another weird dream

i was in a school, i know it wasn't my school because the layout was slightly different but two of the people i go to school with were there. somehow my shoes ended up on the balcony near one of the exits. a group of boys (one of them i knew but for some reason he had way shorter hair in this dream than in real life, he doesn't play much of a role in this dream) was also sitting on the balcony so i call up to them and ask for my shoes back. they say no. i figure it's just regular teenage boys being mean for no reason so i start walking up and i try to take my shoes. they play keep-away with them for a bit and i demand my shoes back a bit more forcefully. they say no again. this goes on for a while; i ask for my shoes back, getting increasingly pissed off, they keep saying no. at one point i actually try to physically hurt one of the boys (i assume he's the "leader" of the group, i never got his name but he had very light blonde hair, a couple moles on his face, was wearing a white t shirt) but he throws me down the balcony. luckily i landed on my feet. eventually, the boys leave except for the leader. i ask him why he won't give me my shoes and he doesn't answer. he comes downstairs, leaving the shoes upstairs. i try to grab them but he physically restrains me. i offer him an ultimatum; he just gives me the shoes and we forget this ever happened, i don't tell anyone and i don't hold it against him or his friends. eventually one of the girls from my english class shows up next to him (i'll call her J for simplicity), and i don't remember if she said anything to me directly, but she's laughing at everything this guy says. the conversation gets progressively more and more heated, and eventually it gets to the point where (tw for sh//ting) he threatens to sh//t me in the head with an assault rifle. surprisingly, i'm not scared by this threat; instead i demand to know what's wrong with him, while J just keeps laughing like she heard the funniest joke in the world. luckily, my 9th grade history teacher of all people was in a room close by, and ran out to see what the problem was. i explained that all of this was because the guy wouldn't give me my shoes back after i asked for them. luckily the dream got resolved, i got my shoes back, but the guy didn't get any sort of reprimanding for threatening me. i don't even know if he got let off with a warning. the dream ends with me watching my former theater kid brother do a performance about spanish culture outside of the school.

i have no clue what this could possibly mean, again i literally just woke up so i could write this all down before i forget. i don't know why i recognized J, my teacher, and my brother, but not the guy holding my shoes hostage
