thinks that I’m on the computer too much, I can’t even play G&G online! And dad screamed at her because she’s on the computer as much as me. And then they fought for 2 hours! They didn’t even stop at dinner! That’s even worse than purple nurples.

Notices taped on street lamps all over Bullworth
A coyote was seen in the woods of Bullworth. Please stay away from it. And NO, it is NOT a werewolf!
