2 | Dan

Phil looked at the face which owned the kind eyes he'd already grown to like. He was male, and he had brown hair and a fringe which swept across his forehead. The boy looked around twenty, with prominent cheekbones and long eyelashes, and Phil thought that made a lovely combination.
The younger boy looked back at Phil, and then Phil realised he'd been staring. Goddamn it Phil, you've been here an hour and already came across as rude he thought to himself.
However, the young boy didn't faulter, and began to speak to Phil.

"Hello, I'm Dan Howell and I've been asked to come and give you these timetables by Duncan" he said, and Phil nodded, with his heart beating a million miles an hour, if possible "I've been a leader here for two years now, so Duncan trusts me, don't quite know why" Dan chuckled and then handed Phil the papers.

"Is Pj in this one too? I'm supposed to be giving one to each of you"

Phil felt relieved when he was able to finally talk to this boy who seemed like he had quite an outgoing personality.

"Y-yeah, Pj is in here too, I think he's busy at the moment b-but I can give it to him" Phil answered stuttering on his words and cursing to himself in his head, how embarrassing he thought, however the taller boy smiled back at him.

"Great! Hopefully I'll be seeing more of you two tomorrow. Have a nice evening!"

"And y-you" Phil said before Dan turned around to walk back down the steps before quickly turning around.

"Have you been in the pool yet?" Dan asked, taking Phil by surprise, and made him panic slightly.

"uh, actu- n-no actually" he replied and Dan's jaw dropped.

"Seriously? It's so nice and heated and-" Phil interrupted him in his moment of panic. "I can't swim"

Dan looked shocked before a smirk appeared on his face. "Our activity on Thursday is actually raft building, you don't have to go in but it's so much fun if you do. You can really get involved"

Phil looked down, "Oh" he said, disappointed in himself.

"Buuuut" Dan started, "I can help you if you want"

Phil looked confused at Dan's proposition. What was he implying?

"You know, I'll give you some tips and stuff. It'll be fun! I know what it's like to see people doing things and not being able to do it and I don't want you to feel like that" Dan told him, and Phil thought for a second before making his mind up. It'll be nice to learn something new and possibly make a new friend, so why not? He just needed to over come these nerves. 

"Yeah, I'll do that with you" he said, making a small amount of eye contact with Dan and his brown eyes seemed to sparkle.

"That's great! I'll meet you at the pool tomorrow at 6?" Dan asked, and Phil nodded. "Okay! See you tomorrow Phil"

"Bye Dan" Phil replied and Dan walked down the steps and back to his lodge.

"Phil! Who was that?" Pj called, and Phil returned back onto his previous position on the sofa and looked at his timetable.

"It was Dan, he's another leader and he just gave me our timetables for the activities"

Phil handed Pj's timetable to him and then looked at his own. He felt excited but also nervous about the next day. Dan seemed nice but he also realised he didn't know the boy at all and he had accepted to be taught how to swim by him. He'd always wanted to learn but he'd never found the right time, however, now seemed right.

"Was he nice?" Pj asked.

"Who?" Phil replied, not really paying attention.

"They guy.. Dan was it? Was he nice?"

"Yeah he was actually, he's been working here for two years. At least I know someone now who I can ask if I need help I suppose" Phil smiled, it made him feel comforted that he'd have someone to turn to if Pj wasn't around.

"That's great. I think I'm going to bed Phil. Going to watch some Netflix" Phil laughed at the fact Pj has just got into a new place and felt settled enough to just relax and watch something on his laptop, much unlike himself who probably won't get a lot of sleep in a new bed for at least a week.

When Pj had left the room Phil has also made his way to his small bedroom and began to unpack. The bedroom was complete with a double bed, a bedside table and a lamp, and a wardrobe and some drawers. He began to unpack all his clothes, black jeans and a few pairs of shorts, bright coloured t shirts and a sweater just in case it got cold at night. He got out his swimsuit and remembered he'll need it tomorrow so he lay the blue shorts on top of his chest of drawers, before resuming to unpack. He could hear Pj watching Supernatural through the thin wall, the only thing he didn't particularly like about Pj, he always insisted on watching his shows very loud.

When he'd finished, Phil took off his jeans and his socks, and also his shirt, he'd worn his favourite plaid one, he wanted to make a good impression. He lay in bed and thought about his first day at this new place, and how although he felt he'd worry quite a bit. However he'd got Pj's support and hopefully Dan's too, and he was really excited to get to know the boy with chocolate brown eyes better.
