Secrets

"You just- What?"

Phil's POV

I look around the classroom curiously as I am the only one sat in there. It is quite a while before the bell should go and everyone else comes for morning registration. The only reason I was in there so early is because Dan said he is always there early but today Dan doesn't appear to be here again. He never showed up to any classes yesterday and even when school was over he wouldn't answer any of my text messages. All of this is just making me feel worse about what I said to him yesterday morning "..get lost" Those two words repeatedly rang around in my head, like they were tormenting me.

The loud sound of a bag being dropped and the scrapping of a chair being pulled made me look up from my daydream. A brown haired and brown eyed boy was sitting down beside me, "Dan." I manage to say almost silently but it was loud enough to make his eyes meet mine. A frown grew upon his tired looking face as he dragged his eyes away from mine "Shut the fuck up Phil, I dont want to talk to you." He said bitterly.

My eyes sting slightly as I blink rapidly to stop any tears (Im a very 'cry-ey' type of person, you see.) "Dan, you know I didn't mean what I said yesterday...I just-" I mumble timidly, making him sharply snap his glare back at me and allowing him to interrupt me harshly "You just what Phil? You just felt that you should hate me like everyone else does? You just decided that I could do without a friend? You just-"

Now it was my turn to interrupt him, I stand up and slam my fist down firm on the desk while allowing only a few inches between mine and Dan's face. "I just didn't want people to find out! I don't want to be humiliated for liking boys! Okay? That happened at my last school, I purposely got into a fight so I would be expelled! I don't want my dad to find out! ..He would kill me...." The last sentence was but a whisper as I collapse into my chair. My face quickly buries into my hands as I begin to sob, the memories and thoughts were flooding through my brain.

The strong feeling of arms embracing me comes as a surprise and I look up from my hands. Tears were flowing down mine and Dan's faces but a smile appeared on Dan's lips. "D-do you..forgive..m-me?" I mumble through my sobs and to my slight amazement he nods before pressing our lips firmly together.

My eyes flicker shut gently against the carefullness and slightness of his lips against mine. These few seconds we are against each other feel like hours but eventually Dan pulls away with a bkush sweeping across his cheeks. "I know that was all a bit sudden but shall we be a secret? Our secret?" he whispers while taking hold of my hand under the desk.

I am slightly dazed by what just happened but a smile appears on my face and I nod "We can be secret. I've been one for long enough."
