Chapter 1: School and the anonymous question

Dan waddled eagerly through the cramped corridors, keeping his head low so he remained unseen. He just wanted to get out of this hell hole, aka school. It wasn't like Dan was hiding from anyone... it was just... no one in his school particularly liked him very much and he knew why. He had plain, dirt brown hair which was cut into an 'emo' fringe and wore black skinny jeans and band/gaming shirts, as well as long black hoodies. This lead to the assumption of others that he was indeed an 'emo freak' so decided in their right mind that it was just best to avoid him at all costs. He knew he wasn't emo, he simply adored wearing black because it made him look great! Why didn't people just accept that and stop worrying about his appearance and focus more on their own for once. He had no argument for the freak part though.

People never confronted him, which he was grateful for. However, they also didn't completely leave him alone, as most students would enjoy knocking him over as he desperately clutched to his many textbooks and heavy folders, loaded with countless amounts of paper hidden inside, or just 'playfully' punch him straight in the gut or groin. Yeah...not the nicest of things to experience... The cruel names tormentors would yell as he sauntered by made everyone avert him by any means possible. Though he had gradually learned over the years to just overlook it and not let them affect him, to simply let himself become completely isolated from the world around him. Considering that if it did get to Dan, then he wouldn't be able to function accordingly or psychologically, which he had experienced when first coming to this shithole.

Despite this, Dan wasn't completely alone. He had at least one loyal friend, Chris. Chris was the bubbly and funny type who'd support you no matter what and had nothing negative to say, overall a nice character. Chris was a lanky guy with light brown hair and hazel eyes and happened to be slightly smaller than Dan which he took advantage over. Like Dan, he was completely non judgemental which not only made him a great friend but not prone to tormenting him over his sexuality or appearance.

See he used to have friends which he'd had since Primary school, although when he thought he could trust them with one of his deepest secrets, thinking they'd be fine with it. They had instead just left him for more popular groups of people and spread his secret around to his whole year, which before long reached the entire school... that he was indeed gay.

He had never been judged before, as his family were fine with it, once he had the courage to tell his parents that is. They went by unphased by it all and just congratulated him for having the courage to share it with them. They had encouraged him all his life to love whoever he liked, whether it be guy, girl or non-binary. Which was a huge relief to him. Nevertheless, this didn't help him what so ever, with the fact that nearly everybody hated him for it because in his town being gay was wrong. But thankfully Dan's family weren't at all religious...well except for his mum since she was Pagan but it didn't affect anything.

They had moved here unknowing of the homophobic community he had joined. He felt sorry for some of his neighbours and his parents since he knew they had to hide their relationships with the same sex, like Mark and Jack next door, wearing their wedding rings round their necks just so that nothing will give away that they were together just 'friends'. And Laci, who lived on the next road who was secretly in a longterm relationship with her girlfriend Louise. It was horrible to think that they'd have to be forced to hide their love just so society wouldn't shit on them.

He was made to think that being gay could actually be...disgusting and what some people would say as being unnatural...a sin.

Maybe he was... No, no stop it, don't listen to them! Dan wasn't going to let the crappy people at his school affect him. He was gonna be his own person with his personal thoughts and feelings which no one could destroy or change...because this was him not someone who covers their emotions and true personality with a blanket so he appears to be more likeable to other people. It wasn't worth the effort...or was it?

He finally escaped Satan's pit and walked over to the gates where Chris was patiently waiting for him. He was turned around talking to another guy, most likely to be Pj of all people. Chris was smitten with him but he would always deny it whenever it came to the topic. Dan thought it was adorable and would always tease him about it. This resulted in Chris' face resembling a tomato, when the topic of Pj was brought up.

He took the chance to sneak up on him, just to agitate the boy. So he swiftly crept up on him. Pj looked over Chris' shoulder, seeing Dan sneaking behind Chris, giving him a puzzled look until Dan held his finger to his mouth in a sign not to say anything and Pj's faced remained neutral with a hint of a smirk appearing .

Dan quickly run up to Chris and jumped on his back, hanging off his neck and ruffled his hair.

"Hey Chris!" he shouted in his ear. Chris jumped back and squealed slightly which made Pj and Dan giggle. He unhooked Dan's hands from his neck, and turned round, facing him with a pout and messy hair.

"Fuck you Dan!" He said playfully hitting Dan on the arm. He then turned back to Pj. As he did, Pj got called over by someone so he said a quick goodbye to Chris and hugged him quickly, then walked off to join his friend. Chris stood there mesmerised for a moment which Dan admired before smiling at him.

"Awe look at your lil face Chris, maybe I'll have to get Pj to hug you more often!" he said teasingly.

"Shut uuuuuup!" Chris said stretching the 'u'.

"What?! It's so cute how you react when he does something!" Dan protested.

"Daaaaaaan! Shush!" Chris whined.

"Okay, okay" Dan said defeatedly. He smirked "...but it's true!"

Chris put his hand over Dans mouth to hush him, he'd been embarrassed enough.

"Let's go buttface, it looks like it's gonna rain." Chris pointed out.

"We better run then, I don't want my hair to go curly! But I can't really be bothered to do any exercise either. When it comes to desperate measures we'll leg it. Agreed?" Dan asked.

Chris nodded vigorously "Agreed!"

-

The two boys walked until they were halfway to Dan's house which was where Chris lived so they said a quick goodbye. Just before Dan could feel droplets on his nose.

Shit, ugh I've gotta run!

"Good luck making it home!" Chris screamed out when he was under the safety of his porch, as Dan glared at him before starting to sprint home.

As soon as Dan got home he raced up to his bedroom and slumped onto his bed before deciding to get his laptop and go onto Tumblr. His blog wasn't all that exciting, as all it consisted of was bands and video game gifs like Muse and Pokémon and occasionally a few cute gay guys and girls kissing or holding hands would appear which he found adorable. He only had a few followers, but when he had nothing better to do it was a nice escape.

He was reblogging a gif of Matt Bellamy when he noticed that he had a message. Nobody really wanted to talk to him like...ever, so he was quite surprised. He then started to become anxious, what if someone from school found my blog?! They would just torment me more without me being in school! Even though this could have been the case, he was curious. He decided to look at the message. It was from someone who remained anonymous. He was shocked to say the least.
