I like this story. It is funny and I get a laugh at it.

It is true that a message starts with "It's happening tonight" ends like the following:

"It's happening tonight. Pass it on."
"What's happening tonight? Pass it on."
"Nev the Nerd's getting bashed. Pass it on"

Isn't it what life is about?

Your story left me with mixed emotions. I find bullying distressing - the pack picks out someone different to torment, usually the closest available nerd or geek (this is too close for comfort for me at the moment - my friend's son tried to commit suicide because of school bullying).
Anyway, putting my personal feelings aside about your topic, it is the most original use of the prompt line that I've read so far in the contest and you've set the classroom scene well - buzzing of bees spreading mischief rather than industriously working.

This is a very clever and humorous use of the sentence that starts the story. The more obvious direction would be a crime thriller, but yours is more interesting.
The buzzing bees imagery is perfect.
Just a recommendation to improve the rhythm of one of the sentences:
"... he was hanging on to every word of the teacher..." would read more smoothly if changed to "... he was hanging on to the teacher's every word ..." In the same sentence, what would be notes that are not factual?

Towards the end, 'head' should be 'heads'.
Well done.

What a fun employment of that sentence, Geoff - love it! ;) Sooooo, were you Nev or one of the ones on the back row...? :) ;) Happy New Year, sir, and best of luck! ;) Yvette

    On the popularity scale I was tipping towards Nev but struggling to tip it the other way. All the best for your '21 Yvette.
