Chapter Fifteen

Dan's P.O.V.

     It's been four days since I found out that Phil was SnowDude. We've talked a lot more in art. It's nice knowing him better. I know to some it may seem soon, but I think I like Phil more than friends. Then again I've technically known him for three years. He told me that today Gene and the others were planning to beat me up. This was the day we'd stand up to them. And stop them. Hopefully. At lunch I got a text from Phil asking how. I told him he'd find out at the time.

Just wait Gene. Just wait. Today, you're going to be the one in trouble.

Gene's P.O.V.

"Phil, are you sure you don't like that f**? The two of you seemed really giggly in class today." I ask him tapping my foot in front of his locker. What is taking that boy so long?

"Well...y-you see--oh look th-there he is!" Phil points down the hallway to where Dan is walking casually. He's acting strange, but I'll just ignore it for now.

"Alright, get ready guys." I stare at Dan. He has his head kept down. He keeps walking until he accidentally walks into Phil's chest. Dan looks and smiles slightly with a soft giggle and possibly with a small blush. You could read him like a book right now. No wonder he was so giggly in art today.

"Aww, does Danny have a crush?" I tease him seeing the way he just looked at Phil. Come on, you can't tell me he doesn't like him. "Sorry to say this but your gay is showing. Also, it's not very pretty so you should just put it away."

"So...why does that matter? I think it's cute no matter which way I go, girls or boys." He tries to get past us. I let him go a few steps. Now is the time to strike.

"GET HIM!" I yell out and all at once it seems as Dan turns to Phil and mouths something as Phil pushes him out the way to block him from Nick and Jack.

"DON'T!" Phil pushes us back as hard as he can. So he really does care for this f**. Fucking f**s.

"So, you do like him? Huh Phil?" I cross my arms. He looks a bit scared. He should be. Even though Phil is taller than me, I'm stronger. Just a simple fact.

"Yes, and I'll protect him. I tired of all of this. Every single time I had to hurt someone I always mumbled apologies and I'm sick of it. They don't mean anything if I keep hurting them. I'm not going to fight anymore, just protect my...bear!" Phil gets in front of Dan who looks shocked and slightly blushing. Bear? Ew. I hear an 'aw' come from Nick and Jack to see small smiles on their faces. I give them a glare and they're gone faster than the speed of sound. Lets just get this over with.

"Really, you'll protect him," I ask, cocking my head to side. "Well, try to protect yourself first." I give Phil a punch to the face and he stumbles back a bit knocking into Dan slightly. Distracted and unexpected simple. Phil turns to Dan to see if he's ok. Dan tried to warn him as I bring him to the ground. Too late, Howell. I'm about to start kicking him until I hear a voice echo from down the hallways.

"Hey, stop right now!" I look and see one of the history teachers, Mr. Sam. He begins running down the hall towards us. Shit.

"Thanks for coming Mr. Sam." Dan says reaching a hand out for Phil to take. He pulls him to his feet. What's going on? Did they team up? Oh no I'm screwed.

"So, tell me. What exactly happened?" Mr. Sam crosses his arms looking at us. I try to think of something to say, nothing comes up. I'll just say a word and see where I can go with that.

"Well," I pause. 'What exactly happened' I think of what he just said. Wait, he didn't see. "Phil and Dan were trying to beat the three of us up! So, uh, I had to protect ourselves! Yeah...that's it..." The last part I say softly so only I can hear it.

"Really, then let's see what the camera says," Dan points up to the camera. Psh, like that would tell a story. "You're about to busted and so is your fake story."

"He's lying, plus that camera has been broken ever since the last day of school last year during the hallway rush." I give a mischievous smile. Let's see you get out of this.

"Actually, that camera was fixed over Winter Break Gene. Now come on boys, let's go to the office. You have to come along too Phil. I don't exactly remember Dan mentioning you as part of the 'good' guys." I stumble back. So that camera just caught everything I did and possibly said. Shit. Now I've gotta go to the office with Mr. Sam. There's not going to be a way out of this.

Dan's P.O.V.

I'm waiting outside the school for Phil to come out. After a while of waiting, he appears through the door, but also with a slightly annoyed Gene, Jack, and Nick. Phil walks over to me and he looks...mediocrely ok?

"Hey, how'd it go in there?" I ask him. He sways a bit to the left.

"Well, I came clean about beating people up and I'm now suspended for three days, but it's better than the others who have a whole week. They gave me less days after finding about my whole situation." Phil scratches the back off his head and smiles. When he smiles his tongue pokes out a bit. It's so adorable.

"Couldn't you just lie and say you didn't do it?" I cock my head slightly to the side. I mean, I'd probably do that so I don't get in huge trouble.

"Well, no...I mean I could! But, uh, they others would probably tell me off. Heh. Also I would feel really bad." He giggles a bit. What did I do to deserve this beautiful angel?

"Hey Phil," he looks down a bit at me since he's slightly taller, but I'll probably overpass him one day. "You, uh, want to come over to my place?"

"Yeah sure, that sounds like fun! Bear." Aw. Phil used that nickname again. I like it.

"Ok, my lion."

*****

Ok can we focus on how cute Tyler and Jenna are for a little bit? Take all the time you need before I add more Dan and Phil to this.

So if you're reading this I'll assume your dun (pun tee hee hee). Ok imagine Dan and Phil as Tyler and Jenna in Tear In My Heart. I don't know about you guys but that sounds really cute to me.

Thanks~
