Please review and give me ideas and advice

The next few days went by quickly. They had involved getting up late and not really doing much until everyone else got home. He would then go for a run with Tom. Come back and gulp the food down, then talk to Tom until he went to bed. And before he new it, it was time for his first day of school. He was going to be going to Carring park secondary school which had one of the lowest exam results in the country. At least the uniform wasn't to bad: a blue polo shirt and black trousers. Tom had started just over a week ago and didn't really have any friends so the 2 of them walked to school together. Luckily, they were in the same tutor and had the same lessons. The teachers hadn't quite mastered class control and the boys at the back of the class were constantly chucking things at each other and talking about the big fight that had happened before school. Joe was pretty clever so he had no problem keeping up with the classwork but couldn't be bothered to do a lot of it and spent most of the day talking to Tom while the teachers were slowly going mad as nobody was paying much attention to them.

At the end of the day, 2 boys who were big and angry looking came over to them.

"New kid." one of them said

"money, now" snarled the other one

" Why don't you piss off"replied Tom

All 3 of the other boys were startled, the 2 boys towered over Tom and were big, whereas Tom was pretty skinny.

"Its not worth it"warned Joe as he wondered how Tom had the balls to have said that.

"Come on then!" shouted Tom

One of the boys lunged at Tom. He easily dodged and punched him in the side of the head, Making the boy crumple. The other boy stepped forward, thinking that Tom had just got amazingly lucky. Tom need him in the guts then swept his feet away.

"You wanna try that again" shouted Tom, as he looked at the 2 dazed bodies lying on the floor groaning in pain.

"We need to get out of here." said Joe urgently

They quickly walked off and once they were a few minutes away Joe broke into a massive grin.

"You destroyed those dudes. How did you learn to fight like that?"

"My dad was a karate instructor" Tom explained

"So a you a black belt"

Tom nodded

"Awesome"Joe grinned

Somebody then came up behind them and Joe briefly felt a needle going into his arm before blacking out.
