Universes Collide -A Phan Fic-

Chapter 2 - Progeny

"Mr Lester?" Asks Mr. Wentz, my English teacher, "Are you listening to what I am saying?" he raises an eyebrow at me.

Well, might as well not lie.

I clear my throat, "Actually I wasn't Mr. Wentz, I am sorry. It won't happen again."

He nods and he continues talking about the book Hamlet until a boy walks into the classroom.

The boy is pale, has brown hair and brown eyes. He looks like that type of English kid in a Disney movie, pure and innocent. But then I stare at him closer, and realize that that was the boy at the park.

"Ah, hello Dan. Everyone, this is Dan. He is new, everyone don't try to push him into your lockers. Is that clear?" Mr. Wentz says.

"Crystal Clear." everyone groans. Everyone knew to not just say "yes" or "no" to Mr. Wentz, he hated that.

Dan went ahead and sat down into a remaining seat, next to me.

"I feel as if I know you from somewhere." he says.

"Um- really? I don't know you from.. anywhere." I say, looking at the teacher.

The boy sits back down properly and he sighs.

"Okay, so you are going to all read the book Hamlet, write a book review and act a scene out of it, but you will all be in pairs."

People start to rush up to find a friend.

"Sit back down right now." Mr. Wentz says in a calm but scary tone, "I've put you all in pairs, boy and girl. But there is one boy pair. Anyway, once I call out your name go sit with the person I paired you up with. And no complaining about it."

"No complaints at all, sir." everyone once again groaned.

----------------------------------------------------

Mr Wentz called out every name, Phil saw people groan and people run up to them and say "Yes!". But when there was only two left he looked around and saw the pale boy have no partner.

"You two are the boy pair. So everyone get out now, I have another class to teach." Mr. Wentz sits back down at his desk.

I get up and pick up all my belongings. I leave and hear someone whisper "Fag" to me, I don't know who it was but I head off to my next class.

It was true though, I'm a fag. I'm probably the biggest fag in the school, you see. This entire school is either filled with trouble makers and jocks. There's hardly any in between. And from what I can recall I'm the only homo in the school.

I let my thoughts wonder in geography until I realise two seats in front of me is that boy again. How come I only just met him yesterday in that parallel universe and he turns up in the main universe now?

In a way the boy just seems so... different. I mean, nobody has really talked to him yet which makes me feel some sympathy.

Should I go up to him and talk to him? I mean it couldn't possibly kill me right? He is like a magnet in a way, he keeps on pulling me back to him, like he is always there and I have no control over this curiosity. Why did he amaze me so much.

The bell rings and everyone heads off to lunch. I see the boy and speed walk up to him and slow down to his pace.
"Uh hello?" I say, "I'm Phil, you remember me from English right? I just wanted to ask if you would like to sit with me for lunch?"
"Uh, sure." the boy, "I'm Daniel, but call me Dan please."

We go off to lunch and sit down on a two seated table, thank god our high school has those seats. If they didn't we could be sitting with the serial killers right now.

I try to think of something to say to him until my mouth does the talking.
"Hey, um.... would you like to come over to my house after school so we can work on the English assignment?" I blurt out.
Why the hell did I say that for?
"Sure, I mean that would be fine." he says. The awkwardness couldn't get any more tense.

----------------------------------------------------

I sat down on my bed and got out the copy of Hamlet. We both just jot down some informal notes. My phone starts to play the Attack On Titan theme song and I leave the room mouthing sorry.
In pretty sure Dan jumped when he heard it.

"This is Master Lester, correct?" says a serious voice.
"Yes it is..." I gulp when I realise who it is.
"Please immediately come down to the Chamber, there are some matters to discuss."

I hang up the phone and go back into my room.
"Uh, Dan. You'll have to go now, my parents don't know anyone's home and they'll be home soon." I lie.
"Sure, I don't think we have to work together until the play part anyway." he corrects he and I mentally face palm myself.

Once I know he left I go ahead and take a taxi to the Chamber.

----------------------------------------------------

The Chambers heart look exactly like a normal court room, the smell of books and blandness make me shiver, or that might just be the air conditioning.

"Master Lester." Judge Coran says. "We have recently had an alternate universe collapse, and from what I've heard you were in it?
What? Who was watching me.
She clears her throat, "Do you realise how this has became a danger to Rughters around? Someone could have died because at least
1 500 universes from that branch have dissapeared. Someone could have been in one of those universes" Judge Coran explains herself in a fierce tone.

"How should we punish him?" asks Judge Dowd.
They all  discuss the matter until Judge Coran comes to a conclusion.

"Master Lester, considering this a chance. You will now have to take one more course in Rughting." Judge Dowd says.

"You are lucky we don't ban you from Rughting." said Judge Coran, "Now go off, we have much more bigger issues to deal with."

This is going to be interesting.
