Phil's POV 

Walking down the corridor at school in a strange way I kind of enjoy it. As I walk I can watch people cower away from me not wanting to get caught in my way. It sounds bad but I like knowing that I am feared by people it makes me feel like I have some sort of power over other people at school. 

I am walking through the corridor with my group of friends I am leading the way obviously because I am the most popular and I know that people fear me the most. Also I know most of the people that follow me are only part of this group so I don't beat them up. You see at this school you are either one of my friends, invisible or my punching bag. 

I can hear the school buzzing around me because there is a new student joining us today and my school is rather small so gossip spreads like wildfire you can't trust anyone not even the teachers if you have a secret you want to stay hidden best not to tell anyone anything about it. I'm not going to lie and say I don't enjoy the gossip because I do it gives me something to use against people when they cross me but I don't like it about me so that's why people think I have no feelings because I share nothing. 

*ring ring* 

Ahh my favourite sound of all the bell showing the start of another lovely day at school is what I would say if I actually liked school but unfortunately that isn't how I feel about this situation at all. I slowly start to drag myself down the corridor towards my first lesson completely ignoring my so called friends. Once I reach the classroom I head to my desk alone at the back of the classroom once I am sat down I get my ipod out of my pocket and choose an album to listen to so I don't have to listen to the boring class that is going on around me. Just as I am about to put my headphone in my ear I hear the teacher clear her throat "listen up class as you are all aware we have a new student joining us today his name is Daniel Howell and I hope you all make him feel very welcome" I drop my headphones and they make a loud clatter as the drop to the table and everyone turns round and looks at me. I suddenly remember the shocked expression plastered on my face and replace it with a cold one and growl "what the hell are you looking at". Once I say that everyone looks back at him and the teacher at the front of the class. 

I doubt he will remember me but just to be on the safe side I am going to stay completely away from him because if I don't that kid wont have a life to live. "Right Daniel it seems there is only once seat left in the class so would you please go and sit next to Phil at the back" he looks uneasy and I can see something flash through his eyes fear maybe but none the less he still slowly makes his way over to me. You have to be kidding me I am going to have to sit next to that thing and guaranteed that because he is sat with me now other teachers will put us together because they think we are friends or something. But let me tell you one thing I will never be friends with that waste of oxygen. 

I am suddenly snapped out of my thoughts when he sits down beside me I turn around and I can see fear written all over his face and now I can see that it is obvious that he remembers what happened between us as well. "Listen here okay faggot I don't want you sat here and I don't want to talk to you or even breath the same air as you so here's the deal you are going to stay out of my way at all times and don't ever speak to me and if you break these rules I will make sure you know about it. He quickly nods looking even more frightened than he did before and I don't blame him even though I don't exactly know how I'm going to make him pay if he does break the rules I know I will manage to come up with something in the moment. 

 I spend the rest of the lesson in silence just listening to my music through my headphones and doodling a few pictures in the back of my book trying to avoid contact with the thing next to me as much as I can. I check the time and I see that the bell is about to ring for next lesson but luckily I have a free period so I out my book in my bag and prepare to leave. When the bell rings I am ready to leave but just as I am about to I hear someone say "I'm sorry" I know exactly who it is so I spin round and look him dead in the eye and say "did you not listen to a single word I said before about not speaking to me, you know I was just going to ignore you before you did that and let you have a painless experience at this school but I guess you don't like to stick to the rules now do you Dan?" He looks up at me and opens his mouth as if he was going to say something to me but I guess he figured that it was best not do do that since straight after he shut his mouth and looked down "as I thought" I muttered and walked out of the classroom.

I practically run to the back of school because I know no one will be there and I have a very important and private phone call to make. Once I get to the back of school I stop and make sure no one has seen me or followed me once I am sure I am alone I pull out my phone and call my only friend PJ. After a couple of rings he picks up "hey Phil" I hear his voice ring through my ear it annoys me how he can always be so happy but that's beside the point " hey Peej umm I have a problem he is back Dan is back Peej what should I do?" I am almost worried about what he might say "hurt him Phil hurt him like he hurt you" and with that he hung up and left me alone with my thoughts. What am I going to do, do I hurt him like he hurt me or do I forgive him? 

I don't know what to do...


 Dan's POV 

Why did my mum have to get a job here? I thought I was finally done with all of this. I thought I had seen the last of Phil. he clearly still blames me for what happened all those years ago. But why?
