It had been a couple of days since their first encounter with each other, and since then, things had gone pretty much back to normal for Phil. He continued hanging around with a band of overly enthusiastic nerdy boys. Phil still arrived to his lessons five minutes late, and was still laughed at by a chain of overly groomed girls. However, the regular routine of his life had not stopped Phil from thinking of the brown eyed boy who he so desperately wanted to see again.
Dan had began to fit in at the school, he has began hanging out with a small group of misfits, which consisted of a slightly obese guy with a mop of curly blonde hair called Nathan, and Jo, a tiny girl who usually wore a black beanie over her choppy brown hair. They wern't particularly interesting or funny people, but Dan figured sitting with them was better sitting on his own. But Dan wasn't planning to spend the rest of his High School life with them, he had a plan to try and get in with the group of decent boys who Phil hung out with. By this point he has worked out that the chance of Phil feeling the same way that he did was near impossible, but hey, that would'nt stop him from getting to know Phil a little better.
As Dan began to approach science block, possible questions to ask Phil began to over power his thoughts. Whats your favorite Pokemon? Are you currently in a relationship? Favorite tv show? Favorite band? Worst fear? The questions were so dominant in his mind that he almost forget that he was appproaching the doors of his Science classroom. He took a deep breath, stepped into his classroom, glanced over at his seat and... Phil wasn't there. Dan breathed out again in a gruff manner and staggered towards his table, and sat in the chair as the lesson began.
About five minutes later, Phil arrived in the classroom, and awkwardly knocked at the door. "Come in" said the teacher bluntly. Phil grimaced as he pushed the handle open and stepped into the classroom. "Mr Lester." began the teacher. "You are late." he continued in a suspiciously calm manner. "I was only five minutes late!" argued Phil in a small voice. "But Mr. Lester you were still LATE!" snapped the teacher, which caused a group of girls to giggle. The colour in Phil's face began to drain as he realized what the teacher was going to say next. "So, Phillip, I expect to see you here at lunch. FOR THE WHOLE OF LUNCH!" announced the teacher. Phil thought about protesting once again, but he knew that would only make his situation worse. He stared at the floor to avoid the judgmental of his classmates, and headed towards his seat, but suddenly, a strong voice emerged from the crowd. "But sit, that's unfair!" Phil raised his head to see who's mouth those words had come out of, and surprisingly, it was Dan's. DAN'S! How could I have forgotten Dan was in this class? This is what happens when you don't concentrate... thought Phil miserably.
Dan stared at the teacher, awaiting his reply, as he tried to look tough, but in all honestly he was terrified. He had never done anything like this in his life, but when he saw Phil being treated like that, something in his mind ticked. "Mr Howell. I am not in a good mood. If you do not sit down in the next 30 seconds I will also have to issue you a detention." said the teacher sternly. "But sir, it's not fair! Yes, Phil probably shouldn't have arrived late, but you have no right to give him a detention that long!" Dan yelled passionately. The teacher look as if he was about to strangle him, but eventually his face became calm, which was never a good sign. "Mr Howell, you will also be joining Mr Lester in a lunch time detention." he said far too quickly. "If you speak to me in that manner again during this lesson, you will be getting a much worse punishment so I suggest you sit down."
Dan sat down again, bang the table as he went, and soon after, Phil joined him. "Hey, Dan, you didn't have to do that you know?" he whispered to the other boy as the teacher continued his lecture. Dan went slightly red at first, but then answered him "I had to, I hate seeing people not getting the justice they deserve." The two boys sat in silence for a little while, then Dan continued "I could tell that grin he had on yesterday was fake. it was too... elfish." "Yeah, on our first day of year seven he was the nicest teacher ever, but after a couple of lessons, he began to show his true colours." Phil chuckled.
When sir had finished speaking, the whole class began chatting to each other whilst scribbling notes in their books. Dan took this as an opportunity to learn more about Phil. "So..." Dan said, in a slightly flirtatious manner, "What bands to you like?" It took Phil a few seconds to process the fact that Dan was talking to him. "umm..." he hummed whilst thinking. "I like quite a few, Fall Out Boy, Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance... but my absolute favorite is defiantly Muse." Dan couldn't believe that this boy, already so perfect, liked pretty much all the same bands as him. "No way!" said Dan with a grin on his face. "Muse are my favorite too!"
Throughout the lesson, the two boys asked each other questions to learn more about each other, which conveniently made them fall for each other even more. "It's so weird!" Phil said. "We like almost all the same things as each other!" "It was almost as if we were..." "Made for each other." they both said in sync, which lead to an uncomfortable silence. "That was cheesy... and awkward." Dan said laughing, trying to sound as if he wasn't completely mesmerized by the other boy. Luckily, this comment had the exact effect that Dan had wanted it to have, which lead to Phil joining in laughing with Dan. But actually, it has left Phil feeling a little upset. he thought for a second they had a chance together, but then Dan had said something that had made himself sound straight.
The bell rang. "So.. I'll see you around!" said Dan as he began to get out of his seat. "Yeah! See you in the DT!" returned Phil happily. They both groaned as if they were dreading it, but secretly, they were both ecstatic about seeing each other again.
