Crushed Secrets {Phan AU}

Chapter 1

It's the first day of school. Oh, how I hate that summer is over. At least in summer I'm not getting beat up every day by the 'popular' guys. I'm the typical, gay nerd in my class, which gives them two reasons to beat the living shit out of me. Because I like guys, which apparently means I have a crush on all of them {not}, and also because I'm smarter than all of them combined. Nobody actually knows I'm gay, the guys just call me your typical "Faggot" and "Gay boy" in the hallway, and assume I am.

I walk into school and find my new locker. I always come a bit early, so I can avoid anyone that might want to throw their fist in my face. As I'm putting away my books and organizing everything, I get distracted by a slightly familiar female voice. I turn my head to see Mrs. Howell, and her son, Dan walk into school. Mrs. Howell is a good friend of my Mums, but Dan is part of the group that bullies me. The 'Jocks'. I've never talked or met Dan outside of school believe it or not. Only when him and the others want to beat me up though.

I stick my head into my locker a little bit, to avoid them seeing me. I hope they walk farther down the hall, but of course, with my luck, they walk closer to me. They haven't noticed me yet though. I turn my back towards them, as I hear a locker open. The locker next to mine, of course. The locker opened, hitting my back a little.

"Oh, Sorry." The voice of Dan says. Keeping my head down, I continue to put away my books.

"Daniel, sweetie. I know you had trouble in science last year, so this year I'm going to set up a tutor for you." I overhear Mrs. Howell say to Dan.

"Mum, I don't need a tutor in science!" Dan says.

"But, you were so close to getting into the honor roll last year. The only thing that held you back was your science grade."

Honor roll? I didn't think he was that smart, to be honest. Mainly because most of the 'Jocks' make the smarter kids do their homework and never actually learn anything.

Like one time in math, the teacher calls on one of these guys, asking what 8/7 plus 9/2 equals and it took him 20 minuets to figure it out himself.

But come to think of it...I've never seen Dan ask anyone to do his homework for him...

At that moment, the binder I was holding decided to drop, causing the loose leaf paper inside to scatter on the floor.

In attempt to bend down and pick it up, I bump my head into Dan's locker door, making a loud sound and causing others to look at me.

"Oh, honey are you okay?" Mrs. Howell walks over to me as I put my hand where I bumped my head.

"Let me help you with that." Dan says collecting the paper and putting it back in the binder.

"Phil?" Mrs. Howell says, causing Dan to look up at me.

"Hi, Mrs. Howell..." I say quietly.

"So lovely to see you!" She says to me. Dan picks up the binder and hands it to me.

"Thanks." I say putting it in my locker. He smiles lightly at me, as he glaces over to his mum. First time he's ever smiled at me, though he probably only did it because his mum was standing right there.

"Daniel, be a dear and take Phil to get some ice for his head."

"Oh no that's not necessar-" I try to say.

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Howell says looking at Dan. I see Dan roll his eyes slightly.

"Come on." He says to me almost annoyed, starting to walk towards the nurses office. I follow behind him.

We walk into the nurses office, not far from the hall, to see the nurse hasn't arrived yet. I check the time on my watch, 7:35. The nurse doesn't come for another 15 minuets. I stand by the doorway, as Dan gets a bag and fills it with ice. Without a word, he hands me the bag.

"Thanks." I say taking the bag and putting it on my forehead.

"Don't mention it." He says in a quite serious voice walking back towards the lockers. I walk behind him, and see Mrs. Howell had finished putting away the rest of Dan's books.

"I've got to get to work. So have fun at school honey." Mrs. Howell seems a bit rushed but gives Dan a kiss on the head. "And Phil tell your mum I said hi." I nod and smile.

Mrs. Howell walks out of the school, as Dan looks through the glass windows watching the car drive away.

He then closes his locker and walks out of school. "I wonder where he's going." I think to myself.
