Misunderstood [Phan] (COMPLETED)

Chapter: 2

The set alarm in the hotel room woke me up at 7 am. I rubbed my eyes then stretched

I heard a knock on my door then shortly after my mum walked in. I pulled the covers over my head. Darkness

"Come on, Daniel. You need to get ready for school" my mum said sitting on the end of the bed, patting my side

I groaned then pulled my blanket down to my chest

"Fine..."

My mum smiled

"Good boy"

I rolled my eyes before she left the room. I yawned as I got out of bed and looked through my suitcase for some decent clothes. I ended up putting on a new pair of jeans and a grey shirt with a black jacket

Walking into the bathroom, I brushed my teeth and re-straightened my hair then quickly bandaged my arm. I put my books in my school bag then made some lunch to have

A couple minutes later my mum came into my room and was surprised to see me already ready to go. She smiled widely

"If we leave now you'll be quite early, are you okay with that?" She asked

I nodded before grabbing my phone and putting it in my pocket

"I'll just get to school by myself if that's okay" I said, just wanting to be alone for awhile before school

"Oh okay"

My mum handed me money for the taxi then she called them to come pick me up

"I'll see you this afternoon" I said

Roughly around 5 minutes later the taxi arrived and drove me to school. I crossed my arms as I anxiously walked through the school doors. Not many people were here yet

I was nervous. Wondering what was going to happen today, I looked at my schedule to see what classes I had

'English, Business, HPE then Science'

I looked around for my English class, looking down at my schedule before I accidentally bumped into someone

"Shit sorry" I apologised

They turned around, facing me. Something about him reminded me of someone, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. It was bugging me. I kept staring at him until he finally said something

"Wait... Don't I know you?" He asked, his voice was soft and welcoming

"I... don't know"

"Oh wait! I saw you yesterday getting into a taxi with a woman" he exclaimed

Oh, of course. I should've known, not many people at this school here are as cute as him

"Oh yeah, that was my mum" I said

He smiled. The bell then rang loudly

"Hey, what class do you have now?" He asked

"Oh um... English" I said, hesitantly showing him my schedule

"Hmmm... Oh! You're in my English class" he smiled widely, I smiled back

The tall boy walked me to our class then we entered. I sat down and he sat next to me

"My name is Phil by the way" he said

"Dan"

"Cute name, it suits you" he complimented

I blushed

"What other classes do you have today?" I asked quietly

"Um... Business, HPE and then drama" Phil answered

"Oh"

"What?" He questioned

"I don't have last period with you, I have science" I explained

"Aw man, that sucks" he frowned

Phil actually looked genuinely upset that he wasn't in one of my classes. Weird. At the start of the class the teacher saw that I was new and she told Phil to show me around the school. This class was kind of boring but Phil was quite entertaining and he was making me happy for now

Phil was really funny, most of his jokes were really lame but I liked them. Phil and I didn't really do a lot of work, we spent most of the time talking

We had a lot in common. Once the bell rang, me and Phil were the first ones out. We quickly walked to our Business class

Business is really boring but we do have a really hot teacher. Phil and I secretly listened to music that class and he was doodling in the back of his book, I was watching him

This class felt like it went on forever but it eventually ended and now it was lunch time

"Hey, is it okay if we sit away from like all the other people. Sorry I'm just not comfortable around strangers" I asked

"Yeah, of course" he smiled

Phil was too nice, it was dangerous. One day he is going to get hurt

Anyway, Phil took me to a table with four chairs, no one else was around it. Phil sat down first then patted the chair next to him, telling me to sit. I sat next to him then put my bag on the table

I put my hands on my head and sighed

"Hey, are you okay?" Phil asked before putting his hand on my back

I jumped and had a frightened expression on my face

"Sorry" I said

"What's wrong?" He asked me

"I don't know..." I lied

Phil grabbed my hand and looked into my eyes. I crookedly smiled

"Look, I like you but I don't know if I can trust you yet. I've had really bad experiences in the past and I don't know who I can trust anymore" I said

Phil looked down sadly "That's okay, I'll give you as much time as you need"

I shook my head

"What?" Phil questioned

I smiled "you're honestly way too nice, you need to be careful"

"I like being nice" He smiled back

I laughed quietly
