It's amazing how one day someone walks into your life and you wonder how you lived without them.

Dan had been walking down a hallway on his way to English when Dan had walked straight into someone. Out of fucking no where, this person just bam, right into him.

Dan had secretly hoped it would've been Phil so he could have a cheesy romantic moment.

Even though he shouldn't.

But Dan looked up and saw PJ, one of Tyler's friends. One of Phil's.

"Dan Howell right?" He spoke up, holding a hand out to help Dan up. "Sorry about that mate." Dan took hold of his hand and hoisted himself up.

"Yeah, it's okay." Dan rubbed his elbow of which he'd fallen onto.

"What've you got Dan?" PJ asked, referring to the subject.

"English."

"Oh same, I'll walk with you." PJ replied. Dan felt a little uncomfortable but decided not to make any comment.

"You do realise you were walking in completely the wrong direction right?" PJ asked Dan, a slight smirk played on PJ's lips. It looked natural but Dan couldn't help but feel paranoid.

"Oh sorry." Dan answered quietly. Dan shoved his hands deep into the pockets of his black skinny jeans.

"There's no need to be sorry Dan, you're new and it's okay to get lost." Dan smiled at PJ's reassuring words, letting them slip into his veins as a reminder. "Here we are, creative writing today!" PJ seemed excited and to be honest, Dan was too.

"Dan ma boy take a seat in a world like no other...creative writing!" Ellie mused when Dan reached his seat. Dan was sure he'd have a crush on Ellie if he didn't feel like they were already so close that nothing could separate them. Plus, he was sure Ellie would never feel the same. It was more of a friendship crush.

"You're a fucking nerd." He replied, laughing at her creativity.

"Hey, so are you dipshit." She defended herself but Dan only laughed harder. "Fuck you."

"Ellie, what scenario are you going with?" Dan whispered as they'd been given choice to write freely about a scenario.

"Train crash. You?" She had already scribbled down little ideas and words that Dan didn't even know but she knew what she was doing.

"Love, I think." Dan muttered shyly.

"Aww, cute!" She smiled, not in a teasing way but approving. "Do you know who about?" She questioned casually but still making a start on the story.

"Not really..." Dan trailed off knowing exactly who it was going to be about.

Talia.

Ha no, Phil.

"Eh well, you could make someone up!" she suggested. Dan nodded.

Dan's pen hit the page as he gently started to write.

The eyes are always the god like feature that hit you first but for me, it was every bit of him. His dark black hair that is more like midnight itself. The eyes that are pools of ice, but not cold. He's not gorgeous, he's not pretty. However, I don't feel like counting in that with him.

"Hey El, can you read this for me?" Dan shoved the paper in front of her eyes. Immediately, a knowing smirk fell onto Ellie's lips.

"You couldn't make it more obvious if you tried, which is good. Nice writing style Howell." She praised. Dan blushed.

"You k-know?" Dan stuttered.

"Dan. It was obvious from the moment you set eyes on Phil that all you wanted was him." She chuckled. "It's okay though, your secret is safe with me, rather cliche but it is."

"Thanks you're the best." Dan gives her a side hug to which Ellie huddles into before continuing on with her work. Dan casually glanced towards the back.

Oh shit.

Talia was glaring. Little pits of fire where her eyes used to be burnt us with her nasty stare.

Dan quickly turned back.

"What's wrong?" Ellie chuckled seeing Dan's wide eyes and pale face.

"If Talia kills you, don't blame me." Dan whispered in a hushed voice.

"What? Why?" Ellie twisted her neck around to stare. "Oh, oh that's why." But Ellie laughed, turned again and laughed harder. "That bitch wow." Ellie sighed.

"What?" Dan said almost defensively.

"You're scared of her aren't you?" Ellie had a smirk on her face and Dan couldn't deny it so instead he nodded. "Don't worry Dan, she's nothing more than an orange face with too much mascara."

"Phil Lester is not someone you're supposed to stare at." Talia spoke up as soon as she sat next to Dan in form. "He's crazy." She hissed. "He drags everyone along only to sling them back to the start again."

"It's true." Another boy known as Adam confirmed from behind her.

"He once tried to get into my pants and payed me for it" Talia continued.

"I'm sure there's an expl-" Dan started only to be cut off.

"Dan, I'm only looking out for you." Talia placed a hand in his. Dan nodded only to turn to face Phil. Stupid fucking decision. He was laughing whilst biting his tongue in such an adorable way that Dan almost let out an 'aww'. But you don't aww people like Phil Lester.

"Dan, please stay away from him." Talia nodded at him once more. But her voice wasn't soft...it was almost threatening.

"Right form! Register everyone quiet." The form tutor called out. Tyler .,was talking wth someone behind him. He hadn't heard a single thing.

I'm only looking out for you.

Dan held in a breath.

He's not even attractive, don't stare it him.

Hate his existence.

Girls like Talia

[A/N] SHORT I KNOW DON'T KILL ME!

It's sort of a filler chapter to show Talia and Dan a little more and introducing PJ a little.
