Dan

I sighed as I brought boxes up to my new room. It wasn't like I hadn't moved before, it's just that my parents had promised that we wouldn't have to move again.
I brought my last box up and flopped onto my bare mattress. I plugged my headphones into my phone and began listening to music.
I pondered for hours of the inevitability of death and how in the grand scheme of the universe our problems are insignificant.
------------------------
I finally fell asleep at around ten, which wasn't all that late but considering I had school the next day and had just moved halfway across the country, I was exhausted. I woke up at 6:30 and dragged myself out of bed and into my bathroom. I had a quick shower and brushed my teeth. I went back into my bedroom and opened a box of clothes and picked a pair of black skinny jeans, a lavender jumper with an alien on the front pocket and white converse high tops. I went back to the bathroom and attempted to tame my unruly hobbit hair with my straightener. Once I finished I went downstairs to the kitchen.
--------------------------
I got a bowl from a box on the counter, a box of cereal from another and milk from the fridge. My Mum came over to me.
"Good morning Dan, how are you?" She asked. I thought about giving her the honest answer but decided against it, seeing as she was stressed from the move.
"Good." I muttered with a mouthful of cereal.
"Good, have fun at school sweetie. The bus will be here at seven, which is in twenty minutes so take your time. I'll see you after I get done with work."
"Ok, I love you Mum."
"Love you too. Adrian should be down in five minutes and so should your father."
"Ok. Bye Mum."
"Bye Dan." She said as she walked out the door to her car.

I hurried to eat my cereal and then went upstairs to paint a bit before my walk to the bus stop at the end of the street.
Adrian walked out of his room.
"Hi Dan! Good morning. Are you excited for school?" He said energetically.
"Yeah, it seems like you definitely are." I said ruffling his hair.
"I am! I can't wait to make new friends." He smiled and went downstairs. A moment later our Dad came out of my parents room.
"Morning Dan." He said with a smile.
"Morning Dad." I said walking into my room

I walked into my room and got my foldable easel a canvas and my painting supplies out.  I set the canvas up and got metallic blue, pink and purple paint onto a pallet. I wasn't very good at painting but you don't need to be good at something to love it. I smeared the colors onto the canvas with my brush to make an abstract effect. Once the canvas was completely covered I got a one tipped brush and some black paint. I started painting small planets and stars all over it.
I looked at the time and realized that I only had 6 minutes until the bus picked me up, and it was a five minute walk to the bus stop.
I grabbed my bag and threw in my supplies. I ran out my bedroom door only to relapse to get my phone and earbuds. I ran out the door yelling a quick goodbye to my Brother and Dad.
I slowed my walking pace and put my music on, shoving my phone in my back pocket.
I got to the bus stop early and sat down. I zoned out as I was listening to music, but I was snapped back to reality as the most beautiful person I had ever seen mumbled a quick hello and blushed. My face went a shade of red that was so bright I could've classified as a tomato. He was gorgeous, he had an ebony black fringe and skin so pale he looked like a ghost. But his eyes. They were beautiful, mostly blue with green and yellow. The boy had a white T-shirt with a dark purple rose poking out of the chest pocket and a matching flower crown on his head. He had black skinny jeans and a pair of black and white Vans. Despite the cold he looked quite warm. He sat down next to me and took out his phone and started playing with his  Pokémon Go app settings.
---------------------
The bus arrived and we got up and sat near the back. He was sitting behind me and I had an entire seat to myself. I continued to listen to music until we got to the next stop and I felt a tap on my shoulder. I pulled my earbuds out and turned around.
"Yeah?"
" mind if I sit next to you?"
"Not at all, my names Dan by the way. I just moved here."
"Hi Dan, I'm Phil." He said sitting next to me. A smile literally spreading to his ears.
"What kind of music do you like?" He asked pointing to my headphones.
"Well, right now I really like Muse and Troye Sivan. But I don't really have a preference."
Phils eyes lit up even more, I was sure they were going to burst.
"I love Muse!" He exclaimed.
I smlied and we talked until the bus pulled up to school.
"Can I see your schedule?" Asked Phil.
"Uh yeah." I dug around my backpack as we were walking to the front doors. I succeeded in pulling it out and handed it to Phil. His eyes widened and his jaw dropped.
"We have all our classes together!" He exclaimed a permanent smile on his face.
"This is pretty good for me because I don't exactly have any friends in my classes." Phil explained.
"Why wouldn't you have any friends in your classes? You are honestly the nicest person I've ever met." I said confusedly as Phil opened the door for us.
"You flatter me! But I don't know I just don't get along very well with the other students." Phil said blushing.

We walked into our first hour classroom and took our seats in the back of the classroom next to each other.
