What if Jimmy
were a prep but he hates them for the snotty, douchey image they project?! A "you are what you hate" kinda thing.
Okay, so I don't really consider him a prep but Mattsy you did bring up something that I'd never thought about before, what with Jimmy's mother affording to go on a cruise, having had numerous men in her life (though their wealth isn't known), and be able to send her son to a private school.
I guess the thing is we don't know just how well off Jimmy and his mother is, but I personally can't picture them having hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions, of dollars like the preppies do.
As for the other groups...
► Greasers I'll agree I can't find a common connection with.
► Townies... well, Jim
was expelled and out of school for like, a day
But yeah, no, can't really predict if he actually finishes school or not... it honestly could go either way, I think. On one hand, he's good/decent enough in class, on the other, he's been in and out of school so many times, whose to say his mother won't just give up and allow him to drop out (and likewise, who is to say she
wouldn't allow that)?
► Bullies no, because the bullies in the game aren't really... bullies. Compared to rest of the groups in the game, these guys have no plot relevance and don't give a shit about participating in all the nonsense happening around them (see: Complete Mayhem). You could argue they bully nerds and non-cliques, but so does everyone else.
► Jocks ehhh. I don't recall Jimmy being as super into sports as these guys but y'know... he's got incredible stamina and strength lol
► Nerds sure. "But Hayley, Jimmy doesn't wear glasses and have a keen interest in Magic The Gathering!"
And yeah. You're right. But both are aggressive backstabbing assholes for no good reason.
→ Jimmy helps the nerds out countless times and then they give him the cold shoulder for no reason.
→ Jimmy works on building trust with the Greasers only to turn on them because Derby says to.
It's stupid.Honestly, non-clique fits the best but... like I
poorly said, Jimmy's in a class of his own that doesn't fit any of the others. And to be honest, I don't think he even gives a shit about being a part of any of them.
At least that would explain not being able to join any hahaHA :'|
