Troye's pov ✨

"Troye wake up! Breakfast starts in 5 minutes!" Dan yells pulling the covers off me.

"Remind me why I gave you a key to my room?!" I snap opening my eyes and allowing them to adjust to the light.

"Because you knew that if you didn't, you would never wake up!" He say throwing a t-shirt at me and then a pair of jeans.

I quickly change and hairspray my curls into place. I pull on a pair of black vans and stuff my phone in my jeans pocket.

"Dan? Did you notice the new person?" I ask as we walk to Phil's room.

"Yeah. Apparently his name is Connor Franta. He came here from Sydney. He seems different to others. Like he's hiding something." Dan relays.

Dan has a skill for judging a person's personality just from looking at them. Everyone he has every tried to do it to, he has succeeded! He also has a way of making friends really easily. Me on the other hand, I hate talking o people and meeting new people.

As we stop outside Dan and Phil's room, Dan unlocks the door and pushes it open. Phil smiles at Dan and kisses him softly.

"Ready to go babe?" Phil says and Dan nods slightly.

They grab each others hands and we walk through the halls to breakfast.

"So I heard that Connor was awake at 3 in the morning today. And before that I heard really loud shouts. I think he was having a really bad nightmare. Dan? What do you think?" Phil asks.

"H... He seems like a person who has b... Bad dreams." Dan stutters nervous. He is always nervous with their affection being public.

When Dan came out to his parents, they disowned him. They ended up kicking him out and as he was dating Phil, Phil and his family took him in.

I smile at the two of them and think about my own coming out experience. Of course I told my older brother Steele first. I wanted to make sure that he accepted me. When I told him, he accepted me and even helped me tell Sage and Tyde. And then all three of them helped me tell my parents and they too accepted me being gay.

As we walking into the dining room, I spot Lilly and Hannah sat in our usual seats. I sit in my spot next to Lilly and load my plate with toast and honey. I eat it slowly and saviour that taste.

I look over at where Connor and his friends are sitting and see him smiling and laughing whilst talking to Zoe.

Connor's pov ✨

I smile and laugh at Zoe who's hair is standing up on end.

"Shut up Connor! I got up late and didn't have time to shower." She says grumpily. I stifle my giggles and look over to where Troye is sitting with his friends.

I realise that he is and was looking at me today and yesterday. He doesn't seem like the kind of person to have many friends. Maybe the four that he sit with are his only friends.

I look directly into his eyes. They are a striking grey colour. His hair is curly again and I can't help but wonder if it is his natural hair. I look away and down at my plate off food.

Just the sight of the amount of calories that are on my plate makes my stomach flip. I down my glass of juice before joining in to whatever conversation Zoe and Tyler are having.

"Zoe, I swear if you try to make me eat some fruit, I will shove a strawberry so far down your neck, it will come out the same as it goes in!" Tyler yells. I look at Zoe and she looks at me and we both burst out laughing.

I pick up a slice of bread and butter from my plate and cut it into small pieces. I chew the pieces slowly trying not to swallow.

"May I please have your attention?" The head master says, standing up. I turn and look at her.

"I would like to welcome you back to school. Or welcome to the school to our new students. Classes start at 11 tomorrow. Each student has a unique timetable which should be outside your rooms after breakfast. Each student has also be given 4 notebooks and their own set of black pens. Students should only write in black. Now continued with breakfast and then have a good day." The headmaster says before continuing his breakfast.

After we are all finished we all trudge back to our rooms. I smile as I pick up my phone.

"Tyler?" I say and he looks over at me. "Where is the dance studio? I was given unlimited access and I really feel like dancing." I stutter, putting my dance clothes and point shoes into my bag.

"I'll take you down there and we'll grab Zoe on the way. She takes dance too." Tyler says putting his phone and laptop into a bag.

We leave our room and walk over to the girls block. I follow Tyler to the room which has Zoe and Louise written on board next to the door.

Tyler bangs in the door and Zoe opens it wearing gym equipment.

"Zoeeee are you coming down to the studio? Connor wants to dance and you know the best wifi is down there!" Tyler pleads.

"I was just heading down there myself, so I guess I'll join you. Just let me grab Louise and my stuff." She says before shutting the door and leaving Tyler and I awkwardly standing in the hallway.

She returns a few minutes later with a dance bag similar to mine and Louise by her side. We all start our travel to the dance studio, me following the other three.

As we stop outside the door, I hand Zoe my key.

"They gave them a key to the studio! Damn you must be good!" She laughs sweetly.

We enter the room and I automatically plug my phone into the speakers. I scroll through my music until i find the song I want.

I press play and allow the music to fill the room. I dance forgetting everything.
