9: waterfalls and cornfields

I walked the long way around the school to get to my form room, I was already late so fuck it. By the time I got to the room the bell for first period was going to go any second so I decided to go and wait in the toilets, saving myself the embarrassment of walking in late. I headed towards the toilets opposite the classroom and was about to walk in before I heard someone talking. It sounded like Phil.

"I promise it wasn't anything babe, I know I know- but, no Bex you listen to me-"

He was talking to his girlfriend. I forgot he had a girlfriend. She must've seen the picture of Facebook from last night, oh God what was I getting myself into, I'm falling for a guy who is not only straight, but has a fucking girlfriend. I really need to get my act together and apologise to Peej, he's right, the sooner I get Phil out of my life the better.

I hear him end the call abruptly, followed by a loud sigh. I open the door to reveal Phil, sitting on the worktop by the sink, leaning against the wall. He looks up from his phone when he hears the creaking of the door and smiles softly. I smile back but keep my head down, walking over to one of the toilet cubicles because I do not want Phil of all people to be in here when I'm using the urinal.

He jumps down from the worktop and walks in front of the toilet door, blocking my path. I look up from the floor and politely ask him to move,

"E-excuse me please can you move.." I say shyly, looking back down at my shoes, trying desperately to avoid conversation.

Phil doesn't move, but in response he brings his hands up to my chin and cups my face. He tilts my head up so we are making eye contact and smiles softly.

"Hey, I heard you and Peej had an argument" He talks softly and quietly, as if he is afraid of scaring the poor pastel boy in front of him.

I nod my head slowly and look back down at the ground, he drops his hands from my face and brings them down to my hands instead. He takes my hand softly and leads me out of the toilets.

We walk down the corridors together, past classrooms, and out of the back doors to the school. I don't know where we are walking to and to be honest I don't care, I care too much about things and it's time to let go.

We walk down the path, to the woods at the back of the school. Phil doesn't let go of my hand the whole way there and I'd be lying if I said I didn't like it. He leads me through the woods and towards the sound of a trickling waterfall. We get to the waterfall and stop, taking in it's beauty.

"I come hereto think" Phil says quietly.

"It's very pretty" I say, leaning down to pick up a wild flower woven into the grass

"You think?" Phil asks, turning towards me with a big smile spread across his goddamn gorgeous face.

He grabs my hand and runs down to the waterfall, dragging me with him through the tall grass.

"Phil!" I say loudly, shocked by our sudden change of movement. All I hear is him laughing in response as we run down the hill towards the water.

He stops when we reach the bottom of the hill, leaning over himself laughing loudly. I begin to laugh too, I'm not sure what is so funny but I don't give a damn right now because it feels like time is frozen still and like we have all the time in the world.

He sits down, still holding my hand, and drags me down too. I gasp as he pulls me onto his lap. He smiles at me and I look away shyly, feeling my cheeks burn red. He wraps his arms around my waist and looks me dead in the eye.

"go with me" I hear him say quietly.

"what?" I say, turning my head to one side and giggling slightly.

"to prom, go with me to prom" He says, a little louder.

I giggle and look down at my hands, playing with my thumbs thinking of the best thing to say. Ordinarily, if my crush asked me out I would have straight away said yes, no questions asked. But this was Phil Lester, the fuckboy. He would have probably found someone else to go to prom with by the time it came around and-

"Will you?" He says, interrupting my thoughts. He looks up at me with puppy dog eyes, full of hope.

"W-what about Bex? And and-"

"I'll dump her. tonight."

"Phil," I begin, smiling pitifully, "you can't mess with people's emotions. especially mine"

He looks at waterfall, and then back at me. "I know but-"

"Phil" I say, interrupting him "You have to decide what you want, and if you really want me, you have to want only me"

He looks down at his arms, still wrapped around my waist, "I know, Dan, I know."

He stands p, moving me off his lap and holds out a hand for me to take. I reach for his hand when he suddenly wraps his arms around me and I feel myself being lifted in the air.

"PHIL" I shout, laughing so much I'm not even sure he can hear what I'm saying, "put.. me dOWN"

He laughs in response and just tightens his grip on me, I give up wriggling and look down into his eyes.

"I want.. you" he says, his eyes scanning my lips.

I smile and tighten my grip on him even more, wrapping my legs around his torso. He starts moving again, but I am not bothered about where we are going, I am too lost in the moment to care.

He sets me down in a corn field, leaning against a tree. He rests his head on my lap and I aimlessly play with his hair. We remain like that for hours, talking about stupid shit and probably being the most cringey cliché couple out there. But I don't care, because for the first time in months, I am too happy to care.
