Chapter 1- Phil's Background/school

~Phils Pov~
My name is Phil, growing up I haven't really ever had any friends. I've always been quiet so nobody really ever tried to get to know me.
To distract myself from my thoughts, I started making YouTube videos, there's some really nice comments I see and I love seeing them. Others not so much, but they're just stupid trolls anyways.
Growing up, my father was abusive and so when people yell or get angry or even act as if they're going to hit me, I flinch away.
I was bullied at school for being gay and I still am to this day, but now it doesn't bother me as much, or I don't let it get to me.

"Phil! Wake up!" My mothers voice came from downstairs.
I slowly climb out of bed and shuffle to my closet to find some clothes to wear.
I decide on my red plaid shirt and some black skinny jeans. I throw on my Jake Adventure Time hoodie and slowly walk downstairs.
"Breakfast?" My mother happily asked.
"No not today, thank you mum." I say at barely a whisper.
I grab my bag and head off to school. As I was walking I heard a series of names being thrown at me. So I decided to just put in some earphones and drown out everything they were saying.

I got to my first hour class to see that there was a new student at the front of they room.
He's got almost the same haircut as me.. And a nice muse band tee on.. He's really good looking.. I wonder what his name is.
I sat at my table in the back of the room, where I always sit because nobody else sits here.
"Okay, class, we have a new student today. His name is Dan Howell. Dan, you can choose anywhere in the classroom you'd like to sit."
Dan nodded and slowly made his way back to the table I was sitting at. He sat down and smiled.
"Hello, my name is [Dan]" He smiled again.
I blushed and I'm sure he noticed. That smile was just so perfect.
"I-I'm Philip but you can call me Phil... Phil Lester.. Nice to meet you.." I smiled
"Nice to meet you too, Philip."
I smiled at the sound of his voice saying my name.
"So, Phil, what kind of music are you in to?" Dan asked me quietly so the teacher wouldn't hear.
"Well I really love muse.." I said shyly pointing down to his shirt.
He smiled and nodded his head in approval.
As the bell rang he slipped a piece of notebook paper into the pocket of my hoodie. I looked at him and he smiled and walked out of the room while muttering a "Text me later, Philip."
I couldn't contain my smile as I walked to my next class.
I sat in the back like always and got my phone out and entered my first contact.
Dan Howell :)
I texted him a simple

Hi, It's Philip. :)

Not even a minute later my phone buzzed and excitement washed through me as I read

Hai, Philip :)

Dan's POV
I actually thought Phil was really cute. I don't know why I got so nervous around him though. I'd really love to hang out with him sometime. So I quickly typed before class started

Oh, and also.. Want to hang out sometime? You seem really cool and I'd love to get to know you.

Nervousness rushed through me as I pressed send. He responded quickly with

Of course, I'd love to. Maybe tonight at my place after school?

I sent him a message back, agreeing and telling him to meet me at my locker after last period.
