Bl Gary Smith •́⁠ ⁠ ⁠‿⁠ ⁠,⁠•̀

Social life at Bullworth Academy is divided into several factions or "clicks." Each group has its own zone on campus, its own style of dress, and its own fighting style.

The Bullies They are the game's primary antagonists. They don't have a clearly defined leader like other groups (although Russell Northrop is the strongest), and they focus on bullying the weaker students. Clothing: They wear the school uniform, but in a careless manner (shirts untucked). Location: Usually near the parking lot and restrooms. 2. The Nerds They are the smartest and physically weakest students. Their leader is Earnest Jones. They specialize in long-range weapons like potato launchers and stink bombs. Clothing: Green sweaters with the astronomy logo. Location: The library and the observatory area. 3. The Macarras (Preppies) They're the rich, arrogant kids at school. Their leader is Darby Harrington. Their fighting style is based on technical boxing. Clothing: Navy blue knitted vests from the brand "Aquaberry". Location: Harrington House (his own mansion within the campus) and the boxing gym in the village. 4. The Greasers Inspired by the aesthetic of the 1950s (Grease). They are interested in mechanics and cars. Their leader is Johnny Vincent. Clothing: Black leather jackets, jeans and lots of hairspray. Location: The school's mechanics workshop and the New Coventry area. 5. The Musclemen / Jocks They are the athletes and football players. They are the strongest physically and the most popular. Their leader is Ted Thompson. Clothing: White and blue varsity jackets. Location: The gym, the football field and the changing rooms. 6. The Bad Boys / Townies This group doesn't belong to the school; they're young people who live in the city and hate the students at Bullworth. Their leader is Edgar Munsen. Clothing: Worn street clothes, industrial or gothic style.

Prefects, like Seth or Edward, are basically badge-wearing thugs who enjoy applying submission holds to anyone who runs through the corridors or uses a fire extinguisher for fun. 4. Life Outside the Walls When you manage to escape the campus to Bullworth Town or New Coventry, the atmosphere changes but the danger remains. You have to avoid the Townies, the local kids who couldn't get into school and who hold a deep grudge against anyone wearing the uniform. Leisure is limited to arcade machines, the abandoned amusement park, or trying to buy something at the "Yum Yum Market" without a policeman confiscating your slingshot. 5. The Curfew and Loneliness At 11:00 PM, the school becomes a grim place. The lights go out and the curfew is strict. If you're found out of bed at that hour, the pursuit will be relentless. It's in that moment, in the darkness of the dormitories, that you realize that at Bullworth you're truly alone, unless you have someone you can trust.

7. The Non-Affiliated (No-factions) They are students who don't belong to any specific group. Jimmy Hopkins (at the beginning) and characters like Pete Kowalski or the girls (like Zoe or Beatrice) fall into this category.

Life at Bullworth Academy isn't like a typical boarding school; it's a daily struggle for survival. If you're not the one striking, you're probably the one getting struck. It's a rigid ecosystem where status is everything, and the adults, for the most part, either look the other way or are part of the problem. Here's a description of what a typical day is like in the life of an average student in this place:

1. The Iron Routine (and Bells) The day begins with the shrill ringing of the bell at 8:00 AM. There's no time for subtlety. If you're not in class by 9:00 AM, the prefects (older students with authority and yellow uniforms) will start chasing you like you're a career criminal. Classes: They're a mix of boredom and danger. In Chemistry you might end up blowing something up, in Gym they'll throw balls at your face, and in Workshop you'll be surrounded by rusty tools. The Punishment: If you skip classes, the punishment is usually community service: mowing the lawn in the sun or shoveling snow in winter.
2. The Social Map: "Watch where you walk" Walking through the corridors of Bullworth is like crossing a minefield. Every corner belongs to someone. The Library: It's nerd territory. If you go in there, be prepared to hear role-playing game theories or get shot with a potato launcher if they don't like you. Harrington House: It's the preppy private club. If your shoes don't cost more than a family's rent, they'll look at you with disgust before even trying to box you. The Workshop: It smells of grease and gasoline. It's home of the Greasers. If you look too closely at someone's girlfriend, they'll chase you on their bikes all over campus. The Gym: Where the Jocks reign. They're the biggest and fastest; their favorite pastime is shoving the freshmen into the lockers.
3. The Corrupt Authority The teachers aren't your friends. The headmaster, Dr. Crabblesnitch, is more concerned with the school's reputation than the students' well-being.

Gary and Jimmy become friends during the mission "Welcome to Bullworth," in which Gary introduces Jimmy to the school and its four factions. Gary tells Jimmy his plan to take control of Bullworth Academy, and the two, occasionally with Pete, work together, though Gary frequently bullies Pete and Jimmy has no desire to run Bullworth. However, Gary stops taking his medication and becomes increasingly paranoid, believing Jimmy is plotting against him. Gary Smith is best friends with Jimmy Hopkins and Pete Kowalski.

Gary has a very bad reputation among the students at the school and even among the school staff.

Gary is a boy who is 1.70 meters tall, but a little thinner, though with a slightly defined physique. He has prominent pectoral muscles, visible veins, and a slightly broad back, which gives his waist a defined waistline. Gary has slender thighs and neat, clean nails. He has brown hair with a low fade and a left part, almond-shaped eyes with brown irises, and a noticeable scar above his right eye. He wears a unique teal Bullworth sleeveless vest over a gray shirt and gray school trousers. He wears a silver watch on his left wrist and a brown leather bracelet on his right.

Gary has no body hair; he usually shaves, finding hair unhygienic.

Pete Kowalski and Gary Smith's relationship before Gary stopped taking his medication was one of affection, mutual support, and playful teasing from Gary toward a vulnerable Pete, whom Gary constantly teased for his effeminate personality. Gary often went too far with his words, hurting Pete, but he quickly apologized, making amends in some way. Pete is intelligent and a good advisor to Gary, revealing a loyal dynamic between two very different people with shared interests.

Gary Smith's relationship with Pete Kowalski is difficult now that Gary has stopped taking his medication. Gary often hits Pete due to his mental instability; he feels neither remorse nor guilt at the time. He is usually aggressive and hurtful with his words towards Petey, but he tries to control himself, even managing to reason at times. He feels guilty for hurting his best friend and tries to be affectionate and loyal like before... But Gary obviously can't, and he ends up acting unsympathetic and mocking towards Petey, even though it affects them both.

Pete tries to reason with Gary, attempting to convince him to start taking his medication again. He doesn't want to lose Gary, his best friend, because of his behavior, clinging to the idea that he can change him. Pete can succeed, through effort and dedication, even with tears and sacrifices.

His body language reflects this arrogance, walking with a confident swagger and casting defiant glances at those around him. Furthermore, Gary is impatient and prone to outbursts of anger when things don't go according to plan. Gary is obsessed with power and control. He enjoys sowing chaos and discord, especially among the gangs at Bullworth Academy, demonstrating his desire to dominate and manipulate everyone around him. He also enjoys feeling intellectually and emotionally superior, always looking for ways to humiliate or harm others. Overall, he doesn't seem to have any common interests for someone his age, such as sports or hobbies.

According to Algernon, he's a sociopath; according to Pinky, he enjoys torturing people. Gary suffers from ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). He's narcissistic and suffers from paranoia. He's a patient of Dr. Bambillo. His only best friends are Pete and Jimmy.

Gary has a very bad reputation among the students and even the staff. Algie describes him as a sociopath, Pinky claims he enjoys torturing people, and Mr. Galloway states in the conversational dialogue of Chapter 5 that he saw Gary in the staff office and that "he can't be up to any good." Gary admits to having ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and also displays traits of narcissism and paranoia, often imagining he is in charge of a vast empire. He was on medication for his behavior but stopped taking it around Halloween. He has also been a patient of Dr. Bambillo. Despite being mentally unstable, he is very observant and tells Jimmy that "nothing gets past him." However, he views most people as either tools to be used or enemies to be crushed. He often calls people "friend," regardless of whether he is being friendly or hostile toward them. His favorite insult is "idiot." Gary proves to be incredibly manipulative with other students and adults, and very intelligent, something he constantly reminds others of due to his arrogance and vanity.

He tends to call people "friend," regardless of whether they are friendly or hostile. His favorite insult is "scum."

Gary is extremely manipulative, Machiavellian, and egocentric. He's a sociopath who enjoys stirring up conflict and exploiting others' weaknesses to achieve his own goals. His personality is characterized by a lack of remorse and a tendency to betray those around him. He's intelligent and charismatic, capable of using his persuasive skills to influence others. At the same time, Gary is paranoid, believing that everyone is against him or that he needs to protect himself from a conspiracy. He has a cynical and provocative nature. Gary enjoys intimidating others, always with a disdainful attitude.
