I am a middle school student who would like to have a pair of earphones that sound good but also cancel some noise (enough to drown out 3/4 of the noise coming from the screaming 6th graders in the bus) and also stays securely in the ear. Not looking for anything too fancy, just something that is as described above.

I'd probably say the Rock It Sound R-20s (http://rockitsounds.com/shop/product/?prod_id=14)
 
... check out Joker's nice review of many candidates in that price range...it was helpful for me.
