You're A fishy fellow (phan AU)

Calming pond

*Dannies POV*

So I decide I need to go for a walk. It was around 4:00am and my mind wasn't planning on resting anytime soon. I walk through the dimly lit streets of my hometown. It's a pretty small place compared to most. It has a lot of beautiful trees. There's this place at the park that has a hidden trail that leads down to this old dock with a small pond around it. The dock has willow trees on ether side of it with the leaves hanging down. The vines are growing everywhere giving off a very calming vibe to the whole place.

I walk to the dock and sit down just looking at the moon reflecting off the water. I watch the waves move slowly in the slight breeze of the night, when I hear a small sound in the trees that startle me. I stay quiet but look over at the tree hoping no animal will jump out at me. Eventually the sound is gone and I pass it off as a squirrel or a bird going back to looking at the pond.

I look at the time on my phone and realize it's now 5:45. I should probably be heading home before my mom gets up. As I'm standing up, I hear a sound coming from behind the vines of the tree. My curiosity got the best of me and I peer behind it but don't see anything. I hear what sounds like something is running away and figure it's some animal.

Then I walk out of the park and past the gas station with old men looking at me strangely. I mean who wouldn't look at a teenage boy wearing all black strangely. Eventually I head back home and hop into my bed. I look at my phone one last time before I go to bed. My phone says 5:59. Just in time to get an hours rest before I have to get up for school. I let my eyes get heavy, as I slowly start to drift off thinking of the calming pond.

"Dannie, get up and get ready!" says my mother, as I grown getting ready to dread this stressful day.

"Dannie, why do you always wear black?" Questions my little brother, Adrian.

I think about this a little bit when he asks me. I don't really know why I wear black all the time. It just makes me feel like I'm hiding myself from the world. It also is a really nice colour to form to your body. It looks the best on me in my opinion.

"Dannie, I asked you a question" Adrian states, as I shake my head forgetting that he even said anything at all.

"Oh yeah right sorry. I guess I just like how it looks on me" I said deciding that's the best way to say it without speaking too much. I don't like talking all that much in fear I'll say something that I will regret and hate myself over.

I dropped off Adrian at the Junior High and drove myself to the High School. I pull into the back corner of the parking lot, hoping nobody will see me in my car. I'm also not the best at parking so it's better if I have no cars around me to accidentally hit.

The park I normally go to is across from the school. As I get out of my car, I look over at it thinking about how I was there last night and every night before for the last 4 years. I've been going there since I was 12 and first discovered it. I'm now 16 and still enjoy the same things as back then. There's a boy who is walking across to the school with jet black hair. He looks familiar but I can't put my finger on it. He's wearing a bright blue shirt and jeans. He has stunning blue eyes too. The boy looks around my age. He seems to be the total opposite of me, as he looks up and smiles at someone then continues to walk inside.

The bell rings and I rush to get my bag out of my car, as I realise how long I've been standing outside thinking about the strange boy with jet black hair.

I walk inside and sit at my desk not really paying attention to anyone else. The class goes on as normal, with me taking notes and trying to avoid all contact with everyone. That's how I normally do. I hear a sneeze come from the back of the room and I look back not trying to make it obvious. I see the boy with jet black hair. His face is incredibly red, as he looks down using his hair to cover his face. I notice he is gripped his pencil tightly and that he is covering his nose with a tissue. Then he stops and goes back to work like nothing happened.

The rest of the day goes on like normal. I hear the last bell ring and I head out to my car while keeping my head down in the hallways. That is how I try to avoid people and all the strange looks I get.

I get to my car and as I'm about to head to pick up my brother I get a text. Adrian says he's going to a friends house to play some video games and that I don't have to pick him up. I sigh and smile as I lean back in my seat. Then I decide I can head to the pond since it's so close and I have nothing to do. I stroll down the hidden path, with a little bounce in my step as I listen to music like normal. The path has leaves and vines surrounding it. It honestly is such a beautiful place. It's so calming to me to be here. I then get to the dock and sit down and just think.

It's kind of odd that I was in such an unhappy mood this morning and it completely changed. I now feel like I'm on top of the world. I'm just sitting here, being calm and happy in this place. That's why I love it here. My mother texts me telling me to be home and be hungry. I laugh and tell her I'm on my way. Then I start to get up, as I hear the sound coming from behind the tree again. I pass it off thinking it's just an animal again and continue on home.

I eat dinner with my family then ask to be excused when I'm done. I head up to my room and lay down on my bed. I look at my phone and see these people posting pictures of them with their friends and I can't help but feel alone. Sure, I have friends but they aren't friends on a really deep level. That's something I really desire. I lay my phone down and look at the ceiling, as I feel a tear run slowly down the side of my face. I put in my headphones to block out everything. I'm back to being sad again, after being so happy only hours ago. I honestly don't know if it's normal to change moods so quickly.
