Chapter 3 • Telling Phil

You laid in bed that night thinking about your conversation with Phil at lunch that day. Maybe he should know you have a crush on Dan? He is your best friend after all, and you know you can trust him. You pulled your phone out and texted Phil.

"hey Phil?"

"hey Y/N, I was just about to go to sleep, do you need anything?"

"I have a crush on Dan"

"I knew it!"

"But you won't tell him right?"

"Of course I won't."

"well I'm sorry I can't tell you more rn, but I
better go to sleep"

"gn"

"gn"

Phil's POV:

This is so cute! I've seen the way they look at eachother, and they think I haven't noticed before. I wish they would just be together, I really wish I could just tell him. I could never tell a secret of hers though, so I have to keep my mouth shut. However, that doesn't mean I can't do a little bit of meddling.

The next day as we were riding home from school just as squished as last time I asked them,"Hey, do you guys want to hang out at my house?"

"Sure, I'd love to," Y/N responded.

"Sounds fine by me," Dan replied.

We got home and played Mario Kart together, a game that Dan was usually the best at. However today something seemed off. He was so far behind, and Y/N was in first place. He's so nervous, it's so precious! They would be so cute together!
After a few hours they both had to go home and the three of us were hanging out after school every day that week.

Your POV:

You'd just gotten home from Phil's house on a Friday night. You loved getting to see Dan this often, and you felt like you were getting closer to him. Sitting down on your bed, you pulled out your phone to text him.
A hand came down and took it before you could.
"Where have you been?!" you heard your mother's intense voice yell in your ear.
"I've just been at Phil's, that's all!" you pleaded.
"You shouldn't be wasting time with your friends, you should be out working like your brother."
"I don't let you use me for money like he does."
She slapped you in the face, and you touched the spot in pain.
"How dare you," she said leaving the room and taking your phone with her.
The worst part, was it was the weekend, so you couldn't just go to school to escape her and see Dan and Phil.

Dan's POV:

"Why Dan? Why?" I asked myself in the privacy of my bedroom.
"Why do you have to like her?"
I paced back and forth.
"She's your friend now, you can't ruin this."
I landed in my bed on my back.
"But what if Y/N does like me? What if she feels the same way?"

I ran my fingers through my hair in frustration, and pulled out my phone to type in,

"Hey Y/N, I just thought you should know something. I know I should have told you in person, but I couldn't hold it in anymore. I like you Y/N, I like you a lot. You're the reason I get up in the morning. I get this feeling when I'm around you and it really freaks me out, but I like it. I just had to ask if you feel the same way."
