Misunderstood [Phan] (COMPLETED)

Chapter: 1

[Dans P.O.V]

I woke up by my mum yelling at me to get up. Today was the day we were moving from New York to London. I dreaded the flight, I always hated planes for some reason, I wasn't scared of them though. I finally got up and when my mum left the room, I got changed

I decided to put on a pair of black skinny jeans and a grey hoodie. I look in the mirror and try to make myself 'presentable'. I rubbed my eyes as I yawned

Brushing my hair down with my fingers first, I then put my ear piercings back in, my eyebrow piercing in then adjust my nose ring

'Stupid' I thought to myself as I shook my head

Eventually I gave up and just put my hoodie on over my head. I quickly brushed my teeth then headed downstairs to see my mum frantically running around trying to get organised, I laughed at her quietly

My mother then looked at me

"Dan, we need to be at the airport in five minutes, I messed up the plane schedules!" She said panicking

"Oh shit" I said while smiling

"Language!"

I laughed "Mum, I'm almost seventeen"

That made her smile yet I could see a slight sadness in her eyes as she realised just how quickly I seemed to be growing up. I began to help my mum get ready then we shortly got into her car and drove to the airport

I sighed, I'm going to miss America. Even though it's hot here, I like it. So much was changing

New country, new house, new school, new people, I don't expect new friends...

"How is our car getting to London?" I asked my mother curiously

"I think it's travelling by boat" she answered

"Oh okay"

The drive to the airport was short but boring. We got out of the car, grabbing our luggage and entering the building. My mum and I went over to get our tickets then we went through security and we were searched along with our luggage was checked

My mum and I then found some empty seats and we sat down, the airport wasn't as busy as I thought it would have been

My right arm started to sting. When my mum wasn't looking I lifted up my sleeve slightly and saw that my cuts had reopened and they were bleeding

"Shit" I said under my breath

I took out my phone and scrolled through twitter for awhile before I heard an announcement

"Flight 180 to London is now boarding at gate 7" a woman spoke on the loud speaker

I stood up then helped my mum up, I grabbed most of our luggage and she grabbed a couple suitcases. We boarded the plane then sat in our designated seats

My mum was sat next to the window and I was next to her. A few minutes later a man, who appeared to be in his late forties and looking rather grumpy, sat next to me and I sighed

I was already in a bad mood from being on a plane and now I was sat next to this grumpy old fart

Putting in my earphones, I play some music and closed my eyes. At some point I fell asleep then woke up and checked my phone for the time. I was out for about 7 hours. I looked down at my arm and saw that blood had started to come through my sleeve. I groaned quietly then crossed my arms

"Hey mum..."

"Yeah?" She answered

"How much longer until we land?" I asked

"About half an hour, sweetheart" she replied after looking at her watch

I nodded in response

I pulled out a small table from the back of the chair in front of me and I placed my laptop on it then started watching one of my favourite movies; High School Musical

A few minutes later I felt a slightly aggressive tap on my left shoulder. I looked over to the old man next to me as I took out my earphones and paused the movie

"Yes?" I asked not so politely

"You like that movie?" The man said in a rude, sarcastic tone

"Yeah..."

He scoffed and turned away before I continued to watch my movie. Five minutes later I felt another, even more aggressive, tap on my shoulder

I groaned

"What?!" I paused my movie again

"You're a faggot" he said

I chuckled then rolled my eyes

"Fuck you" as soon as I said that my mum hit my arm

"Don't say that!" She told me

"He's a dick" I said

My mum shook her head in disappointment

"...he reminds me of dad" I said quietly

My mum said nothing and sighed as she grabbed my hand and rubbed it with her thumb. I sighed. I put the movie back on for 20 more minutes then turned off my laptop and waited for the plane to land

Ten minutes later the plane safely landed and we got off, got our luggage then my mum called a taxi

While waiting for the taxi, I saw a tall, pale boy across the street, looking at me while walking, he looked happy. He was pretty cute too

I smiled to him because I didn't want to seem rude. The taxi soon arrived and we both got in then it drove us to a nearby hotel. My mum got us connecting rooms

She gave me my room key then I walked in. The hotel was shitty and kind of dirty, but it was all we could afford at the moment so I just had to deal with it for now

I dropped my luggage on the bed then laid down on my back after I took off my shirt and soon after, I fell asleep
