PHIL'S P.O.V
SPLAT
A snowball hits the back of my neck and by snowball, I mean a sphere of rock solid ice combined with sludge. The point is that it hurt.
I carry on walking through the thick snow, letting the sheet of white engulf my leather school shoes. I've always loved the snow. I like the way it falls on everything. It reminds me that everything is equal despite what the status quo says.

everyone as humble as I. I start to quicken my pace afraid of what will happen if I turn around. "OI, EMO" Jesus Christ will this boy ever leave me alone, But the bigger question still lies.

Shit, this isn't going to end well. "YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE, FAGGOT".
"Fucking watch me" I mutter under my breath as I yet again gaining speed, I take off down an alley way that I never knew existed, but apparently it does. Eventually I can't hear them anymore, so I slow down. In fact I slow to a halt.

This boy had obviously got himself into a few fights. He wore a white sleeveless top with grey jogging bottoms, they had a logo, I'm just not sure what of. I look up to see he had arms above his head and he was leaning against the things that separated us. But only just. He was stood behind the bars of a prison, or a 'juvenile delinquent centre' if you will.

"Hello there, you like what you see" The boy behind bars greeted me.
