HOOT by Carl Pliaasen

In the beginning of the story, it started out with Roy telling how if it weren't for his bully, Dana. He would never seen that strange boy when he was in the bus, being bullied by Dana pushing his face against the window. The boy only had a jersey on with kahki shorts but no shoes. The boy had a serious expression on his face and was running like someone was chasing him. Roy was curious by the strange boy and decided to look for him someday. When he got to school and got to lunch, he talked to his friend, Garret, about the boy but he kept telling Roy that he was probably just a high schooler.
