The day I met you

2. A Day at the Park

The next day, both the boys walk to their class. Dan had a secret hope that today would go a lot smother than it had yesterday. Phil just seamed to be a lot nicer to Dan after school, but it was not going to be a better day. Right as Dan sat in his seat next to Phil, Phil rolled his eyes at Dan. He sighed. So, Phil will be nice to me online, but will pretend none of that happened and be mean to me at school? Dan thought to himself.

Phil just passed a note to Dan with 'tell no one' written on it. Dan crumpled up the note and shoved into his bag. He looks down at his desk. "then don't talk to me if you care that much about it," Dan said softly. Phil sighed and ignored Dan.

Why did you even talk to him last night? Dan thinks to himself. He's like the rest, he doesn't care.

Phil looked over at Dan like he was going to say something, but Phil's girlfriend, Mandy came over. "Hey babe," Phil said. Mandy kissed him and took her seat in front of Phil.

Dan looked over at Mandy and then at Phil. What do people see in a guy like him? Dan asked himself. Dan sighed and got on with his class work.

Not much else happened until lunch. Dan sat on his own like always. Phil saw a sad and lonely Dan and messages him from his phone.

PHIL: I know I said we could not talk anywhere but on line, but I really want to really apologize for calling you.... what I said yesterday.

DAN: How would you do that?

PHIL: Take you somewhere.

DAN:Where?

PHIL: Can you just trust me?

DAN: I don't really have a reason to trust you.

PHIL: So I'm guessing that it's a no?

DAN: I mean, you did call me a fag and shoved me into a locker, how do I know you won't just beat me up?

PHIL: Stop.

DAN: Stop what?

PHIL: Please, trust me.

DAN: I don't know.

PHIL: Fine then. Last time I'm nice to you.

Dan thought about it.

DAN: Where do you want to meet?

Phil smiled at his phone and looked up at Dan across the cafeteria.

PHIL: The park.

DAN: Okay, I'll be there.

Dan slightly smiled at his phone as he locked it and put it back into his pocket. Dan finished his lunch worrying about what might happen at the park.

When the bell rang for the end of the day, Dan started walking to the park. Phil was sitting under a tree staring off at the people and their kids and their dogs. It was a peaceful afternoon and thats how Dan hoped this afternoon would go. "H-hey," dan walks up to phil.
Phil had changed his clothes. Instead of wearing all black, Phil was wearing a blue hoodie for a change. Phil gave Dan a slight smile, this first he had given to Dan. "To make it up to you, I thought that I would be nice to you for a change. In person."

Dan nodded at phil. Phil looked arpund. "Don't tell anyone, but I like to lay in the grass and look at the sky." Phil layed down in the grass, gazing at the sky.

Dan gave a happy side smile, "I promise I won't tell anyone," Dan said as he layed next to Phil. As Phil focused his attention, Dan said to Phil, "so, tell me about yourself."

Still looking for shapes, Phil said, "well, I have not always been a mean person. I started being the way I am becuase i learned it was the only way I would be accepted."

Dan turns his head over and looked at Phil, "You don't have to change who you are to fit in."

"You don't understand, Dan," Phil said a bit angrily.

Dan sighed and looked back up at the sky. "What's wrong?" Phil asked.

"How we will be friends is still a mystery to me. We are polar opposites."

That comment from Dan made Phil upset. Who said i wanted to be your friend anyway?

Phil tried to think of something to changed the topic. While lookingup at the sky Phil noticed a familiar shape. "That one is shaped like a lion." Phil pointed at the sky.

Dan let out a small chuckle. He's so childish, how is he the same person i know at school?

Phil put his hand down and his hand placed on top of Dan's hand. Phil hesitated slightly before pulling his hand away and sitting up.

Both Dan and Phil look away from each other after that awkward encounter.

"I'm sorry," Phil said bluntly. He pulled his knees in close and hugged them, placing his chin on his knees.

"Are you okay?" Dan asked Phil worryingly.

"I'm not sure."

"What do you mean?"

Phil sighed. "I'm not sure about anything. My home life, my relationships, anything."

Dan sat closer to Phil, "you can tell me anything."

"It's just hard to talk about. I....I...I think..." Phil stoped

"What?" Dan said

"I can't. We can have this conversation at another time."

Dan nodded, staying silent.

"Maybe I can better talk to you about it when I'm talking to a screen. I'm just not ready to say it out loud" Phil looked away.

Dan, desperate to chear Phil up, thought of something and smiled. "Stop being so sad," Dan said is a baby toned voice.

"Like what?" Phil looked back at Dan.

Dan started poking Phil reppetativly until Phil slightly laughed. "You are a dork, but it's getting late. We should go home." They both stand up and phil ruffled Dan's hair up.

"Hey, don't do that you'll curl up my hair," Dan yells while laughing.

"I think your curly hair would suit you," Phil said teasingly, yet seriously.

"That's where I think youre wrong." Dan said.

"Whatever, I won't fight you on it. Go home and I'll message you later."

Dan nodded, "see ya!"

Phil gave Dan an actual smile and walked his way home.

Did... did he actually smile? That smile was... like something out of a fairy tale. Dan smiled to himself and walked home.
