Pen pal

1

Dan and Phil walked into English together, they share only 3 of their classes, this being one of them. Dan and Phil are best friends. Only best friends. Nothing more. That's what it had always been for them since 2nd grade when they met. They were both new and socially awkward. Now, they are still socially awkward and still best friends. They took their seats in the back of the class.

"Wanna come over after school, we can film another video for the sims 4." Phil turned to Dan, who was scribbling a llama in his journal.

"Sure, we need to find more tea about Evan and Dabs relationship anyway." Dan shrugged.

The teacher walked in soon after, making everyone in the class hush. "Today," her voice loud and clear "we are going to do something different." The class turned suspiciously. This was Mrs. Campbell, the teacher who was so boring, you couldn't even get her to play a bored game. Dan looked over to Phil questionably.

"Half of the class will draw a name out of this box." She looked over to a medium size, shoe box that was painted black. "The other half of the classes names are in here. The half of the class that have drawn a name will not tell the person who you have drawn that you picked their name. Instead, the whole class will make a pen pal account. When you make your pen pal account, the half of the class that drew names, will change your name, and your gender if you wish. You will create whomever you aspire to be. You will friend whoever you have drawn, who have made their own pen pal account and have not lied about anything. "

She counted by ones and twos, one hit Phil and two hit dan, since they sat together.

"Now, if you are a two, you will come up, and draw a person who is a one. Remember, don't tell them who you are." On the walk up to the front of the room, Dan heard someone ask what the point of this was.

"Because, it's still the beginning of 11th grade for you kids, you should make more friends." Dan scoffed at the teachers answer. 'To make friends'. Dan didn't want another friend. He just wanted Phil. Soon, it was Dans turn to draw a name. He searched around in the box to try to find a good name, not that he knew which was which anyway. He drew his hand from the box, unfolding the paper in front of him. To his luck, he got the most perfect name in that pile, Phil.

He's smile showed brighter than anyone's smile in that moment. His dimple even gave a smile, creating another little dimple. Dan walked back to his seat.

"Who'd you get?!" Phil asked, cheerfully. Dan smiled to himself.

"Can't say." Phil frowned and turned fully around, showing Dan his back. Dan heard a pout noise come from Phil. "Don't be like that Philly! It's not personal." Dan crosses his arms. Soon Phil turned around, opening his Chromebook that the school provides. Dan did the same. It didn't take Phil long to finish making his pen pal account, considering he didn't have to lie about anything. On the other hand, Dan was struggling. He had came up with the name Molley, and turned the gender to female. He lied about his description and his interest.

Little did Dan know, he would soon crest a whirlpool of ideas, heartbreak, and lies, all in this one account.

Heyo. So this wasn't that long because whattpad was being stupid and decided that it was going to erase all of my 824 words I had wrote before this. So I decided to change the storyline to make them in school and that crap. It seems better this way though. Also ima give
a hella lot of credit to my friend Darenda who basically hit me up and was like "I have the best idea for a story but I don't write story's so ima give the idea to you". Have a good night/day
