Lucid Time!

I remember I went to some prestigious school in another town. The first thing that I remember was I was walking too school when I met with this older dream character, who for the sake of plot, we can call Bob. Bob was alot like me personality-wise but about 40 years old.

I remember the school was having this 'rocket science' month where we the school was getting paid by the government to design and build a base on mars. All of the students were given laptops and computer graphics software and asked to submit their best design for a grade that determined if you would pass to the next year or something.

I met bob while walking to school. He said that he had found a whole bunch of these model rockets that the school had just thrown out from the start of the month. Bob told me that he had gone to the same school as a kid but had been thrown out for stealing.

The story went that years ago the school had had a very similar competition for building a moon base. Bob had finished his design, (that was perfect in every way) but a bully (who's design had some flaws) stole his laptop and got rid of her own. Because she was the daughter of the mayor, nobody believed she could do anything bad, and When Bob tried to steal it back, he got caught 'stealing' her laptop (because all of the laptops the school gave us were identical), because the bully was the mayor's daughter, nobody believed she could do anything wrong. Because of this he worked this lousy job for the mayor where he was essentially doing community service forever.

We lit one of them off and it shot into the air. The mayor came out of town hall and yelled at Bob, but then went back in. The rocket had a little parachute and floated back down to the ground. Bob picked it up and told me that I'd better hurry lest I be late for school.

I walked another block or two. Just like you would expect there were more bullies. (Three of them, the alpha bully, the big fat kid, and the small skinny kid.) I remember I tried to fight back but could not. They took my laptop and all of my textbooks, and then all ran off in different directions. I became semi lucid here and chased after the small skinny kid with my laptop who I caught. (Now of course all of these kids had parents who were important in town. The big kid was son of the mayor. The alpha bully was son of the principal. And this kids dad was the sheriff.) When I finally caught him we had arrived at school, he said that he had been bullied into being a bully and he wanted to help me. (And gave back my computer.)

I told him that I had some ideas but I wanted him to stay out of it.

...

The next morning, I took a can of spray paint and went into the school's parking lot, and spray painted... a very manly masterpeice... onto the car of the principal. (Bonus points, she had like a really fancy sports car). The school had at this point been exchanged with my own middle school.

I went inside the school and found 'alpha bully's' locker. (Hardly anybody had showed up yet. If I remember correctly the only reason the school was open was that the swimming team would meet before first class.). I don't remember exactly how I got his locker open. I think I just listened for the tumblers with some kind of audio enhancing device that I had invented myself. But right when I did, someone came around the corner. It was one of the girls on the swim team. I did a 'one finger over lips be quiet' thing and she did one back. (Okay, she was on my side, not sure why.) And proceeded to plant the spray paint in his locker.

...

In third period all of the bully characters sat next to me. The classroom looked exactly like my 6th grade English classroom except the teacher was really old and mean. The alpha bully kid looked really nervous. Only the big kid was missing. Then someone pulled the fire alarm. I knew almost instantly it was the big kid.

...

My suspicion was confirmed. The alpha bully found out he had been framed, and panicked so he tricked the big kid into pulling the fire alarm in hopes that in the confusion, he could get off free. (He didn't). He was getting arrested by the police and struggling to get free. The big kid was getting arrested for pulling the alarm too. Then big bully pulled out a knife and tried to attack the bully for tricking him but the police tazed him. Bob showed up and asked me what was going on. I told him that I would explain later. We walked away from the scene, up on a hill above the school.

Then to our surprise this spacecraft (that looked like a moon lander) landed next to us, and the people from the space agency got out. They saw all of the police and what not (there were a LOT of police now) and asked what was going on. I skipped the details and told them that the pressure on middle schoolers to competitively design a mars base was too much, and some hyjinx had occurred because of it. It was then revealed that the school had been duped. Apparently they weren't using our designs to build moon/mars bases at all and it was all part of an experiment they were doing to see how to make a more cooperative environment at the space agency.

Bob was ticked. He stole their spaceship and flew away in it. That's the last thing I remember.
