*over analytical brain*

Dan's POV:

As I sit silently eating my lunch I can't help but take glances at Phil. I noticed him from earlier, but now I think he might actually become my friend. I only have one friend, PJ. He's been there for me through a lot. He's kinda all I have. But now I might actually make a second friend. Whoa I just realized how sad and depressing I sound.

"When did you become a mute?" Phil asked with a cautious smile.

I started to sign to PJ, since Phil didn't know sign language, PJ had to translate.

"He said that he's been mute for three years." Pj started "But I can justify that even before he went completely mute he was quite quiet and kept to him self mostly, but at least he talked. Unlike now you lazy ass. Who knew you could be so lazy not to even want to talk anymore." Pj said with a smirk. This was our sense of humour. Sarcastic and sounding like an arrogant asshole on purpose. Phil started to chuckle under his breath.  I dont know whether he could pick up the sarcasm or not. I looked at Pj so that he could translate my next signs, but he wasn't looking. I started tapping on the table to get his attention. But he was purposefully ignoring me.

"Sorry Daniel Howell, But if you want my attention then you must say my name." Pj said. With his head held high. This situation was stressing me out. I couldn't do it. I tried to make my mouth for the name PJ, but I couldn't do it. No noise would come out, I dont even think I was mouthing his name correctly either. For all I know I could've been mouthing pineapple.

"Go on Dan...you can do it." Pj said reassuringly. I continued to mouth his name, but still unsuccessful. I did make a noise. I little squeak. That was it, like some pre-puberty nightmare noise. Pj looked at me and giggled. Phil didn't giggle, he just gave me a face of 'good try, you'll get it next time' I did feel weirdly motivated to get their names right, and I dont know why. I didn't care before...but now I do. Whats happening. I didn't want to speak, but I wanted to learn their names. At least.

Phil:

I like Dan, he seems really nice and lovely. He seems sarcastic, which is very amusing. Pj seems really cool too. I think I actually made friends. I saw Dan look up at me a few times during lunch. While listening to Pj talk. I looked up and met Dan's gaze, why was he looking at me so strange? Did I have something in my teeth? Or..or was he looking at me..just to look at me. Impossible. He's just some quiet boy who is just observing..like always. But I can't help but notice he was blushing furiously. His tanned olive skin was taken over by the crimson creeping from underneath. I'm just over analyzing. Again. I need to stop.

Dan:

He looks so content just sitting there, maybe I can sneak a glance at his blue eyes. No Dan stop! I mumbled internally. But I glanced up from my sandwich anyways, looking up into his eyes. I started to get lost in them. I wouldn't let my gaze leave him and his eyes, but then he noticed. Phil shifted his head towards me and gave me a confused stare. I instantly look down into my lap. The blush under my skin started rising and the temperature went from comfortable to one million degrees in about five seconds. I wonder when this gay phase of mine will go away. I ask myself this question on a daily. Every time I sneak glances at guys I ask it to myself. But, when I look at Phil, all of my negative gay slurs to myself, slip away. I dont think of anything but him. God Dan. Wow..you've known this guy for like thirty-seven and a half minutes and you already fancy him, cant get enough, and don't want him to leave because your desperate and you think you'll never see him again. Or I could call him.. or text...that would bring us closer...Dan don't be creepy.

Go on Dan ask Phil

I started to sign to Pj, he stopped his little game with me and actually translated.

"He asked you for your phone number Phil. Yay or nay?" Oh my god Pj. I didn't word it like that. Ugh. Having your friend translate for you is a blessing and a curse.

"Um yeah sure." Phil responded, grabbing his phone out of his back pocket and handing it to me. I grabbed it. Hands shaking. I wasn't cold, I was really fucking nervous. I put my number into his phone and handed him mine as well. He put it in his as well. And handed it back to me.

"Alright guys well I need to go. Mr. Coalfield said he needed to talk to me about the handbook. So yeah, first day of school fun." Phil said. Pj and I nodded in return.

"Cool. See you guys later maybe. Call you later Dan...bye." he said as he waved to me and smiled. I could've melted into a puddle on the cafeteria floor. God dammit Dan, you're pathetic. 

Phil:

Holy Crap! I thought to myself as I walked out of the cafeteria. Dan and I swapped numbers and I smiled at him and made him grin back at me. I made two new friends and haven't gotten bullied today. And I'll get to call Dan later. I've never been so excited to go home in my life.

A/N: I hope you enjoyed, I will update VERY soon.

Bye Bye
