Death Of A Bachelor (Phan)

Dan's POV

It's now the next morning, and most of us guys are in the lounger surrounding the TV, watching some dumb comedy film, that i didn't find funny at all. The rest of the boys were outside on the football field, playing a game of footy, like the typical jocks, they are. I tried to converse with some of the guys, to see what they were about, most of them snubbed me or didn't care to respond but i did meet a nice goofy kinda guy named Alfie, and another goofy blonde guy named Caspar.

Caspar turned out to be really good friends with the Bachelorette's younger brother, but he's had a sort of crush on her for many years, and thought the TV show was a good opportunity to 'woo' her. I laughed at this, when he told me and also found out that Alfie, was a really sweet down to earth guy, who liked adventures, and was just looking for a little romance in his life. These were the guys that i would most likely hang with for my time of being here, well apart from Phil.

Speaking of Phil, he decided to room with me last night because we had already met, and he was too socially awkward to just walk in and claim some other room. I agreed and we stayed up talking about anime, before we went to sleep. I know we're kinda nerds okay. I look up from where I'm sitting in the lounge room to notice that Phil's not even in here. I couldn't even imagine that he would be outside playing football with those meat heads, so i turned and asked Alfie and Caspar if they had seen him. "I think he was reading in the games room" Alfie said, pointing behind him, before returning to his conversation with Caspar.

I get up and walk into the games room. The first thing i notice is Phil sitting on the large sofa, that was in the middle of the room. The second thing that i noticed was that he had his face buried deep into the book of 'Perks of being a Wallflower'. Ans the last thing i noticed, was that phi was wearing glasses. My mind 'AWWWWWED' before i shook my head and plonked onto the couch beside him, startling him, making him close his book quickly. "Don't worry Phil, it's just me" i say calmly, my dimple porting from my cheek, as i smile at him. He visibly relaxes and shakes his head, giggling at how silly he was being. "sorry Dan, i wasn't sure who it was" I look at him. "so I never knew you had glasses" I say cheekily tapping them at the bridge.

Phil blushed and took them off quickly. "Oh i look like a total nerd, don't i?" he says. "Not at all" I reassure. "I mean aren't nerds the best kind of people?"

Phil's POV

This boy, i swear, is trying to kill me. We look at each other and continue our conversation a bit further, Often drifting off onto another topic. i stop talking to look at the time on my phone. Realising that it was nearing midday, we decided to return to the lounge room to see if we were to prepare for filming today. We open the door, to find all the guys there sitting around, listening to a girl, who seemed to be giving instructions. She looks at us, when hearing the sound of the door close before beaming, and beckoning us to join.

We follow the instruction hastily, and sit amongst the group. "hello, and welcome, to the boys that have just joined us" the girl begins, "My name is Ellie and i will be acting as the host of the show. I will be the one who is giving you guys instructions on what to do, and how to act when the cameras are on. Nothing too harsh, but just a few simple rules, like no fighting, no being reckless, and don't look like total meatheads on camera" Phil and I can't help but giggle at this, because we know many of these boys already broke that rule.

"I will be the person you must come to, if you guys are experiencing any issues with yourselves or each other. Don't be shy to ask for help with anything, i will always be around somewhere. I will be staying with the Bachelorette, whom you will meet in just a moment, and we will be staying in the right wing of this building. There is to be no boys on that side of the house unless you are seeking help from me, just so we're clear" Ellie speaks, with a sparkle of excitement in her eyes, as she keeps explaining things to us.

"Now" she begins, "It's time for you all to meet the bachelorette. She will come in here and see you as a group, then she will come around to each of you individually. Please, if she is with someone else, do not butt in or i will be forced to remove you temporarily." She finished with a laugh. She then turns and opens the door that leads to the main hallway. "Zoe could you please come and introduce yourself to the boys?". The door then opens wider and another girl, Zoe i assume, Walks in.

"Everyone this is Zoe Sugg!" Ellie exclaims, excitedly. Im not gonna lie the girl is stunning. She was pretty thin, but had quite a nice physique and short dyed-blonde hair. She had bright blue eyes, that were a similar shade to mine, and rosy cheeks which made her look cute and innocent. She waved hello to the group of us, before Ellie told us to continue what we were doing before, so Zoe could come around to us.

She spent a while making her way across the room, speaking to all the boys, so I decided to chat with Dan again in that time. I noticed that no matter how stunning Zoe is, something always brought my mind back to Dan. Zoe finally reached us and decided to talk to us together. She told us that she was happy to meet us and giggled at our socially awkwardness. when we were finished talking, she told us that we'd all definitely get along together, before bidding us goodbye, and leaving the room altogether.

This show might actually let me have a good time, while i'm here.
