There's a rumour going around about a year 13 who only dates a person for seven days. Once those seven days are finished he breaks up with them, eventually continuing on to date the first person who confesses to him the following day.

Dan has never seen him before, but he knows that this guy's name is Phil Lester and that he's apparently so nice to everyone he dates that nearly the entire school jumps at the chance to claim him, hoping that they would be 'the one' to go over those seven days. Even if that has never happened yet.

"Lester broke up with his girlfriend again today," Dan's friend, Chris, commented while their friend group ate some Sunday evening dinner, pushing a strand of brown hair out of his eyes. "Wonder who he's gonna date this week."

Dan rolled his eyes. He didn't really care to be completely honest, never really was interested in high school drama. Besides, Phil was a year older than him and would be graduating this year, so why was everyone so hung up on him still? "I've never even seen the guy," Dan admitted, taking a bite out of his veggie sandwich with as much enthusiasm as a sloth. "I don't get why he's so interesting."

Three pairs of eyes all turned to look at him, making Dan shrink into his seat a bit. "You've never even seen the guy?" Ivy repeated, pressing her lips into a firm line. Her green eyes narrowed at him. "The reason why he's such a big deal is because he's the most handsome person anyone has ever laid eyes on, and is super nice on top of it. Treats everyone he dates like they're royalty. Everyone wants a chance to feel like they mean something to someone."

Now it was PJ's turn to speak, giving Dan a smirk. "What if you dated him, Dan?"

Three pairs of eyes gaped at the curly haired brunette, Dan's face turning a shade of ugly red. "Hell no! I'm not gay, mate."

PJ rolled his eyes at his reaction. "Come on. I triple dog dare you."

A series of gasps rang around the group, and Dan slammed his face onto the table, missing his lunch by only a centimeter. Everyone in his friend group knew that Dan physically couldn't turn down a triple dog dare. "I fucking hate all of you," he hissed, wringing his hands by his sides.

"Are you going to do it though?" Ivy giggled, and she twirled a strand of brown hair around her finger.

"Sadly," Dan muttered.

His three friends grinned. "Excellent. Lester goes and stands in the courtyard by the willow tree every Monday morning at seven. The first person who confesses gets to date him."

Dan didn't say anything, just let out a sigh as he took another bite of his sandwich.

Day One

Dan made sure to wake up earlier than his usual on Monday to actually get ready. He refused to lose at something so simple. With as much enthusiasm as a kicked puppy, he threw on his nicest school uniform - the one with the least amount of wrinkles that smelled like freshly washed laundry - and straightened the curls from his hair.

At six thirty, he pressed his lips together, grabbed a lemon poppyseed muffin his mum had made for breakfast, and began the dreaded walk to school an hour earlier than he normally would have. He shoved the muffin into his mouth, relishing in the sweet, lemon-y taste while blasting Brand New into his brain to wake himself up a bit more.
