If the school prevented you from installing programs, there's a reason they did it. School laptops are not for gaming and should be used only for work.

Nope. You need to be logged in with an Admin account to create another Admin account. Basic networking. The only thing you can possibly do is get with your IT people and ask for admin rights to install software. Chances are if you got a locked down computer in the first place, the answer will be no.

If you want to play games, why don't you just get a cheap PC laptop?

There weirdos so is there anything else i can do,

Thanks for your help guys :)

No, and I strongly suggest you read our Community Guidelines. What you're asking to be able to do would most likely involve using some illegal software or doing something illegal. You may want to stop while you're ahead.
