New Perspective (Phan)

3 - Calling For My Savior

~Phil~

My first concern is the ground inevitably falling towards me, so fast I don't even know what to think of it until the moment my face collides with the floor.

It isn't until I look up that I realise I've just tripped and fallen over right in front of that extremely attractive boy I'd practically salivating over.

My glasses have odd bits of dirt on them, and I'm a little dizzy too. My first priority is standing up - oh god, I can't stay like this on the floor in public! But I'm dreading standing in case I fall over again, because:

1) I'm dizzy anyway

2) I can't see much right now

3) HE'S SO ATTRACTIVE AND HIS FACE WAS WHAT DISTRACTED ME IN THE FIRST PLACE!

I'm hoping he's not a total dickhead and his personality is as nice as his looks.

"Hey, are you okay?" He reaches me just after I stand up.

Jesus christ, his voice is almost as smooth as he seems. It sends a wave of shivers through me like nothing ever has before, and I've seen a lot of attractive guys in my lifetime. Though, I never FELL OVER in front of any of them!

I stand up, distracting myself from him by taking my glasses off and cleaning them on my school tie.

"Yeah, yeah I'm okay," I say, slightly shaky. He crosses over to me, and holds my arm.

"You're a bit wobbly," he says with a little laugh. "I thought you'd have noticed that brick you tripped over."

I look back at said brick. "Sly, sly brick trying to trip me over... I have no coordination anyway. I'd have tripped over even if it wasn't there."

He has the slightest smile. "Well, if this was down to the brick, its evil plan worked. Anyway, it's..." He checks the time on his iPod. I try to catch the album art of what he's listening to, but I don't see it in time.  "Five minutes until school starts, so we'd better leave now."

I feel thrilled for a moment because it sounds like he wants to walk to school with me.

My heart sinks as he lets go of my arm and turns to walk...

All by himself.

I turn away before I talk to him even more.

What logic, Dan. You're the one who tells yourself you want to make new friends, and now you've just ditched a perfect opportunity.

Part of me feels like it's a bad idea to get caught up in this type of situation again. But, what is this type of situation? Is there even a situation here, at all? No. I've never even seen the guy here before; he must be new, moved from an area where people aren't like the ones at my school...

Oh, I see now.

It's Lucas. I don't want the whole Lucas thing again. I don't want to invest so much time on one person, and get so frustraed when they leave me. I'm almost guaranteed this boy is a heartbreaker - he looks like the type, even if he doesn't know it himself. My gut tells me to keep my distance.

I sigh and continue walking. I can't just turn around and say 'Hey, let's suddenly walk together to school!' I want to, but I don't. I really, really want to, but it's going to be a bad idea if I do.

Sighing again, I put in my other earbud. A friend would be so good right now, but I can't afford to risk facing the consequences again.

~Phil~

You already made yourself look immensely awkward in front of him.

I carry on walking, using the hot guy as my guide.

You already messed up, and he didn't stay to talk long - what have you got to lose now?

I speed up a bit, despite the little sting in my knee. "Um, excuse me?"

He doesn't turn around. No twitch, no acknowledgement. Maybe his music is too loud... I wonder what he's listening to. Does he like bands like Muse and My Chemical Romance, like me? Or does he like that... rubbish stuff on the radio.

Well, that was discouraging.

I feel too awkward to shout again. Maybe it'll be easier to just-

"HEY, EXCUSE ME!? WAIT A SECOND!"

(A/N I promise they'll reach school soon <3 Though I'm having fun with writing the journey! I hope you all have a good day, don't forget to smile c: )
