//I SUCK AT WRITING RIP//
Dan wakes up and groans as the morning air flooding into his room freezes him almost instantly. He sits up and looks down at his camcorder on his bedside table. In one swoop he has the electronic device in his grasp and is already turning on. He presses record and yawns, rubbing his eyes.

"Hello guys, it is currently.."
He checks his watch and inwardly groans. "Six A.M" he says between gritted teeth. "And I have to go to school, but I guess you guys can have a morning routine."

Dan sets his camcorder up facing his mirror and smiles.

"The first thing I gotta do is get dressed, of course." He pauses the recording and picks out a pink skirt along with a light pink sweater. He resumes the recording and smiles, liking his outfit.

"This is what I have chosen.." He says doing a 360 and giggling as his skirt twirls. "Second is my hygiene"

*time skippidy skip to when he is done with everything*

"And that is my morning routine!" Dan says before doing his outro. "Subscribe for more, and have a wonderful day, bye guys!"

He ends the video and smiles, uploading without editing. He grabs his lilac backpack and walks out, seeing his father passed out drunk on the couch. He sighs and walks out the doors.

He looks up at the cloud filled sky, frowning as he sees no trace of sun or any blue pigment. He picks up his pace, wanting to get to school in one piece.

Dan pulls his arms up to his shoulders as he shivers, realising his sweater was not thick enough. He looks down at the cobblestone streets and hums the lyrics of 'astronaut' by simple plan. Before he knows it he's at the gates of his hell and frowns when he sees everybody huddled around a boy laying down, obviously in pain.

"I heard the new kid did it."

"Yeah, me too."

"I heard the new kid does drugs."

"I saw him walking to school smoking."

"Well I say he was high."

Dan listens to all the rumours and hushed whispers. Out of nowhere, all of the kids gasp and move aside. Dan sees him.

The boy has a black fringe, going the opposite was as dans when her straightens it. He had a very pale skin tone, almost the same as Ivory. He was wearing a black shirt that fit him very well, followed by some black skinny jeans and red converse. He had glasses that fit his Atlantic eyes perfectly and had cheekbones that could cut metal.

He can't be that bad, can he?

The bell rings for first period and everybody scatters in different directions, hurrying to their homerooms.

As Dan walks to his homeroom, he senses somebody behind him which is confusing since nobody ever goes the same way as Dan. As he turns around, he sees the same boy as before and grins, loving to make new friends.

"Hello! My name is Dan" Dan says as he slows his pace so the boy can catch up to him. The boy seems speechless and frowns and Dan.

"Phil."

"Hello, Phil, are you new here?"

Phil grunts in response and picks up his pace. "Look, stay away from me kid."

Dan stops in his tracks and frowns. He begins to skip to Phil and smiles at the boy once more. "What's your favourite animal, Phillip?"

"It's Phil."

"Is Phil short for Phillip?"

"Yes, now get the fuck out of my face."

Dan flushes at the cruel words and stops skipping, walking into his homeroom and sits in the back. He can hear a faint "fuck" and looks up to see Phil standing over him. Dan looks around the room to see no other open seats besides the one right in front of Dan and laughs nervously, looking down.

The class passes with no events and Dan gets up, running into Phil who pushes Dan.

"Watch out, homo!" Phil yells as he walks out of the classroom.

For some reason, Dan is drawn to the black haired, blue eyes boy, and he is determined to become his friend.

And wow, does Dan have his work set out for him.

Dan spends his next period chewing on an eraser, his head up in space. Why?

Why did Phil not want to speak to Dan?

Why did he call Dan a 'homo' and push him for no good reason?

Where did he get those converse?

"Daniel?" His teacher, mister Montgomery asked. "Did you hear anything that just went on?"

Dans face turns a slight shade of pink as he looks down at his blank paper that he was supposed to have filled up with notes.

"Uh, n-no sir" he says anxiously.

"W-w-what was that, Howell?" Asked a kid, Josh.

The class roared with laughter because oh, isn't he just oh so funny?

Dan avoided the boy and looked directly at the teacher, apologising and beginning to doodle.

***

Dan stands in the lunch line, looking down at his phone and smiling. He was reading the comments from today's video, they always seem to cheer him up.

"Awwe, I wish I had that outfit! No fair :("

"Homo"

"Your hair is super cute!"

"Be my boyfriend 😩😍"

"Where did you get that outfit?"
"I believe he buys blank sweaters and makes the patterns"

As Dan was in the middle of replying to some of the comments, he felt his head get pushed forward as if somebody had hit him with something. He turned around to see Phil walking by, not even caring that he had just elbowed Dan in the back of the head.

"Rude, much?" Dan muttered and the whole cafeteria went silent.

The jangling of chains on Phils backpack occurs as he turns to face Dan.

"What did you say, homo?" He said in a snarky tone and stepped closer.

Dan turned completely white and put his head down.

"Do I need to repeat myself?"

Dan shook his head and whimpered quietly before putting his head up, just for it to be smashed into his mashed potatoes.

"That's what I thought."

This was going to be one long year..

Oki guys that's it for now :) thanks for reading, I think? And have a great day/night!
