[Dan's POV]

   First day, and wow I'm nervous. I put on my fall out boy t-shirt and my black skinny jeans, and I straighten my hair.

   I walk out of my room to see Amelia standing outside with two coffees and a brown bag that smells an awful lot like pancakes.

   'Hey!' she says. 'Couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd get some breakfast. Unless you've already eaten...'

'No, no,' I say, although I already have. She hands me a coffee cup and a very thin, large pancake.

'Oh god, sorry. I forgot your pancakes are different to ours. I just made them without thinking...'

I laugh at her worried face, before taking a huge bite of the [delicious] pancake. She giggles and links arms with me as we walk down to class.

   'Where's Phil?' I ask, surprised that she ditched her best friend for me.

   'A girl called Summer came calling for him earlier. Offered to take me around too, but I didn't really want to be a third wheel...'

'Wait, did she say her surname?' I ask.

'Yeah, I think her name is Summer Holiday...' she says.

'Oh no,' I say, remembering the name. 'Summer Holiday used to got to my old school. She was a total manipulative bítçh. Her only friend was this unsuspecting, popular girl. She had a boyfriend as well - but she only went out with him to get back at her previous bf. We all hated her.'

'Oh no!' her face contorts with confusion and anger. 'Phil is absolutely smitten with her. Should I tell him?'

'Yeah. I wouldn't let him get hurt.' I say, although, to be honest, I don't care if that guy gets hurt or not. I don't really like him.

   'No, wait!' She says, looking at me seriously. 'You should tell him!'

   'Me?!' I say, surprised. 'Why me?!'

   She laughs: 'I dunno. You guys really need to bond. Maybe that will help?...'

   'Ok...' I say, as we walk into our first classroom. It's huge and there are cameras everywhere.

   I am about to sit down next to Amelia when a beautiful woman walks in. That's the teacher?! At least I have Amelia-

   'Ok, class, I have a seating plan. I will do the register then I'll tell you your pairs. These are the people you will do extended projects with. If you have a real problem with them, just come talk to me.'

   Great.

   'Ok; Jack Barakat?'

   'Yes.'

   After Jack it is Jessica Carnit, Luke Cutforth, Joshua Dun, Catherine Eden, Vic Fuentes and Alex Gaskarth.

   'Dan Howell?'

   'Yes,' I say, trying to sound bold and manly.

   After me its Andrew [Andy] Hurley, Tyler Joseph, Chris Kendall, Frank Iero, Alexandria Knut, Phil, Pascal Liguori [who immediately corrects his name to PJ] and Kellin Quinn.

   Then there's Ryan Ross, Brendon Urie, Spencer Smith, and Jon Walker. I've met those four - as well as taking film, they are taking music. They are thinking of starting a band.

   Lastly, there's Patrick Stump, Abi Tanei, Joe Trohman, Amelia, Gerard Way, Peter Wentz and Hayley Williams. Then she puts up a list at the front. It has our extended project partners on it.

   Great. I'm with Phil. Well, maybe it will make it less awkward between us.

   I look at Amelia, who gives me a thumbs up before going to sit with a red haired girl called Hayley Williams. I sit down next to Phil. This is going to be a looooonnnggg year.
