Unforgiven Mistakes

Bathroom Capers

(Dan's POV)

*earlier that day*

"You know what, Howell. You're not even worth it" Phil stated as if it were quite simple.

"You keep telling yourself that, honey" I winked, before returning to my work.

Before long, the bell had gone and I immediately stood up, packed up my books and got the hell out.

I really had to pee. I called out to PJ where I was headed before sprinting to the corridor. I got halfway before I realised I didn't know where the toilet was.

"Great, just my luck" I said to...uh myself.

I spotted Phil up ahead and continued walking, I wonder where he was going. I followed him from a distance until we came to a room. The toilets!

So Phil had unintentionally helped me, I guess I'll have to thank him later. On second thoughts, maybe not.

I did my business before exiting the cubicle. I stood at the sink and nearly broke my hand on the tap when I heard a voice,

"So Howell, what are you doing here?" Phil smirked.

"Uh peeing, like everyone else" I stated, why else would I be in here?

"You weren't by any chance following me, now were you?" He tilted his head to the side.

I cringed and turned slightly red,

"No, ha! Of course not" I laughed awkwardly.

"Yeah sure thing, Howell" he said stepping very very close to me. I involuntarily stepped backwards but shit...there was a wall there.

"Is this something you do to every new kid, get up in their face?" I fumed,

"Nah, just the cute ones" he bit his lip and winked.

I blinked, and tried to control my breathing. Breathe in, breathe out. Come on Dan, you can do it. I mentally cheered myself for pushing him away.

He grabbed my face and I didn't know where to look. He pulled my face towards his, ignoring my struggling.

"Phil! What the hell are you doing?" I yelled at him,

Something wasn't quite right, I could see a mischievous glint in his eyes. He started to push my head away from his and went to slam it into the wall.

I didn't understand how important fast reflexes were until this moment. I ducked and kicked him in the shin. Phil doubled over in pain and I took this moment to push him but he grabbed my arm and I fell too.

Not on the ground, though. No, life couldn't do that. I had to fall on Phil, didn't I? Of bloody course. I stared at him for a minute before I heard the door slam and looked up.

I saw Louise's face watching in shock and amusement before walking off whilst yelling,

"PJ, stop! Hold on a minute!"

I gave Phil a disgusted look.

"Howell, I didn't realise it was this easy to get you on top of me. I thought it would be a lot harder, but I guess I'm just that irresistible".

It was in that moment I realised I was still laying on top of Phil.

"Oh shut up, you twat" I flipped him off before clambering off and walking down the hallway to find PJ and Louise

I straightened my shirt and ran my fingers though my hair. Why did he have to be such a jerk?

I saw Louise kneeling over someone on the floor, shaking their shoulders. I quickly realised it was PJ.
