Chapter one

Dan's POV
Phil didn't understand. Elizabeth had been my best friend for four years. He wasn't allowed to just step in and take her away from me. I wanted her to be my girlfriend but Phil seemed to have the same idea. He hates me. I know it, he's only doing this to spite me, and he doesn't actually love Elizabeth like I do. She's so beautiful. Tall and pale with the softest brown hair and these beautiful eyes that change from brown to green to grey. I've always been fascinated by people whose eye colour changes. She's seventeen but is actually in the same year as Phil as her birthday isn't for another month, so she'll be turning eighteen at the end of this year.
It's the end of May so my birthday isn't for another two weeks. It's weird to think that she'll be eighteen while I'm still sixteen even though we're only a year apart. I've known Phil for two years. He joined our school for sixth form and I very much wish he hadn't. As soon as he arrived he began picking on me and teasing me because I didn't have any friends in my own year.
Currently, I was glaring at the back of Phil's head as he sat with Elizabeth two tables in front of me. We all had a free period so we were in the study room but Phil had sat next to Elizabeth before I even got into the classroom. They were giggling quietly at something Phil was showing her on his phone.
My eyes widened when he turned to look at me, a smirk on his face before leaning into Elizabeth to press a kiss to her cheek. My eyes narrowed at the way she blushed and giggled, placing her hand on his arm. But she looked a little awkward. Maybe she really didn't like him after all. I watched as she said something to him and he nodded before backing away from her slightly. So maybe she really doesn't like him.
Before I could get my hopes too high, I saw that she was laughing again and looking at him the way she usually looks at me. That dick. He's over stepped his boundaries.
The bell went a couple of minutes later, indicating that it was lunch. I immediately got up out of my seat and headed over to Elizabeth who was in the middle of packing her bag up. "Hey, Elizabeth, are you coming to have lunch with me?" I asked, smiling brightly at her. Not a day has gone by where she hasn't sat with me. So it will be nice to have some alone time without Phil around.
"Actually, Dan, Beth is having lunch with me today." Phil interjected, standing closely behind Elizabeth. I glared at him when I heard the stupid nickname. She told me that she prefers Elizabeth. So why is she smiling so much even when he used a dumb nickname?
"I'm sorry, Danny, maybe tomorrow." She said and she genuinely looked apologetic. And even though I knew she was sorry, the nickname annoyed me. Since when was I 'Danny' and since when did she give people nicknames. This is stupid.
"Okay. I'll see you tomorrow then!" I cheered, not wanting Phil to have the satisfaction of seeing me upset. I gave her a fleeting hug before leaving the study room and heading to the lunch area. However, when I got there I realised that I had no one to sit with. I cautiously approached the table that Elizabeth and I usually sat at and took a seat. I stared around the hall aimlessly, hoping that perhaps someone would want to sit with me. It wasn't long before Phil and Elizabeth walked in, laughing stupidly at a joke I would never know before sitting with all of Phil's friends. They didn't even glance my way.
Twenty minutes of sitting at the table in silence passed and I decided to just plug in my ear phones and listen to music while playing some games I had on my phone. Just as I put on my music and plugged my earphones in, I saw Phil walk past my table. I watched him as he walked over to the water machine and poured a glass. He gulped it down next to the machine, his rose lips parted slightly to allow the water to pass through and his throat constricted slightly as he swallowed. His jaw was relaxed and his shoulders higher than usual. He put the cup down and began walking gracefully back to his seat.
That dick.
I looked away and turned my attention back to my phone where I turned my music up louder and started playing random games.
