Ghost (Phan AU)

Chapter 3

*Hands you a lolly*

I woke up due to my annoying alarm clock. I opened my eyes and looked around the room, my first instinct was to find Dan, but I decided, for time reasons that I should get ready. I quickly chucked on a pair of black skinny jeans and a plain blue top, my hair was already straight, and I avoid straightening it too much.

I made my way downstairs where my parents had made me breakfast and that's where I saw Dan. He was sitting on a chair that was now in the kitchen as my parents must have unpacked a little more. He was on the chair opposite my dad, and I sat next to him. It was weird how my parents were so oblivious to Dan's existence.

"Hey Phil." Dan whispered, and I smiled at him.

"Wow Phil honey, you seem happy." My mum stated, as she watched me smile to 'air'. Dan giggled which made me happy as he seemed so upset when I first met him.

"Yeah, just yesterday moving here was the best thing we have done. I love this house." I stated, directing it at Dan.

"Really? You aren't scared of all the ghost stories that people tell about this place?" My dad questioned and I just laughed, which made him confused.

"Maybe ghosts are nice, and maybe they are not even like ghosts. One could be right next to me, and you guys would never know, because he would never hurt you because ghosts are nice." I responded.

"He? Not all ghosts are males honey." My mum laughed.

"I know." I said, standing up and making my way to the door.

"Bye Phil!" My parents called out.

"Bye mum, bye dad." I waved and started to make my way to school, which was so much closer now that I had moved house.

Dan knew he couldn't follow me. I told him that he probably shouldn't, as I would probably end up exposing him by accident and look crazy.

I arrived at school minutes later, and whilst I was walking, I was torn between telling Chris and Pj about Dan, or just leaving it. They might think I'm crazy. But I tell them everything. Maybe I should ask them if they believe in ghosts because now, I certainly do. Although something about Dan confused me, he was amazingly good looking and aren't ghost supposed to be well... Scary looking. His brown hair looked soft, and as much as I wanted to touch it, I couldn't, I would just go right through him. What am I saying? I can't like a ghost, I especially can't love a ghost. I shook my head and entered the school gates, walking up to a laughing Pj and Chris.

"Hey guys." I waved and they turned their heads.

"Hey Phil babes." Chris smirked then earned a playful hit from Pj.

"Hey what was that for?" Chris laughed at faced him.

"I don't know..." Pj said awkwardly.

This is the thing about Pj and Chris, is that I could tell that they had some sort of feelings for each other but they were so oblivious to it. They would always be playful with each other, but they would always deny when people would ask them if they liked each other. Deep down, I've had conversations with Chris before, and I know that he has liked Pj. But a while ago, Pj had got a girlfriend and he broke down to me, and that's how I found out. I want planning to tell anybody though. He still gets upset whenever he sees Pj with her.

His face just drops down, and he would be so quiet. I honestly just felt like hugging him whenever it happens because Chris is a good guy, and he doesn't deserve to feel this way.

And of course, speaking of her, she is on her way over, running up to Pj. I look over at Chris, and his eyes fix onto the floor, his expression falls, and he looks absent minded. I tried to get him away as soon as I could.

"I know we still have 5 minutes, but do you want to goto art now? You know, get an early start on our project?" I asked, and he looked up at me as if to say lets go. Pj wasn't in our art class, neither was his girlfriend, Grace.

We walked down the art corridor in silence, I could feel that Chris was hurting. I just didn't know how to cheer him up. Would me sharing my problems make him feel better or worse? Maybe he can help me about the whole Dan situation, but what if Dan doesn't want me to expose him. I'm going to have to keep my secret. He looked at me confused.

"What you thinking about?" He said as we made our way into the class room, the teacher smiling at us as we walked in.

"Nothing." I lied.

"Phil, I know you more then you know yourself, now tell me." He said his voice changing seriously.

"There's something, I just can't tell you. I'm sorry, but don't worry though, its not a problem. It's actually really good and I'm really happy, just a little confused." I rambled on.

"Well if its good can't you tell me?" He asked, and honestly it was a good question.

"It's a long story, and I have a question, its totally irrelevant but... Do you believe in ghosts?" I asked in response.

"Well, no not really. They all claim to haunt stuff and shiz, but you can really tell that its fake, its all special effects." He stated and I turned away awkwardly.

"Oh okay." I smiled even though I was slightly disappointed.

We turned to our art work and began. Class had officially started. It was strange though, it was going really slow, so I gazed out of the window in hope to fall into a day dream.

The daydream lasted all lesson, and pretty much for all of religious studies as well. If i admit it, they were all about Dan. He was just so mysterious. The last lesson I had today was science, but of course it was filled with me daydreaming about Dan. I just wanted to know more about him, and apart of me wants to prove Chris wrong and that ghosts do exist. The more I daydreamed about him, the more I wanted to be with him again.

Soon enough school had finished, which meant I could return back to Dan.

I threw my school bag in my room and ran around the house trying to find Dan. He was nowhere to be seen. I ran into all the rooms and he was still nowhere to be seen.

"Dan!" I called out.

"Over here!" He shouted back, and I followed the voice.

"Where are you?" I said, walking into the living room, that's where the voice was coming from.

"Here I am." He smiled as I saw him sitting in front of a blank tv.

"Why don't you turn it on?" I asked, scratching my head in confusion.

"I can't." He sighed.

"Oh, I'm so sorry." I apologized, and he shook his head.

"No no its okay. The time that I have been a ghost, watching a blank tv was my fun. Its the only thing I could do." He sighed, but smiled, I knew it was fake.

"How long have you been a ghost?" I asked hesitantly.

"About 2 years, and its been 2 years since I have ever talked to anyone. Its nice being able to be acknowledged again." He smiled, and his eyes lit up.

"Dan, you should come to school with me." I suggested and he turned his head in confusion.

"But nobody can see me." He said, looking at the floor.

"It doesn't matter. You need to meet my friends Chris and Pj." I said and he shook his head.

"They will think you're crazy." He huffed.

"Well I'll go to the end of the world to prove you exist, you deserve a lot more than you have Dan. You don't deserve to be locked in my house forever." I shook my head at the thought.

"Okay, I'll go." He said, bringing his head up to look at me.
