I'll Try My Best (Phan) [Completed]

Part 2: What Do You Want?

(Phil POV)

I was sitting at my usual table at lunch today. I couldn't help but notice Daniel sitting by himself in the corner like he always did. I never really paid much attention to him but today I couldn't keep my eyes off of him. "What about you Phil?" Zack, one of my friends, asked me distracting me from my thoughts.

"What?" I asked cluelessly. "The party dude. The Halloween party. Are you going to it?" He asked. I wasn't really planning on going to it. Plus I don't even have a costume or anything. "Yeah, I guess."

Zack and the other people continued conversation and I just continued starting at the boy in the corner. From where I was sitting it looked like he was writing or draw. He always carried a notebook and pencil with him. "Hello? Earth to Phil?" Kelly, a girl at the table, said whilst waving her hand in front of my face. "What!" I said a little too annoyed. "Relax dude. What's got you all pissed?" Zack questioned me. I wasn't really angry, I was just trying to sit there and think but everyone kept interrupting my thoughts.

"Maybe we should just leave him alone." Kelly suggested. I looked back over to Daniel and saw him packing up his stuff and getting ready to leave. He got up and started heading towards the door. Half way to the door two guys stepped out. I recognised them immediately. They were the guys who always bullied him. "Shit." I said. "What's wrong?" Someone asked me but I ignored them.

I couldn't hear what the guys were saying but I could see that it wasn't good whatever it was. They shoved him then walked away. I know they would have done worse but there were a few teachers in the room. Daniel ran out of the lunch room and I snuck off after him. "Phil! Where are you going?" Kelly yelled. "I'll be back in a minute." I said before chasing after him. I quietly followed behind.

I watched as he looked under bathroom doors to make sure no one was in there. He stopped in front of the mirror and wiped his face. He was crying. I felt bad and wanted to go talk to him but I couldn't blow my cover. "When will it get better?" He asked himself. I noticed he was getting ready to leave so I ran as fast as I could back to lunch. I walked calmly back to my table and cleaned up my lunch.

The bell rang and I headed to my next class, science. I walked into class with my two friends Zack and Kelly. Zack was a little taller than me and had dark brown hair with blue streaks in it. He was wearing knee length short and a plain tee shirt. Kelly had longer colourful hair and was about my height. She wore a small black skirt with leggings and a dark purple shirt.

I walked in and saw Daniel sitting at his normal seat in the back corner. He was the only one in the room at the moment besides Zack, Kelly and I. Mrs. Shackle was a nice teacher and let us sit where ever we wanted as long as we didn't be too loud. I usually sat next to Zack but I couldn't help but want to go talk to Daniel. No one ever sat by him.

I stood up and told Kelly that she could have my seat and I slowly walked over to his table. "What's up with Phil? He's been acting pretty weird lately." I heard Kelly point out. I walked to the edge of the table and pulled the seat out and took a seat next to Daniel.

(Dan POV)

I saw out of the corner of my eye someone approach my desk. I didn't say anything to see if they would go away but they didn't. Instead they pulled out the seat next to me and sat themselves down. "What do you want?" I said a little meaner than I had wanted.

"Hi, I'm Phil." He introduced in a happy tone. "Yeah. I know who you are." I replied. We sat there in silence whilst more students flooded the room and called me names as they walked by. I didn't feel comfortable with him sitting by me looking at me. So I broke the silence. "What do you want?"

"Oh yeah. Um..." He trailed off thinking of something to say. "Well I was just wondering if you were okay. I saw what happened at lunch." Who cares if someone saw what those assholes said to me. Why would he all of a sudden start worrying about me?

"Since when do you care what happens to me? Why are you suddenly worrying about me?" I asked questioningly. "I don't know. I just thought you might've wanted some company." He said smiling. I don't like company. I don't like people. And I certainly don't like people bothering me.

"I-" he started but was cut off by our science teacher. "Good afternoon class." She began. "I'm gonna hurry up and explain everything so you guys have time to work." I sat there whilst watching Phil adjust his chair so he could see the teacher.

Mrs. Shackle explained some project that was do in a week. And of course we had to have partners. I usually was partners with no one because there was an odd number of students in our class. "Phil?" Mrs. Shackle asked. Phil looked up at her. "Who are you partners with?" Phil turned and looked at me but I just shook my head no. "I'm partners with Daniel." Fuck.

•Ok well right now I'm not too sure where I'm going with this story. Plus I'm trying to decide whether this is going to have a happy ending or a sad ending. But even if I know what ending I'm having I'm definitely not telling. By the way this story may be all over the place and not make sense but I'm not really good at writing.• ~Meowgravy
