Fiery Inspiration

It was a rainy Friday afternoon. Kieran Blaze was in the Year 8 class at school with his teacher, Miss Patricia Webster. He was currently taking an English Test. Kieran was twelve years of age, sporting messy brown hair and blue eyes. He was dressed in a plain green t-shirt, blue denim jeans, and white trainers. He had his eyes down, and his pen was merrily writing away at the exam paper.
Across the school, Alexander Carson was currently in math class in Year 10 with his teacher, Jacob Mosquera. He was doing his work, but he also helped others who needed it, since he was very talented at it. He had very dark hair and dark brown eyes. Alex liked to wear his black sweatshirt and black sweatpants since he practiced jogging. He also wore his dark grey running shoes which were his favourite.
Alex couldn't help but look out the window at the rain pouring from time to time, but he quickly got back to his work. Kieran on the other hand was so focused on his work that he didn't take any notice to the weather.
At the stroke of 3:10, the school bell went. Everybody put their stationery down, and went to the front of the class to hand their papers into the teacher for marking.
Everybody then went out into the corridors to get their things and head home. Kieran politely spoke with some of his friends in the corridor when he could, and as he headed to his locker, he bumped into Alex. Alex was the best friend that he had, having gotten to know him the most. They had neighbouring lockers.
"Hey Alex."
Alex looked up and saw Kieran. "Oh hey Kieran, how was your day?"
"It was great. I really think i've passed my English test with flying colours. So how did you get on?"
"Oh well you know, just working on some algebra stuff in the class. Piece of cake really."
"I hope my artwork skills have improved enough today to start drawing my own comic. I've been practicing in art class to draw more professionally."
"Wait, did you say comic?! Awesome! What is it about? Superheroes? Scary stuff?"
"I'm yet to decide. I've been planning it for quite some time, but I still need to get inspiration from somewhere or someone."
"Well I love comics, but what should it be about...well, that's up to you."
Kieran put his bag on his back. "Well, I'd better get home. I just hope I won't get too wet in this pouring rain."
Kieran headed out of the school, making a jog through the rain for two miles to get home. ~ ~ ~
Alex lived on the same street as Kieran, but down the other end of it. Neither of them were yet aware that they lived close to one another.
As Kieran entered his home, he put his bag next to the radiator to dry, having been soaked from the rain. He then went straight upstairs to his room, grabbed a towel to dry his face, and turned on the dehumidifier.
Kieran would always have a rest after school before dinnertime. As he laid on his bed, his feet would initially dangle over the end. He kicked his trainers off of his feet, revealing that he wasn't wearing socks. Kieran didn't ever feel comfortable wearing socks. He then crawled over to put his entire body on the bed, his head on the pillow, and got his eyes shut for an hour.
Alexon the other hand didn't even bother to dry himself, as his clothes were designed to dry quickly. He did however put his bag to dry against the radiator. Alex didn't like to sleep after school, as he considered it a waste of time; he just liked to take a very good book and read it with some hot chocolate. If he wasn't reading, then he was on the internet reading stories on Fanfiction, Deviantart, or Archive of our own. He read mostly about transformation, as he was fascinated by the idea of people changing into something out of reality.
