Summary: Dan has a secret and Phil accidentally finds out. However they become closer because of it and little does Dan know, Phil is hiding something too.

He sat at the back of the class.

He was always on his own.

He never spoke to anyone.

Dan Howell watched as Phil Lester gazed dreamily out of the window to the sea. Their school was just by a beach and Phil would often stare off into the distance with a ghost of a smile. Dan Howell never understood him ... but yet again he didn't understand most human beings. You see, Dan was different, yet like a few others in the school. 

He was a werewolf. 

Not only a werewolf, but an alpha at that. The leader of the pack ... well not yet, once he finished high school of course. He was loved throughout the school and well respected, just as an alpha should be. But respect didn't just come, he had to earn it and he had, his pack trusted him and he was a strong alpha-to-be.

He was sitting with his beta and third in command, Chris and PJ, watching the mysterious boy who went to their school. Not everyone was a werewolf, humans attended also, completely oblivious to the world around them. They had a few human teachers as well but the head and most of staff were werewolf who looked out for the younger generation of wolves. It was important that the humans never discovered their existence!

"What are you staring at?" Chris, Dan's beta, asked.

"Nothing." Dan said, tearing his eyes away from Phil. "Just zoning out."

"You shouldn't be doing that today, we've got exams and you'll need to get good marks. You'll father will be pissed if you drop below your standard." PJ explained wisely. Lots of people loved PJ for his kindness and wisdom. After Dan, they'd usually come to him for advice. Chris was liked for different reasons, he was loud, entertaining and courageous. Most people recognized him as a class clown most days and looked forward to the lessons where he'd make people laugh.

"Thanks PJ, will do."

"Are you sure you weren't staring at someone?" Chris urged, playful smirk on his lips. Dan was quiet.

"You were? Who?" PJ asked curiously.

"No one ... just Phil, I don't get him is all. He's so quiet, why is he always alone?" Dan asked, giving in to his friend's patronizing gazes. 

"I don't know ..." PJ frowned. 

"He has a younger sister called Carrie. She usually stays clear of people too, must run in the family or something ... but still she has a few friends. He seems completely isolated." Chris commented.

"Why did you take an interest?" PJ asked. Dan shrugged.

"Dunno ... he's just a little intriguing." PJ and Chris gave each other a knowing glance. "What?"

"You sure you don't ... have the hots for him?" PJ teased.

"WHAT?" Dan exclaimed, catching the attention of a few nearby. Dan went bright red. "I don't." He hissed. 

"HEY EVERYONE! DAN FANCIES PH-" Chris was shut up by a hand over his mouth and a sharp elbow to his ribs. Chris gasped and sat back down in his chair with a pissed Dan. "Ow."

"You deserve it." PJ smirked.

"Whatever." Chris grumbled, clutching his stomach.

"Settle down class!" The teacher announced as he walked in, making the class go quiet. Dan let out a relieved breath before risking a glance at Phil. He was shocked to see a pair of mesmerizing azure eyes staring back. But as quick as they came, they were gone and Phil was looking out the window again. Dan gulped and turned back around ... maybe he did like him a bit.
