Phil noticed that the strange boy was speaking to someone that day. The boy he was speaking to had short curly hair and he was laughing. Phil wasn't exactly sure whether he was laughing at him or with him.

So he walked closer. He recognised the other boy to be PJ (he was in his photography). "Hello." Phil said, walking up to the pair as if they were best friends.

"Hi." PJ responded and the boy he was talking to remained silent.

"Can I take a picture of you and maybe your friend?" Phil asked and PJ smiled, showing off his perfectly white teeth. Phil turned to ask the other boy but he was gone.

"Sorry, Dan isn't very good at talking to strangers." Dan. Phil finally knew the name of the stranger who refused to have his photo taken! It surely was beautiful, just like him.

"It's alright. This is for the project by the way."

"Okay. Do I just smile or what?"

"Just smile. You'll look beautiful no matter what." PJ nodded, smiling for the photo.

Dan rushed down the corridor, his heart beating rapidly in his chest. He had been so close to talking to Phil and just the thought frightened him so much.

He didn't need Phil to make him happy; he was fine the way he was. He had PJ! PJ was a great friend.

PJ may not know much about the bullying but that was okay.

Phil didn't need to know about Dan's problems as well, did he? The sunshine didn't need to meet the thunder cloud, did it?

How are you all?
