New School, New Me

Chapter 6

I wake up with someone shaking my shoulders lightly. "Phil?  Phil it time to get up.."  I moan and hide my head under the covers. "I don't want to."

"Phil."

"No."

Everything was quiet for a second until I suddenly felt my blankets ripped off of me.  "Hey!"  I sit up with an angry expression and see Dan laughing which makes all of my irritation disappear.  How could anyone stay mad at that face?

I rub my eyes and get up to get some cereal.  

"Phiiil?"  Dan calls my name from the bathroom and i groan before walking in there.

"Yes, Dan?"  

When I get into the bathroom I see Dan staring in the mirror with toothpaste all over his face and a pouting expression.

"What the bloody hell happened in here?"  I looked at the mirror that was also splattered with toothpaste.

"Well... I was brushing my teeth and then i sneezed and.. This happened."  Dan looked like he was trying really hard not to laugh.  He got a some toilet paper and wet it before trying to clean off his face and the mirror that had been covered in splattered toothpaste.

"First night over and you're already making a mess."  I laugh as I watch Dan cleaning.  He does a fake mad pouting face and shews me away and closes the door.

The kitchen has just been restocked, so I have two full boxes of my favorite cereal which made me extremely happy.  I pour a bowl of Corn Nuts and sit on the couch.

This is weirdly amazing.  My life feels like its finally getting to where I can stand it; like I can actually maybe be happy with my life.  I smile to myself as I eat the cereal and continue to think about Dan.

Dan emerged from his guest bedroom with my dark blue shirt and black skinny jeans on.  I have to say, the outfit really did fit him.

He looks at me and smiles.  "This would be a great outfit for you to wear you know.  It probably makes your eyes stand a lot."  I feel my face heat up as my stomach erupts with butterflies.  Why does he effect me like this?

"Thank you..."  I bite my lip and keep my head down as I go into the kitchen to wash my bowl out before we have to leave.

"Anytime babe."  Dan comes up behind me and snakes his arms around mine making my breath catch in my throat.  I take a deep breath and continue washing the bowl trying not to let him see how he was effecting me.

He lays his head on my shoulder and kisses my neck before letting out a small chuckle.  "You're breathing rather heavy, Phil."

"Am I?"  I stutter and move my head to where I can see Dan's face.  "I didn't notice."

Dan smirks and lets go of my waist.  "You're so cute when you're shy, Phil.  Its adorable as hell."

"Thank you?"  I place my bowl back into the cabinet and chuckle as Dan gathers his bag and walks towards the door.  

"Are you coming or what?  Slowpoke."  Dan does a mischievous grin.

"You're calling me a slowpoke, huh?"  He nods and crosses his hands.

I do a smirk and walk towards the door.  "I bet i can beat you to the car."   Dan shakes his head and rolls his eyes.  "You wanna bet?"

I nod and do a smug smile.

He bites his lip and looks at me up and down.  "What do I get if I win?"

Still holding my smug smile i rack my brain to try and think of something.  "You'll just have to find out."  Dan grins wide and I grab my bag before counting to three and starting out race.
