Tom Gurney

"The thing is, I trust them all too much. I don't know why!"

Character Description
Tom is a medium-sized Bully with dark brown hair and dark blue eyes. He speaks in a strong New York accent. Tom is the only bully who wears a t-shirt under his school shirt. In the winter, he wears his white school shirt open with the sleeves rolled up over the top of a dark blue turtleneck, as well as fingerless black gloves, and a grey urban hat. He has pimples across his forehead and his most distinguishing feature is his permanent black right eye. In addition, he has a small scar that runs through his right eyebrow.

Characteristics
Despite being as much of a bully as the rest of the clique, Tom seems to be more mature than the others. Some of his dialogue indicates that doesn't enjoy being a bully as much as the rest of the Bullies and feels guilty about what he's done to others. It's also indicated that he cares about his friends quite a bit. Tom is also highly paranoid and says that he can't trust anyone, believing that everybody is out to get him and frequently claims that everyone picks on him, though he may be imagining it. Tom also is something of a conspiracist, and has his own beliefs regarding the origins of the issues he faces, from cold weather to "being hit up for all he has in the bank". Tom believes that if his fellow Bullies would "dig a little deeper", they might be able to find out what's really going on at Bullworth. This could imply that he is suspicious of Gary's schemes. It is also hinted at that Tom may be generally sad or depressed, but is in denial of it. He apparently steals panties for Mr. Burton, and hopes that he will get to keep a pair soon.
