Falling for my boyfriend's best friend(Phil Lester/ Dan Howell Fan Fic)

Chapter 1

Raven's POV

It was Mid-January and we were all listening to our Grade 3 teacher, Ms. Burns, about animals that are going to be extinct soon. Every girl was about to cry for the animals except me. I honestly didn't care for aniamals. I wanted to draw and play music but I was still only 10 and I didn't know what I wanted to do when I grew up but My teacher told me to be an Artist but I didn't listen to her at all.

"All right kids, we have a new student in our class. His name is Phil Lester" Ms.Burns told us. All the girls were staring at him weird but I didn't know why.

"Phil, why don't you sit next to Raven over in the back." Ms.Burns said while pointing to the empty desk beside me. I looked up to see her pointing at the desk but I try to stay calm about it. I thought she was pointing at me at first but I watched Phil take the seat next to me.

"Hi I'm Phil." Phil said looking at me while I was drawing a lion on my paper.

" I'm Raven." I reply without even looking up from my drawing.

"What are you drawing?" Phil asked, trying to see what I was drawing.

"A lion. They're my favorite animal." I answer, Looking slightly at him but not enough for him to notice.

"Really? Lions are my favorite animals too!" Phil said, kinda loud so Ms.Burns noticed.

"Talking in class on your first day of school? Phil, Please listen, unless you want to go see Mrs. Templeton in the office?" Ms. Burns said confidently but still sounding a little pissed.

"Of course not Ms. Burns." Phil said looking down, smiling slightly.

"I wouldn't be smiling if I were you" I told him quietly but enough for him to hear me.

"why?" Phil asked confused.

"Mrs. Templeton is the principal. She is so mean. One time, One of my friends was sent to the office for talking in class. She never came back." I whispered to phil. Phil looked shocked. I slightly nodded.

~1 hour later~

"God I'd thought that would never end!" I complained to my small group of friends. We were all walking together out the classroom door and carrying our bags over our shoulders.

"You are so lucky Raven. You get to sit beside Phil for the rest of the year." Becky said, sounding kinda jealous.

"Yeah? So?" I replied uninterested.

"What do you mean so what! He is like the cutest guy in our class and you're not interested in him?!" Shayla almost yelled.

" I mean, I would rather find the right guy 10 years later and be happy then to find a guy right now and be unhappy for 20 years." I said. I was pretty smart for my age from what Ms.Burns says but I think I'm no smarter than the next guy is.

"That's stupid. The guy you get now will be the guy you be happy with forever." Jessica told me.

"That's impossible. The guy you be with now will be possibly completely different from what he is now. You will just end up getting heart broken and you will be unhappy for the rest of your life" I told them. I was getting snippy with them but they were really bothering me.

"well if you think I will be unhappy when I get Phil and get married 15 years from now, I will prove you wrong but till then, You're out of the group." Becky said. I could not believe her. She thinks she's the leader. I mean, She is a few months older than me but still. I assembled this group and I should run it!

"You're serious? Becky you're so immature. Fine. I'll leave but don't come to me if you're unhappy with your marriage and Told me I was right and you were wrong." I told the frustrated Becky and walked away out the front doors of the school to get the bus. I climbed onto the school bus and saw Phil sitting alone with the rest of the bus filled. I walk towards Phil and he turned away from the window to look at me.

"Do you mind if I sit with you? There is no spaces left." I asked nicely

"Yeah you can sit here. I don't bite" Phil said, smiling. Phil slid his backpack in between his legs and I took my bag off and sat down beside him.

"So, did you enjoy your first day?" I asked, smiling a little.

"yeah it was fine. Gym time wasn't very fun though. I hate dodgeball. I always get picked last." Phil reminded me of gym class today.

"Yeah. I'm the same. Sometimes it's boys vs girls or team captains" I replied

"I've always hated it. I used to hide my sports kit every time we played it cause there was no point for me to play. I was always picked last and everyone would laugh cause I got hit every time I got back up and also, I would get picked on because I wasn't a strong thrower." Phil said, looking down sadly.

"I'm sorry to hear that Phil but I actually have injuries that hurt due to dodgeball. I got a black eye, almost broken arm and a big hit to the side of the face, causing me to get a huge bruise on the side of my face. My mom called me Two-Face till it healed." I told Phil, making a slight laugh. Phil smiles a little looking at me as I could see at the corner of my eye. I turn my head to look at him.

"umm... Raven? Do you want to be friends?" Phil asked kinda of awkwardly. I can not believe him. Did he really just ask me to be his friend? I mean, I never had real friends but I just snapped into reality and said...

"sure!" I said excitingly but not too excitingly.
