The indolent boy
There was once an indolent boy named Jack. Jack’s somniloquism always worried his parents. Jack was in middle school and was 14 years old. He lived in the USA. He had no friends in his school or near his house. Jack was indolent because he always got bullied by two teenagers in his school, Kris and Charles. This was a quotidian thing, and Jack wouldn't do anything to stop them. It would be a cold day in July when Kris and Charles would stop bullying him. One morning, Jack was walking to his school. When Jack reached school, he saw Kris and Charles waiting for him at the front gate. Kris and Charles walked up to Jack and started to act nice. Jack was confused, but then suddenly, Kris kicked him and Charles pushed him. Everyone in the school started to take pictures, make videos, and laugh at him. The bullies started laughing and went to their first class. Although Kris and Charles were bullies, they were very dumb. Jack was the smartest in his class. Jack’s first class was science. Kris and Charles were talking to each other, so the teacher picked them up, but then they started to mumble, and everyone started to laugh at them. Jack was sleeping in the class right behind Kris and Charles. The teacher asked Jack, ”What does velocity mean?” Jack simply answered the question, “How fast the speed is going in a particular direction.” The teacher was impressed to hear a kid say the correct answer even though the boy was asleep. Kris and Charles felt jealous, so they showed fists to Jack which meant that they were gonna beat him up at lunch. Kris came up with an idea to get Jack in trouble, “Jack looked up the answer in his laptop!” yelled Kris. The teacher was disappointed and sent Jack to detention. Jack tried to explain, but the teacher wouldn’t let him. Then the same things happened in all the periods. When it was lunch, Kris and Charles threw down Jack’s food and gave him a wedgie. Jack got mad but didn’t do anything about it; after all, he was an indolent boy. A mysterious guy wearing a mask and a top hat saw the scene. His name was Mr. Strange, and people called him the mind-reader.
After school, Jack went home limping. He tripped a few times on the floor, which made his leg feel worse. He decided to go to a bus stop nearby. He saw a bus stop that would take him straight home, so he sat down and waited for the bus. After a while, the bus came and Jack went on it, but he didn’t know that Mr. Strange was on it. Jack’s leg felt a bit better sitting on the bus. He went to his house and took a rest. He started to do his homework and finished it at night since Jack was like a home bird and didn’t have friends to go out with. While Jack was finishing his homework, Kris and Charles were at a party. He filled a glass with water, and then he was gonna drink it when his mother called him. Mr. Strange was watching him from the window. After Jack went to his mother, Mr. Strange snuck into Jack’s house and put some magic salt in Jack’s water. This would make Jack feel stronger and braver. Jack came back into his room and drank the water because he felt parched. Mr. Strange had snuck before Jack came in and quickly ran back home. Jack went to his bed and fell asleep.
The next morning, Jack woke up feeling a bit more zappy. He jumped out of his bed and went straight to his restroom and started to brush and take shower and then got ready for school. He found it a bit strange that he was more active than before. He took his clothes and wore them. He felt a bit confident that he would be able to beat Kris and Charles because he felt stronger. His leg felt better and he could run faster than before. Instead of taking the bus, he decided to run to school. He ran so fast that he made it to the second bus stop before the bus could reach it. He continued running and didn’t feel tired. He then made it to school just in time before class started. He took all his books for his first period. He saw Kris and Charles talking and making fun of Jack while he entered the class. Jack could hear almost everything Kris and Charles were talking about. Jack sat down in his chair and Kris and Charles leaned back to his table and said that they would beat him up at lunch and after school. When it was lunch, Jack took his food and sat next to Kris and Charles. Kris and Charles felt confused, so they started to say mean things to him. Kris threw Jack’s food on the floor and then so did Jack. Kris felt angry and tried to punch Jack, but then Jack held Kris’s hand. Charles tried to hit Jack, but then Jack saved himself by a hair's breadth. Then after lunch, Jack took his other books and went to his next class. Jack felt happy like never before. When school ended, Jack kept all his books back in his locker and went out of the school. He saw Kris and Charles, but then both of them started to run away. Jack felt happy that no one could beat him up. If Mr. Strange hadn’t helped him, Jack would have been indolent forever in his whole life.
