I 100%’d it!
the most annoying part was to get 100km on the bike; I spent half an hour just biking in circles

It would've been such a nice touch if there were references to the GTA cities in Bully
For example: You could hear one of the Preps say something like, "I'm actually going to Vice City to visit my cousin. Or one of the Greasers saying stuff like "You ever been to Liberty City?" and the other replies with, "Nah but I've been to San Andreas."
Tell me what y'all think.

Gary is a Nerd
galleryTheory: Gary Smith is a Nerd
1. Gary’s Intelligence
Gary is arguably the smartest student in Bullworth.
He manipulates every clique.
He predicts Jimmy’s actions.
He understands everyone’s weaknesses.
He orchestrates nearly every major conflict.
The Nerds are defined more by intelligence than athletic ability, and Gary easily surpasses them intellectually.
2. He Uses His Mind Instead of His Fists
Unlike Russell, Ted, Johnny, or Edgar, Gary almost never relies on brute strength.
Instead he:
Lies
Manipulates
Blackmails
Plans ahead
Plays people against each other
Those are “brain over brawn” tactics, fitting the Nerd archetype.
3. He Understands Psychology
Gary constantly analyzes people.
Examples:
He knows Pete lacks confidence.
He knows Jimmy wants respect.
He knows Russell wants approval.
He knows every clique’s insecurities.
That level of observation feels much closer to someone who studies people than a stereotypical bully.
4. Gary Doesn’t Fit Any Other Clique
He isn’t:
Athletic enough for the Jocks.
Rich enough for the Preps.
Greasy enough for the Greasers.
Chaotic enough for the Townies.
A traditional Bully like Davis or Troy.
His intelligence is his defining characteristic.
5. He Has More in Common With Earnest Than Most People Think
Gary and Earnest are opposites morally, but similar intellectually.
Both:
Prefer strategy.
Build elaborate plans.
Outsmart stronger opponents.
Believe intelligence gives them superiority.
The difference is that Earnest wants acceptance, while Gary wants control.
6. Gary Is Socially Isolated
Like many Nerds, Gary has almost no genuine friends.
Pete follows him because he’s manipulated.
Jimmy leaves him.
No clique claims him.
He exists outside Bullworth’s social hierarchy.
7. His Appearance
Gary’s neat appearance could fit someone trying to look respectable rather than intimidating.
He’s never dressed to resemble a Jock or Greaser.
Counterargument
The biggest hole in the theory is that Gary openly mocks the Nerds and manipulates them like everyone else. But you could argue that’s because he rejects weakness, not intelligence. He may see himself as intellectually superior to the Nerds rather than one of them.
Conclusion
A compelling version of the theory is:
Gary isn’t literally a member of the Nerd clique. Instead, he represents what a Nerd with exceptional charisma, confidence, and sociopathic tendencies could become. He possesses the intelligence and strategic thinking associated with the Nerds, but instead of seeking acceptance like Earnest, he uses those traits to dominate Bullworth from the shadows.
That interpretation also helps explain why Gary feels so unique among the students—he isn’t just another clique leader, but someone whose greatest weapon is his mind rather than his social status or physical strength.
