The fantastic foursome

Chris had never gotten ready so quickly before, he was actually excited to go to college today. Seeing his two new friends again would be the best part of his day. He was out of the car in no time once his mum pulled up outside the building, waving goodbye before she left again. With a big smile on his face, he made his way into the building and up onto the 2nd floor for his first lesson.

As he reached the floor, he saw Dan waiting beside the door, he looked pretty down. Chris furrowed his eyebrows and approached him, "Hey, what's your name?" Despite already knowing he was Dan, he wanted to be extra sure. But, he just kept his head lowered, before mumbling, "Dan."

Oh thank gosh, it would've been awkward if he wasn't Dan.

"Hi, Dan, my name's Chris. I kinda noticed you were sitting alone in all the lessons yesterday, are you okay?" Dan nodded his head slowly, before lifting it to look at Chris. "Yeah, I'm just not really good with meeting new people. I prefer to be alone." He replied, his face was almost emotionless. "Oh, well. Myself and a couple of other students have kinda..formed a little group- I guess. You could sit with us and we could be friends if you'd like?"

Dan instantly smiled, which made Chris feel like some sort of superhero- being able to make someone smile was an amazing feeling. "You sure your friends won't mind?" He asked, his smile seemed to be growing even more. "I'm sure, they're very kind. I'm sure yo-" Before Chris had the chance to continue, Dan had pulled him into a tight hug. "Thank you, I really appreciate it." He muttered to Chris, before pulling away. "You're welcome." Chris smiled, turning when he saw Pj walking towards them. "Hey, walker boy." He called out with a wave.

Walker boy, he's given me a nickname already!

Chris smiled widely and waved back at Pj. "Hiya, Pj. Come here, this is Dan. Is it okay if he kinda like, joins us wherever we sit and stuff? He can be our friend-" He stepped over to Pj, lowering his voice. "Phil likes him, so I figured it'd be nice for them to start talking." Chris added. Pj smiled and nodded, stepping over to Dan. "It's cool to meet you, Dan. I'm Pj, I can't wait to get to know you more."

He's so kind, everyone needs their own Pj in life.

"Thank you, Pj, I appreciate it." Dan smiled. The three of them turned to the teacher as they unlocked the door, all of the students walking inside, but Phil wasn't here yet. The lesson was textiles, they spent the time learning about different fabrics and textures for making products. It was pretty boring.

After the lesson ended, the three of them made their was into the cafeteria, where they sat down at a small table with four chairs. They all set their bags down underneath the table, until they heard Phil calling out, "Hi guys, sorry I was late, I didn't feel like going to that lesson." Phil chuckled and sat down between Pj and Dan. "Hey, Phil. Dan's sitting with us now, I hope you don't mind." Chris spoke, a small smirk making it's way across his face as he noticed Phil was already staring at Dan with wide eyes. "N-no, uh..that's cool, hi Dan." Phil spoke nervously, before taking his gaze off of Dan.

"Y'know what, we should be a little friend group, just the four of us." Pj spoke up, before reaching down to pull a camera out of his bag- a Polaroid. "We should also have a group name. What do you guys say?" He added, before setting the camera down on the table.

Phil's eyes instantly lit up, before he slammed his hands onto the table. "The fantastic four!" He blurted out excitedly, making Pj nod with a smile. "I like it, but I think we should add something more to it, since the fantastic four is already a thing." Pj added, before looking at Dan and Chris. "Any ideas, guys?"

What could we possibly add to 'The fantastic four'?

Chris furrowed his eyebrows as he thought, before Dan gasped and raised his hand. "The fantastic foursome!" He spoke, making Phil nod in a agreement, "I like it, how about you two." Pj nodded and turned to Chris. "I like it too!" Pj smiled at Chris, making his heart beat faster. "Okay, yeah, we should go with that." Chris added, before Pj picked up his camera and bag. "We should take a picture together outside in the field, this is going to be great!" Pj bounded with excitement, before grabbing Chris' wrist to pull him up, "let's go, guys!"

And with that, they all made their way to the back field, to an area where no other students were. It was so nice out, the grass was freshly cut, there were trees all over the place, making Pj just a little more excited. "Okay, guys, this is a good spot. Let's all sit down on the grass. How about the shorter two at the front, and the taller behind them, I'll take the picture!" They all nodded to Pj's idea, before huddling together to compare heights. Chris and Dan were the two to sit at the front, with Pj and Phil sitting behind them. "Let's take different themed pictures, like the main one, then we can be all cuddly friends, and then serious and stuff like that!" Dan suggested, pushing their bags to the side. "Great idea, Dan. Let's do this!"

Pj knelt down behind Chris, leaning his head over so he could be seen in the picture, Phil doing the same behind Dan. They all smiled widely as Pj held his camera out, snapping the picture. Pj removed the photo once it was printed, before carefully placing it into his bag. "Okay, cuddle time." Pj added, before laying his head on Chris' shoulder, wrapping his free arm around his waist.

Holy shit,
He's holding me.

Chris inhaled deeply to calm his nerves, before leaning back into Pj's arm with a warm smile. Phil wrapped both of his arms around Dan's shoulders, burying his face into his neck, which made Dan squirm around uncomfortably. "Phil, I'm sorry, but I kinda don't like having my neck touched." Dan chuckled nervously, making Phil move his head into Dan's shoulder. "Sorry, sorry." They all smiled softly, before Pj took the picture.

They stayed in the field for what seemed like hours, taking many pictures. Most of them being goofy and funny, making Chris feel so calm and loved. He didn't want this moment to ever end.
