Bossy Bill (book character)

Bossy Bill is the horrible, stuck-up son of Dad's boss. His father thought he was perfect until Henry tricked him into photocopying his bottom at the office.
== Appearances ==
In "Horrid Henry Goes to Work", Bossy Bill came to work with his dad for Bring Your Child to Work Day. Since Bill was the boss's son, Henry was told to do what Bill said. Using this position, Bill got Henry into trouble. He had Henry put salt in the tea the two were doing for the office workers, only for Bill to tell Big Boss and Dad that he had tried to stop Henry from doing so, but Henry didn't listen. He later started prank calling and made Henry join in, only for Henry to unintentionally prank call Big Boss while Bill stated that he was simply checking the phone lines. To get back at Bill, Henry suggested that they make rude faces and stick them all over the office. After Bill pointed out that people would know who they were, Henry instead suggested they photocopy their bottoms. Since he was the boss, Bill demanded that he go first. Henry then called in Big Boss and got Bill into big trouble. Bill attempted to say Henry told him to do it, only for Henry to throw back Bill's lies at him.
In "Horrid Henry's Arch Enemy", Bill joins Henry's school and to Henry's horror, he had to show Bill around. Bill got him into trouble with Miss Battle-Axe by getting Henry to say horrible things about the school. He then told Henry that he was going to tell his Dad every single bad thing he did in school. He also made a fool of Henry in the playground by lying about the bottom incident. After that, Henry constantly got told off by Dad in his many attempts to get rid of Bill. Eventually, Bill gained a sore throat and his parents asked for a sheet of multiplication sums as they didn't want him to fall behind. After it was delivered, Bill's parents didn't understand it and so they removed him from the school. What they didn't know was that Henry had taken the multiplication sums they asked for and swapped it over for homework that Henry had created himself.
Sometime after this, Bill met Stuck-Up Steve, possibly when Bill moved schools, who he found out is Henry's cousin. Bill was invited to come to Steve's house for the weekend in "Horrid Henry's Horrid Weekend", which was also when Henry, Peter and their parents were visiting for the weekend. They ended up getting Henry into trouble when they partially broke the bunk bed in their room and then dared him to jump onto it from it. Unknowingly, he completely broke it, which got him into trouble with his parents, involving getting him banned from a friend of their paintballing party. They then completely bullied Henry the entire Saturday, while gloating about them getting him into trouble. On the day of the party, they got a letter from their friend Tim telling them to turn up in their pyjamas, hinting they'll be in a Hollywood film. In reality, Henry was the one who sent the letter and after they arrived, the two were completely humiliated.
