When Dan walked into school, he was happy Phil had went on his bus with him. He stayed right by Phil's side, and had Phil walk him to his first class.

Lunch came by very quickly, and Dan had run up to Chris so he wouldn't have to walk in alone, still scared from his nightmare.

"Hey, Chris!" Dan called and Chris turned around from his locker.

"Hey, Dan right?" He asked and Dan nodded with a smile, "what's up?"

"Oh, I don't know. I was just dropping by to say hey, wanna walk to lunch with me?" Dan offered.

"Yeah sure," Chris happily obliged, "but I'm just gonna get Peej real quick, wanna come?"

"Alright, sounds good."

Dan and Chris ran upstairs happily and Chris held his index finger in front of his lips to as if Dan was talking. He crept up behind Pj at his locker and shouted "BOO!" As he wrapped his arms around a terrified Pj, "scared ya."

"You suck." Pj said.

"In your dreams." Chris stuck out his tongue and grabbed Pj's hand, "Dan wanted to walk to lunch with us, cool?"

"Fine with me." Pj replied with a goofy smile.

The three of them walked into lunch, Dan trailing behind Chris and Pj. Dan saw Phil and immediately a smile grew on his face, until he saw that Phil was not eating.

He ran up to Phil, greeting him with a welcoming smile. "Hey, where's your food?" He asked Phil.

"Oh, I had breakfast so I'm only gonna eat 2 meals a day I've decided, so I'm skipping lunch today. Plus I'm not all that hungry." Phil replied so Dan just shrugged it off and went up to get lunch.

"Hey babe, why aren't you sitting with me?" Allison came up behind him and asked Dan, pulling his arms around his small waist.

"Oh, I was sitting with Phil today, is that alright?"

"Are you choosing Phil over me?" Allison snapped at Dan, making him flinch.

Oh god, it was his nightmare. She's going to make him choose between her and Phil. Dan could never have the strength to do that.

"No, I was just gonna sit there." Dan explained.

"Well, sorry babe," Allison started, kissing Dan then continued, "you're sitting with me."

Dan got his food and looked over and Phil's table as he sat down at Allison's. He didn't belong at this table. He saw Phil laughing with Pj and Chris, and he couldn't help but envy that the three outsiders of the school fit in somewhere, while Dan was at a place he didn't belong in.

"Dan, what's up with you, you haven't said a word?" Allison grasped his attention.

"Oh it's nothing, I just didn't get enough sleep yesterday." he explained, half lying to Allison but half telling the truth.

"Oh, I thought you wanted to sit at Phil's table. And that's for understanding that you won't sit at that table anymore. They're not our kind." she said and kissed Dan on the cheek as the rest of them snickered.

"Wait, I can't sit there ever? But babe they're my friends!" Dan challenged.

"Honey, you won't sit there, and if you really love me you won't talk to them either, but we'll take baby steps." She said in a sweet yet evil voice, nibbling on her peanut butter sandwich.

"Why can't I? They accepted me when nobody else did, they deserve nice friends." Dan was not going to let it go, he did have feelings for Phil after all, and he couldn't let those go either.

"Well, you probably know this, but Phil is a faggot, like, legitimately. We used to be friends with him until he told us." Allison informed Dan, making the whole table laugh but cringe.

Dan couldn't help but feel bad. Phil was still his best friend, and now he was dating someone who was homophobic. If only she knew that Dan was bisexual, would she dump him? Would she make an exception for true love? Probably not.

"Hey, so I'm going to my class, I love you, and remember, try your best to stop the talking with them." Allison said and winked at Dan, before pulling into an intense kiss.

Dan felt dizzy as he walked up the stairs to his next class. Phil saw that he didn't look go so he skipped over and grabbed Dan's arm.

"Hey, Dan, what's wrong?" Phil asked sweetly, making Dan only hurt worse.

"I don't want to talk about it." Dan replied harshly, passing the hurt to Phil. Did Phil do something wrong? Was Dan mad at him? He wasn't the one to just move tables like Dan did, so what was happening?

"Oh, okay. Can you hang out after school?" Phil offered, seeming desperate almost to see wether or not Dan was mad at him.

"Well no, not really. I have a big project due a couple days that I need to work on plus some homework, maybe a different day." Dan said, but Phil caught him in the huge lie.

Phil remembered some of their previous conversations, Dan never worked on projects until about a day before they were due, and always started homework late at night.

Dan walked into his class feeling awful. He really just ditched Phil like that. Maybe choosing would be easier than he thought? No, he can't just get rid of Phil. He loved Phil. But he also loved Allison.

Dan felt his head pounding more and more every second, and he didn't hear one word his teacher was saying. He scribbled down random notes and pretended to be paying attention until his vision started to fade.

"Dan, are you okay?" The teacher asked, before everything went dark.

Dan woke up hours later in the nurses office in an uncomfortable bed that make a noise every time he adjusted himself. He found 2 notes next to the bed.

The first was from Phil:
Hope ya feel better, talk to you soon

The second was from Allison:
Hey, text me when you're up.

The nurse greeted Dan politely with a smile. "Your mothers here to pick you up." she informed him and Dan smiled.

"Thank you." Dan took out his phone and texted Allison.

Hey, I'm up babe.

"Dan! Are you okay? Gosh, you need to get some rest. I want you to go home and lie down. I'll call the doctor and make an appointment for tomorrow. You're missing school." She commanded as they hopped in the car, and Allison texted him following immediately after.

Alright honey, and remember what I said before:
You have to choose

Fun fun fun fun.

Okay so it took me forever to find a song that worked because on my phone nothing ever works out right.

So yeah..sorry it took me so long to update.

OH AND ON THE 31ST I MET CONNOR FRANTA AND HE CALLED ME SWEET AND I DIED.

Okay, I'll let you have a fun life of waiting until it's 12:00 to remember you had homework you never did because of procrastination.

Unless I just reminded you...sorry for spoiling your fun plans.

I'm gonna stop being a wise ass. Hope you liked my chapter, please vote if you did.

Love always,
Mary
