          Jim woke up to a bright new day. He got out of bed with the worst hair he could possibly see and looked at his watch. 'It's 7 a.m. in the morning, that means I have plenty of time for me to get ready. He walked out of his bedroom only to be greeted by his roommate, sitting on the dining table while eating Reese's Puffs. 'Oh, morning Jim.' 'Morning Hyde, did you sleep well last night?' 'Yeah...... sorta.' he said while making his black coffee. 'Huh, and why's that?' he said with questioning eyes. 'Don't know, maybe because I dreamt that I was in a zombie apocalypse.' 'Dude, you have to stop reading those zombie apocalypse books and the incident happened 10 years and 6 months ago.' he said while face-palming himself. 'Sorry, maybe I kept on overthinking myself that there would be another apocalypse.' 'Whatever, let's just get ready for school.' 'Alrighty then .'

           Jim and Hyde ate their breakfast, showered, and walked out of their apartment. Jim having a weird triple mountain-pointed hairstyle while Hyde having a blazing white-type hairstyle. While they were walking along the pathway, Jim suddenly asked, 'Hey Hyde, do you think our hairstyles looked weird or funky?' Hyde replied, 'Come on Jim, we are in our fourteens, heck you are over 6 feet tall just like me yet you still think we are weird.' without any hesitation. 'Well, I guess you're not wrong since our school also allows our hair to be dyed.' he said while smiling. 'Alright then, you don't have to be embarrassed, our classmates also have dyed hair.' 'Ok, Ok, let's just quickly go to our school.' he said while still feeling a bit embarrassed.

             Eventually they made it to their school. It was a middle school. It was not too fancy nor too poor, just a decent and affordable middle school. The two teenager's parents even though they gave the school money for their education, they still want them to get a part - time job. 'You think that school will be better than last week?' Jim asked. 'Well, unless we get a dunk on the head with leftovers by a few bastard bullies, then I will assume it will probably not get worse.' Hyde replied. 'Yeah, you're right.' Jim said while laughing a bit under his breath.

                 When they entered the school, it was total chaos. Rubbish being thrown everywhere, the halls filled with dyed-hair teenagers and teenagers showing off their tattoos looking like they are total badasses but ending up being afraid of an innocent f - - king balloon. Their class was at the middle of the second hallway on the left-hand side. Good thing nobody in their class was rude and bullied other people unlike the class next door to them. The teacher, Mr. Timothy Raja(Mr. Tim) was their primary teacher and he teaches English. 'Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Today, we are going to be learning about Similes and Metaphors.' he said with a British accent. 'Is he trying to flirt with the girls?' Jim asked. 'Nah, this is just how he talks. We are used to it now.' Hyde replied.

2 Hours Later...

                    It was lunch time. Everyone ran down the stairs except for Jim and Hyde. They were talking about games such as FNAF and BTD. (Five Nights At Freddy's and Bloons Tower Defence) When they were walking through the hallways, they saw a bunch of bullies that were in the class next door, bullying what seems to be a male around our age. 'Give us your money and we'll let you go, COWARD!' all of them were laughing while the thirteen-ish male was weeping. At that point, Jim and Hyde knew what to do. Of course, Hyde, being the savaged one, standed behind them. 'Excuse me, gentlemen. It seems to me that you all are trying to get money from this person.' Hyde said while trying to keep his cool. 'So what? He needs to give us his money or else we will kick his ass.' one of the bullies said. 'I recommend you not to do so since this will be considered bullying and rude. 'So, it doesn't matter to you, get lost asshole.' they said while laughing. Out of nowhere, Hyde gave a fistful of agony and punched probably the leader right in the balls. The leader trembled and fell to the floor looking unconscious. Hyde then gives a 'I'm going to kill all of you' stare to the other bullies. They quickly ran away, leaving the leader behind. 'I thought those guys were tough, turns out they were f - - king cowards themselves.' he said to Jim. They quickly held the male up. 'You okay dude?' said Jim. 'Yeah, I'm fine.' the male replied. 'How would you like to become our friends?' said Hyde. 'Sure, thanks.' 'What's your name?' 'My name is Jace.'
