Phil's POV:

I looked up and froze. Emm continued laughing as she hasn't realise that I'd stopped. My heart was racing. I was staring deep into these chocolate brown eyes. They just seemed make me feel all warm and then I got an image of me melting into the floor.

Those eyes. I tried to focus on the rest of the person. Okay so his eyes were very distracting but then suddenly, I realised who it was and I wanted to kick myself. Dan Howell.

Shit! I thought to myself. Well done Phil, you may have just made eye contact with the one person in the world you hate and think you were in love with them. Brilliant.

No,I told myself, it's a trick. Dan had used it on everyone and now he was going to try it on Emm but Phil was not going to let that happen. He spun away from Dan and suddenly missed his sight already. Despite everything, Dan was beautiful and Phil would so be interested, if he had a better personality!

No! What was going on? I hate Dan, I thought to myself, even if he is beautiful. Goddammit Phil stop! My brain was screaming at me and I couldn't control myself. I felt angry but yet I had a image of myself going over and flirting with Dan. Sweet Jesus, I was going crazy.
"Emm!" I whispered urgently. "What the fuck is he doing hanging out with you?!?" I asked.
"Who? Dan?" She asked, keeping her voice as low as mine. "He offered to come help me find you. He's quite funny actually."
"Great to know." I whispered, making the sarcasm clear in my voice. "Does Anni know he's with you?"
"Well she saw us talking but the Chris and Pj came along so, I dunno." She shrugged her shoulders and looked up at me. Her boots only brought us barely face to face.

"Is there some problem Phil?" She asked, her voice sounding concerned.
"Nah, it's fine, let's go eat lunch!' I said, trying to hide the discomfort in my voice. Emm and I turned around and Dan was gone. Poof. Like he was never there.
Good.

I pushed Dan out of my mind and tried to focus on my conversation with Emm. Soon enough, we were outside and heading towards the big oak tree, which had two happy couples making out underneath it. I glanced around looking for someone and then I realised who could I be looking for?!?
I knew that deep down I was looking for Dan and when I couldn't see him anywhere, I was almost happy. Almost.

*time skip, 5 minutes til school is over and yep still Phil's POV*

I was sitting in my last class, English, and I couldn't concentrate. Emm had said that Dan was missing from her music class and now he was missing English too. Dan didn't skip class. See he may have been a whore and an asshole, but he never skipped class. I shouldn't have been worried but I was.

I couldn't understand it. One minute, I hate the guy then next thing you know, I can't get him out of my head! I suddenly felt very warm and I knew I need to get out of here now. I glanced at the clock. 5 minutes left. I couldn't wait that long.

I put my hand up and asked Ms. McBride could I go to the bathroom. She always liked me and didn't mind students going to the bathroom, so she let me go without a second glance. On the way out, Emm and Anni shot me concerned glances, I gave them a quick smile and then I was out the door.

I headed to the bathroom at the end of the hall and when I walked in, I stopped dead in my tracks. There was a muffled sound coming from one of the stalls. It sound like someone was crying. I entered the boys toilets as quietly as I could and saw that it was a boy in one of the stalls. They were muttering something to themselves. I tiptoed closer and listened. It was hard to hear them through all the sniffling but it sounded like they were saying, "You're worthless. You're not worth anything good in life. You cause people so much pain and everybody hates you." Over and over again, just the same thing.

I didn't know who they were but I automatically felt sorry for them. I don't know what came over me but suddenly I was knocking on the stall door and asking it they were okay. The sniffling stopped and I hear them gasp.
" It's okay. I won't hurt you. I'll even leave it that's what you want?" I said, pleading with the boy to say something.

Slowly, the stall door opened and a familiar voice said, "Don't mention this to anyone, please."
I was shocked, but I couldn't stop myself. I pulled the broken boy into my arms. Dan Howell was crying into my shoulder.

I was a mix of emotions and thoughts, but one clear thought rose above all the others.
What is going on?!?
