thanks for the votes/comments i rly appreciate them :))

phil was happy.
the past week had been bad; very, very bad.
but...things seemed to have changed.
only slightly mind, but dan was talking.
after another week dan was smiling.
after a few more days, dan was participating in lessons and getting on well with classmates.
chris and pj were careful around dan at first, as if they were scared he would bite them, but now they smiled and talked to each other, comfortably.
it warmed phil up inside when he saw dan smile.
he loved to see dan smile.
he loved to see dan.
he...loved dan?

"hey phil," said chris, sliding next to phil in they school hallway, "have you heard the news?"
"do i want to know the news?" phil asked, cautiously.
chris grinned, "for the end of year, the school's holding a prom, why don't you ask dan to go with you?" and with that he slid away again.
phil stared after him, gormless.
