A few bored kids in America soon find out that life isn't as boring as it seems.
Introduction

Tiger Tiger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

The class of 2020 stared up at the digital clock hanging on the wall it's numbers were brightly illuminated with a red glow, 3:04, everyone was jittery and ready to book it out of the history classroom, where the teacher was currently talking about the seven year war, but nobody was listening, *BEEP* everyone got up at once and walked/sprinted towards the door not paying any heed to the boy who was sitting on the floor, "Hey, Please, Come on." Within seconds all of the kids items were scattered onto the hallway floor outside, his book, his binder (along with all of its paper), and his case of pencils which had his name on it, Comet.
Comet looked up at his teacher who didn't seem to notice, (or as Comet thought he just didn't care) Comet then got up put on his jacket and walked outside to get his stuff, he swiftly collected them and left towards his locker but before he could get to it he saw it blocked by those he hated, a gaggle of bullys made up of four of the dumbest people Comet has ever met, James, Sylus, Morgan, and Wyatt, James is a Redneck who doesn't understand how to read but somehow still picks on people, he was even dumb enough to try and fight a kid in high school, (that didn't end well for him), Sylus is a kid who's got roughly the same IQ as an ape and the weight to match one as well and no that weight is not in muscle, Morgan who had a head that matched an ice cream cone and glasses that didn't help his eyes because they didn't have anymore lenses, and then Wyatt a small kid who joined the group for pure survival since he knew that he couldn't fight or intimidate,
"Well look who we have here, it's space boy." Morgan said addressing the others, Comet tried to walk around the bullys while hiding his face underneath his hood, "oh no buddy youre not going anywhere." Comet looked up at them all standing in front of him, "we heard that you were the one who rated on James." Comet tried again to walk around him but this time James seized him by the collar of his shirt and punched him hard in the face, Comet fell backwards onto the floor and got kicked in the gut by Sylus, "don't mess with us again star boy." The bullys then walked away, after a minute Comet finally got up and tryd to open his locker, once, twice, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, Comet finally got his locker open and got out his backpack and put away his items but then as Comet went to leave he was stopped by Lakyn, she was the same age as him but she was smaller and skinnier with pig tails that swayed in every direction, and she did what she did every day, ask him thousands of questions he's already answered, Comet finally put in his earbuds and listened to classical rock on his mixtape, he walked through the church parking lot, he walked through a kids park, he walked through the neighborhood and finally got to his house

Comet heard a loud crash that startled him awake, "hello?" Comet asked walking out into the hallway
