II- snapchat

  Dan's POV
  "Dannielle put your phone away" my dad says.
  "Uh- sorry" I say. 'at least you didn't completely destroy it' I text Tobias.
  "Dannielle!"
  "Sorry," I say and turn off my phone.
  --the next day--
  I arrive at school about half an hour early. Don't get me wrong I'm not some massive nerd- actually I am... but that's aside from the point. I get to school early to avoid having to work my way through the crowds.
  Tobias's POV
  "Hey look it's the faggot!" someone yells. I quickly look around and begin running in the direction of the school. One of the guys throws a rock that hits my hand.
  "Fuck" I shake my hand for a moment.
  Eventually I get to school. I fast walk in and rush to my first class. Honestly I'd rather be hanged than have gym first thing in the morning. But no one gave me a choice so here I am.
  I change kind of facing away from everyone in the corner. Once I'm in my gym shorts and baggy Fall Out Boy t-shirt. I go out into the gym.
  "Alright everyone!" says the gym teacher. "Five pushups. And they have to be proper pushups no wimpy from-the-knee pushups!"
  I struggle to do two pushups and screw up the last three.
  "Twenty jumping jacks all together!"
  Jumping jacks are easy so I have no struggle.
  He sets the clock for five minutes, "laps!"
  Five minutes feel like eternity when in hell. And by hell I mean gym class.
  --that day after school--
  I run to my bedroom to avoid talking to my mom. I turn on my computer and open the texting thing. I see that I have a new text. It's from the guy I accidentally texted last night.

A/N
  SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING WHEN I SAID I WOULD! On Friday I woke up sicker than dicker and I basically just laid on the couch all day watching Netflix and eating donuts. At least I'm not too late.
  As you know in this chapter one of the characters said 'faggot'. This word should never be used. I don't care if your gay or straight or whatever don't say it.
  Faggot is what people used to call cigarettes, because it means a small bundle of wood (make the connection). However it became an offensive term when people wrapped gays up in carpets and lit them on fire. The sight of the flaming carpet reminded people of cigarettes (which they called faggots) so they started calling gay people that.
  I just thought I'd put that out there.
