Phantasm
Sam is your typical 17-year-old high school bully. He has a group of friends who bullies for a living and is in a relationship with the hottest girl in school. One day, he met a strange boy named "Aaron", an 11th grader who wears enormous glasses and brings big books wherever he went. Plus, he shivers in fear (literally) when he is within Sam's perimeters that makes him the best client in Sam's bullying business.
