The chat room- you don't know me...

Ok so this is my second idea with the main basis being a chat room. This idea is based upon a bully and their victim unknowingly meeting on a internet chat site. Here is my story/idea in more detail...

The story/idea- a boy is being bullied on a daily basis by the girl school bully. Becoming fed up with his school life and not having anything else to him keep him positive in his home life, Thomas decides to join a chat site to see if he can meet any teenagers who he could be himself with and just chat to , like he is desperate to do in his school life. Deciding to make an account, Thomas decides that he wants to leave his life and so makes his name, 'Theo.' The name of his older, more athletic, more popular,  brother who he aspires to be like. After a few days of logging on and not really getting what he wants out of the chat site, Thomas almost gives up. Until one evening he recieves a message from 'Sarah' who asks of he would like to chat. He agrees and the pair start chatting and realise they have a lot in common, not knowing that in fact 'Theo' is Thomas and 'Sarah' is Sam the high school bully.
As they seem to grow a connection through their online chats and texting, the pair decide that they should meet up as they seem to have so much in common- all the while Sam still continues to make Thomas' life a living hell at school. 'Theo' and 'Sarah' arrange a date, time and place that they will meet and both get excited and nervous about what will happen as they have no clue what each others physical appearance will be like. All they know is they get on very well... a little too well some may say!
As another day of being bullied ends for Thomas, he sprints to the park where he said he would meet 'Sarah'. Sitting on the bench nervously, Thomas notices that there is someone sitting on the bench next to him... It's Sam the school bully. Sam sends a text to 'Theo' and when Thomas' phone goes off she looks shocked. She then rings the number and Thomas' phone starts ringing. Realising what has happened, Sam threatens Thomas, telling him if he tells anyone about this he will be dead and runs off.
Thomas crushed because the one good thing in his life has just been ruined, goes back home contemplating what will happen the next day at school, thinking it will be even worse then usual.
The next day at school Thomas expects the usual, lunch money to be stolen and endless horrible names being aimed directly at him by Sam, but instead he walks through the school front gates with no trouble, manages to get to the canteen at lunch with his lunch money still in his pocket for the first time in years and heads home at the end of the day without being called a single name... he had seen Sam numerous times that day and she hadn't said a single word to him, Thomas thought that Sam had finally realised that they were more alike then most.

If you could let me know what you think about this idea and the idea i have had in my previous post that would really help as i am stuck for which one to choose! Thank you!
