One name entered Dan's head: Ben Darry. He grinned and got dressed in his old clothes from the previous day, which had been just as hot and sweaty as this day was about to be.
Bringing his old socks up to his face and taking a deep sniff, Dan cringed but nodded in approval before slipping them on his size 10 feet. Dan already had a few ideas for Ben, who was Dan and his best friend Paul's most hated and feared enemy.
Ben would frequently pick on Dan and Paul simply because of their interests in videogames and things like Dungeons and Dragons. It didn't help that most of the school staff turned a blind eye, including the principal Mr. Barron. Dan scowled as he pulled on a pit stained t-shirt, Keith Barron would definitely be shrunk sometime in the near future.
It was still quite early, the school bus wouldn't be here for at least another half hour or so...Dan might as well get some breakfast.
Some time later the school bus picked Dan up in front of his house, Dan stepped inside and sat next to Paul. "Whaddya look so happy for?" Paul inquired curiously.
Dan giggled, "Let's just say things are looking better than they have for us in awhile..." he said cryptically.
Paul sniffed the air and teasingly shoved Dan's shoulder, "Dude is that you I'm smellin'?"
Dan grinned smugly, "Yup, same clothes from yesterday..."
"Dude, gross! Why?" Paul laughed.
"It's a secret..." Dan chuckled.
When the bus arrived at school, Dan made it a point to part ways with Paul and seek out Ben Darry..who of course was picking on someone near the lockers.
"Hey, Ben!" Dan exclaimed as Darry turned and spotted him..just as he was shoving some poor kid into the locker.
"What do YOU want, nerd?! I'm busy!" Ben snapped.
"I've got something to show you." Dan said with a lick of his lips. "Oh yeah? Hmph, this better be good or I'll pound you!" Ben growled as he followed Dan into the boys restroom.
Thankfully it was deserted and nobody else had seen them enter or talk to one another...perfect.
"Well? What do you-" Ben said impatiently...until a bright light shot out of Dan's fingertips and he suddenly found himself looking face to face with Dan's ratty old sneakers.
Dan put his hands on his hips and grinned in smug superiority down at his prey. Ben looked up and saw Dan looming over him, he instantly began to scream bloody murder as Dan snatched him up and took him in to one of the stalls.
