Eyes.

When dan woke up in the morning, due to his nagging alarm, he realised he had a good sleep. He wasn't really that tired. Which was unusual for him, being an insomniac.
Of course; he was very sore though, and his face felt like it was melting. The stinging pain caused his eyes to swell overnight.
Dan decided a shower might temporarily ease the pain. He walked to his cold stone tiled bathroom and turned the handle all the way to hot. His shower was actually a nice shower, it didn't look it, not at all. It was boring white but was pretty grungy, and it had the ugliest shower curtain dan had ever seen. After he allowed it to heat up for a minute, he stripped and hopped in.

Dan closed his eyes and leaned against the wall, letting the warm water splatter on his back, of course the slashes from yesterday stung under its force, but at least they were being cleaned. Dan clenched his fists, trying not to let the pain overwhelm him.

*time skip to when dan finishes shower*

Dan steps out of the shower and gently puts a towel around his body. He grabs a washcloth and sets it with cold water from the tap. He presses it to his face, where the massive cut was, it literally covered more than half of his face, it started at his hairline and ended in the middle of his upper lip. Dan shuddered in pain as the material itched against the cut, but the coolness of it felt good.

Once dan had gotten changed into his black skinny jeans and white Totoro shirt he slipped his shoes on and clamoured his way down the shitty wooden steps.
He didn't say anything as his stepdad gave him a disapproving glare.

Dan decided he would make himself a coffee. He plugged in the coffee maker and let it do its thing while he got his bag ready, stuffing in a mince pie for lunch. He also made a cup of noodles in a flask. When the coffee was ready he bought everything back up to his room and sat on the end of his bed, reading his favourite manga, Attack On Titan.
He finished his coffee after around ten minutes and by then it was time to go to school.

He purposely slammed the door on his stepdad as he made his way out of the house.
Again he put his headphones in and played music, this time he listened to 'Little Game' by Ben J Pierce (you should listen to it it's really good)

Hush boy oh hush boy don't say a word
Throw on a jersey no one gets hurt
Hush girl oh hush girl
Just bat your eyes
Play our little game, play our little game

Dan hummed the chorus as he neared the school gate, hands in pockets, head down low, he didn't want anyone to see his face, not the way it was today.
Dan knew it would turn into an ugly scar, but he figured it was just more proof for when he managed to, one day, get his stepdad into prison.

Dan felt his phone vibrate in his pocket as soon as he entered the school gates.

Phil: meet me by the bathrooms in G block?
Dan: yeah sure I'll be there in a sec
Phil: see you soon :)

Dan smiled as he saw the little smiley face, guess phil was really turning into his first and only friend. Dan was pretty happy about that, he finally had a friend, well something close to one.

The first thing dan saw as he walked to their meeting spot was phil eyes. Grey, but piercing blue at the same time. Dan was drowning in them. He didn't think he would be able to get out. He wondered what those eyes had seen, he wondered about Phil's past. He wondered if those eyes were sad ones.

"Hi da- oh my god your face!" Phil hissed.
Dan sighed
"I know I look bad" dan admitted
"Bad? Dan you look like a freaking soldier who's been attacked!" Phil gasps.
"I think that's a bit of an overstatement, Phil" dan laughed

That's when the two of them hugged.
