Dans POV  

The door of the bathroom slammed behind me as Phil dragged me further into the room. I could taste the metallic of blood dripping from my nose and feel the throbbing pain the punch had left behind. We abruptly stopped walking in front of the sinks, Phil dropping my wrist when realized he was holding it.  

We stood there in silence for a few moments, only the sound of my panicked breathing could be heard. While I try to get a hold of myself Phil walks over to the paper towel dispenser and grabs a few, running it under the tap. The whole time I watched him perplexed. He shoves a hand of paper towels towards me, not meeting my eyes.  

"Thanks" I mutter as I accept them. He nods in reply and starts pacing the bathroom. I turn to the mirror and cringe at my reflection, the blood from my nose was starting to dry and cake on my skin.  I dab at the blood and wince from the pain. I look behind me in the mirror and notice the ebony haired boy staring at me with an unreadable expression. I clear my throat awkwardly.   

"Um t-thanks for helping me out and stuff..." I trail off.  He doesn’t reply, instead wordlessly heads toward the door to leave. Just when I was about to get offended he turned back and walked towards me again, getting dangerously close to my face.

"It was my pleasure Daniel" he purrs 

My mouth drops open a bit. That was not the reply I was expecting. Where did that sudden change in attitude come from? He smirks at me and heads towards the door to leave. I stutter a bit and lamely call out 

"My names Dan!" before the door closes behind him.  I don’t even want to know why he smiled at me like that; probably planning to beat the shit out of me later or blackmail me or something along those lines. I shuddered at the thought. I try not to think too much about Phil and finish cleaning up my face. I leave to find my next class, hoping 'the new kid' excuse will suffice and get me out of any trouble for being late.

I make it through half the day without any other encounters. I mostly just try my best to catch up with school work and listen to the teacher. Not really talking to anyone in particular. Later, when the bell sounds for lunch I start to panic for the first time sense this morning. I hadn't talked to anyone all day, who was going to sit with me at lunch?  I soon reluctantly made my way to the lunch room, trying to keep cool. I got my lunch I scanned the area holding my tray in my hand. After a couple of seconds of looking I gave up on trying to find a group to make friends with and walked over to an empty table. I plopped myself down and started to pick at my lunch. 

A few seconds later a group of people sat a few seats down from me, talking excitedly. Well great. That just made me feel even more awkward as I sulked by myself.  

Minutes pass and I hear someone clear their throat and address me. 

"Hi um If you don’t have anyone else to sit with you can sit next to me." The girl gestures toward the empty seat next to her. "My names Eliana. But people call me Eli for short.  

"I'm Dan." I say and hesitate before slide into the seat next to her. 

The group exchanges short greetings with me, some introducing themselves before they return to their previous conversations. 

I noticed the lunchbox Eli had in tote, it had a logo I recognized on it. I think it was a youtuber,-Sparkles Captain? Sparkly Pants- I couldn’t remember, then my eye caught the wrist band she was wearing.  

"Hey you like Panic at the Disco? I love them" I say. She turned back to me and beamed 

"Yesss oh my god I love them!!" This was obviously a topic she was passionate about because she excitedly launched into a conversation, asking me questions about songs and ranting about how she hated fake fans. We also discovered we both liked some other bands too.  We talked the rest of lunchtime, which I was more than happy about, glad I found someone who shared interests with me.  

"So what class do you have next?" She asked when we were walking back from lunch. I rummaged through my pockets and pulled out my schedule.  

"English with Mrs.Lewis" I say 

"Aw that’s too bad I have history next." She said making a face "I can walk you there if you want?" Which I accepted the offer. 

After Eli walked me to class I stopped in front of the door. 

"Thanks again" 

"No problem see you later Dan!" She says and heads to her class 

"Bye!" I call out, grinning to myself. I was glad I had made a friend I actually liked today. 

I turned to walk into the classroom and approach the desk parallel to the door. I introduce myself and ask the teacher were to sit. The older woman greets me warmly and pulls out a seating chart.  

"Well it looks like the only available seat is to next to Mr.Lester over there." She says and points her pen to the corner of the room. I turn to look at where she was pointing to and my stomach drops. 

 Sat right in the direction where the teacher was pointing sat Mr.Lester, Mr. Phil Lester to be exact.  

Just when I thought my day was getting good I find out I'm seated next to Phil. Again. He notices me staring at him and grins. I let out a long sigh and reluctantly trudge over to my seat.  

This was going to be a long school year.
