Twenty-Nine

phil

there was one more week of school left before it was finally winter break which meant, christmas and no homework for three whole weeks.

i spotted chris trudging to the schoolyard and i sped up to him, wrapping my arm around his neck and pulling him close to me, "chris my boy, winter is here." i sang happily and planted a wet kiss on his cheek.

"yes, winter is here, along with whatever drugs you are taking." chris spat and wiped his cheek, his face going red with a disgusted face plastered on it.

i just laughed and let go of him when i saw dan approaching. and let me just fucking say, if we were not at school right now and we were in a dark room, i would've trailed my hand up his skirt. why did he always wear skirts? was it to tease me? it was pretty obvious now that we liked each other. he was dressed in an oversized rainbow sweater and a pretty white shirt under it with fishnet tights and green flats.

"hey phil, hey chris." he smiled and took his place at my side. that's right, his place is right by my side.

"dan? what happened to your arm?" louise asked randomly coming out of nowhere.

i instantly looked down at dan's arm, grabbing it lightly when he tried to hide it. it was kissed roughly with bruises and scratch marks. "oh, that. carson and tanner just decided to stop at my house last night and they tried to get me scared of them, it didn't work." dan shrugged, he seemed calm about this.

"dan... why didn't you text me." i asked, showing the pain in my voice.

"i didn't want you to worry."

louise came in between me and chris, linking our arms with hers, "c'mon boys! we don't want to be late to class now do we!" she said and started walking away, me quickly entwining my fingers with dan's and pulling him along.

holy shit this boy had some soft and warm hands, like a sleeping kittens. you know when you pet the cat when it's sleeping and all it does is curl closer to you and want you to pet it more, yeah, that's what dan's hands reminded me of.

louise and dan broke away from me and chris because they had a first hour together, and i waved to chris before he entered his classroom which was right next to mine.

"my god was english class boring." peej ranted and slammed his lunch tray on the table.

"only a few more months and then it's all over." i said after shoving my face full of mashed potatoes.

"cover your mouth, jeez phil." dan laughed and held my mouth shut, making me laugh and smile a food full smile at him. he laughed, obviously grossed out but hey, if i wanted something i was going to have to flirt to get it. why do i sound like a fuckboy?

"so why isn't dodie here today? i miss that little legsbean." louise groaned and took a bite of her sandwich.

"she's not a lesbian, she's bisexual."

"she'll be saying differently when she's at my house."

"tmi louise."

me and dan drifted away from chris, peej and louise, strangely talking about planets and stars and how the whole galaxy works. it was interesting, how he was so interested in astronomy but doesn't own a telescope.

"i've never had the money to get one and my family never supported something that i liked unless it was like engineering or something like that." dan said and took a sip of his coffee. i love that he brings his own coffee to school.

"you should do what you want secretly."

"i know, but i want to be open about these things. i'm tired of having to hide the true daniel howell."

that was the first time he has ever used his full name in front of me but we both brushed it off, knowing it was going to happen one day soon.

"uh, dan. why don't you ever use your real name often?" i asked, knowing it was going to be rough for him to answer. but i wanted to know the truth even though i already knew it. if that makes sense.

"because it's something my dad came up with and he left for a shitty reason."

"what shitty reason?" i was really pushing my limits here.

"t-that i like wearing girl clothes." dan provoked, wrapping his arms around himself. like he was trying to cover up his identity and hide inside the shadows of the lunch room.

"hey, it's okay." i smiled, setting my hand on his knee. giving him most of the affection i could be giving him right now. after all, we were in public.

(I think once this book gets more popular ((what am I talking about it's at 5k right now)) *THANK YOU SO MUCH BY THE WAY* but I think at around 10k I'll do something like a character q&a so maybe comment some questions and for what character. !REMINDER! Do questions for more characters than just Dan and Phil! It can be anyone!)
